  • How big is the kitchen? I took accurate measurements in to wickes after playing around with the online designers from other companies. The salesman was good and gave advice on which bits fit exactly and the correct amount of blank panels I would need (for example knowing I only needed one end piece which I could cut vertically into 2 to go either side of the washing machine. That saved £30 for a panel).

    I fit a 3.5m×3m from wickes for £4500. This included inbuilt cooker, dishwasher, gas hob, extractor, all of the floor tiles, wall tiles, adhesive, sink and taps. Think it came to 6k, they had a discount on and I got another few hundred knocked off. One thing to mention is that I was left with no spare major parts at the end, meaning the bloke calculated it perfectly (just a few hinges and shelf supports). Two friends who got kitchens with B&Q and Homebase has £300-500 worth of bits that came but weren't needed. If you paid them to fit it I'm sure those bits would've gone back in the van......

  • I missed this! It's smaller than yours - 2m by 3.5m so design will be trickier but fingers crossed we'll need fewer bits.

    This sounds great - is there a specific Wickes you'd recommend? And how long did they take to install?

  • Unfortunately I'm in King's Lynn, so not much help with Wickes recommendations. I fit the kitchen myself over about 10 days. They wanted 2-3k to do it. Only took as long as I had to move a few taps and waste pipes. All of the units are basically flat pack furniture so really easy to do, just need to follow a few basic rules.
