Thanks for this again.
Original quote was twice what I was anticipating for a very simple set up.
After much back and forth, it’s down to a price I’m happy with, and I’ve ordered the oven and worktop from elsewhere, as they couldn’t do what I wanted, despite my clear instructions and them saying they could to start with. Only 2 depths of worktop is pretty inconvenient, 616mm and 950mm - the shallow one you can get in up to 3m lengths but you can only get 2.4m for the deeper “breakfast bar” one - they recommended I buy 2 950mm deep (£410+VAT) and cut to my required size of 3m x 720mm. No thanks!
Anyway, all sorted, hopefully it turns up all time with all the right pieces.

If you do find someone with a Howdens account make sure you only pay them against the actual invoices. Regular customers get 50-60% discount on list prices all the time. This type of supplier and many of the builders who recommend them appear to make a good living from this consumer fraud.
