  • We paid £1,500 for fitting a £5k Howdens kitchen. It was another £600 for the electrician but he did do some extra stuff like fit outside lights and sockets and there was quite a lot of first fix work... Tiling and plastering more again on top.

    Worth every penny though as the kitchen is pretty much millimeter perfect in a very non-square room.

    An expensive kitchen fitted badly looks much worse than a cheap kitchen fitted well is the mantra, I think.

  • Well the kitchen saga continues, the inside of the units are the wrong colour. The unit sizes on the wall are three different sizes so look wrong. We can have them replaced for the ordered units but have to wait 6 weeks and they wont pay for the removal and reinstall.

    The gaps around the dishwasher are massive and looks shit. Got told that the gap is 25mm either side. Which is wrong for a dishwasher, most spec 10mm each side to fit the units.

    Worktops are the wrong length so 2 weeks till the kitchen can be finished.

    So arguements as this dream kitchen isn't but a nightmare.

    If it's their fuck up they pay, simples.

    A competent chippy/kitchen fitter should be able to make good this using decor panels as infill.

  • Out of curiosity where did you get the kitchen from?
