  • Has anyone got a £/m^2 figure for a basic kitchen refurb including all new cooker, hob, fridge freezer and washing machine?

    I'm thinking about doing mine. As a PhD student I'm (relatively) time rich but cash poor, so would be looking to reduce budget by doing some of the work myself. I also have a father in law who is a furniture maker and who has done similar in a flat in the past.

  • Not sure about an m^2 figure, but Ikea get good reviews. Smallish kitchen and doing the bulk of the work youself and you could do it for under £2k (at least a mate of mine who's quite handy did).

    I'd second @Tonts recommendation about Ikea. As long as you can measure up accurately and take note of where the boxing / gas / electric stuff goes, you can pretty much tweak it to your heart's content online after a quick trip up to the planning spot in tottenham court road. My 2m x 3m kitchen cost £3.5k with installation another few grand on top. Excellent financing too - I got mine on 36 months interest free credit, which means I'm paying about a hundred a month for it.
