New kitchen cupboards/kitchen where to begin

Don't necessarily dismiss Wickes. They finished fitting my kitchen yesterday. Brilliant job. The salesman has been overly helpful and knowledgeable. The fitter, similarly. I guess it depends on the personnel in the local store.

I have heard great success stories of people buying second hand kitchens from Ebay or similar sites. The downside is that you invariably have to go and collect it. My old kitchen, which was solid pine, is currently sitting in a skip. Such a waste of valuable timber. Any takers in Norfolk?

Good luck - it is an upheaval, then the headache of deciding where everything is going to go!

I think the kitchen might be built by now.

That may be the case but I find old posts are often helpful, like this one - not so old as to be out of date, so still relevant to anyone looking into buying a new kitchen.

I second DIY Kitchens - the units are good quality and come ready assembled which is a great help. You just need to find a local fitter.

Also, Dream Doors might well be excellent but if your actual units are old, with stained shelves or yellowed laminate, or had leaks which has caused the chipboard to swell and the laminate to peel off, new doors alone wouldn't make me happy.

I am not a spammer or trying to promote anything for gain. I've been on this forum for more years than I can remember. I just change my name from time to time.
