So glad you listened and saved yourself a pile of money not to mention trouble. This is where GN comes into it’s own.

Lucky escape Elles

Elless I stayed well clear of Wren and went locally to Kitchen Magic which is advertised on TV by Debbie McGee. Maybe I was just lucky, but mine were fitted by a qualified carpenter so look superb. I chose pale grey ones, I have a large kitchen, and they look as good as the day they were fitted at least 3 years ago.

You saved yourself money, frustration and heartache.

Well done, Elless !

Yes (hopefully) local firm with very good reviews.

Relieved to hear that you managed to avoid that!
Have you found a more reliable firm?

Some may remember I posted asking if anyone had used Wren? After getting a quote from an independent kitchen supplier it turns out not only have we saved £7000 but if we'd gone ahead with Wren it would have been a nightmare. The Wren plans show that an integrated washing machine had been placed over the stop cock, all the corner cupboards I asked for were single ones with the corner blocked off. The island was a metre smaller than I expected, the list went on and on.
