Recommend me a kitchen supplier

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll get the brother in law back in to do a more detailed design, and will probably go down the Howdens route.

Im not local to you, but Ive just had mine done, and is almost finished. I employed a joiner to supply & fit my new kitchen. He brought me door & worktop samples to choose from and took control of everything - gas/electric/water/plumbing/plastering/raising ceiling/vellux windows/drinking my tea etc. He sourced the kitchen from the manufacturer - TK Components who id never heard of, but I'm more than happy with it. Look for 18mm thicknesses to backs and drawer bottoms.

Wow, that looks stunning, Bear. Are those Corian worktops? How much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking (PM me if you prefer)?

Kitchen units incl all fitting & services cost approx £6k, Quartz worktops £2k and then £4k for lifting the ceiling and adding Velux windows. Appliances were extra, I chose Siemens cooker & combo microwave, Siemens induction hob, Caple extractor, Bosch 70/30 integrated fridge freezer & Bosch dishwasher. Some other additional costs for the Perrin & Rowe tap, radiator & electric sockets. I painted it myself using Farrow & Ball colours but had them mixed by Johnstones.

I've just ordered glass splash backs which were about £600 and are yet to be fitted. Aluminium bifold patio doors are on order and will be fitted December. And I haven't even thought about flooring yet, but will most likely be a cheaper version of Amtico with a Parquet effect. So maybe pushing £20K by the time we've finished

I would never have thought of having white worktops with oak units, but saw it at a friends house and loved it. I drew the layout myself, and then went to Howdens to get the proper drawing done. But we didn't like the colour of Howdens oak and their trade price with 80% discount was still high, so went with a joiner who had done kitchens for people I know.

we are very pleased with our Ikea kitchen, dishwasher and hob, the oven we bought separately.

Benchmarx - good sturdy cabinets (mine came pre-assembled which saved some time) and you can get a good deal if you know someone in the trade - they also come out and plan it for you free of charge.

Our kitchen is made by Cuisine Schmidt from France. It was fitted by a company near Shirley, Croydon. Excellent and built to last.
