Where to buy a kitchen from?

Question

Where is the best place to buy a kitchen from? I have looked at a variety of places (B&Q, Wickes, Wren ETC) and they all vary massively on price and  quality. I am looking for something mid range, likely in a high gloss finish. Is it better to purchase myself and then hire a kitchen fitter?

Sometimes it will work out cheaper to get your kitchen fitter to ‘supply and fit’ as we get good discounts as we buy from places that are not open to the public, so, for example, you could buy the kitchen for £3500 and pay £1200 for kitchen installation, a kitchen fitter could supply and fit for £4200 and still be happy with their labour cost, and 9/10 times the quality of kitchen supplied by the kitchen fitter will be a lot better than DIY shops.

Big chains in my eyes don’t offer Best Buy they just sell you what’s pleasing on the eye and make it as cheap as possible.

I’d be happy to give you a competitive quotation for one of our bespoke kitchens and I’ve been told more than once that we were cheaper than wren and B&Q 

Thanks Jonathan

The best kitchens are Magnet kitchens or Howdens kitchens, they both have good quality kitchens.

Krzysztof · Answer

I recommend Howdens Kitchen for good quality and price.
If you need help with kitchen design.
We will advise and install kitchens at a reasonable price.

It’s a personal choice in the end, but Howdens kitchens are good, although you will normally need a tradesman with an account to get one from there. But they have the advantage of the kitchen carcasses already made. So no flat pack kitchen.

Hi, 
DIYKITCHENS, far better than all of them, both in quality & price, Range is unbelievable.
Either is good, but you need a good measure & floor plan.

Hi, we only fit Howden kitchens (trade only) I can say B&Q have stepped up with their new units and doors and do come in high gloss but we only use Howden as we can get it cheaper then pass that savings on to the customer.

Most companies use contract fitters. 
So why not get your own and avoid the commission that the company will add on. 
You can probably get a better deal purchasing A kitchen yourself. Push for freebies. There are always sales on.

Good afternoon.

I'm in the middle of finishing a kitchen for a customer in Cardiff, he purchased his kitchen from B&Q in a dark grey gloss finishes, it looks very nice. I have a Magnet account who deals in kitchens and they bet any like for like quotes and I could fit it for a good price for you to.

Many thanks Kevdewalt carpentry services.

Hi best place for a good quality kitchen at a fair price would be Howdens joinery. They are a trade only so best to get in contact with a kitchen fitter first.

Kris · Answer

Hi

To be honest we have used Howdens, B&Q and have installed kitchens from DIY kitchens. All are ok, I would say the quality of the standard flat pack B&Q isn't much worse than a standard Howdens kitchen, as long as the doors look good you wont see the inside anyway. I would suggest finding a tradesmen to fit a flat pack kitchen, use someone like tkc, really cheap but good quality, at the end of the day its laminated wood, so don't be ripped off by wren for example.

I installed couple of kitchens in past. Cribbit Installers in Kent. The kitchens are really solid. Very good quality.

Tony · Answer

I find DIY Kitchens probably the best, I’ve fitted numerous over the last few years and if there’s a problem they always manage to sort it out quickly and efficiently.
Hope this helps
