Yeah all the research i have done points to this. Good kitchens no so great kitchen fitting service.

due to amount of chippy work that i need doing i always planned to not get mine fitted from them. Also was recommended howdens kitchens

Incite interiors based in Derby very very good.

Never had a kitchen off them but I'd imagine they'd be great too.

It won't if you put in a secondary return

Not a great deal of difference across the major brands, it comes down to the individual designer and fitter in the end, the fitter more so. I'd suggest finding the fitter first and let him steer you on the supplier.

I've only done a couple of wren kitchens but the main criticism I had with them is they supplied way too many plinths/end panels/trims, these items really ramp up the bill and they weren't interested in returns. One job I had over 2ks worth of bits surplus. Magnet and howdens also do it but are better with the returns

Have a look at lubina, based in Colchester, a step up in quality from the other companies mentioned here, not necessarily a step up in price

Nope nothing as of yet... move was horrible didn't get keys till 5pm on the Friday so that was bit rubbish.

All were done is stripped walls
Started plastering the ceilings today done kitchen and bathroom get rid of that artex.

Ordered bathroom
Ordered kitchen
Ordered flooring

Found some 1 to do all the above fit it. Some of the quotes was madness. And he's also gonna knock down like an porch type thing it's just a dead space and the extra window in front of my boys bedroom just stops light also has a weird sliding door 😆 that be coming down soon and swapping the old lead crossed double glazing for just plain glazing.

Also in the next week or two my friend should be coming round to exchange the immersion heater for a new cabinet that will be going in the loft.

Previous owners left loads of old toot every where in the loft in the sheds and garage. So just waiting for works to start so I can order a skip bit of a liberty really and nothing I can do I don't think. The Mrs messaged them a nice message asking politely if they could come collect rest of belongings and they blocked her. They ain't even telling me the little wall key safe number that's next to the front door. Was my best mates while the house was going through 😆

1 weird thing I did find when washing my hands in the bathroom sink that my head become really hot. The bathroom light had a heating filament going around it 😆 thought I was on a sun bed. Safe to say that monstrosity has now been removed and we're down to no lights in there. Bathroom getting started next week 28th kitchen being delivered 12th so be in b4 Xmas and in the meantime the bloke and decorate if he wants and then do flooring. Decisions decisions

Make sure you check on eBay etc before you Chuck everything in the skip. The house we bought was ful of “****” when we got the keys. You be surprised that what people will pay for old stuff. Mine was mainly old records and football programs. It will at least pay for the skip hire trust me

Funnily enough the old love letter we found which was the old woman promising the old man a blow job when he gets home didn't sell
