Looking to get a new kitchen install.

I've done quite a lot of research into kitchen options and have settled on ordering from DIY kitchens then either installing myself or paying for an installer. Works out far cheaper than any kitchen company and I was very impressed with the build quality when I went to their showroom.
Most of these special offers / sales still work out at least 50% more expensive.

From memory Ikea sizes aren't standard so you have to stick with them for aftercare.
I preffered the worktops from Wickes (price wise for same items) and cabinet/cupboard shells from B&Q.
Just about to redo our kitchen as it's being knocked into the dining room.
Why - god only knows

Wickes is very good quality. I had the Sofia range. It’s similar to benchmarx.
fitted it myself with custom worktops so can’t comment on fitting but wickes were very good about supply of units only and did a home visit and I actually used their design as it was better than anything I could come up with.

Wickes is very good.
Try chippyshop for worktops if that's what you want.

Out of interest who's doing the install? We are looking at knocking through to our dining room but I think we need a steel lintel put in and I assume I'll need to get a builder to do that bit?
