Anyone fitted DIY kitchen units?

If the room is replastered, with electrics/plumbing sorted, then the units should be easy to shunt together and level?

All my units are base/tall units, so looks easy enough.



Any thoughts?
 
Well I’ve got local guys who I trust to do electrics/plumbing and plastering.
Units are coming pre assembled.
Worktop being fitted by supplier as well.

Will see what the other fitter quotes come in as.
 
Yeah i think i will set aside extra time, and give it a go myself alongside a good handyman. Will get a few more quotes and if they sound reasonable then will take them up on it. Saves me some lost weekends/nights.

Sparks/Plumbers/Plasters/granite company will be doing the specialised stuff anyway.

Nope, i class it as something i could potentially do, especially if the units come ready built.

Well, my helper will do all the cutting and routing part of the job. I'd just be the labourer. lol


Got a fitter coming out tonight, and if i get a half decent quote, then i will be hiring.

End of the day its all down to money

I've had 1 quote of £600 and then another guy has come back to me suggesting a day rate of £200 and he estimates it'd be 3 days work so they work out about the same. I'm probably a bit more keen on the second guy but i'm always skeptical of "day rates". Although at the same time i'm not 100% sure how my job is even 3 days worth!

My second fitter has come in with a £700 rate for fitting of units(21 units), removal of old kitchen, skip hire etc. 3 days work for 2 guys. Electrician and plasterer down to me or he could recommend people to come and quote.


First fitter quoted 2.5k labour + extra for materials for start to finish service. Extra for gas/elec certificates.
