Any one got any advice on new kitchen. Looking for good quality at reasonable prices. I've heard Magnets are ok but how do they compare.
Looks as though there is so much choice out there. So what is good vs bad on terms of quality. Can you recommend and good places to buy?

Magnet and Wickes are overpriced thundercunts.
Howdens are good if you have a kitchen fitter that uses them A LOT, otherwise avoid.
Ours came from DIY Kitchens, the quality is absolutely superb, soft closing cupboards as standard.
Our kitchen has about 16 units and it came in around £6k (not including fitting) Howdens wanted about £8k and Wickes about £12k.

Also, Homebase weren't bad but you have to really knock them down, B&Q prices are great but they are an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Agree with HH. DIY kitchens well built, come already assembled, well priced and site reasonably easy to get round.

Wickes kitchens are circa 40% cheaper with Benchmarx, they are part of the same group and technically trade only. But they are likely to want the business, *taps nose*

At last a thread I can claim to have knowledge of.
Howdens are good and if ordered in October you will get a really good deal as its their sale period ( known as P11 ) but the trick is get your quote now and then hold fire until the last week of October when the branch managers are desperate and trust me they get really desperate due to the pressure of their bosses. They will phone you personally and beg you to buy it before the end of October.
As for worktops there is only one place to buy granite or Quartz from and that's me 😀

Also if you don't need to replace the carcasses then go to kitchen door workshop, cheap as chips and plenty of choice.

Most people hardly ever use their kitchen and only need a can opener and a microwave.
Anyone considering spending serious money on a kitchen is doing it for show or to keep their wife happy and is clearly an under the thumb pussy.

I don't but it was a point about the public in general which you can deduce if you study food buying habits.
Sit down and watch endless celebrity chefs and then buy a ready meal.

Bought our new one in Wickes - their prices for the kitchen itself were fine, but their fitting is a rip-off.
Got a bloke of ratedpeople.com who fitted the whole thing, including all the extras that Wickes would have charged even more for, for less than half what Wickes quoted
