    The joiner that did ours said he was £50 per unit (no matter how big or small)..to fit OR £55 per unit if we wanted him to put it altogether first...yes I went for the lazy version!!!! For an extra fiver per unit it was money worth spent! and that was including the worktops fitted too...a plumber for the sink like for like charged £60..felt done there but I couldn't do it and the joiner didn't want to risk doing it wrong!
    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    We used Focus as our supplier, purchasing the kitchen through a 0% deal with Creation Finance (Good way to spread cost aslong as you pay the kitchen off in the time allowed).

    I had already removed the old kitchen myself so it was a case of finding somebody for fitting only. Factor in the cost of a skip as removing and installing a new kitchen makes alot of waste.

    We took a gamble on fitting as it was only an ex-council house I was doing up to sell on and neither the kitchen or the fitting would have to be top quality. I paid £450 for 2 blokes who fitted the kitchen in 1 day, no great electrical or plumbing work required. I had been quoted prices upto £80 per unit for 10 units, so I almost halved my fittings costs. If the kitchen was much more expensive then I would consider paying more for fitting.
    Credit card and overdraft at 18. 2 loans and 3 storecards at 20. University education flushed down the toilet through debt at 22. Car finance at 23. Car repossessed at 24. Rock bottom at 25. Learnt my lesson 26-33. Now 34 with a mortgage on an affordable house, a car paid for with cash and a bank account in credit. I learnt the hard way.

    I run a Maintenance Company and last year we fitted a Magnets Kitchen which included:
    1. Removing old kitchen
    2. Installing 6 inset spotlights
    3. Removing door and frame and installing archway
    4. Plastering ceiling.
    6. Moving 3 sockets and installing new chrome sockets / switches
    7. Levelling floor
    8. Supplying and Laying porcelain floor tiles
    9. Supplying and installing glass wall tiles
    10. Supplying and fitting plinth lights
    11. Supplying and fitting 9 magnets units and worktops
    12. Supplying and fitting 1.5 b s/s sink & mixer tap
    13. Supplying and fitting s/s hob oven and extractor chimney
    14. Decorating.
    15. Changing plumbing for wm and sink

    So basically a complete new kitchen. The only thing that remained of the old kitchen was the window. We did it all for under £6k including all certificates from gas fitter, electrician etc.
