Most people inside the kitchen industry have a very low opinion of Wren, their sales tactics, and their levels of customer service when things go wrong. And they do. Regularly. Hence the advice to look elsewhere.
That said, if you get what you pay for, without faults or damages, and the plan fits, what you get for your money is generally fair, provided you bought on the right offer that is. For your sake I hope all goes well as it sometimes does.
Is the fitting cost high? Yes of course it is, but you are using a company backed fitting service. There is a fair amount of work there though, and though you would almost certainly save money by using a local tradesman, it might not be as much as you are hoping. I reckon, depending on where in the country you are, you could get that done for 1k less than your 4.5k quote.0 -
Hi cddc, thanks for explaining the responses I received. I went with wren because I saw my friend's recently installed wren kitchen and it was great (no probs) the plan looks great and I have everything I asked for.
In terms of fitting, the quote did come from a local guy, i think in part that's why I was so surprised at the cost. I've got a few more calls out to friend recommended people, so fingers crossed!!0 -
I can see where the other 2 are coming from.
They are proving advice around the question, as well as the question.
I recently paid £2,435 for 18 units, 4 x 3m lengths of laminate work top, end panels, plinths.
So take what you paid and compare.
Have you thought about shopping around on the units, this would then take some of the heat out of the fitting costs.
£4.5k is well off the pace, the electric work will add a cost on top as you have said, plus things ALWAYS crop up that add costs. I was quoted £1,500 plus electric work, which included 2 mitre joints. I ended up doing it myself! Not as hard as it looks! Just got gas and electric work done independently!
I would get 4 quotes from kitchen fitters locally, ask if they can include electric work as well, as they always have a go to sparky.
I'm not being judgemental, but you are coming across as a bit frosty / spiky, when people are offering you advice. Just an outsiders perspective!0 -

We looked at wrens, it was just after Christmas when they had the 75% off, as they have a lovely cashmere gloss doors that I really loved and I wanted to see what my kitchen would look like 3D as we were doing an Extension, it was 18 units it was Bespoke Laminate with intergrade washing machine 2 electric ovens a electric 5 burner hob and it did come up to £25K but with discount and they also had a voucher it came up to £10, 899 and £2700 of that was fitting, they said they prepare the walls, but it would of been in the new extension so my walls were already smooth... When I am nearly ready I will shop around more a lot of people have told me howden kitchen..0
