  • I was hoping for replies to this thread, as i too want to replace my kitchen. Come on, surely lots of people are having or have had, new kitchens?

    It would be good to use a company you can trust from a personal recommendation.

  • Where do yous live?

    I can recommend some in Derry/Donegal.
    I'd stay clear of MFI. Not speaking from personal experience - they made a hash of one of our neighbour's kitchens.

    I found B&Q to be the most competitive for appliances. They sometimes have deals on appliance packages. One appliance is expensive enough whereas a package of appliances can be cheap enough.

    B & Q free design service (She came to the house) No obligation gave a list to order. Ordered had no problems fitted it ourselves and got a joiner in to do the benches. I did not order any appliances because mine were fairly new. we had a couple of items left over which were refunded no problem. I would order from them again.
  • I live in Ards so any company in the North Down or Belfast area would be good.
  • Have to agree B&Q are the best, you can order on line, why not get a local company to come and do a design and then order via the web site, not sure if you have B&Q to your part of Ireland, I am sure they are now down south so you may in luck
  • Glenwood in Antrim are not bad. We had no choice as they were the sole supplier for our new house. They were very helpful in the showroom but I can't really comment on prices.
    Heard their advert on local radio today-they say that they have the biggest showroom in N. Ireland.
    Hope this helps!
  • Thanks to all of you good people who replied. I live Carrickfergus so B&Q are very close at Abbeycentre. Have to admit I didn't think of them. Thought we'd have one company do the lot.

    Having it designed then doing most of the work ourselves seems like a good idea. Certainly cheaper! The worktops are obviously the hardest part. We priced Abbey kitchens to supply worktops only and their prices were reasonable and good to deal with.

    I like to know I'm saving money!

    Check out the units online at B&Q they often have special deals.
  • Check out Empire Kitchens (think that's what they're called) in Whiteabbey village. We got them out for a quote for a laugh as we expected them to be Very expensive. They gave the most competitive quote, no hard sell, very easy to deal with and their fitters, sparks and plumber did a cracking job.
