Kitchen refurb

mudgekin

Can anyone give me any idea of how much a refurb of my kitchen should come in around including the fitting

I need 15 doors, that is including a small one above the cooker. I also desperately need a refurb of the 4 drawer unit as the drawers are falling apart.

I will also need a worktop but I am unsure of the lengths atm and the composition of this will depend on the door prices.

I'm not lookinmg for anything fancy as I am rather pushed for cash atm but this is becoming desperate

thanks

The request is a little bit too unspecific to get a price but I can give you some pointers to save pennies.

B&Q seem to always have simple white kitchen doors on special offer at the moment. Bottom of the range but look OK if you were looking for a quick sprucing up.

Don't be tempted by IKEA doors because like most things at IKEA, they are not standard sizes and the hinges are in a different place.

For the multi-drawer unit then I would suggest looking at the pull out drawers from IKEA. These will fit in a standard base unit (done it myself) and can either live inside the unit with a single opening door or can have a drawer front attached. If the base unit is falling to bits then buy a new one and put the IKEA drawers in it.

If you are not up to doing the work yourself then I would quess that finding someone to do it would be disproportionally expensive to the materials required because it is all fiddly jobs.

Thanks guys, I'm dreadfully afraid that I will have to get someone to do the work. DH is unable to do it because of a physical problem and I have a back problem that makes doing things like that difficult.

I do like the idea of the ikea drawer units though as the base unit is sound, it is just the drawers and runners that are goosed

would probably work out just as cheap to buy a basic drawer base unit at b and q, less running around then also
