    Curved units will be very much more expensive and beware of the fact that you won't get as much in them.

    I want the high gloss ones from Howden's, but as you say they curved ones are more expensive, can anyone suggest a nice looking alternative with Howdens?

    Different account holders seem to get different discount percentages at Howdens but wait for Doozergirl as she is the Howdens expert :)

    I gotta trade account for what its worth,, but not a credit account :(

    Oh and I went with Howdens in the end and sourced all appliances separately along with the worktops, sink and taps.
    That's what i am going to do as they are charging silly money for appliances £132 for a tap :eek:

    Can't seem to get quotes right sorry!, so its all in Red! :)

    Hi HM. I had a Howden's kitchen fitted and floors and walls tiled for my small kitchen for that amount. I asked Howdens to recommend fitters then asked them to quote and selected the best from these rather than asking them to give me a price directly. This could be a cheaper way of doing it.
    somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's

    Surely the fitters would want their cut as well? *confused*
    But HM atleast you have work-surfaces & accessories added in, mine don't include that!!!, what accessories/worktop did you get?

    Very few accessories to be honest - just a special draw under the oven for pots&pans, plus a 30cm cupboard that kinda "comes out".

    Oh, and sink, taps etc and cooker from Howdens was in price (though oven just £300).

    Worksurface nothing special - Cairngorn laminate (fancy name for chipboard) worktop

    Thx, but how long ago? So for £6k you had all that PLUS fitting?
