Kitchen worktop advice please

How hard is it to install your own worktop??
With any solid surface, installing it yourself is nigh on impossible. You need the right tools and experience
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Good afternoon: can be a costly exercise best left to the pros though an experienced DIYer with the right equipment and skills set could tackle wood or laminate.
Best wishes for the kitchen,MK.;)

Surely one of these Knights in shining armour can help get a better price through their trade contacts :rolleyes:
Yeah, I could. I've priced it up and including fitting could get it done (on a weekend, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more, say no more) for just over 2k...
However, the distance between here and misskool is a slight problem...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

If you want to pay for Corian - then do, but you dont need the thickness of Corian - but your opinion is yours... Corian have created a Brand - "rip off" is unfair really.0

Details, details, mwillets :rotfl:
The words "hand" "cash" "in" would have been used, but not in that order :-)

Well, we have gone away from the Corian debate a long time ago, but seeing that you brought it up again...
Du Pont have created a brand with Corian, a VERY successful one. Encore is a cheap and nasty worktop, which is trying to get some of their market. It's used by kitchen companies who have no idea what REAL quality is...
Oh and the company I work for try to avoid Corian (we would NEVER even suggest Encore) as it isn't a good enough product to fit in with our ranges...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
