Recommendations for where to get new 900mm kitchen cupboards

Operative word here is 900mm!

I can see lots of places that sell 720mm kitchen cupboards, but very few that sell 900mm.

As our current kitchen has 900mm it seems a step down to go to 720mm.

We live in Surrey, would appreciate any recommendations.

Thx!

    Have you looked in your local Yellow Pages there are plenty of small/medium size traders who offer made to measure custom built cupboards.

    Look for companies who do Fitted Furniture, most do bedrooms and kitchens so you could look under both.

    The fitter I've got has warned me off Ikea - he said he would refuse to fit it!

    Does your fitter not have a supplier who makes made to measure doors. I had already found doors the same size as you, but the fitter someone recommended had his own preferred company who made to measure so I went with them and had no problems. I could pick my size, colour, style and found plenty of choice. Plus it only cost me just over £1100 to replace 12 doors, completely replace my drawers and carcarcasses, worktops and sink.

    No I'm not buying doors - its the complete cabinet / cupboard.

    Made to measure is supposedly expensive in Surrey. I see you are in Manchester. Maybe I should order my units from Manchester?

    Have you had any companies around to give you quotes (see post 2 above). Certainly up here (also Manchester) they ain't as expensive as you would think. Also their prices do usually include installation unlike the likes of Ikea, MFI etc.

    BTW I know somebody in that trade and now is the best time to buy, these companies are usually really busy in the run up to christmas and then slack in January / February ;)
