    From my experience, you will get a better quality kitchen from Howdens than B&Q for the same price. However - if you're really on a tight budget, then you can probably get the kitchen units cheaper from B&Q than from Howdens. Ikea also get good reviews for their unit quality v price.

    Howdens should be pre-assembled, saving you some time installing them. But you need a trade account to buy a Howdens kitchen.
  • I didnt realise howdens would be pre assembled, that will help. I dont have an account but know a carpenter that does.

    Many thanks for the reply

    Check out benchmarx too, as good as Howdens and usually the same price. Having just done my own kitchen and not being in the trade I had no problem opening an account with either of them. Settled on Benchmarx because in our design they had a particular glazed unit we liked and the Howdens people at our local branch were completely rubbish - other branches would be better I'm sure (it would be hard not to be).
