Anyone recommend (or not recommend) anywhere to get a new kitchen from? Would be looking for the company to recommend the design and also to fit.
Live in newtownabbey.
Thanks.

    Believe it or not we had ours done by B&Q. Full design service and survey by a qualified guy. Great team of fitters and absolutely delighted with the finished job. The price was well below what we'd been previously quoted by others.

    Probably too far for you to consider but just in case - Cordiners in Bangor - avoid - had problems with installation with one person saying one thing and another saying the opposite - and since the install a number of doors have suffered from blown laminate covering - first one replaced without question - every door since has been a nightmare - even when I offered to pay for replacement door

    Thanks for the advice.
    We had this problem the first time we got our bathroom done - the plumber blamed the tiler who blamed the electrician. Nightmare.
    Sometimes it is better to know who not to go to rather than who to choose from.

    Must admit hadn't thought of B&Q - good idea. Thanks!

    We got a ikea kitchen nd them bought a granite work top.

    I love it

    I built the cupboards, hubby fitted, we paid for an electrician to wire up, hubby one all he tracking to where things were needed

    We done our own tiling , that's floor as we had granite up risers or whatever they are called

    The results in our case warrant it. Best of advice and excellent quality of product and workmanship. :)

    I got a kitchen quite a few years ago from Homebase. Full design and installation service. A job well done and was a fair price, though B&Q would certainly be worth a look too.

    Go to JHC hardware in Duncrue industrial estate and ask for Stevie upstairs in the showroom. You will be impressed.
    A Lot of kitchen suppliers get their stock here, below is a link to web site http://www.jhchardware.com/dcp/s/kitchen

    Good luck :beer:

    Often there is a good reason for this.

    You always remember the quality long after the price has been forgotten imo.
