If you are frugal then your kitchen can be done on a seriously low budget, our kitchen is 12' x 16' has worktop and base units on 3 sides wall cupboards, built in fan oven hob etc and was all done for less than £1000 with all the fitting done ourselves. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a fab kitchen. Good luck with yours.

I'm absolutely amazed you could kit our a kitchen that size for so little. Where did you get your appliances and units from?

We are looking to refit our kitchen too.

I've just costed a kitchen from Homebase for £1200 with appliances for a 3m square kitchen. It's 10% day today and there is already 20% off kitchens this week end on top of their half price units! I can't really do the maths on that, but it's units only that are half price so the fiddly bits do make it add up to more than it should.

I was really impressed with the help I was given and unlike MFI they didn't even flinch when I asked to take the plans they'd done away to double check at home. They'll even hold over the 10% over until Thursday for me!

I was putting off doing my kitchen as I was expecting it to cost £5k then I discovered ikea free-standing units, the whole lot is costing me less than £1500 without appliances, I already have virtually new appliances anyway. Being freestanding the units do not need to be fitted by a professional, can be moved around as you wish and taken with if you want when moving house.

I found the ikea home planner very useful as well for deciding what goes where, working out costs and seeing how it looks in 3d.

I need a new kitchen too (we recently moved and gutted the entire house)and after having a quote from B&Q of £7800 (no appliances as I already have them) I smiled and said thank you very much.
I am now going to buy mine from Bernstiens who supply B&Q with some of their designs and looking to pay £1000 for the kitchen and my friends son (who is a kitchen fitter) is going to fit it. My kitchen is roughly 10ft x 12ft and I am going to have solid wood doors and good quality cabinets.

We have just had a kitchen fitted by B and Q which has an integrated cooker, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. It cost £4,200 but that was WITHOUT the tiling which would have costed nearly a grand more.

My advice would be to avoid B and Q like the plague. We waited 6 months for our kitchen and we had to chase them up daily to find out what was going on. They were absolutley useless and nearly caused my husband a nervous breakdown.
