Yep, but with £50k on offer I doubt there will be a shortage of people happy to supply (and assemble) a new one

If it's worth a lot less than £50k then yes. For all we know the op might want £60k's worth of Kitchen for £50k, if that's the case I doubt there'd be a supply of people happy to do it.

Expensive is dependent on wealth mostly. If you're earning 200k+ a year, 50k is nothing really. If you only earn 30-40k a year then it seems an extortionate amount.

Although personally for 50k, i'd be expecting top of the range and it better sing and dance too :rotfl:

If I were earning over 200 K a year , I still would not spend 50K on a kitchen .

Hi guys sorry for the delay in posting.

Yes its a lot of money but we wanted a nice kitchen and its proportional to the value of the house.

I have my jointer fitting the Kitchen and he can put it together but the point is that he should not have to. Its a 1.4m wide unit with pocket doors that slide into the side of the unit, if its not sport on its going to cause me problems in a few years time.

I paid for a fully assembled kitchen and thats what I feel I should get. I know £350 is nothing in relation to what the rest of the project cost but I am not willing to pay on principle.

It's not flat pack in the Ikea way though is it. It will be a complex unit that needs assembled onsite. The company that supplied it will know all the pitfalls of sending it prebuilt and would want to avoid the high probability of damage in transit, this would cost both them and you money if it gets damaged and you wouldn't be happy having to wait weeks for another to be made keeping your fitter waiting for it.
