Walk-in larder units

Hi

I have been looking at a replacement kitchen and I have come across a walk-in larder unit that I really like in Wickes. I was wondering if anyone has come across walk-in larder units from any other kitchen companies?

I have decided a walk-in larder unit is a definite must for me, but I don't want to HAVE to buy from Wickes. Although their kitchens seem to be of a good quality and have mainly good reviews, I would like to have the option of another company so I can get a comparable quote.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give :)

    Benchmarx do exactly the same ready built kitchens as Wickes. They are both part of the Travis Perkins group.

    My recently installed kitchen was bought from Benchmarx & I found their service & prices excellent.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    I'm getting a kictchen through Benchmarx and would second the great service, but don't recall seeing a walk-in larder unit

    Just a thought you could just get that built completely seperate to the kitchen.

    Did you tell BenchMarX you were trade?

    Or were they happy to deal with you as a self-buildr?
  • It's a bit of a waste of space, more walk in than storage.

    No help I'm afraid but that larder unit is why I got wickes out to measure my kitchen lol. I wouldn't say its more walk in than storage, I spent ages looking at it in store, seems like it would store loads. Only comes in 3 of the ranges though.

    I go to see the drawings tomorrow. Quite excited lol.

    A bespoke kitchen company will make you anything. The small ones without huge showrooms to maintain are not expensive.

    There has been a slight parting of the ways between Wickes & Benchmarx in terms of unit range and door styles. The corner larder is, I believe, Wickes only.

    Much of the range is the same, but from about June last year, not all of it anymore.....

    There is an evil rumour that Wren are now also offering a copy of the Corner Larder.., though read the various Wren threads before heading that way!
  • I loved the walk in corner larder in Wickes, we did our kitchen a year ago and looked everywhere to see if anyone else made them as Wickes was a little too big for us, no joy finding any elsewhere.
