How do you buy from Jewsons? is it only for traders? Where can you find the prices of the items you want?

No, not just trade. Our local Jewsons has a kitchen specialist inhouse and he sorted everything out.

I don't know if you can find out the prices elsewhere but there wasn't any hard sell from Jewsons.

I did a rough plan of the ground floor on floorplanner, it will be approx 24ft X 20. Its a forever house!

We are having a very similar sized kitchen and layout to yours, and using a German handless system, granite, elica hood and top of the range Miele appliances are quote is £33,000 including a £1.5k fitting charge. We are based in the south east.

Wow thanks Paul, I knew kitchens could get pricey but that is a lot especially when the whole place will need doing. Looks like i'll be getting a Tesco's own brand kitchen with Tesco appliances (

Thanks Tallu, some good ideas

I am not necessarily looking for top designer brands just something that is not going to fall apart after a few years.

Well don't opt for a Tesco kitchen then.

The worst kitchen supply and fit that I have experienced in recent years was by Jewson.

I accept problems can occur, and am content when they get resolved. The problem with Jewson is a complete lack of management structure - nobody is prepared to be accountable for anything. Emails remain unanswered, phone calls are not returned, and the customer is forever chasing responses. The Accounts system is a disaster area. Even the Directors do not give a damn about the customers, nor the reputation of the company they direct.

I am in the buiding industry, I know Jewson... you have been warned!

We didn't have ours fitted by Jewsons so I can't comment on that.

We're very happy with the kitchen we bought through them.

It was more complex than this, and I apologise for not making it clear. The kitchen was designed by Jewson, supplied by Jewson, and fitted by a fitter working for me. Jewson used the brains and skills of this fitter in an attempt to overcome all their errors with the design, supply and missing pieces. Which, of course, cost me money, because I was paying the fitter's costs.

Ultimately I went back to Jewson and said "you are having a laugh expecting me to pay all that money for your kitchen". It became apparent that nobody is accountable for anything within Jewson. So a wrangle started...but that's another story!
