To fit a kitchen worktop? We are replacing our worktop but keeping existing cabinets.
We will need one piece cut to includ the hole for the sink which will be 175cm
One piece at 48cm
One piece at 103cm
One piece at 28cm
And one piece shaped into a breakfast bar at 117cm
Obviously I know it's a bit more technical than just cutting the lengths as there will be other bits to shape and shave.
Just wondered what I should be looking for in terms of cost to do this job and if there's a rough timescale for this work.
We will be buying a wood effect laminate worktop from Wickes.
Many thanks.

You really need to get a proper quotation from a couple of kitchen fitters/joiners.
No one could give you even a ball park figure to be honest.
Get a quote, not an estimat and always on paper.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Fitting replacement worktops takes longer than fitting new tops in a new kitchen. The old ones have to be removed without damaging tiles. Your job sounds at least a days work and more realistically a day and a half for a fitter and a labourer (3metre worktops need 2 men to move them). So expect to pay £400Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

try these, they will quote based on your plans, plus cut and supply so it all slots together! Good quality wood also

The hardest parts are always getting the joints right at the corners whem there is a L join.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Thanks for the replies.
Phill99 - no problem about damaging old tiles as they are all being replaced too.
Wymondham - I will definately be looking into this thanks
Sailorsam - mainly why I just don't think I'm up to the job myself otherwise I would be straight in there with my jigsaw :rotfl:House renovation savings £25,000/£25,000

If tiles are being replaced too that's better for them, or for you if you do give it a go. I'd buy a £20 off cut and have a go yourself to be honest. There is plenty of guides online and it's moderately easy if you've got a steady hand and a bit of patience.
But for someone to quote it would ultimately depend on the joins, corners or if there is any bends.0
