DIY Kitchens or similar

Hello,
We're currently getting quotes for converting out integral garage with the aim being to extend out kitchen into it and turn it into a large kitchen/diner.
We asked the first builders to also give us a quote for a new kitchen so that any new units would be matching but this was over £5000 which is much more than we were wanting to pay.
I've looked at IKEA and B&Q without much luck.
Decided that I'd like to buy some new units that match the dimensions of our old ones, then also buy replacement doors and drawers (& plinths/cornice etc.) so that we have a matching kitchen.
Found DIY kitchens website, which is good because their units are the same size as ours, and they have a very large range of different door and drawer sizes, so we can get ones to fit our old units. About £1400 all in including delivery. (not including new worktop fitting or tiling)
Looked at B&Q, they had some nice and inexpensive doors but not in enough sizes to cover all of our current units.
Are there any other websites similar to DIY Kitchens that you have used or seen to compare this price with?
Thanks
