    You don't need a breakfast bar worktop they are finished on both edges which you don't need & therefore more expensive, you just need a normal 650mm worktop

    I know, its just there isn't that specific standard worktop, or any similar worktop that has bigger sizes all 600mm :( ...

    Ikea kitchens are really quite cheap and I don't know of a supplier that competes on that basis. Do you actually know what portion of the cost is units, what is appliance and what is fitting cost?

    The fitting is often more than the kitchen.

    When you say your wife found it at b&q, if you haven't bought it yet, they have a free cutting service.

    Walls aren't usually straight. It's important to do the detailed cuts of a worktop on site.

    Now I did google, did actually go on that site, however I didn't see that page of sparkly worktops!

    There are a few on there which look similar and may well be suitable. Thank you! :T

    Bah just realised those are actually quartz so actually out of our price range. That's why I missed them on that site. :(

    Apparently its £2,195 for kitchen and appliances. So about £1300 for fitting and the workmanship guarantee you get, i'd say its worth it?
