    Whats a single wall cupboard?

    If its a wall mounted kitchen unit, yes, wickes will do basic units and doors. A 1000 wall unit is about £50-60 last time i looked and the doors shouldnt be much more than £15 each (youll need 2).

    If you want to save a bit more than that they sometime flog ex displays, worth asking. And most places will usually have a few boxes that are opened returns etc which they will usually sell cheaper.

    If its a normal wardrobe, again they should sell those, though i imagine ebay would be cheaper. Alternatively keep an eye out on local buy swap sells.


    seems prices have dropped a little since i looked.

    ......... or check Freegle or Freecycle or whatever the group is called in your area. You will have to collect but it is free.
