Kitchen Units Supp+Install-Retain Worktop+Sink.

Options
Whilst a new fitted kitchen is not acheivable.
Is it possible to hire tradespeople to supply+install new kitchen units only.
Ide be requestning old Kitchen units to be removed.
I assume worktop and sink could be de install-re install as their New.
Is it Joiner or Kitchen Fitter to quote this type of job.
Won't be until next year at earliest.

thanks

  • If you are replacing all the units surely it’s makes sense to replace the worktop at the same time?
     It may be possible to remove and reinstall worktop but it depends on how the join was done.
    Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'

    worktop and sink via my builders, surprisingly  existing units were much better than I expected.
    The join was identical to previous worktop.
    I intend to make requests early '24.
    Where to begin for Units and Doors/Handles is it b+q etc.

    thanks

  • I believe B+Q are the cheapest you can buy and there is nothing with there kitchens in fact when I did mine they came in at less than half the price of Howdens the only difference was it was flat pack and has a 3mm back so unless you throw thing into your cupboards it’s really not a problem

    The Cooke & Lewis carcasses are OK quality. 5/6mm back panels, so reasonably robust. The GoodHome range don't appear to have such good reviews, so you may want to take a long hard look before buying them. Also, the range of units are somewhat limited, so if you want a 900mm pan drawer unit like I did, you either have to adapt a standard cupboard unit, or go elsewhere. As I was getting door & drawer fronts elsewhere, I opted to adapt.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Those Good Home were 1st viewed online today, unless Kicker Type Boards could be purchased separately, then I wasn't interested.
    I don't have this type of knowledge, is there Cooke & Lewis example link.
    don't expect to visit b+q though could rely on quotes and supply examples.
    Took a few Worktop and Sink quotes, though  thankfully decent quality and excellent de install-re install job.

    thanks mser's

    Cooke & Lewis is a B&Q own brand - The C&L kitchen units have been discontinued and replaced with the GoodHome range. You might find some C&L units that have been heavily discounted, but don't count on the full range being available.

    This is my PayPal Credit Motivation, need to Achieve Zero to allow Kitchen Units to be ordered, only after I talk to Kitchen Fitter/Joiner 1st.

    I've inadvertenly found a Kitchen units de installer re installer once I order a very few kitchen units.
    I'm going with limited storage space and not changing around any white goods -their recent years anyway.
    I'll be left to arrange disposal, though I've at least 2 options.
    Can't include tile removal- Tiles are going to be later years.
    Cost of Labour 2-2.5k Approx.
    Worktop/Sink retained.
    Maybe time to make retailer visit and view some units.
