new kitchen - advice needed please

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a new kitchen (worktops, cupboards, draws etc, but also new sink, splashback tiles, flooring and will need to repaint)

My problem is i'm not sure where to start.
Does the flooring need to be done and then the tiling and painting and then putting in the units, sink and then worktop?
I'm just not sure what order to do it all in.

I'm going to get one of the off the shelf kitchens and then probably employ a friend of friend to do the installing (he did my friend's and it looks great)

Any advice on the order of doing it all would be great, or can it all be done in one go?

many thanks

    If possible, rip out old units. The repaint. Then tile floor (so they go right under where the units go, that way if you ever remove a unit or replace the kitchen , the tiling is still good), then units, worktops/sink etc. You can do the floor first if you prefer, but you'll need to use good dust sheets tpo cover the new tiles.
