    Hi again

    Ok We've bought the kitchen for £2800 (pretty good, 15 nice units, with a couple of fancy corner space saver units, nice sink and taps, double neff fan oven, neff gas hob and extractor fan)

    We've had three quotes for fitting: (this includes removing half of old kitchen, all fitting and electrics & tiling)
    Homebase 'Award' winning: £3,750
    Chap recommended by a very good kitchen fitter I know (the guy I know is good is unavailable until 2009): £2,500
    And a chap who I know nothing about: £1,800 (only if paying by cash though, otherwise £2,000)

    Obviously I'm inclined to go for the cheap cash option but am also swaying towards the guy the good kitchen fitter recommended.

    Who do you think I should go for?

    You would be a fool not to go for someone who has been recommended IMO.
