February 16, 20215 yr Any recommendations? Been looking online and for around 300 can get a very small kitchen set. I'm going to butcher this to suit our temporary needs ( 'temporary' means I reckon maybe a year with it ) I'll buy the appliances we want e.g. cooker, hob etc. and just wack them in.
February 16, 20215 yr Author This looks good https://www.smallsmart.co.uk/products/play-kitchen-deluxe-kids-brown-wooden-toy-kitchen-with-10-utensils-grey?variant=17024505806919¤cy=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpMTUkbju7gIV82DmCh3xYgz2EAYYAiABEgJ4s_D_BwE Edited February 16, 20215 yr by pocster
February 16, 20215 yr Aldi single induction hob £35, brilliant, I prefer to our Siemens £1000 hob. I think Lidl does them too

February 16, 20215 yr This sort of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Modern-Kitchen-5-Units-Cabinets-Set-Dark-Oak-Cupboard-Worktop-Budget-Cheap-Small/113054393917?hash=item1a5291263d:g:-m4AAOSwqApdpbdh

Looks suitably cheap and undoubtedly shit. Could do with more base units ( guess I could just buy those ). For once I was trying to be a REAL cheap scape!
February 16, 20215 yr Howdens will do you a full 9 unit kitchen for £400 so got to be your cheapest option.

February 16, 20215 yr Mate of mine, who lived in a large 9 Man Artic Army tent, used a free standing kitchen from Idea. Worked well.

All going to end up in the skip at some point.... ok, I presume you haven't got an existing Kitchen your removing to butcher? Just a thought, why don't you phone local kitchen fitters to find out if they have any old kitchens they are removing you can have?
February 16, 20215 yr WHY will it end up in the skip? Why not just buy less of the units of your final kitchen for now = no waste? Or buy the units that will make up your utility room, and use them as a kitchen for now? We knew we were eventually having granite worktops so we bought the kitchen units and a cheap laminate worktop. We left that worktop a bit over length for the kitchen and used it, and then later it got moved to the utility room.

TBH I'd probably stick it on eBay for £100 buyer collects ( and dismantles ) We have no utility room. I'm special. My house is special

February 16, 20215 yr Just watch Howdens for worktop lengths. Less than 3m it’s about £15/m, go over and it jumps to double that for the same stuff.
February 16, 20215 yr Author I'm going to build my temp kitchen in the middle of the under ground dungeon deliberately to keep away from walls as they aren't complete. Also I don't want to move the temp kitchen. To make it stronger I can bolt the units together. I was thinking about a 'false' wall behind them to mount the wall units on. But I can't fix to the floor due to UFH - ct1 a wooden supporting structure to the screed?????
February 16, 20215 yr If you have a Howdens account keep an eye on their special offers, they often sell off end of line left over units or worktops really cheap. Just having a look back and they have had odd kitchen units for as little as £10 and 3M worktops for £30. All very much branch dependent I would think.

I'm sure on the spot some extra 'deals' will appear!

February 16, 20215 yr Another option is to buy the units for your future utility room, and use those as a kitchenette first.

(Update: I see it has a spaghetti-fingers, but I'm on Cornish Oysters this week. What's the Trangia about?)
February 16, 20215 yr Get a couple of trestles and plywood and cut a sink out and sit a microwave on it. Make another and there is the prep space.
