February 16, 20215 yr Are you going to Howdens in Avonmouth?, I used to have an account there and the manager was really good, got him to donate a kitchen once to a school that I was governer at. Always haggle the price, they will price match.

February 16, 20215 yr I still think that BuildHub should open accounts at most suppliers so we can all get discounts easier. Mentioned it before, but it goes against the 'no commercial involvement' mentality. Could help with importing stuff from the EU if it was a company. Oh hang on, most on here voted to leave.
February 16, 20215 yr IKEA clearance? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/offers/limited-time-offers/?filters=f-subcategories%3Ametod kitchen all parts%2423598
February 17, 20215 yr I recently replaced my temporary kitchen. My temp kitchen was installed to get a temp occupation certificate, to allow my builder to handover the house to me and for me to occupy then self fit the proper kitchen. As there were minimum cubic metre storage requirements I made sure I found units that were cheapest to achieve the min storage requirements. in the end i went with IKEA carcasses units without doors. I did find the IKEA legs expensive so used cheap ones from toolstation but I’ve got a funny feeling the IKEA leg proces have reduced to a sensible price. IKEA do cheap worktops too, if you are really trying to keep costs down you could always go without unit doors. Depending on what your priorities are - look or cost.
February 18, 20215 yr What would be the cheapest way to create more worktop space? Worktop legs and an offcut of surface, would it be stable enough? It would end up being like a peninsular.
February 18, 20215 yr Ikea do various robust mobile trolley / storage units that will wheel into an underworktop space.
February 26, 20215 yr Author Finally went to Howdens ; what a waste of time. Deal had ended and it would seem adding the cheapest 'extras's' anyway would push the price towards 900!. Was in there about an hour being jerked about ( so that was ok ) New rooster bollocks deal March 22nd ( though I'm not meant to know that ) but no guarantee of price . Going to buy cheap ebay crap then make shelves/worktops from trestles and scaf boards. A TRUE self build ( i.e. shite ) kitchen .

Bought a sink and mono tap for total of 30 quid ( will be crap ). Now looking for 6m ( in 3m lengths of cheap worktop ) and yes "will be crap "
March 16, 20215 yr Author Punted on a cheap ebay kitchen . Expecting it to be absolute shite . It was certainly no worse than any other flat pack . All this ( including handles and hinges ) for £320 inc vat and delivery . Pretty good I thought
March 17, 20215 yr Author My temporary kitchen going to be larger than the real kitchen at this rate !!
