All I do is fit kitchens.
Ikea – fitted one and said never again.
Wickes – not bad quality but, as with b&q etc. your at their mercy once you’ve paid and nearly every one I’ve fitted has had problems. Missing items, bad designs and general headaches. Try to stay clear these days.
Howdens – fitted hundreds of them, great for builders as there stock and deadlines don’t matter. Wouldn’t have one in my house as there is better products for the money. They used to be cheap when MFI was around (they were owned by the same company) but not any more.
The best advice that been given is to use DIY-kitchens, I use their parent company (they do credit terms, better range of sizes and a few different styles, etc.) Quality is spot on and prices are very good.
