On average, what is a price of a new kitchen back home these days? How much installation on average?

What companies did people go with?

How long is a piece of string?

There's cheap and there's dear.

My advice would be to seek out a good joiner, pick your kitchen, and they should be able to source the units etc from a couple of wholesalers for a much better price. Obviously, if you're a big hitter, which you are, the stone worktops and boiling / fizzy water taps will cost you 😁

We got a new kitchen 2/3 years ago and that's what we did, got a joiner who specialises in kitchens, there's one place (think it's in Derry) that provides your kitchen doors, he'd a  brochure and she picked the doors, he then gutted the kitchen, I took up the existing tiles, saved a couple of hundred but wouldn't bother as it was a bitta effort, he also took the wall down off a back room that extended the kitchen, he provided the sparks and plumber, paid them separately but they all were there on time and good job.

He's done 4 houses in our street, currently across the street at a neighbours now. He's a perfectionist and did a great job.

I'd say we saved thousands rather than going to a kitchen showroom and paying them..
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

We actually did a mini Kitchen revival 2 years ago where you keep your current structures but take the doors off for repainting and it all gets resprayed in the kitchen too, put in a new cooker, sink & taps and a couple of other footery things and it was an excellent job (separate retiling job of the floor too), looks like a brand new kitchen. Couple of outfits around Armagh area that do that type of work.

Benny PM me the details for those people round Armagh please.

I know one fella who does it but he's hard to get and he says there a lot of painter and decorators doing it but they're not using the right type of paints to make it hard-wearing and he has been called in to redo jobs.

It was Born again kitchen's that did ours. Mrs organised it all tbh, they sorted plumbers & sparks that were required. She did say initial quote spiralled a bit when you start changing handles etc.. we got a new worktop as well. 4k by the end. Edit: this was in 2022, so with cost of living crisis I'm sure it would be a fair bit dearer to do the same today.

Definitely big savings to be had.. If I mind right, one of the suppliers is Derry and the other is in Dungannon

Went to a wholesalers there on Saturday and getting a joiner to do it.

Went to Wren and they had installation down as 4 grand and my house is not big!

Plus Wren were a bit dearer too.

I'll stick to the old laminate worktops. Not a quartz man.
