Managed to get a great deal with a B&Q Cooke & Lewis kitchen - yes it is a re-branded IT kitchen but the quality is not bad and for the price that I paid it is an awesome deal. I spent a long time deciding where to get my kitchen from - others had better quality but at a much higher price. To cut a long story short - I got a £14k kitchen (original quote from B&Q with fitting) for under £6k. Saved £3k by fitting it myself, another £1k by getting the appliances elsewhere (Prompt Online & Jual Domestics), £2k gettig the solid surface worktop rom the manufacture (worktops.org - Sheridans) and got £2k off the cabinet costs by using B&Qs price match. It took some persistance and tact to get B&Q to price match the kitchen with IKEA's kitchens, but after several trips to B&Q armed with paperwork and proof from IKEA they eventually buckled (only offered price match and did not include the 10% extra off). IKEA kitches are also good but they did not have exactly what we were after - do not take answers from B&Q staff as gospel - "IKEA is not as good quality as B&Q and we have 18mm carcasses, they don't" quotes like these are all wrong - IKEA are the same if not slightly better quality - anyway don't take no for an answer, keep asking why they will not price match then go away and prove their answer wrong and ask again until they run out of reasons and give in. Be nice and polite to the staff and you'll get even more!
