Hi all
We're having a room turned into a kitchen, so starting from scratch with design and structure. We have absolutely no idea what we're doing, but we do have a builder and joiner who's done work for us before and is a friend-of-a-friend who we trust and like.
He uses Howdens and has had an easy time with their kitchens in the past. We have had Howdens in to design and quote (based on either their top end Tewkesbury or mid range Clerk). Lots of share stories about Howdens out there but also lots of people with their kitchens...
Design view is my-kitchen.howdens.com/plan/8W17365520001cmZ
To give you an idea of size. Quote was a little under £7k Clerk or £10k Tewkesbury, including appliances and the better of their laminate worktops.
Does this seem vaguely ok? Are there any obvious things we should do differently? Builder is perfectly willing to try other suppliers but doesn't have any personal experience with others (and timing is a bit tight to get something sorted now).
Thanks for any advice! We don't have a hard budget but main thing is believing we've got value for money and it was worth spending any extras. Solid stuff that lasts is much more important for us than style.
