Am I mad in thinking that I can fit an ikea kitchen myself?

[sophierosie]

I'm planning on getting an ikea kitchen in the next few months and only need a few units. They are going in the same position as existing units so I could slowly replace them one by one.

FIL is a builder so would be able to help with the worktop.

The only unit I'd need to get someone to look at would be the sink unit. I'm having some work done before hand to move dishwasher and washing machine to one wall so there wouldn't need to be any repiping through any of the new cabinets other than the sink one.

Is this at all possible do you think? Has anyone tried this themselves?

Thanks

You can. I've done one myself.

I must say that when we got a joiner round to put one it, it looked much better

How about simply replacing the doors and worktops?

have you fixed a cupboard door on, MB?

Yes, one of my forst paid jobs was in a new lab in Edinburgh and our first job was to fit out the lab!

because kitchen stiff was cheaper, and the grant was limited, we fitted kitchen base units for the lab work spaces!!

I can hold hands, but only in ignorance as yet. Don't think we'll be fitting ours for a month or so yet.
Let us know how you get on!
