After a disastrous discussion with a Howden's kitchen planner, I've talked to a more upmarket independent store and had a much better time. I'm not positive we're actually going to do this (and I've made this clear from the beginning but as the guy said things were slow I don't feel too bad). But of course we are getting closer to the quotation stage now and I'm curious.... The guy suggested quartz counter tops which I feel indifferent too (why spend so much on something you don't really like?) But then suggested that wood (my preference) would cost about the same. For an island (6-8 units) and one run with a sink (4 units) ishould I really be expecting to pay £2-3k ?
The initial guesstimate is high (it is a higher end shop) but included everything including fitting and all appliances so maybe it's actually not going to be crazy after all ????
But £2-3k on quartz ? My car cost less....
