Which company to use to have kitchen designed?

I know exactly what I want and also know where I will get the units etc. (direct from the manufacturer), but need to have everything measured properly so could buy the right sized bits.
Which would be the best company to request a visit from a sales person to measure it all ?
It's a bit cheeky I realise but all's fair in love and war and kitchen design, no?
Many thanks in advance!

We got Wickes to design ours. It's a small galley kitchen, so design options were rather limited.
I measured up, sketched the kitchen layout out on graph paper and took it to our local Wickes. The bloke there input all the measurements into his PC and produced a plan & 3D sketch of what it would look like. He also produced a list of all the different units etc we'd need.
We ordered all the stuff from Wickes (as they had a sale on), but got a carpenter we know to come and fit it.
Very pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks Eaglebird. Will have a look at Wickes but in all honesty, would like someone to come to me instead of me, with twins in tow, travelling to their showroom.

Ikea have an online planning design tool where you can design your own kitchen, keeps DD (12)occupied for hours!

Howdens are excellent if you have a branch near you - our designer came to the house, took all measurements and send us 4 CAD drawings by the end of the day. HTH

Wickes are pretty helpful

Thank you all! Shall try Howdens and Wickes. Regarding the online design tools, well, our kitchen has weird little corners and bits that make measuring a tad complicated

IKEA, defo.

They're kitchens are very durable and they're extremely helpful.

IKEA also provide a good resource for the kitchen planning/buying process
