Default Cheap and basic kitchen units

Paul Ockenden formulated on Saturday :
I want to fit some really basic kitchen units in the garage. So I thought
I'd pop down to B&Q and get some - I've used them before and they
are prefect for jobs like this: Plain white, doors handles and plinth all
included in the box, and dirt cheap.


Just one problem - couldn't find them in B&Q, and when I asked I was
told that they no longer sold them. ;-(


Tried Homebase and Wickes but they don't sell them either - they both
have 'take away' kitchens but they aren't as basic (and cheap!) as the
stuff that B&Q used to sell.


Does anyone know if any other chains sell the kind of thing I'm looking
for? I'm guessing that it'll need to be someone local - the weight probably
makes it impractical as a mail order purchase.


Is there a kitchen unit manufacturer near to you, they often have a
factory outlet where you can pick up end of line/ slightly damaged
stuff really cheap and sometimes you can leave an order with them until
something suitable turns up.

We got a complete base, sink, taps and fittings all in for £100 a few
weeks ago - good enough for the utility room we needed it for.
