In order to fit an IKEA kitchen I need deeper than the usual 600 work

Has anybody seen 700s around in local sheds/suppliers at a sensible
price?

The price does go up a lot when you want wider work tops, but the benefit
is worth it.

Try some of the independent kitchen shops. Usual sizes are

600mm commodity price (£40/3m) but will look mean, has no room for out
of true walls and will probably force you to leave a gap at the back which
you hope the tiles will cover.

616, 650 mm as above but disproportionately expensive.

700, 750 and 900 which has two 'front' edges. The ripped-off edge can be
used as an upstand.
even more expensive.
