Hi all

Where do the costs come from on these programs for kitchens?
OK so some characters go for the ridiculously expensive £30k fitments.
If you are a mear mortal though and will accept a decent quality but
run-of-the-mill type kitchen where do you go for a decent deal?
Many of Sarah's shows include people creating smart installs for
£3-4k, make that £6-7 to include white goods/electrics; and they all
have people in to do the fitting.
Any of the places I've been seem to start at £10k for apparently
similar quality.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
To be fair this is a bit OT cos I've just about run out of steam on
the old DIY lark and am considering "getting a man in".
Will it be significantly cheaper to arrange trades individually myself
(floor tiler, sparks, kitchen fitters etc)?

TIA

most multi-skilled fitters that I know will fit any kitchen you like for
just less than a grand, not a bad earner for four - five days work for one
man (the untis are delivered already assembled)
Look through the classifieds for builders and ask them, those who specialise
in extensions may be your best bet as they've usually fitted hundreds.
