This may be a bit late but thought you might like to know my experiences with Homebase and Schreiber.
No, life is too short to tell you the whole story so here's the summary...
Delivery 17th Jan.
Fitters started 21st Jan with expected completion on the 25th.
It's now the beginning of June and it's not finished!
Is this just a few units?
Nope... £20,000's worth.
So if you haven't decided yet
DON'T DO IT!!
And if you have ..... Good luck


Any joy now?I'm just about to order the Homebase/Schrieber combination.


£20k ???

My kitchen cost less than that including fitting the units and worktop
and the units are custom made out of yellow pine with zero MDF or chip.

Just goes to show...


I hope they waited for the "sale" to come around.
My kitchen cost about 4 grand including appliances. So if someone has a kitchen 5 times the size of mine, I suppose it would cost 20 grand !
Good point about custom stuff often being cheaper than you think though.
