80% discount!

I think the fitter quotes you the book price, and thus has another 80% profit (as people dont like paying large amounts for the skilled fitting)

I think the quality of the fitter is more important than where you get the units from, or how near their shop is.

There must be online places where you can do initial draft designs, which can then be incrementally improved

I have a namesake who is obviously a kitchen fitter who deals
with Howdens.

He tried to get the same email address as me but, of course,
his has a '2' appended.

About 3 - 4 years ago, someone at Howdens started leaving the
2 of his email address, so I started getting his quotes from
time to time!

They quoted 'retail' prices and his discount was 80%!

The prices he paid were very good but I don't somehow think
the quality could have matched what his customer paid, though!

The branch he used was in Stevenage, if I recall correctly.

Perhaps you should tell Howdens you are a fitter and ask for a
quote. Then tout around for a fitter to fit the stuff when it
turns up.

You pay his labour costs and save the 80% mark up!
