The next in a long-running series of questions ... where to buy kitchen

My list so far has Howdens, B&Q (not impressed), Wickes and Screwfix -
has anyone here got any recommendations (or the opposite)?

For standard chipboard, you may as well use gumtree facebook freecycle freegle etc and add your own doors. If you want water tolerant carcasses, afaik you'd need to make your own. Wood frame or a suitable ply or OSB. Or go concrete.

I used P5 (?) chipboard (hard, green, coating) in the loft. On a 'fine' day
there was a shower that wetted the surfaces and was dripping of the pile of
sheets, some going onto the tongues and into the grooves.
Couldn't move it immediately, so separated the sheets and stood them on
edge. No sign of swelling anywhere.
I don't know if it would be any good for making units.

MRMDF would be a better option than chip, since you can finish it to a
good standard without needing to lip or veneer it.
