Hi
I am looking to buy a new kitchen but because of the amount of money I
am spending I need to look for a decent supplier. Sofar, I have seen
"world of kitchens" and Moben.

Does anyone have any good/bad impressions of either of these? Do you
have any other recommendations? As I am going to spend a lot of money I
am really, REALLY worried about screwing things up and going for the
wrong supplier.

Any help would be appreciated.

I thought you said "decent supplier"! ;-)

I'd go on recommedation and find a good local company thats been around a
while. Forget the nationals, they just sub in contractors on a fixed day
rate and charge extornionate amounts for the most basic of things.

I suppose really it all depends on SWMBO, with regards to the speed at which
the kitchen is fitted. Whether you pay the cash to some rob dog kitchen
company or do your own.
My lass, wasn't bothered how long it took, as long as it was done.
I had never fitted a kitchen before, it really was a big daunting task to
undertake and I learnt many new skills and acquired many new tools (any
excuse for a new tool) whilst doing my own.
I purchased all my units from B & Q and have been very happy with the
quality of them.
One tip though if you do it yourself. Check with the supplier of the units
that none of what you want to purchase will be going out of production for
at least 6 months. I purchased the worktops in December last and when I
wanted another in February, was told that they were not making them anymore.
They got me one though from one of their other stores. Just had to make damn
sure that I didn't cut it wrong or it would have been another £300 for
worktops and kitchen blinds etc.

Googling on Moben should tell you everything you need to know. IIRC
Moben is the German for 'bad news' g

We had a Moben salesman around to do a quote. He spent the whole time
slagging off the opposition and putting down any ideas we wanted.

In the end, he took one look at the room and said "that will cost you £
xxxx" and we hadnt even discussed what units or appliances we wanted.

Couldnt wait to get him out of the house...

FWIW I'm REALLY pleased with my new ALNO kitchen. Supplied and
installed by John Lewis.

My experience of the Dolphin/Moben/Sharps group has been of high pressure
"sign up before I leave and you can get discount" sales techniques, followed
by months of endless sales calls from other members of the group. They
(Dolphin) were expensive (initially grossly expensive, followed by just
expensive when given the line "I don't normally cover this patch, so I'll
knock off all of the other salesman;s commission on this occasion") and were
unimaginative in their solutions (no, can't move the toilet, you have a cast
iron soil stack - it was plastic!). We then had 6 months of Moben sales
calls to sell us a new kitchen, even though I told them on the first call
that I'd already changed the kitchen and wouldn't be considering changing it
again.

So I won't even use them for comparitive quotes now.

Don't know where you are, but if it's SW London area then Callaghan Kitchens
in Teddington seem to be doing good things & their business is growing.

Other than that, the Alno stuff that John Lewis sell appears to be v good
quality & although fitting would be subbed out their customer services are
IME very good.

If you don't want to /can't DIY then your best bet will be to find out
from friends and neighbours who had a good kitchen done for them and by
whom. It's a safe bet that big national chains won't be in the frame.

As a matter of interest, has anyone any experience of Crown?
