the cost of units ect is not too bad, compared with between £1500 and £3000 just to fit, and takes around 3 - 4 days!!! sounds like bloody good money to me.

Because a nice kitchen adds a lot of value to a house. And most people don't have the know-how to do it on their own, so they can charge a bunch. The room that normally attracts the most attention when a person is buying or selling a house is the kitchen. They are also the most expensive to remodel because so much is in them: cabinets, countertops, appliances, lighting, tiling, electrical wiring, stove air vents, sinks, waterlines, drain pipes, gas lines, etc.

With tax, insurance(van, tools + public liabilty), corgi papers, Part P certificate, no paid holidays or sick pay, how much would you want to do it?.
2 well qualified tradespeople £1500 for 4 days thats a bargin, get your hand in your pocket and pay the going rate.
Or pay £400 quid to a cowboy and I'll come a laugh at you when hes made a right balls of it and charge you £2000 to put it right

Kitchens are the most expensive room to remodel in the whole house. Good counter tops and cabinets are very expensive and them. you have plumbing and wiring. Then a few thousand for appliances and then you can spend a bundle on the floor

A reputable and professional firm will use qualified time-served carpenters or joiners to fit the actual kitchen rather than self taught fitters who may have no qualifications. They will have their own skilled workforce who are qualified to current industry standard and accredited to meet legislation.

I think it depends on who you get in for the job
kitchen doctors scotland is the company i used and found them to be very reasonable.
Dont get me wrong i had a few ridiculous quotes off some other companies.
you just have to make sure you source the right one

I know - I think I am in the wrong job. Is there a kitchen fitters college so I can re-train?

Time was when the manual worker was the bottom of the food chain.
Today the paper movers are in that position.
Supply and demand, lack of skills, overseas production, have contributed to this. It's life.

maybe they want huge profit on it and dont care with the custumers. Or they are professional fitter that takes care of their quality work rather than the custumers.
