We bought our kitchen from IKEA and it's fantastic. It was recommended by a builder friend, they are great value for money and you can download a kitchen planner that lets you see in 3D what your kitchen will look like.

or you could use it for any kitchen manufacturers

I got mine from MFI, they were very helpful, I took all the measurements in and picked what style kitchen and they designed it there and then
I haggled with them over the price and in the end saved �600
I fitted mine myself though cos they wanted �1500 for doing it
It took me about ten times longer than they would have done but it was worth it

I've heard bad stories about Ikea myself and one kitchen fitter I know flatly refuses to install them as some of the base units don't have a service gap at the back.Which means a lot of messing about cutting holes everywhere for pipes etc.
I bought mine from Wickes and fitted it myself. Like Elvis68 it took me ages but was well worth it.

my sister had an MFI fitted kitchen and it's blody fantastic, only took 18 months to fit....
things from supplying the wrong cupboard doors(wich happened twice), supplying the wrong dinning table, fitting the fridge/freezer door on backwards and a few other things meant the one week job took a lot a lot longer, invovled lots of stress and phone calls to all kinds of advisory services
i would suggest you shop around and ask to view fittted kitchens in peoples houses, there you can ask the relevant questions about the kitchen and it's fitters.
