OK So I want to fit a new kitchen. Nothing fancy, just functional.

Room is 1.6mx1.8m approx.

Need:-

Sink/draining board
gas cooker
cupboards
fridge
tiling for walls and floor

is £2k unrealistic for all that bought and fitted?

Yes. I done it for less, and then got a big refund due to the supplier cocking up alot.

Edited.

I lied, it cost over £2k, but with the refund it was close to it. Sorry :S

But I did get expensive tiles and cooker etc.

All fitted by me apart from the worktop, which was done at mates rates.

My brother in law will be doing the fitting, so that'll be a negligible cost.

Tonker, any good links for ex-display stuff? Found the Used Kitchen Co so far, but alot of stuff on there is out of budget.

Me and my dad did mine for £2K 4 years ago. Nothing special, mainly B&Q when they had a sale.

- B&Q kitchen (metal sided/runner drawers)
- sink with drainer
- Ceramic tiled floor (B&Q cheapest)
- Tiled walls
- Silver Baumatic fridge and freezer from local white goods warehouse
- Stainless cooker hood and extractor (from same white goods place)
- Black Cannon Oakley gas cooker from ebay (3 months old)

Still looks in good condition now despite letting the house out to lodgers etc.

The only things I would spend more on now is the floor tiles as a couple have chipped where things have been dropped, and the extractor is annoyingly noisy.
