He came over had a look around gave a quote of what he we roughly wanted. Then got howdens in to do the design, I know he does usually charge even more then this and people say he works to a high standard. We are in a hurry to get the house ready so we can move in, so I stupidly half...

My brothers got a mate that is will come have a look tommorrow. Only problem is we've sort of agreed he could start in a weeks time. So if this next quote is a lot better going to have to back out. Hate ****ing people about, especialy as he's a sort of friend of my mother. Anyway thanks...

Theres cornice and pelmets, but no tileing as far as I know. He quoted with out seeing the kitchen design from the designer as well. I've cleared out the kitchen and had it all rewired so shouldn't be any major problems. (Other then the stupid gas meter being in the way)

I thought it included skimming the ceiling to get rid of artex but that's in another quote and it looked expensive considering the units other then the larders are pre built.

Thanks for the reply, just normal howdens laminate stuff with a square edge. What do you think is the rough price I should be looking for.

Thanks you've been really helpfull. I thought that a damproof above the floorboards was a bad idea. So 14mm seem to have 2-4 mm wear layer, so I want to avoid the thiner top layer.

Hi had a howdens kitchen designed and priced up which came to around £4000 + appliances. The builder has quoted £2100 to fit it and reducing a section of boxing under the stairs, this does not incude any electrics or plumbing . I've already removed the old kitchen so it's all ready to go. Is...

Got some samples, all seem very nice. But what thickness of board would you recomend cost is an issue but want to do it right. The samples vary between 14-21mm and have upto 6 mm of real oak on top. Some also come with a free foam underlay 3mm with damp proof layer is this sufficient as you...

Ill get some engineered samples if we can get a good quality and it's more fool proof then it's probably the best way to go. Thanks for all the help.

Ok, thanks that makes sence now. Do the secret nails go all the way through the floor boards below? as a bit worried about pipe work.

Thanks, for the replys :) So it looks like engineered may be the way to go, I will get some samples and see if we can find some with a nice finish, although my girlfriend is pretty keen on solid oak. With solid oak I don't understand how the expansion works if it's nailed down so maybe if I...

Hi, I'm looking to fit solid oak flooring in my lounge/dining room its about 4m x 7m at max dimensions. The current floor is floorboards which are securly fitted and flat and run width ways, so going at 90 degrees with the oak will be perfect. Is it ok to fit the flooring this time of year...
