Howdens kitchens - roughly how much are they to trade?
Discussion
We're in the process of buying a new house that needs a bit of tlc, one of the first projects is to rip out the existing kitchen, knock through into the current dinging room and make a 16' by 11' kitchen. We like the look of one of the designs on Howdens website but theres no prices anywhere. Can anyone give me a rough cost for an average styled kitchen - high and low level units, sink, worktop etc. We'll obviously aim to use a builder who has access to Howdens trade prices but want a 'very' approximate cost for now to help our rough budgeting.
The design we like is this one;

Along with this worktop;

Tap, floor, lighting, oven and other appliances are already budgeted for. Just very hard to work out approximate costs at present with no available prices from them.

LOL that's the one we were looking at 
diy-kitchens do a range the same style and finish but I don't think they had it in the grey. We settled on a beige in the end.
Price wise, Wickes do it in cream or white, we priced up against that and for the same general layout (as close as we could get anyway) it worked out 40% cheaper from Howdens. As it's a builders merchants though I'm told that the trade discount depends on who it's too, my uncle used them daily and got considerable discounts, so it may depend on who you get in to do the job!
I never knew Wickes did the same range - handy that as I can at least get it properly measured up and priced from them in the first instance. How much did yours cost in the end? Was it a similar size to the one I'm looking to do?diy-kitchens do a range the same style and finish but I don't think they had it in the grey. We settled on a beige in the end.

Nigel,
That is an extremely kind offer (including your post on my other thread) - thankyou. Currently we are waiting for a mortgage survey to be done before we can really move too much further. We're hoping to go back on Monday anyway in order to accurately measure up the current kitchen/dining room for what will become the one room, we'll ensure we measure where windows, doors, boiler etc currently are and let you know. Out of interest would that price/design be for the Howdens units we like? It's very hard to design a kitchen to fit when you can't imagine what can go where or what should work.
Thanks also for the heads up on the work surface - we may in that case try and go for something a little cheaper in that respect.
As for the extension plans - any tips on where/how to get these drawn up? We were going to ask the advice of whatever builder we use. Can you tell we've never done this before?
Many Thanks
Tony
