OK, need a new Kitchen. I would like a Pogen Pohl look and feel but without the cost, so does anyone have any pointers or recommendations? I live in Hampshire/Wiltshire area if anyone can recommend a local firm rather than a big chain that would be great. Budget is about £25k including new cooking appliances so I would hope to be able to get something half decent.

Searle and Taylor - great guys and some amazing kitchen stuff. Darren or Jeff are the main guys but last time I saw them they were expanding rapidly!

in my persnol opinion after fitting hundreds of difrent kitches an bedroom furniture from cheap budget jobs to solid wod all over the world .

there all pretty much basicly the same units , just spend good money on draw runners ,doors,cornice,pelmet,worktop and aplinces etc and some good lighting

you can get any kitchen to give that expensive feel and look for half that budget

look into multiwood thats where i get all my supplies from

used to work for these guys untill went self enployed and top qaulity gear but it aint cheap http://www.brookmans.co.uk/

Just completed mine for the rather good price of £6,500 biggrin

I chose Siemens appliances for design, quality and feel, but MFI units because despite what the kitchen boffs tell you, a chipboard box is a chipboard box. However I did upgrade the standard units with Blum soft-close drawers and hinges - makes a massive difference.

Solid wood worktops meant that I could cut them myself, have curves etc, and a local glass place supplied very trendy glass splashbacks from my templates. Me happy smile

thats what am talking about i have fitted every diffrent kind possible and you can tell the difrence sometimes with diffrent suppliers etc but to be honest just makes it a little harder for you to work with . i persnoly think wicks units are just the same as every other manufacturer .

as for apliances i would have CDA there back up service is exlent and if therea anything wrong there with u within 3hrs

Try Next Kitchens http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/homeware/kitchen/1?...

They seem to be excellent and the service is fantastic. All done over the net or by phone so no middle man.
