Neither. Get Ikea instead. The build quality is excellent, the design and engineering of things like hinges and drawer runners is brilliant, there are countless options for everything and it's cheaper. Loads of aftermarket door companies too, you can just buy the carcasses and get different doors (we just went with Noremax and were able to order completely custom sizes so we have 2.7m floor-to-ceiling doors for a bespoke look). I've built many kitchens and unless you have 100k for Poliform then Ikea is your best bet.

This. Some builders will huff and puff about Ikea but this is usually because Ikea are full depth whilst others have a 50cm or so gap behind for pipes/electric (which may mean more rerouting of utilities). Also check workshopexpress for the worktop itself.

My pals had a disaster with Wren - ended up having to take them to court. Measurements wrong (or measurements right and cutting wrong - can't remember which). Replacement items took months to prepare. No contractors available when replacement items arrived resulting in another month wait. Things done in the wrong order (e.g. units and oven installed before wiring work behind units completed). Fitting contractors wouldn't come back to uninstall the units as they'd done their job. Electrician contractors refusing the remove the oven (not my job guv). Wren saying contractors were at fault when they were supposed to be project managing. And so on...... They were without a kitchen for 9 months and now they hate it, partly as it isn't up to the standard they'd expected, and partly as it reminds them of the stress they endured.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
