New Kitchen - your experience needed

Recommended Posts

Hi,


I am looking to buy a new kitchen with the choice being Howdens or John Lewis.


Is a John Lewis kitchen worth the additional expense? I've also heard that you can order a JL kitchen direct from their supplier. Has anyone done that?


I would be grateful if you could share your experience of a new kitchen with me.


Many thanks.

We went to John Lewis' for a quote - it was reasonable at the top end of what we wanted to pay, good appliances and wide choice, plus they were very good at looking at the different options for the budget we had. But saying that after getting a few quotes in, we went to Bells on Lordship Lane, very cost comparable, great service and our kitchen looks brilliant.

Howdens don't sell to individuals but are trade only so you need to ask the person fitting your kitchen to buy it from there for you.


You can of course go to their showroom and have a look at the kitchens but you need to be a business to buy from there.

We had a Mereway kitchen fitted last year (they are the manufacturer behind JL's kitchens) and are very pleased - whilst we didn't actually get a quote from JL I believe it was quite a bit cheaper that way. Bells stock Mereway so you can get it from there - we got our worktop from there and really pleased with it.

    • what type of car was it, if they are in demand, might be helpful info.
    • Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!
    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
