Re-facing with new doors may be the way for you to go . Then

you have more to spend on appliances .

display ones which have usually only been up for 6 - 8 weeks at a time.  
Also buy bits sepratly like a sink/basin will cost you usual price shop on  
ebay where you will get a better quiality one cheaper. Check sizing  
although most fitters will sort this out & sinks are usually the same  
size. You need to be vigilant & make sure before starting to look at this  
kitchen you know excatly what you need, as regards to storage a tall  
cupboard for a hoover or mop etc. It is also worth asking a comp0any to  
come by & give you a quote as they will print you out possible designs you  
can then use this for you own ideas & sizing. It is worth asking these  
people into ur hom,e they are a pain & want you to buy but just say NO or  
when they arrive make it clear you have to go out in 2 hours time so they  
have to leave!!  
 
You WILL find a kitchen at ur price range as my mum, has just done it, the  
best thing is to ask around & do not worry about inviting people to look &  
give you quotes or saying NO to them.  
 
Good luck

I purchased the Maple Modern design but went for different cupboard  
Viewed 9404 times
handles & a granite effect top. I have a large kitchen which is 4m by 4m  
square. I had the kitchen running down 2 of the walls. To save more  
money I ripped out the existing kitchen myself & got someone else to fit  
it instead of B&Q (they can take out the existing kitchen & dispose of it  
as well as fitting the new one if you pay them for it but this costs a lot  
more).  
 
Or what you could do is just change the draws & the cupboard doors, sink &  
unit tops.

Another way would be to get offers from kitchen installers. Just tell  
them your budget and make them give you an offer.
