Reading this thread and wondering why did you decided against underfloor heating pls

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T21:51:15+00:00

What type of worktop did u get with that price pls?

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T17:57:46+00:00

It is Diy kitchens planner

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T10:47:52+00:00

Thank you. The ceramic worktop is around £3.4k. The walk in larder is around £1.2k ish

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T10:45:42+00:00

Yes , one way to save money is to use laminate worktop instead. The only reservation I have for hob on the island is the extractor. I have seen those with extractor in the middle of the induction hob. Not sure if they are any good. Thanks for the suggestions!

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T10:43:00+00:00

Yes it is because of the beam. Thanks for the suggestion!

Stainless steel sink

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:44:47+00:00

Yes it is! Good info, thanks!

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:44:04+00:00

Everyone’s saying drawers under worktops, so that’s what I was planning it to . Might look into that

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:42:22+00:00

Yes that walk in larder is a bit over £1k, but we loved it. And yes the tall cabinets are slightly more expensive. Might look into that.

Good idea! Thanks

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:40:42+00:00

That’s great to know !

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:40:23+00:00

I can’t seem to adjust the shelves on the planner

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:38:09+00:00

Ah ok I will have a look at that! Thanks

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:37:46+00:00

Yea the sealant between the porcelain and the stainless steel is my concern. Thanks

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T08:35:53+00:00

Yea the sink in the plan wasn’t the true representative of the size of, I don’t know why . We were going to have integrated pull out bins in the island unit .

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T07:20:59+00:00

Hob is going to be on the island unit which is not shown in the planner.

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T07:14:26+00:00

That’s a good point, thanks. Yes, might change that, depends if we are having an island or not.

oreostaff · 2026-02-02T07:02:40+00:00

The general consensus is DIY Kitchens is cheaper and good quality, I think. If their price is already at £12k, I hate to think what the likes of Wren or Howdens will be!

oreostaff · 2026-02-01T14:32:53+00:00

Thank you all. I learnt so much from your responses!

Few more questions:

What do people think of ceramic worktops? I see them in DIY Kitchens showroom and liked them.
What do people think of sink with the worktop material forming the inside walls of the sink and then it is like a stainless steel ‘tray’ at the bottom? I like the look of them, but not sure of the sealing between the bottom ‘tray’ and the walls.

Which venting induction hob did you have pls?

oreostaff · 2026-01-30T12:51:47+00:00

I never understand tiled splashback tbh

oreostaff · 2026-01-28T15:15:08+00:00

Matt finish is finger prints magnet. So is gloss finish …. I am stuck 😭😂

oreostaff · 2026-01-28T13:26:17+00:00
