Recommendation for a kitchen supplier

gebbel

Our kitchen is in bits and we'd like to get a new one. Can anyone recommend a supplier in Co. Louth. We would prefer to give the business to someone as local as possible. We are in the Drogheda area. Thanks

while not drogheda .. I used Kube in Balbriggan earlier this year and couldn't fault them .. from design to installation they got it spot on. They were even more competitive on the appliances (Siemens) when I went shopping around.

They are not cheap mind you .. but well worth it

OK I've heard they charge a lot. We wouldn't have that kind of budget. Maybe 10 grand with new appliances. Maybe we need to save more? It's not a big kitchen and there'd be no island.

Try Lynn kitchens in monasterboice , family business and highly reccomended.

It's been a few years since I used them, but I got great service from Classic Doors and Floors, based in the Boyne Business Centre near Greenhills.

We got ours from Tierney Kitchens in balbriggan and love it. Great showroom.

Plus one for Lynns in Monasterboice. They've done our kitchen, utility room and wardrobes. Can't fault the quality of their work - it's excellent and two very decent lads!

Another vote for Lynns, they did our kitchen 4 years ago. Would definitely use them again.

Tracey Kitchens in Duleek Street did work for us a few years ago. Very happy with the work and price. They were busy at the time and upfront about when they would be available to do the work. Said 4 weeks and were true to their word.

I had a kitchen done by Jason Boyle Kitchens & Wardrobes about 2 years ago. He did a great job, and was very reasonable on price. He has however done a disappearing act on me since then (trying to get other work done in the house) so I am not sure how good he'd be in terms of customer service or after-the-fact issues (although in fairness, my kitchen hasn't had any issues at all, so far).

So I have contacted Pat Tracey Kitchens about a sitting room unit I want done, and although I haven't actually got the unit yet, so far everything has been done very professionally. Design, dealing with my awkward and difficult requests, spacing out the unit for lots of silly things (speakers on the filler pieces, specific-sized shelving to fit a particular sub-woofer, etc.) and they've been brilliant thus far (hopefully I'm still saying the same in a week or two after it's been fitted!).

We got our kitchen from Hoeys DIY near Castlebellingham. They recommended a carpenter who was pleasure to work with. We got really nice solid counter-tops for a fraction of the price quoted by many online specialist stores. I don't know what's the general opinion about Hoeys, but they get our recommendation (based on exactly 1 instance).

Hoeys are good and if you give them a cutting list they'll do it for you, but I find that in my experience most carpenters and cabinet makers prefer to do their own cutting list so you've to go through them anyway.

I'm gonna pay about 2k for a unit that I could get the cutting list made up for, for about 700 off Hoeys. But found it tricky to get someone to assemble something I bought myself.

If that was the situation you had (were you made the citing list yourself and someone else assembled it) could you pass their name and number on to me? 😊

Be handy to know going forward

I see what you mean, no, I didn't have a cutting list. We went to Hoeys to explore what they have, they recommended a carpenter, who came and did all the measuring and worked out everything.

We had done some research, and had found IKEA the cheapest - around 5k for everything. But with their sizes, we had figure out a lot of fillers and of course I wasn't up for DIYing an entire kitchen, so carpenter quotes we got added another 2k to the cost. Hoeys + their recommended carpenter war around 5k with everything installed. This was a new kitchen for extension, approximately 6 meters of counter space (cabinets above and below, take away a window and a cooker hood), 1.7m island unit, and around 3 meters floor-ceiling cupboards. Main benefit of going with the carpenter for us was that he was able to tweak sizes to make everything line up properly, and also handy that he did all sorts of other bits and bobs around the house - wine rack, radiator cover, replacing odd door etc.

Also this was 4 years ago, so there's that. Happy to pass on the info if anyone is interested. Just PM.
