Greater Manchester DIYer saved £1000s updating his kitchen with B&Q and eBay bargains
A 50-year-old DIY enthusiast has saved himself thousands of pounds by foregoing traders and renovating his dated kitchen all by himself. Jonathan Barnes, from Rochdale, wanted to modernise his kitchen on a budget, and managed to transform the lot for less than £3,000.
“I knew was that I didn’t have the funds available to hire a professional, and I am aware that using any fitting service provided by the retailer would add £1000s on top of the initial kitchen price. So instead of getting it professionally installed, I decided to dot myself.” “All of the units, including the fixtures and fittings, cost £1260. I got three copper splash walls for £355, and a Franke Orion sink for £217. My brass and black tap was £116, and my pull out corner rack system was £167. Finally I got a pull out bin set for £75, then I went to other stores for the rest of my supplies.
He went on to assemble all of the new base units ensuring they all lined up against the walls in their respective order, were all level and an equal distance from the wall. This was the only part of the build where Jonathan decided to rope in a pro, explaining: “As a special guide template is required for this task and combined with the fact that I did not possess the confidence to undertake this myself as the prospect of making an error could work out rather costly, I decided to hire a professional joiner to fit them, this also included cutting out the holes for the sink and hob, the cost of this service was £150.
