Hi,
I'm installing a new kitchen and need a quote for someone to cut and fit a wooden worktop.

Will depend on what is involved.
Freestanding cooker or built in hob?
Sinks.....one or two?
Straight piece or around a corner?

About 5yrs i paid £400 for a good quality top fitting. It was L-shaped approx 3m length and a 2m length. Cut outs for hob and two sinks and taps

Just to be sure. That is £400 for the tops AND the fitting. Isn't it?

Hi,
i have three 3 metre lengths, two of which need cutting down to 2 metres. So worktop will run down three sides of the room.
I then need cutouts in the 3 metre length for sink and two small ones for pipework. In one of the two metre lengths i need a cutout for a hob.

its not too hard to do yourself,if youve got the tools,if they involve any mitres thats harder:D

The best way to joint the work surfaces is to use a router and purpose made jig. Not something i would recommend someone attempted for themselves.
Typical that this is the only equipment we don't have at the minute :rolleyes:

Maybe Coggy could be of assistance?

My boyfrined and i are fitting most of the kitchen just don't feel confident to cut worktops ourselves due to the fact that they are expensive and i have nightmares of making a very expensive mistake!!
We were planning on joining the worktops with adhesive.
