I second this. I have fitted 2 Ikea kitchens in my previous house in Aus.
It's incredibly easy to design up and I have been told by a kitchen carpenter all the cabinets and fittings come from the same German co that most higher-end kitchen co's use. I designed it all up on my own and then got a carpenter to fit it for me. You can always add different handles to personalise it a bit but their range is good and if you have/get some decent styling advice, it can be a doddle to do.

You can fit an Ikea kitchen for half of the cost specialist co's charge.
This might be of no interest to you though.

I have a friend who recently got a quote from a swanky kitchen co. in Dublin to pull out, design and fit a kitchen for his small apartment kitchen which measures about 8' x 4. The quoted him 5K.

Out of interest, how much did the carpenter charge you for fitting? Going to get an IKEA kitchen next year.

It was in Aus about 10 years ago so honestly, and sorry, but I can't really remember as he was also doing other work for me at the time. But I would imagine you'd probably get a decent person to do it for a grand or a bit more here. Depending on the size.

Seems quite steep for flatpack! I'd nearly put all the cabinets together myself and get the carpenter to hang them / fit worktops etc.

I did that too. But I wouldn't expect to get it much less than a grand here for the amount of work involved. To be honest I really wouldn't know the equivalent cost here, just going off similar-ish DIY jobs I have had completed here since returning.

What about plastering where the old units are removed? We removed a couple and the plaster behind needed touching up.

We're getting an IKEA kitchen. I'm thinking of self-installing. Is this a good idea? No hanging units, all start at floor level. Will be some floating shelves. Plan to employ someone to do the electrics, tiling and plastering if required.

Plastering isn't that hard to do yourself.
I've re-plastered a whole dining room wall, tilled a kitchen and bathroom and remodelled an old fireplace, brick by brick and then plastered that too. If you have a decent DIY head on you/normal cop on and get the right tools/go about it the right way, it's not that hard. It's good fun too and very satisfying at the end.

There are loads of vids and such online.

Cool. Now to convince my wife.

I did a little tiling when we replaced our electric shower with a mixer. This was enjoyable. I also tiled a section of the kitchen floor which was bare for some reason. Gotta say I didn't enjoy tiling the floor.

Price it for about 35e a unit. A hob cut out and sink cut out, extractor are all priced as a unit. So if you look at your plan, and it shows ten actual units, then e350 (plus hob, sink, extractor,maybe int. Dishwasher) another e140.

Would that include assembly of the units as well?

Hi, no that would be for an assembled kitchen.(also if you are getting a Mason joint where worktops join-basically a male to female routered connection, its about e50-e70 per joint).
