Cabinet Makers, Joiners & Kitchen Builders

[MattyB]

I am looking to get a cabinet underneath my staircase, I have had a few quotes and so far the prices are nearly double What I thought I'd pay

What I want is:

Right hand side - Wine Rack approx. 1290mm wide
Left hand side - small Broom closet approx. 450mm wide, next to that 3 doors covering 3 drawers to store pots n pans etc...
Anyone her in that industry?

You basically put in what you want and where you live. You get a lot of dodgy operators, but they come to you.

Having said that, i'd say there will be a kennel brother or sister that will be able to help you out.

I'm hoping so, I spoke to a friend of a friend, he laughed when I said I have a few quotes for X amount, then when he sent the quote he's like yeah we can do it at the same price.

FFS I told him it was way more than I wanted to spend but he acted like he was doing me a favour

If you got a quote under 3k you are doing well.

Send me the info, I will figure it out for you just so you know what it's worth,
Pm me and I will send you my work email address, I do all the design and quoting for my company I am not interested in doing the work, but am happy to let you know a fair and reasonable price, good bad or otherwise, at the end of the day, things cost what they cost,
I am happy to also show you how I achieve the price, you might appreciate the cost a little better if you can see how it's worked out,
The joinery industry like any in the building industry is very cut throat, you would be surprised what little profit joiners are actually making this day and age.
