One of the burners stopped working and had to be repaired through warranty-very easy process with a quick turnaround.
They sub the work out to local fitters.They managed to drill through a wall through into my living room!
Oh and lastly,the pipe work completed whilst fitting the gas hob left a very small leak(not noticeable by myself) that was picked up by a reader whilst doing unrelated work.
But other than that,fantastic experience...

General Consensus always says NEVER use Ikea Fitters.

And source your own electrical appliances as they are cheaper and you can source better quality and higher rated items

As an alternative try sourcing carcasses from Frontline carcasses in Nottingham and doors from wherever you want.

I did this with doors from second nature and fitted out a large kitchen with range cooker and all appliances with granite worktops for about £12 all in; including fitting.

Just purchased a kitchen from wicks will be putting it in on Monday, only brought a cheap one as it's a temporary thing but will let you know what it's like with photos if I get a chance.

Did you really mean to write £12?

I wonder how that would compare price-wise with buying both from http://www.diy-kitchens.com/kitchens/
