We have some kitchen issues. Some of the cabinets are a bit knacked as is the worktop. Am i better replacinf the lot or just the troublesome ones and getting matching doors all round? This house isnt a keeper for us we may end up renting it out next year or the year after (moving away for work) anyone help??

Just replace the lot with a cheap flat pack jobbie. Gower are excellent for the money, an average kitchen including appliances works out around 12-1300. Fitted right, they look like they cost 4 times the price.

I definately wouldn't faff about trying to get the knackered ones out then match up the doors. It's a false economy and will end up costing exactly the same.
I can mail you some pics of a cheap one I fitted a few months ago for an old couple. Their daughter just paid £14k for one similar. I was finishing off some bits when she called to see it, first thing she said was "how can you afford all this mum?"

If the carcasses are sound, then new doors (on the basis that they are standard size units) and new worktops would obviously be the easiest and cheapest solution. I wouldn't bother changing just [i]some[/i] of the carcasses, either none or the lot imo. Too much hassle and problems matching like for like I reckon.

EDIT : You [i]might[/i] have a problem with draw fronts.

TBH, I reckon what FunkyMonkey says is sound, unless you really want to keep the cost to a minimum for renting purposes.
