Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi,I'm driving down to Brico Depot tomorrow and getting my new kitchen. I have their catalogue and have been able to plan what I will need based on the dimensions in the catalogue.Unfortunately, the length dimension of the 'angle bas' unit is not given. Would someone be able to measure theirs and tell me what it is?Thank you to the kind person with a measuring tape!Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 does anyone know where to get a brico depot catalogue from (apart from the obvious!) - EG i cant see anywhere on-line from where it can be ordered, or am i missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi - I was in Brico Depot today and had a look at the base corner unit for you. Lots of ranges on display. Corner base units all seem to be 1 metre long. I guess it's too late now. Do you need any other info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last big catalogue (450 pages plus) has printed at the bottom of the front cover page:'Avril 2006. Prix valables du lundi 27 mars au mercredi 26 avril pour votre depot d'Alençon'.However, this could just be the cover. The insides may be standard. The brochure gives no contact info other than the local store. So I think that's your answer.SorryPhil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 thanks - its seriously bizarre isnt it ! that you cant order one on-line - and i am not being ultra british about this (well perhaps i am) but what's the point of having a web site!A friend of mine in dordogne says he gets a catalogue through his door via postman - wish our postman would do that!We are trying to find out if castorama or brico depot would be cheapest for sky-light windows if anyone knows by way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Agreed - the website's a waste of space. Some Brico Depot roof window prices, DG, frame only, 74 by 98cm:Roto 135€ in woodVelux centre hinge standard 182€, comfort (special thermal glass) 224€Velux top hinge standard 309€They do the fitting kits (surrounds) for about 35-60 euros depending on make and style.

Cassis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If there are any specific sizes you need prices for comparison at Brico Depot let me know - I'm picking up a new catalogue today. I would mail it but it weighs a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we have a lovely peugeout (spelt something like that!) 106 - she is my baby but sadly not up to carrying large items - although i have been surprised at what we have managed to stuff/tie/balance in the back since we have been here!

Cassis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 BD do van rental by the hour. At least they do here. I'm just going to see what sizes they list in the brochure. Back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalpa Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you book the BD van, try and be the first to use it in the morning even if that does mean you have to be there at 7am. Otherwise you run the risk of everyone running late and you having to hang around for hours. Also, BD closes for lunch so if you're due to pick the van up at 11am, say, and the van is running late, then you can't pick it up till 2pm.Nice thing is, they don't charge for the 2 hours over the lunch break. We hired the van about 6 years ago (so okay, the system / process might've changed) and picked it up at 10am (late) and got it back to them just after 2pm. We were only charged for 2 hours because of course, one can't possibly be charged rental over the lunch period.[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 thanks both !looks like brico depot it is ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thank you so much for that! Brico Depot is quite a ways away for me and the dimensions aren't in the catalogue. One metre will make a perfect fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I find this item very interesting, my question is however, does anyone know of a depot around the St. Junien/Rochefoucauld/St.Mathieu area of the Haute Vienne? We have been looking and there appears to be one at Limoges, but we have had nightmares trying to get around Limoges - looking for the sheds as we call them.Thanks Keni & Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The latest (May) catalogue doesn't show one at Limoges or anywhere in dept 87. Bit of a black hole. Poitiers, Perigueux and Chateauroux are listed, blimmin' long round trip for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Their website doesn't show any in that region.http://www.bricodepot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Department71 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Follow on from the questions, what is the quality of the units like, I assume they are on a par with MFI units. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I bought our kitchen from LaPeyre or however it is spelt and they are excellent - solidly made carcasses and feet, solid oak doors. The ones in Brico D depend on the range - the carcasses are all about the same, in decent laminate board, and the doors and plinths etc. seem to depend on the range. Anyone actually fitted one from Brico D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
