We are a professional installation company and have been so for over 20
years. The prices being talked about here do seem excessive. If you like,
we
can look at your requirements and give you a quote. If you wish, You can
supply the materials and if you dont want to use our bespoke cabinet and
panels for node 0, then we can also quote you for 19 inch products.
