“Excellent quality cabinets and very helpful staff made planning much less daunting and our kitchen plans possible!”

“The kitchen overall is lovely, a few set backs along the way such as missing parts of the order, wrong colour doors, these took a while to rectify and I felt at times the customer service was poor and the support ticket system not the best! Wouldn’t put me off and will certainly recommend to others as they overall kitchen is good value for money.”

“DIY kitchens have a great variety of styles, colours and sizes, we would have struggled getting some of the sizes from other kitchen suppliers. The pricing is really competitive for the quality of the cupboards and fittings and they come assembled which is a bonus. The customer service was excellent, the few issues we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently and they were helpful and friendly. The online ordering system was simple and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.”

“We ordered a Carrera White kitchen from DIY-Kitchens. The selection of units is great, and designing it was a breeze. Quality of units, doors and hardware is great - it's been almost two years since we installed it and it still looks like new. More than anything we were happy with the service and support, especially the after sale service - everything arrived as ordered and on time. Anything we needed afterwards (touch-up paints, little screws etc.) was sent promptly and with no charge. Bottom line - a great kitchen at an excellent price with great service. Highly recommended.”

“Totally delighted with every aspect of ordering and the after sales support has been excellent. When we have phoned for help, with some minor issues, the after sales team have been both very efficient and knowledgeable at helping us out. This company puts its customer support at the heart of what it does. We have been really pleased with the quality of the product and the value for money. We would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending this company. The Haine Family, Jersey”

“Excellent business model. Bespoke production to our design cutting out the high street middle quality middle men. Can all be done online but we visited their kitchen heaven showroom for extra guidance. Ended up with a high end top quality kitchen at a lower cost. Love it.”

“Great experience from start to finish, the online kitchen planner was easy to use and the visualisation tool made a big difference and enabled us to make best use of space. We traveled to the showroom, the staff were super helpful with no pressure, the range of kitchens on display defiantly made the 3 hour trip worthwhile. The quality and finish is exceptional considering the cost when compared with other manufacturers. The ordering process was easy using the portal and order tracking was a breeze, we opted for two man delivery as the units are quite large and heavy, the worktops were incredibly heavy. My order has some very minor issues which were handled superbly by the support staff. I would strongly recommend this company.”

“We have ordered four kitchens from DIY and all are excellent. The first installed five years ago still looks perfect. Planning and ordering is easy and the delivery was on time and trouble free.”

“Absolutely in love with our new kitchen. The quality of everything is of such a high standard. Our kitchen fitter was really impressed with everything and said they are not comparable to others.... The staff were great with the ordering process also and recommended some changes to our plans which we took on board! The online planning website was great, so easy to use and a fantastic design tool. Also, the showroom is fantastic - well worth a visit. A big thank you to the lovely delivery guys too :) Thank you DIY kitchens.”

“I have used DIY kitchens twice, including reusing 4 year old units in a new pattern. The units are of excellent quality, very solidly built. The drawers and hinges are still in as new condition after 4 years. I have compared my units to much more expensive ones and in terms of quality, I can’t see any difference. I have no hesitation in recommending DIY kitchens.”

“We have mixed views on our recent purchase. DIY kitchens was recommended to us by a friend, and we found that the customer service was excellent. The price of the kitchen in comparison to other kitchen companies was also very pleasing. However, I would strongly recommend paying extra for the delivery service as ours turned up on a sat night when all the builders had left, so it was left on the roadside for me and my husband to lift in, and they are heavy units. You also don’t get any warning when out of stock items are turning up. I got a phone call to say they were outside wanting to deliver my freezer, but yet I was 150miles away. We also wouldn’t recommend the painted cupboards as they do chip easily. So on the plus side, they are a good price with good customer service, but on the downside, the deliveries were terrible and the overall quality is not the best.”

“Really disappointed to be writing a poor review of DIY Kitchens as the quality of my units and initial delivery was all very good. The poor review relates to the quality of their post-sales service. Upon delivery we had a damaged unit (part of the mechanism had broken loose from the carcass during transit). Initial response was very positive, even returning a response on a bank holiday Monday. After a bit of to and fro they agreed to replace the unit and send a replacement. They intially indicated that this would be with me either Monday 6th May or Tuesday 7th May. My wife took the Monday off work and me the Tuesday so we has it covered. At the end of Tuesday nothing had arrived. I contacted their support on Tuesday evening and got no response on their support system so phoned end of Wednesday, to be told "not really sure what happened as to why it wasn't delivered". Thursday I was told they would have to reschedule it for Monday 13th May. Once again my wife took the Monday off work, me the Tuesday. Given their failure to deliver the previous week I took it upon myself to call them on the Monday to confirm delivery, which I was told it would be either late Monday (after 5pm) or early Tuesday. I was sent the driver's mobile number so I could contact him. I was actually starting to delieve they might have sorted it out! I messaged the driver Monday night and then again Tuesday morning to request a broad delivery time. The driver called me to let me know that we didn't have anything down for delivery to me! I called the office on Tuesday morning, to be told that it wasn't loaded on to the van on Monday (so it was very clear that when I called to check on Monday that nobody actually checked anything at all - what's the point?). It is apparently coming out to me Wednesday (tomorrow). Although it wouldn't be a massive surprise if it didn't turn up. Terrible, post-sales service. I would not recommend DIY Kitchens purely as a result of this experience. As an aside. It seems to take 2-3 days to get a response to any post-sales online tickets, the phone line rings for a minimum of 10 minutes every time I call. On one occassion having waited for 13 minutes the line announced that I would have to try again later and then dropped the line. Oh and on the question of compensating me I was told that I had to put that question in an email to them. After my wife and I have wasted 4 days taking time off work, they couldn't work out what I wanted compensation for. Laughable! Take this an official request for compensation! UPDATE Wednesday 22 May - Having been told my unit would be delivered on a "special service" on Wednesday I took another day off work. I waited until 1:15pm before calling to confirm it was definately coming out today and to learn whether the unit had left the factory. Got told they would check and call me back. I waited until 2:45pm without a call. I called back, spoke to another member of staff, to be given the number of the driver who was delivering my item. I called the number to discover that driver didn't have my item at all. I called DIY Kitchens back to be told that number was incorrect. I got told that here was confusion because my unit was on a "special service" because of the problems I had been experiencing. I finally got notification at 5:30pm that my unit was on it's way and would be delivered Wednesday evening. As I have come to expect, no delivery was made Wednesday evening.......Another failed delivery and day of misinformation! Thanks DIY Kitchens for the "Special Service" although at first sight it is actually the same as your standard service whereby you tell me it's coming and then it doesn't. UPDATED : 11th July 2019 As a result of the poor service I was offered compensation by the customer service manager in her phone call. I messaged DIY Kitchens on 23rd June to remind them that they had still not got in contact with my offer of compensation. I heard nothing from them in the two weeeks that followed. I messaged again today (11th July 2019) let's wait and see if they responsd at all. Such poor after sales service. Once they have your money, they frankly don't care!”

“I cannot stress enough how bad of an experience we have had with DIY Kitchens. Paid 4k for a kitchen that arrived 1 week late, damaged and with significant parts missing. Got told it would arrive either Wednesday or Thursday of that week - great. Didn't show up until Saturday. No explanations, no apologies... 4 weeks on from the original delivery date I am still having to chase missing units/doors/drawer fronts. They have been sending me missing/damaged items in dribs and drabs, some of which have been damaged themselves. They have clearly had QC issues as it arrived with lots of chipped paintwork/marks over the painted finishes. Edging strips on the edges of some panels have not been glued on properly, some have the glue they use for the edging strips smeared over the panels that you can't remove. Their customer service is shocking. Their support ticket system is so slow it's not use-able. You can't get through to them on the phone most of the time; when you do, you get told to write a support ticket... There are some serious failings with their internal communication systems. Ultimately the end product is one very unhappy customer. Useless company. Bought British to support the local economy and this is what I get. They have 4k of my money and I have an incomplete kitchen 4 weeks after it should have arrived, and a whole load of stress to boot. I have wasted days (literally) trying to sort this mess out. I have formally complained and after over 7 days It took me to ring them to get a response which was, you can have a £50 refund. Not acceptable. Parents recently bought a kitchen from Wickes which arrived on time, everything there, not a thing wrong. Seriously, go somewhere else, it's not worth the hassle.”

“First of all my kitchen was a week late after technical problems their end, they couldn't give me a definite delivery day, rung 3 times all 3 times saying different things, the day it was due to be delivered I got an email saying there was 3 missing doors & I would have to wait another 5-7 working days for them, as it turns out there were 4 missing doors. There is damage to the units & plinths, I am still waiting for someone to get back to me regarding these issues!!! After care customer service is appalling,”

“Appauling (non existent) customer service. Made no effort to rectify issues they created by failing to deliver half of a kitchen ordered (and paid for) 7 weeks in advance. Poor communication at every stage once you've handed over your money. I wouldn't use this company again even if their kitchens were free!.”

“Every aspect of the process of getting out own-designed kitchen has been easy and even delightful. The range of styles on the website was much more than adequate for our needs. We visitied the showroom and had some very helpful, productive conversations with their advisers. There was no pushiness or pressure on the part of the sales staff, e.g. to buy appliances or other items from them. Ordering online was easy and we even got a call to check unusual aspects of our order to make sure we hadn't made a mistake. The kitchen units arrived on time and the quality is flawless, with really well engineered fittings, accurately made (fully assembled, not flat pack) units, and a perfect, hardwearing paint finish on the style we chose. It turns out we did over-order some glass shelves, and arranging a return and refund was simple with absolutely no quibbles from DIY kitchens. On the whole, I suppose you could buy a nice kitchen from another source, but we chose DIY kitchens for an overall better price for like for like items, than other well known suppliers. The bonus which we weren't expecting has been the quality of person-to-person service, the absence of any sales pressure, and in the end, the total satisfaction with the product.”
