Sorry i cant get used to this new answer bank. I am thinking of getting a new fitted kitchen and have seen some things i like in B&Q. Has anyone had any experience with them fitting kitchens - good or bad?? Thanks

I have heard that Wickes are the best for fitting kitchens (I looked up some Kitchen Reviews on Google) although we usually use Magnet. They can be a pain though, doors don't arrive, etc.

don't touch their installation service with a barge pole. We wasted literally thousands on shoddy workmanship and have had it reinstalled 3 times by them now and ended up getting compensation for the upset. NO NO NO

Hi Ali I have used B&Q units quite a lot and rate them very highly for quality and most of all there cost.
The biggest criteria to a good end product is the fitting if you have fitters that are working to a tight schedule to make their organization more money/profits your final result suffers so many times I see snags that are not sorted and are left for the next trade to try to get round.
Some times the customer has to step in and say I dont want it that way and stop the job until it has been ironed out, point is to have some clause before starting HTH TEZ

we had a B&Q kitchen , but used a private fitter and sparkie , the kitchen is fine ,
had to take some bits back for a refund as the planner over ordered , we would
buy another one from them.

NEVER USE HOMEBASE - UNITS AND FITTER FINE - PLANNING/DELIVERY LEFT TOO MUCH TO BE DESIRED-
PLANNER USELESS

Thanks for all your comments, i will take them into consideration.

My other half is a joiner/builder and he says that B+Q kitchens are the best that he has ever fitted. Obviously we have no experience of their installation so just going on the quality of them

He says the worst, by far, are IKEA!
