Avoid B&Q Kitchens!!!
B&Q Kitchens are the worst company that I have ever had the misfortune to come across!
My parents who are both elderly & unwell, went to B&Q in April 2017 as they thought that they would be a good family friendly & trustworthy company to purchase & install their new kitchen.
How wrong they were, that has resulted in a 2 YEAR LONG NIGHTMARE!
A VERY brief summary of the issues are -
1. Being messed around for 3 months about an installation start date
2. Scheduled deliveries & installers then not turning up on the agreed dates with no one contacting parents to explain that the installation was not going ahead (3 times)
3. Unacceptable standard of workmanship with numerous issues that resulted in at least half of the installation being replaced numerous times (including flooring, kitchen etc)
4. Incorrect finish wrong worktops being installed & then replaced
5. Unacceptable amount of snagging items that did not get addressed
6. None existent aftercare
Despite issuing over 50 + emails to B&Q complaining about the ongoing unacceptable performance, they simply did not sort the issues out
We also issued a full breakdown of the history of events to B&Q CEO's Christian Mazauric & various Kingfisher CEO's (the company who own B&Q) but not one of them acknowledged our complaint or intervened
We then issued a complaint to the Furniture Ombudsman in 2018.
Even though the Ombudsman sided with our compliant that resulted in my parents being awarded £1,800.00, we are still complaining on a weekly basis to the Ombudsman that as of April 2019, we still have not got all of the other issues resolved (free issues replacement components, electrical certificate that is a legal requirement).
Once all of the above has been resolved, we will get a proper kitchen contractor to put the work right!
Avoid B&Q like the plague!!!
