“We bought a new kitchen from Leekes last year, after trawling around the usual suspects. We decided to go with Leekes because they were local, appeared to have a good reputation and, importantly, promised us that in return for the premium price we were paying (£20k all in) we would have a simple and stress free experience. Nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, the kitchen manufacturer turned up to deliver the kitchen unannounced one day, 2 weeks before we had agreed with Leekes it would arrive. When the kitchen was re-delivered, there was a lot of damage to doors which meant we needed replacements. A lot of what we ordered was shipped wrong, sink was wrong, under cupboard lights were wrong, each one of these required a call to Leekes to raise the issue and patiently keep asking them to check the part codes on the order as these didn’t match what was sent. It took 4 weeks to get all the right stuff sent through. Inconvenient but not earth shattering. The order included items that were part of the original design that just weren’t required, but Leekes did take these back and refund without too much drama. Where this all really went wrong for me was when the range cooker arrived, the delivery guys had to take the packaging off to get it into the house and broke one of the major control knobs off. I reported it immediately, Leekes advised us not to install it as it might affect our ability to return it, and then spent 3 weeks trying to arrange a repair or replacement until I finally threatened them with legal action to get a refund for the item. The manufacturer was aware and was willing apparently just to replace the unit, but apparently they couldn’t do this for us, they kept referring us back to Leekes as this was where the blocker was. After agreeing Leekes would refund us we ordered an exact replacement from an electrical retailer and it arrived within 24 hours. Leekes also forgot to order the matching extractor fan, by the time they got round to resubmitting the order, there was a 6 week lead time, so again we pursued them for a refund. We managed to get one delivered within 3 weeks. The only bit of the project that was 100% was the worktops, Leekes use Cardiff Marble and I have to say they were excellent, they turned up when they were supposed to and delivered what we ordered. It was the only bit of the project that didn’t cause any issues. The moral of this story is that although Leekes promised a simple stress free experience, it was the opposite. We had to do all the chasing, if we didn’t chase Leekes they just didn’t call us or do anything. Once the project was finished, I asked them for some small compensation to cover the fact that we couldn’t cook any food at home for 3 weeks and the 10 hours of phonecalls I had made to them over the 5 weeks of problems, they basically told us to get stuffed. I resent that I spent so much money with a company that really doesn’t care about their customers or the customer experience. I would urge anyone in the market for any major projects like Kitchens or Conservatories, don’t go anywhere near these guys.”

“Recently had a conservatory built. Had to guess what was happening and when as nobody from Leekes would let us on a daily/weekly basis. Pleased with end result but extremely painful getting there. Would I recommend Leekes - NO”

“We have just bought a sofa and two chairs. We were served by Shelly and she was more than helpful. She showed us more colours than I even knew existed and helped us make our final decision quicker than we would have on our own. She is fantastic at her job and she was always happy to help and wiling to have a laugh with us.”

“After reading the good reviews and knowing the company's reputation, I had no problem splashing out on a new dining set from them. Rude salesmen, dining set delivered with damage to every piece! Not overly surprising considering the lack of sufficient packaging coupled with how the delivery men handle the products. After a ridiculous process of trying to arrange collection and re delivery of a new set, that included them asking for a photo of every item that was damaged (9 photos) but only being able to email one photo per email or they wouldn't be able to see it, then telling us that they had only received 2 photos, then telling us someone would contact us and nobody did, then finally after constant chasing we find out it will be re delivered a MONTH later and they also wouldn't be able to collect the damaged set until a MONTH later. So I'm stuck with this set, and all the mess (because they made us unwrap every bit of it) for a whole month until they can come. Almost a month passes and we contact them again to confirm a date to be told it would be ANOTHER MONTH. What an absolute joke. We told them to stick it, rather have the refund. You'd think that when you're paying £1500 for a dining set that you'd get better service.”

“Looking for a new sofa and chairs in the Llantrisant branch and were impressed with choice. Michelle was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. She was available for advice but not at all “pushy”. Hopefully our purchase will live up to expectations!”

“We have recently purchased a 3 piece suite at Llantrisant. We were dealt with by Elliot who sold us our previous suite 8 yrs ago. He demonstrated good product knowledge and we did not feel pushed into making a purchase.”

“We wanted to give our lounge and dining rooms a facelift, long overdue! Went to Leekes and met Bev, Interior Design Consultant. Bev made the whole process so easy with her friendly and professional approach and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure. This is the second time we have used Leekes. We had replacement windows, doors, soffits and guttering fitted in 2015. Excellent and professional service from start to finish. Can’t praise the company enough.”

“We went looking for coffee table(s) to complete the room with furniture that we had recently bought at the Llantrisant store. Michelle was MORE than helpful and actually helped to carry 1 item for us to see 'in situ' with the corner leather unit we had previously purchased - too big!!. It didn't really suit but Michelle just kept smiling through it all - patience personified!!! We eventually bought a smaller table and a 2-tier nest of tables - perfect!!!!”

“Abysmal delivery of online order. Date arranged, two separate texts from delivery driver on agreed date with two different time slots when we could expect them to arrive - times came and went, no sign of goods or follow up from delivery company. We had to chase delivery company and finally we we're advised by text they would not be delivering and we had to contact them to arrange a different delivery date. Hung around all day, absolutely ridiculous! Finally delivered order from Leekes a week later - Also ordered an item on line from Homebase, same delivery company (panther) same issue and still waiting for this item which appears to have been lost??”
