We have just priced up a beautiful kitchen from Wickes - and it's quite cheap! Has anybody got one? What is the quality like?

We bought one last year and are really pleased with the quality & price. You need good fitters though. Wickes can recommend people to fit but ideally check with someone who has used them before in your area. We were fortunate to have friends who carry out work for Wickes -they did a great job in a less than perfect Victorian house -it helped that they stayed with us for the 3 days it took to complete! They have been kitchen fitters for years and recommended Wickes above B&Q, MFI etc for quality at that price

We have one on order. The service has been excellent. Better than some of the other flash kitchen companies, that we called in, one of them told me that they use many of the same brands as Wicks but under different names! Wicks installers are putting it in and they do not charge a penny until you are happy with the instillation.Can't say fairer than that!!

their 'OK', run of the meal kitchens you will more than likely have to replace it within 3-5 years the usual standard diy store.their fine if you want to sell your property but if you want a kitchen to last I'd look elsewhere. on the other hand a lot depends on the standard of fit,you could buy the most expensive kitchen in the world but if its fitted by somebody who isn't a full time kitchen fitter(a minimum of 5 years experience) you could have problems.is it a dry fit, have they quoted for the whole package including the fitting or is it supply only, what about appliances? does the price include all electrical and gas work... i could carry on.. if you do go ahead and purchase the kitchen please make sure it all arrives at the same time as units tend to be missing as it comes flat pack not ridged (check for damaged especially worktops). if you have anymore questions feel free to e-mail me as i run a retail family kitchen business with my wife and father in-law (who alone has 25 years experience in this game)..we fully manufacture kitchens plus install with our own fitters.
good luck!
