Hello


Just wondered if anyone locally has used DIY Kitchens (based in Yorkshire)as they see to be good value. Is so would you recommend them and be willing for us to pop around and have a look as we haven't managed to get to their Yorkshire showroom yet.


Thanks very much,


Paul and Laura

Hi, we used them - bought high gloss cream doors, and all looked great at the beginning (now about 6-7 years old, and installed for 5 or 6 years - in storage for a while before fitting). HOWEVER, on many doors the vinyl cover has lost it's adhesion to the door in various places. And you can see bubbling if looking at right angle or you might catch it and realise it's not glued down anymore. WE've replaced a few doors, and purchased specialist glue to repair where we can. Who know if it's a bad batch, or just general low quality (for the long-term)...... WE're not very happy about it though.


Hope this helps in your decision making.

We used them. We had a painted finish so we wont get the same problems Nicky suffered. To be fair, most carcasses, back panels are the same no matter where you buy it.

We're very pleased with ours. We went for the Luca kitchen ( i think that is what it was called) with a painted matt finish (lamp room grey)with a whilte island and if you marry it up with a quality Korian type worktop, it looks as good as my neighbours new kitchen who paid about 4 times as much via a showroom in East London. You are responsible for all the measuring and planning though so take extra care!


Delivery was flexible (we managed to put off the delivery a couple of times as we fell behind with the works. We did however receive a few damaged items so make sure you check everything carefully asap.

Overall - happy with the service and quality of the units.

    • Is it possible for someone to change the heading, because it is not clear that this "fatality" has not just happened. I'm not sure that the OP still posts on here. Admin?
    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
