Cook & Lewis Kitchens.

We purchased a Cook & Lewis kitchen from B&Q for our new bungalow in September 2009. We have had nothing but problems with it and that's only putting it together, which we started in the November due to other problems with walls, electrics etc. My dh has fitted three other kitchens for us in our previous homes, all off the shelf and never had any problems. So this time we thought as it will probably the last kitchen he will ever have to fitt again, I hope, it would be nice to have one a bit better made.


What a mistake to make, as we have had to wait for so many correct parts to be sent, it is still ongoing, plus whole carcases not being sent or wrong hinges, wish we had bought a cheaper one, boy, are B & Q getting it in the neck at the moment.

Has any one else had any problems with the Cook & Lewis range?

    Not personally had a problem, but I have recently ordered an "IT Range" kitchen from B&Q which are supposed to be the cheaper option to Cooke & Lewis at B&Q so i'm now a bit concerned.

    Keep us updated how you get on.

    We had an IT before and no problems with any of it.

    We also bought an IT kitchen from B&Q last year and also very pleased with it, no problems at all
