anyone know of a marpatt kitchen door supplier? preferably internet based

We're currently having a (marpatt doored) kitchen installed by a local kitchen fitter and have run into difficulties.

Long story short, marpatt have stuffed up the painted finish on the doors of another customer with my installer. As a result of the difficulties and frankly acrimonious relationship that now exists between the fitter and Marpatt, Marpatt are refusing to supply our last four doors! (Remember that this is not the job that they're arguing about!)

So, anyone know of any suppliers out there of Marpatt kitchen doors that will be able to place a small order for us?!!!

    I think you should contact Marpatt directly and explain that you're stuck in a situation. Hopefully they will see you good themselves.

    How is the kitchen, other than that ?

    Unfortunately, Marpatt are refusing to sell directly to us (as in me,so bypassing the fitter) Marpatt are effectively using my kitchen as ransom to the kitchen fitter because of the other painted kitchen problem :(

    I find it awful that Marpatt can leave an innocent customer without a completed kitchen, I'm not at all impressed. The kitchen itself is great, the doors are lovely, what we have of them..........

    nope, unfortunately not

    However, we finally got the doors. Not because Marpatt behaved decently in any way, but because the issue between my kitchen fitter & the other kitchen was resolved.

    If anyone is reading this, and is considering using a fitter that deals with Marpatt, I would seriously reconsider. At the very least ensure that your kitchen is delivered in its entirety early on in the project & that there are no outstanding jobs that the fitter is doing at the same time.

    Marpatt don't care about the end user, and have used us, an innocent third party, as a pawn in their disagreement with our kitchen fitter

    I have a similar situation. I need two more Marpatt doors to rectify some design issues with my kitchen. But the company who fitted the kitchen went into receivership, so cannot get them to source them. So I need doors and a fitter. Cambs / Herts area. Any suggestions / recommendations please?
  • There is a dealer of Marpatt doors based in leicestershire called Hemingway design. You can buy Marpatt doors from this company at trade price and can be delivered in the UK. contact via their sales email or phone no.
