Hi all, has anyone had a kitchen from DIY kitchens and used their worktop service? If so, would you recommend?

    We had a Dekton surface from them, which was supplied and installed by https://naturalstonesurfaces.co.uk/ who presumably subcontract for them. It all went very well, and we couldn't fault the quality. The price was better than any of the several comparison quotes we had.

    The only thing I would say is that the lead times for templating after the kitchen was fitted and installation once the templating was done meant that we were without a functioning kitchen for a bit longer than we would have hoped. I think this is par for the course with solid surfaces, and we wanted installation at the busiest time of year, so no real cause for complaint.

    I didn't use them as they seemed relatively expensive. It might have been a false economy as I found many worktop brands will only deliver as far west as Bristol, and I had to pay over the odds for delivery to Somerset!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    Thanks. They are around £500 cheaper than anything local, I guess the installer is the key.
