DIY Kitchens Reviews 

We heard about DIY Kitchens through our builder who recommended them after they were impressed with their quality after they had just fitted one on another job. 
We were doing a new build project and had looked at all the other 'standard' kitchen showrooms, however compared to DIY Kitchens their prices were very expensive.
Going with DIY kitchens meant we could upgrade all our doors to solid timber and have all the accessories we wanted (like a wine cooler, built in microwave etc) and they still came out £100 cheaper than everyone else for a much better product.
Plus their showroom near Oxford was great, we got to colour match everything and went in 3 or 4 times with paint samples and swatches to make sure everything was just as we wanted before ordering.

We made over a 10K saving in comparison to competitors - and got much better quality.

My husband researched for about a year trolling for real customer feedback on Facebook pages and DIY came out on top!!

The quality of our kitchen is amazing compared to others we looked at, the real wood doors and wood worktops are amazing - the pantry cupboards, bin drawers etc are so functional and affordable upgrades to get your dream kitchen (my non negotiable was the Belfast sink!)

We are really impressed with the kitchen quality of everything. I designed the kitchen how I wanted it and my husband done the hard work of getting it how I visioned it. Everything is at a high quality and would definitely recommend DIY Kitchens to others. We got samples of the doors and  worktops before ordering we was that impressed with the quality and price we added in units and worktops for our utility room. Customer service was always really helpful too with any questions I had.

Really impressed with the quality of the doors and kitchen its my dream kitchen! The online kitchen planner was also so easy to use. Couldn't recommend enough.

We heard from a friend, word of mouth

We did make a saving I think, we initially had a quote from howdens for approx £16,000 but we didn't have a like for like as we knew we wanted a DIY Kitchens kitchen.

The kitchen I have in uk is a DIY kitchen and it is 12 years old and still looks new. We have brought a house outside of UK and because we were so pleased with the quality and look of our kitchen we ordered and exported a DIY kitchen to our new house.

I had the worst delivery experience in my life with this company!

After paying £120 (the most I've ever had to pay for a delivery) the delivery rules they have seemed very restrictive to begin with but we accepted as there wasn't any other choice. They don't tell you when the delivery will arrave until the day before so it's assumed you don't have work or life and have to wait all week for a potential delivery.

Once the delivery arrived, the driver called me angry and screaming about not being able to fit through the front gate of my community. He was cursing and thretening to cancel the delivery and make me pay again and wait more for it! I came out and of course there was plenty of space for the truck to go through so he was just straight lying. After he countinued to scream and curse the whole time how Sh*t my gated community was and how he should've cancelled the order the moment he saw the address! I was very put off as he was very aggresive and rude to me. While they were unloading the furniture from the truck it started raining and all the wood was getting wet. I asked them to leave the furniture in the lobby of my apartment building so it doesen't get rained on. They actually laughed at me and said they're not doing that and dropped everything on the street next to their truck! ! ! In their own rules it sais they deliver up to 20m away from the truck and my lobby was about half of that away from them. After leaving everything on the rain they just shoved the papers in my hands and left in a rush, ignoring my pleas for help with moving everything out of the rain.

In the end it took me and my wife 2h to bring everything inside our apartment and my wife spend another hour trying to dry everything. Absolutely discraseful in my opinion and even after I sent a message to them about this, I haven't heard back from them.

That was only the delivery mind you. After we made our order, we didn't hear from them in over 2 weeks to then be rushed by emails asking us to respond within the hour about changes to the design. They told us we need to change and add a few small things and never mentioned price so I was expecting a few hundred pounds. In the end they sent us an email saying the kitchen is sent to production and we need to pay another £1000 pounds for a couple of end pieces and no changes can be done from now on! That is very predatory and we felt scammed as the total price went from £4000 to £5000 and that is a massive increase, considering they only warned us about a £90 price increase but forgot to mention the other £900 worth of charges!

I will never again work with this company and will tell everyone I know to not go near them. I am close to looking for legal help as I don't believe you can sent something for production without having the customer approve it and not even informing us of the price!

Following the death of my Mother in-law, the executors of her estate decided that until they could decide what to do with her house it would be best in the short term to rent out her modest property.

After almost a decade as a rental, a decision was finally made in 2025 to sell up, but by now ‘careworn’ would be a kind way to describe the interior and especially so the kitchen!

To pay trades to refurb the property would have simply been uneconomical, so I agreed to undertake the work myself with help of suitably skilled and qualified friends.

Kitchens (and bathrooms) sell houses and so the hunt was on for a replacement. We had a defined budget, but didn’t want to install something that looked and felt cheap. We looked at the units on sale in the ‘big sheds’ and even considered second hand - but an internet search threw up DIY Kitchens and as they had a showroom not too far away we decided to go and have a look.

We had expected to be visiting a warehouse with some units on display, but what we saw blew us away. It was a proper set up over two floors and reminded me of walking through a giant show house for kitchens. There was no pressure selling, just assistants willing to point out options that might match our requirements.

We’d imagined that we’d be buying flat packs, but no all the units and cupboards supplied to us arrived fully built - even with doors and drawers. We chose to buy units from the Linton range in Dove Grey along with Artisan Oak worktops. The thickness of the units along with their build quality and overall finish seemed unbeatable at that price - so we placed an order.

Delivery was exactly as arranged and despite each package being very heavy, the lads brought the whole lot into the house without complaint or needing assistance. Nothing was damaged and all the components necessary for the fit were present. We couldn’t praise them highly enough.

The units are very robust and with service voids to the rear - factors which contributed to the ease of their installation. Overall the family are very happy with the outcome. It is a quality kitchen at an affordable price.

We selected Bramley Bespoke, opting for Little Greene Yellow-Pink for the island and Little Greene Harley Green for the primary kitchen cabinetry.



The kitchen is exceptional quality, and I particularly appreciate the coffee pantry we created. Our pantry uses a mid-sized unit positioned atop 1000mm drawers, which feature a hidden internal drawer for cutlery, complemented by the DIY kitchens cutlery tray.

Our neighbour recommended we order our kitchen from DIY kitchens then my amazing husband, Todd installed it (he's not a professional, but owns a nail gun and is logical).

Other kitchens we were quoted with solid wood doors and bespoke colours were £30k more than this one. So much appreciated, we love it!!

I purchased a kitchen from DIY Kitchens and found the quality to be average, with no major issues with the product itself.

However, I experienced difficulties when dealing with replacement items, and the customer service felt quite basic. While issues were eventually addressed, the after-sales support and communication were not as smooth or responsive as I had expected.

Overall, the kitchen is decent, but the replacement process and customer service could be improved.

Purchased kitchen on 2023

Would 1000% recommended DIY kitchens. The online tool to help you design your own kitchen is amazing. We ordered samples choose what we wanted then went ahead and ordered. We didn’t visit a show room. Our kitchen is everything we dreamed of. The price, quality and service from DIY kitchens is outstanding.

★★★★★ Outstanding quality, exceptional value and first-class service

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with DIY Kitchens. From the initial design process through to delivery and installation, everything was seamless, professional and incredibly well organised.

The quality of the kitchen has genuinely exceeded our expectations. The cabinetry is exceptionally well made, the finishes are flawless, and every component feels premium. We chose the Bramley range with Monkey Puzzle doors, a solid surface worktop and a bespoke layout, and the end result has completely transformed our home. Everyone who visits comments on how impressive it looks.

What really sets DIY Kitchens apart is the combination of outstanding quality and incredible value. We compared numerous kitchen suppliers before making our decision, and nothing came close in terms of specification, flexibility or price. Being able to configure every cabinet exactly as we wanted meant we achieved a truly bespoke kitchen without paying bespoke prices.

The practical features have made everyday living so much easier too. The tall larder provides fantastic storage, the pull-out bin has been a surprisingly brilliant addition, the waist-height ovens are incredibly practical, and the large island has become the heart of our home for cooking, entertaining and family life.

Communication throughout was excellent, delivery was exactly as promised, and every item arrived extremely well packaged and in perfect condition.

If you’re considering a new kitchen, we genuinely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DIY Kitchens. The quality rivals kitchens costing significantly more, and the finished result has exceeded every expectation. It has become our favourite room in the house, and choosing DIY Kitchens was one of the best decisions we made during our renovation.

Five stars without hesitation.

I was in such a quandary over which kitchen company to use. I got quotes from all of them, and I was completely confused about what I was actually getting for the kitchen, what the quality was, and how to deal with all sorts of different pressurised selling from other companies. I just came across DIY Kitchens when I was looking for a better solution, and their excellent Trustpilot reviews instantly gave me the confidence to look further. What really helped clear up the confusion was that DIY Kitchens provided samples so you knew exactly what you were getting beforehand. By picking DIY Kitchens, I made a massive saving of over £15,000. I spent a total of £7,500, which included both the kitchen and the installation. This was an incredible saving against Wickes, who wanted to charge me £21,000 for visually the same kitchen layout but at a much poorer quality.

I have to say I am extremely impressed with the overall quality. The kitchen units arrived as solid, fully glued rigid structures, which is fantastic for a standard fit. However, what I particularly love is that DIY Kitchens gives you the flexibility to choose a dry-assembled option instead of a glued rigid carcass. This proved to be a total game-changer for my renovation because it meant I could easily deconstruct and adapt the units on-site. Using this option, I was able to successfully modify one of their standard 1,000mm base units into a bespoke vanity unit for my downstairs toilet, so my downstairs tied in beautifully, making my small house look much bigger with additional storage space!

Beyond that brilliant design flexibility, the daily durability of the materials is exceptional. The cabinet doors have a reassuring weight to them, the hinges are incredibly robust, and the drawers are seamlessly smooth when opening and closing. Even in the cupboards that get opened constantly, none of the internal shelves has bent or warped a single millimetre under the weight of my tins and boxes. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for premium, heavy-duty durability without the luxury showroom price tag… and I have!

Love my new Luca Kitchen. It’s a fabulous, quality kitchen and it came at a fraction of the price quoted by other kitchen retailers. The DIY Kitchens customer service team were really helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure I hadn’t made any errors in my plan. They have a huge number of kitchens on display at their showroom which gave me some great ideas for mine.

Great experience buying our kitchen from DIY Kitchens. The planner was a little tricky to understand at times, but the helpline was great and the staff responsive.
The kitchen is exactly as we imagined thanks to the detailed CGI.
The delivery window is quite wide so planning time off work or being available to take the delivery was difficult, but overall was smooth and hassle free. One door was damaged on arrival, but it was very quickly rectified and we were sent a new door immediately.
We've ordered multiple times now, adding additional units as required and every time it has been easy and efficient.
Would highly recommend.

Wow! A fabulous site and definitely the best kitchen display place we’ve been to. A 2 hour drive for us was well worth it!

Amazing showrooms (we visited both) with so many kitchens to view. Easy to order ourselves and adjust things as needed. Delivery was smooth and any issues were quickly rectified. Really pleased with the quality of the kitchen - our builder was so impressed he's ordered a DIY kitchen for himself too!

I love my DIY kitchen! We purchased the Sienna/Palazzo kitchen looks stunning and very stylish! The quartz worktop that chosen looks great against the Cashmere & Sepia doors and we also made good use of the space with a selection of different units and the internal bin unit is a real game changer and great for food prep workflow. Having our oven at waist height is a real back saver too and our island/breakfast bar is perfectly positioned to serve up and enjoy a meal. We are delighted with the end result and the tall larder gives so much convenient storage space.

DIY Kitchens have been fantastic. I do not usually take the time to write reviews, but they have been exceptional in so many ways.
I also got a quote from WREN and had insistent sales people wanting to push their design onto me without really listening to my needs... and so I was initially draw to DIY Kitchens because it gave me the time to play with different ideas in the planner tool (yes, a little clunky at first, but easy to use once you understood how it works). Visiting the Whitney showroom was really useful to get further ideas (like the rounded corner unit) and reassure me about the quality of the products, and the staff were warm and welcoming.
And the customer service team (and after sales team) are invaluable, answering questions and sense-checking the order. Although the replies are not immediate, they are always thorough.
You need to plan in advance because delivery will take time, but that team was also friendly and easy to work with.
And my fitters were blown away with how much better the kitchen was to install compared with high street competitors.
... and of course the price can't be beaten (though its difficult to make a like for like comparison because the range of colours and unit combinations are not matched elsewhere. It has meant I could afford the high quality finish I was after and plan to enjoy using the kitchen for many years to come.
I just hope DIY Kitchens do not change your business model - you offer a product not matched in the field.

The Best Things Come...



It probably sounds corny but it's not just a kitchen (it's a DIY kitchen!). We waited over four years for this and (even though it's gorgeous) it represents so much more than just a kitchen. It's... taken the load off.



When we moved in here, we put up with an old ruined kitchen with just one electric socket, a broken dishwasher and extractor fan, little lighting and no bin drawer (first world problems, I know). But daily I would be swapping plugs, manually pulling bins out (dog essential), hand washing everything and bemoaning my tired, broken kitchen. A chasm where the dishwasher was, housed dirty recycling tubs. And rats were getting in 😵😵‍💫😩

In getting the kitchen right, I did 25 designs, and employed a lot of patience while we sorted the finance. I ordered sample paints and tested them together. Now... I'm so glad that the ideas were able to formulate and develop.

We got other quotes. They were at least double the price, for a bog-standard kitchen. Not one with the colour options and ergonomic design features that we have. We live in an art deco-era bungalow so the curved units mimic the hall walls leading into the kitchen. The colours (Pink Yellow and Garden from Little Greene) I chose, because we have this great view and I wanted to bring nature's colours inside, as well as out. I found the perfect tiles on Marketplace and then a matching paint for the woodwork in Oak Apple - also from Little Greene.



In the time since we moved here, my daughter has been diagnosed Coeliac - she must avoid all wheat, rye and barley. She now has her own section of the kitchen and carousel cupboard making it easier to avoid cross-contamination.



I'm glad a few months have passed and it feels more real and normal to live like this. To begin with it just felt like a dream. I didn't want to touch anything! So surreal.



We really, really love it. It has made me so happy, and has been an enriching, creative opportunity. The kids love it, our friends love it. Even the dog loves it! Thank you so much for my dream kitchen and giving me little pockets of my life back! (as I swish the bin back into its housing...🥰 giving Julie Andrews🤣).
