We had bathroom from Homebase despite being told it would be delivered in 6 weeks we waited 5 months they were c... to deal with so dont go with them . Still parts missing !

trout Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sussing out what you need and collecting works fine. Ours is lasting even now after 4 odd years. Door hinges on our model a slight issue as need tightening constantly now on a couple of units, but going and getting similar generic hinges would do the trick.

filskadacat Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ours is lasting even now after 4 odd years. Door hinges on our model a slight issue as need tightening constantly now This is a typo for 14 - right? We actually paid a company to install our kitchen 20 years ago as couldn't face the length of time it would take to do it ourselves with us both working and a baby. Baby is now 21 and the kitchen still looks absolutely fine apart from where we scorched a cupboard door shifting a candelabra off the table at a particularly merry supper party involving a bunch of Spaniards. It's Rational and was probably well worth the money given that we were not intending to move. But in terms of B&Q stuff - 6 years ago we bought their oak cupboard doors to fit out storage space in the back sitting room - they look brand new still. Also in spare bedroom put in sink unit and used B&Q cherry something for doors, drawers, shelving and end panel - looks smart and works well. Do it yourself though!

Roxy71 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I see that online you canna buy from them as they don't deliver to Shetland. However, I rang the Garthdee store in Aberdeen and they will send to boat. So my sink and stuff is £10 delivered not bad as the two sinks at Hays that I could afford were not as nice.

Roxy71 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 BUY LOCAL. yes i said it again I would have bought local but the two sinks I could afford I did not like them as much as the one at B&Q. I was impressed with B&Q they sent me a text 3 days before my delivery day and true to their word I got it that day. I did buy local for my worktop & flooring though.

trout Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 This is a typo for 14 - right? Nope. It's only been in 4 years. Had to replace kitchen when me moved in as everything was damaged - even the carcasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
