“space kitchen disaster”
Written on: 19/07/2012
We were talked into buying a kitchen from space kitchens and also having a window fitted.the kitchen was duly fitted and i had to chase round Britian for two months to find my window.it was fitted by Weatherseal. When the guarantee came it was a little piece of paper and our name and address was handwritten by a two year old and probably just as useless. (read more)

bought a kitchen in 2005 and am very happy with my kitchen-design is exactly how I wanted it.The sales person knew what I was looking for in the kitchen. I exchanged some of the standard appliances which the company offers for top of the range appliances from different companies ( took some time to shop around but was worth every single minute) I wanted a kitchen that lasts for ever .Every visitor I get admires my kitchen. The fitters were absolutely fantastic and I can still call them to... (read more)

“fire hazard”
Written on: 29/02/2012
I've just had the built in gas oven removed and found the shelf it sat on had burnt an enormous hole in it. How my house wasn't burned down god only knows. The heat that must have been generated turned most of the shelf into charcoal. How the gas pipe didn't melt and explode is a miracle. Also they had not fed the plug and lead through a hole. Which now I'll have to do to fit my new oven. The wiring was found to be dangerous and they had just fitted the unit with it trapped behind. I've had... (read more)

This company rips everyone off, even there own staff. The cold calling sales team who make the calls to get what they "Bites" like fishing are all self employed. They probably get what is the equivalent of the minimum wage.
But heres the crunch, out of that minimum wage they have to pay the company for the use of the company telephones, and the desk (workstation) they sit at. The desks are falling apart and the chairs they sit on are ripped to shreds, Even the telephones have dodgy wiring and some are even held together with selotape.
I went for a job interview there once where It almost seemed like I had got the job before the interview started.
They also encourage the staff to exercise income tax evasion by implying that the rules of self employent mean you dont actually have to register yourself as self employed for three months after you start. In other words work for us for three months and say nothing. Most of the employees there are on benefits. I was told this whilst getting to know some of the other employees.
Anyway I started the training and quickly worked out how much of a shoddy outfit this company is some of the methods the sales supervisors use to motivate theyre staff to get "a bite" is kindergarden stuff. an example of this is. All the staff in the call centre were made to stand up and they could only sit down again until they had a bite..
Needless to say I didnt stand up. I got a real funny look off the supervisor when I didnt. But I suppose me being at least 10 years older than her compared to most of the other staff mainly teenagers and people in their twenties I guess she had second thoughts about making an issue out of it.
Cut a long story short, Im surprised I made it to the first tea break. I walked straight past the staff room picked my coat up and walked out.
But Hey if your claiming benefits nd you wanna earn a LITTLE extra cash for xmas on the quiet then this is the job for you. If you have a concience and dont like lying to people then im afraid its not
I gave it a chance

“Claim under Space kitchens guarantee”
Written on: 24/01/2012
I was pressured into having a space kitchen installed 5yrs ago and had very similar experiences that all the other customers wrote about in their reviews. I replaced the built in fridge-freezer and dishwasher 2yrs after installation and now the cupboard fronts are all worn and warped and the kickboards are the same. I paid £8000 for this kitchen and expected it to look good for much longer than 5yrs. I am now trying to make a claim but have been asked to fill out a claim form and forward... (read more)

I installed a kitchen from Space Kitchens and although I was initially quite pleased at the design and ordering stage, the service seemed to fall apart after they had my money. The fitter was sub contracted and no accoountability given by the company. He made an awful mess with masonry left behind the kickboards, electrics and plastering was abysmal. The interior shelving of the cupboards is shoddily fitted and falls apart with the slightest provocation. The sink waste was never properly sealed, worktops have since bubbled at the join and the clock onTeka oven zeroed itself after a power cut. Web searches revealed that this is a fault with the product and although easily remedied, I have to pay £40 call out charge to have an engineer reset it since it is now outwith the year warranty. All in all a disappointing purchase of over £8,000 which I look at every day and weep.

Did you ever manage to sort out your kitchen?
We had ours fitted in 2010 and they estimated a 4 day installation which ended up been 7 days. The project manager was ignorant and we never saw him after day 1. The design that they were working from didn't work and as they were pressured for time, they weren't willing to alter. After a few months we had a problem with the dishwasher and Neff said it was fitted too tight, I rang Space Kitchens and they were out within 2 hours and had moved the unit - couldn't believe it what great service.... 18 months on, it hasn't been moved enough. Neff have been out 3 times and now say they dishwasher is flexing when hot as it is tight in the unit and is letting steam out of the top and warping the door. The kitchen tap has been leaking badly for days and so I have rang to ask for a repair over a week ago and was told a form was in the post. No form arrived so I rang again to be told it was Royal Mails fault - which I don't believe and another would be put in the post. They will not come out until the form is returned and the £90 fee paid and will not do business over the phone, so I am left with no alternative but to buy a new tap and get a plumber in, but don't know what to do about the dishwasher door as I feel it is Space Kitchens responsibilty but have no faith in the organisation at all.

Terrible service (repetitive breakdown of kitchen appliances - protracted resolution of issue).
Refusal to fulfill contractual obligations. Having agreed on purchase price with SP official and signed of on contract, was subsequently told by a senior official of company that they were not prepared to deliver at the contractually agreed price.
Ended up having to offer an extra £500 (they wanted considerably more) or being left high and dry at Christmas time. Suing the company for non-fulfillment of contractual obligation would, of course, have cost time and money. Effectively held to ransom.
Not impressed.

“Space Kitchens Disaster”
Written on: 07/06/2011 by liamburke
My sister ordered a kitchen from Space Kitchens. They did a very good job of selling it to her but that was where the quality ended. She had a fully tiled kitchen already but the new installation meant that some of the existing tiles would have to be replaced. The salesmen insisted that he could source the original tiles and that it would be no problem. When the fitter eventually started work (a week late) he informed my sister that he didn't have the tiles and that the salesman who assured... (read more)

Ok, so we had a visit from Space at the end of Feb, the rep took his time, about 3 and a half hours, but as he explained from the off its not something you do in half an hour, so we gave him the time. He was clearly experienced at the job, so when going through the standard presentation, we told him simply we werent interested in finance, or the never ending presentation; luckily he had enough wits about him to stop reading from his sales script and get on with it.

Our designer arrived at 7:30, and didnt leave until 11:30!!! the only reason i had asked them to come out, was because they were offering 50% off and £1000 worth of appliances if you booked a visit - that then became an old promotion - the website hadn't been updated!!

MY LIFE IS A MISSERY BECAUSE OF SPACE KITCHENS!!!!!
can someone out there help me sort out this HELL.
Same thing rep stayed for hrs,kitchen started of at£10.000 then went down to £6000.
Yes looking back on it now what a total fool iam.
The only reason i agreed because i was told the kitchen would pay for itself by having advertising board and get 5% off each viewing, £550 cash back on complession, 2 free holidays, 5year gaurentee,NON of this has happened!!!
Instead my £6000 kitchen has turned into £14.000 because ive refused to pay any of this until they have given my what was promise,so now they have taken this further and have a hold on my property.
Iam currently on alot of medication and dont feel i have any quality of life left in me.

I made the mistake of joining Space Kitchens when I was out of work, a lot of hype is made of how much you can earn if you put in the hours, which seemed fair enough.

“I worked for space kitchens after finishing...”
Written on: 20/11/2010
I worked for space kitchens after finishing university. I was unable to find a job and a friend suggested it was easy money and quite good fun.
I spent my time going to visit customers in their own home to try and sell them a kitchen. Most nights finished the same way, me apologising to people as a result of how my manager had spoke to them.
I was also consistently underpaid and on at least 2 occasions cash deposits were stolen by the manager.
I didn't stay here long, but I would urge...

Space Kitchens, avoid like the plague. They re-arranged two appointments, then turned up late for the third. Told salesman it was too late, he went away. Got call from his 'manager' who called my partner something unsavoury. Salesman knocks on door again, asks for petrol money, partner refuses, salesman tries to force entry, police called, unfortunately he drives away. Call from scottish lady at Space Kitchens who is horrified at happenings and apologises. This was a very scary... (read more)

I am writing this on behalf of my elderly father. My dad instructed Space Kitchens to install a New boiler and Kitchen. The boiler hasn't worked since day one. Its now been over a month and he doesn't have any central heating. Considering the weather and the fact he is living alone they have consistently ignored his requests to get the boiler working. The other problem is the dishwasher it's unusable. If you try and open it the dishwasher hits the cooker! I think the service is disgusting... (read more)

Written on: 01/11/2010
Gosh. this is very dejavu. We had the cold call and thought we couldn't lose someone recommending and getting a cost for our much needed kitchen renovation. Sales person stayed for hours and we literally couldn't get them out the door quick enough. However they tried to pressure us into signing a deal/contract. It got really heavy going. I ended up texting my neighbour, who was the local bobby, to pop in for a chat and he pretty much 'moved him along'. I reported the company to the consumer... (read more)

Written on: 27/10/2010
As you have to provide rating 1 star for turning up! But minus stars for bad practice. VFM - never got that far! Experienced same practice of phone call advising we were picked from national data base. However as we were thinking of redesigning our kitchen we agreed to the "designer" calling round at at 3.30pm even though we had family bbq in the evening. He had no social skills whatsoever and was oblivious to our need to enjoy our guests so at 7.30, despite numerous attempts to persuade... (read more)

We were called up by this company on a Sunday afternoon and told the story of 'we are doing a marketing promotion in your area' blah, blah, blah - but because we are actually in the market for a new kitchen, I thought (against my better judgement that this might be a scam) why not? No harm in seeing them. They came around at 7.30 that same evening and spent ages slagging off other companies, and saying how wonderful Space Kitchens were, but was an hour and a half before he even properly... (read more)

Had a recent dealing with Space Kitchens, had a call and appointment arranged. The man came at 8pm and left at 1.30 am. We were pressured into signing that night, after the chap had gone realised made a mistake and looked at reviews on computer. Cancelled the order 2 days later. The Area Manager came 7 days later to supposedly cancel the contract. We were told that we wud not get our deposit back, which i think is wrong the guy said we signed a waiver, which i know we didnt we saw no copy of... (read more)

I WOULDNT MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE LIKE THIS AGAIN... Had i read others reviews about Space Kitchens I would not have gone ahead. It wasnt til the night of the agreement that i looked at the internet and became so scared and felt stupid that I had signed with them. I thought i would give them the benefit of the doubt and hoped i maybe a lucky customer, however, now after completion - I have no good words at all to say about them. The Sales man was at my house for 4 hours, the installers came... (read more)

I was in the market for a new kitchen and when called from space kitchens i was told that the company were running a promotion in my area and that i could actually get my kitchen at no cost if i was chosen to feature in the magazine, if i was not chosed to feature i would still recieve a very highly discounted quote which would be valid for up to two years.

Cancelled my appointment with this company after reading reviews on this site. Sounds like I had a lucky escape. They cold called me I dont know how they got my number, but I had been browsing web sites. They were scaryily pushy on the phone, asking personal questions, and almost demanding to know if my husband would be home and if I had the authority to give the 'designer' (read high pressure salesman), the go ahead on the day of the initial contact. Got same pushy attitide when I... (read more)

SPACE Kitchens are a nightmare, if your number gets onto their *National Database* then I pity you because they will call you persistently and relentlessly, no matter how many times you request to be removed from their DB, it will not be actioned.
We were initially cold-called eause they *allegedly* have a special offer available for show houses in our Post Code "we can do this because we don't have show rooms, so use our installations" - Blah blah blah!
Anyway, we made the mistake of...

Space Kitchens persistently cold call you saying they will give you a free, no obligation to buy kitchen plan. The gentleman who came round was polite, whilst not listening to anything I was requesting to have in the new design. However from the outset I became aware that this was to be a hard sell! Constant trying to get me on a finance plan where you end up paying a lot more money. Supposedly, their products have superior quality over the likes of B & Q, Ikea etc, which you would not...

Ericblythe's Comment
Written on: 03/10/2012
Space Kitchens are just a total cowboy outfit. Their Designer's that come out to your house don't have a clue, they talk down other companie's making comparisons to why they are far superior and try to justify why their kitchens are far superior quality. Even when you decide to cancel within the 7 day distance selling rules which anyone is entitled to they then telephone you up and try to enforce the sale. They use underhand tactics such as the kitchen was made to measure when they are infact just flat packs.

I was duped into buying a kitchen and I am now in the process of replacing it. The quality is very poor flat packed mdf. I was told that my kitchen would be individually made. Furthermore, the person who installed the kitchen should never have been allowed anywhere near a kitchen. He fixed one of the wall units by screwing into the architrive round my back door. Anyone considering buying a kitchen from these con merchants should seriously think again. Phil (Birmingham)
