I found the staff to be professional and speedy in their actions and responses. I had my own builder on site and so this delayed the whole progress of fitting the kitchen. However, Intoto were always happy to come round and talk to my builder- constantly checking the progress and addressing any difficulties. I realise the more the work is subcontracted the more difficulties that are likely to arise. fortunately, Intoto had their own fitters. ...

In-toto started work on our kitchen on 7th Nov 2011 and it is still not finished March 2012. (monies Paid In-toto to date £50K+) Computer generated design that did not work in reality. What is most worrying is the work you can not see. Electrics and plumbing > electrical shorting and water leaks, both we have already experienced!!! Examples Splashback (paid approx £1200) In-toto measured incorrectly (Short in length)- In-toto first suggested adding pieces, not acceptable. Then In-toto said can...

Serve a court summons on them. Although Intoto Guildford are still fitting my kitchen four and a half months later, the service of court papers didn't half get them back round here pronto.

In Toto Ipswich (Sproughten) fitted a new £15k kitchen for us three years ago. We've recently had a hinge fail on the built-in fridge that was installed. We've has some cuboard door stops fail. We realise that the guarantee has expired but the complete disinterest - both by phone and letter - from In Toto has surprised us. Apparently it's entirely our problem, we have to contact the manufacturers ousrelves, but the parts and fit them. We would have been quite happy to pay them for fixing the hinge...

No surprises here- at least you've got as far as three years. they have still not completed mine three months after starting and promising completion before Xmas. I've had to serve Court papers on them all to get this far.

I would like to say what a great job intoto Guildford did for me, when they did my kitchen; it was a great planning service, friendly staff and quick service. They came up to solutions to my issues and were really kind. The fitters were on time and cleared up after themselves, I would recommend them time and time again....

You must have had a very different team to mine. Six weeks after starting mine, it is still a shambles.

Thinking of Intoto for your new kitchen? Let me tell you my experience with them. My kitchen is not overly large, and the designer, and showroom owner/manager both visited and agreed it would be a week (5 working day) long job. To be on the safe side they started the previous Wednesday, thus ostensibly giving them 8 working days. They sent a single self employed fitter to undertake what was clearly a two man job due to the unwieldiness of the full height cupboards which needed cutting down to size,...

To "Guest"
Yes, I am sorry about not identifying the store. Other store's reviews appear to be much more complimentary.
The store in question is the GUILDFORD one. However, I was obviously induced by the Intoto brand, so they have some responsibility to help address the issues. I am pleased to say that they have become involved to try and resolve the problems, which one full month later, are still ongoing.

...and here we are a month later, still unfinished, doors without units, stopcock exposed, cooker hood not working etc etc. INTOTO head office have indeed been in touch. Their suggestion,in order to settle this speedily is that I should accept a lesser specification than that originally ordered. Needless to say, no offer of a reduction inthe cost to reflect this.

And another public holiday , Easter 2012comes, and goes, and STILL INTOT have not completed this extremely large 2.5 metres square kitchen which was promised completion prior to XMAS 2011.

and today, four months after commencement the INTOTO fitter has handed me some electrical outlet sockets, IN CASE I WANT TO FIT THEM MYSELF.
I've heard of DIY but this is a whole new level.
Run a mile before engaging this shambolic outfit.

CAVEAT EMPTORS!
In their defence to the Court INTOTO rely upon the small print which states that"Time is not of the essence in this contract" They claim that
this means that they can complete it as and when they please.
BUYERS BEWARE!!

We would like to thank Richard at Intoto Wokingham and the rest of his team for providing us with an excellent kitchen that has exceeded our original expectations.

We purchased our kitchen through InToto St Albans and would not recommend them. Initial kitchen design was very good and front of house service was all very charming but sorry to say that once fitting started there were too many flaws. The project manager was not at all professional or up to the job, his coordination of trades was particularly poor and he never appeared to have his customers interest at heart. Emails, texts and telephone chasing didn't ever phase him and answers were so slow to...

The new management would wish to apollogise for the problems this customer has experienced and will endever to ensure no such episodes are repeated.

Totally agree, had the same shoddy service from Intoto Cheam. All promises upfront about 5 year guarantee and banging on about excellent customer service in their literature. However, they ignored two emails and a voicemail when I simply asked them to tighten up wonky unit doors and replace a rubber stopped to stop the bin drawer from slamming which I couldn't do myself and assumed was part of the guarantee for workmanship on the units They said it wasn't included in the guarantee and that they would send someone round to do for no charge. That was over 2 months ago. I'm not holding my breathe...

Poor value for money. No 3D computer picture before purchasing. Insufficient advice. Very shallow drawers with wasted space beneath. The undercupboard trims protrude above the hob presenting a fire risk. Doors open the wrong way with handles in the wrong place. What do I like? - the Franke sink and taps. I would have liked to have known the depth of the cupboards before purchasing, this measurement was not shown on the plan. Purchased from the Worcester branch....

Dealt with John at Intoto in Halifax - really nice and straight up bloke. Not high pressure like others we had visited. Installation went great and no complaints on the quality.

Huge mistake buying a kitchen from this lot. Several faults with the delivery. Kitchens are very mediocre. Only 4 months after installation things are starting to go wrong. Plinths keep falling off, doors keep needing adjustments, one door has already been replaced. Cant see how this kitchen will last 10 years. I had been assured a good German made kitchen. This kitchen is Wickes quality for 3-4 times the price. Appliance 'offers' are a scam. Retailer said they would allow us to supply our...

We used Intoto in St Albans and I would not recommend them. Initially when in the planning phase everything was great but once they got the money and things started to go wrong they did not want to know. Our phone calls and e-mails are not returned and we have spent our time chasing them only to receive dismissive responses. We used our own fitter but asked Intoto to organise the worktops which proved to be a nightmare and we are still waiting on the glass splash back. The kitchen was delivered...

In 2006 we bought an Intoto Kitchen in Teddington and were very happy with our experience. From sales pitch, to product designed and installation we were very happy. Having recently moved house we decided to go with Intoto again but this time using a different branch (Guildford) - how shambolic! The proprietor consistently failed to return phone calls, when we did speak to him he would promise to call back within hours with answers to specific questions, and NEVER did. Whilst his manner was (mostly)...

Our In toto Kitchen was fitted just about 5 years ago. The quality of the units is fantastic , they are still as good as new, BUT!!! the quality of workmanship is apalling. We have been beset by minor plumbing and electrical problems ever since.

The manager at the time was aggressive and unhelpful!! Can't stop to write more as we have currently...

Stunning kitchen! I've done a fair amount of DIY, and had previous bathrooms/kitchens fitted by some of the other large national chains. In-ToTo blows them all away. The design team is low pressure (even talking us down from some unnecessarily expensive appliances), and has lots of clever storage ideas for small kitchens. The quality of the product is what you'd expect from high-end German kitchens, and the installation team did a fantastic job. They've been a pleasure to work with, and I'd...

We purchased a kitchen worth over £20k from Intoto. Cannot fault the staff at the dealership for not trying, but the quality of the product is quite simply awful. Components provide poor color matching and after several conversations, it was a take it leave it situation. Very dissapointing. A couple of months on and having spoken to friends, family and 'people in the know' the reality of our purchase has dawned on us. This is really a very mediocre product backed up by slick marketing....
