I found DIY kitchens after searching the net and looking at the likes of Magnet, Howdens, Wickes B&Q, Benchmark, etc. The website was good although occasionally a bit slow. I particularly liked the tour of their showroom which showed the kitchens in situ.
The quality of the units is excellent. The are well made and sturdy. I installed the kitchen myself and had no major problems. As for the price, it was significantly cheaper than the aforementioned brands. They provide a sample service that was really helpful and the £5 per item is refunded if you order. Delivery was no problem. I had a couple of doors that failed their quality assurance so they shipped the bulk of the kitchen and sent the replacement doors a week or so later.
A word or two of advice. The onus is on you, or your builder/designer, to get the planning and ordering right. Plan your kitchen carefully with scale drawings (they provided a planning pack to help). Measure your room and angles very carefully. Note entry/exit points for water, gas, electric, etc. and doorways & windows accurately. Check everything at least twice! Make sure you get the hinges on the correct edge of the doors. Pay for them to drill the hinge holes (about £2.50 per door) - they have the jigs to ensure accurate and consistent alignment. Just to be safe, check everything - measurements, plans and units ordered again.
Happy to recommend.
