Space Kitchens www.spacekitchens.co.uk

Space Kitchens came cold calling at the door, they came with strategies to convince you to buy the kitchen and had packs of stuff like door handles to choose from and type of counter and glass. We went ahead and it was the biggest mistake ever, cost us 16000 pounds. They came and done the job said will take a week but ended up nearly three and when they left the work was shabby and doors were not screwed properly and basically was falling apart. They left a terrible mess on our property and charged us an extortionate amount of money for absolute rubbish, most of the kitchen was not what we ordered and handles were the wrong type….. can go on and on but what’s the point lost 16000 pounds, customer services did not want to know when we contacted them and they still haven’t rectified the mess. 

We bought a kitchen for 10k in 2006. It was supposed to be fitted in 3 days. It was 3 weeks before the gas was connected due to a damaged oven being delivered. We went without an oven for this period. The workman who fitted the kitchen was not a space kitchens employee as we were told we would get. He was a local contractor and told us he could have obtained an identical kitchen from B&Q and fitted it for less than 3K.

In 2018 we removed the fitted fridge to replace it with a free standing one. What I found, shocked me. Exposed wires were coming out of one wall and into another wall. They couldn't even run it inside the plaster board. And two large holes in the plasterboard.

I have also had to remove and reinstall a high cupboard because it was falling off the wall. The reason for this was that incorrectly rated fittings had been used.

Absolutely disgraceful and unsafe workmanship.

Avoid like the plague.

'Space Kitchens - the ones that can pay for themselves'. Big mistake agreeing to let sale rep into my house to quote for a new kitchen. He was in my house for over 4 hours supposedly designing a bespoke kitchen. This was followed by the hard sell and denigration of all other rivals (Magnet etc). Informed me that the quality was next to none and the sample he showed me didn't look too bad.

When the kitchen was delivered it became clear that much of the bespoke work would be done on site by what turned out to be the worst kitchen installer you could imagine. He even fixed one of the cupboards to the back door frame. When I held back the balance of money due I was harassed for weeks by someone who sounded like he had relatives in the Mafia. Needless to say he eventually turned up at my house and wormed his way in. I showed him the things that I was extremely unhappy about and he agreed to get these put right if I paid off half the balance. I did this and the guys idea of putting things right was to get replacement parts sent to my address for me to fit myself. Needless to say the kitchen began falling apart slowly over the next few years and the built in appliances (Teka) had to be replaced within two years. If this company is still trading I would warn anyone not to fall for the hard sell. Better still don't approach them for a quote.

NEVER, EVER USE THEM.

THE COMPANY SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN.

Fortunately this outfit have gone just bust.

I had dealings with them in 2001/2 and every negative review here rings true with me. The salesman came late, stayed till midnight and was pressuring us to take the special offer that just had to be signed off on that day/night. We were offered very low credit terms which clinched the deal. To be honest, we were so tired by then we signed when we should have taken a breather. When the paperwork finally arrived we found that the credit terms APR had been changed and was much higher than we had signed against. When we called the head office a very rude woman rubbished our complaints and said that my 'foreign wife' must have misunderstood what the salesman had said.

I took the matter to our excellent local Trading Standards and they got our deposit back (after long delays caused by Space Kitchens and dodgy cheques). We did, however, have to collect the cheque in person from them as previous ones were 'lost in the post'!

My (now ex-) partner appeared on a Channel 5 Tv show about rogue builders/traders that interviewed her and then pranked a sales rep from Space Kitchens.

Anyway, the crappy outfit are in administration now and with luck that will be the end of them. I never saw the end product so i can't comment on the actual quality of the kitchens but I am not surprised to read that they were shoddy. I wish the owners nothing but misery.

A salesman came out and said the price we were quoted was only that price for that day... My self and now husband being only 21 at the time and excited signed the paper with the agreement being we could change our minds within 7 days... Tried to cancel and they took 4x £400 Payments out of our account. No kitchen and the bank couldn't help as we had given our details. Solicitor clawed some £££ back but we were still £800 down and the solicitor took his fee out if the £400 cheque we had back!! Total rip offs and very unprofessional

We had our kitchen fitted by space kitchens and it came with a duel fuel range cooker, we have just had to get a new range as the old one is in its last legs,the gas fitter came today to fit new cooker,but he couldn't as the electric part of the cooker has not been properly earthed or connected to the fuse box,it is just plugged in to an extension,which looks like it has been burning through, I now have to pay for an electrician to come and sort this out before the gas can be connected and the cooker finally fitted, to quote the gas fitter its a wonder my house hasn't burnt down.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OUR KITCHEN FLOODED AND PLUMBER SAID WE HAD A CASE FOR DOMINIC LITTLEWOOD THE WORKMANSHIP WAS SO BAD!!!!

Hi,

I use to work for Space kitchens as salesman in maidstone kent.Job market was at its worse at that time and i couldnt find a job.eventually i was offered kitchen designer role with space kitchen which sounded promising and was glad to have a job once again.it all seemed good until i was sent out to somebody's house as a trainee with a senior kitchen designer/salesman who happened to be our bosses nephew.i realized there and then what it was all about.Uncle and nephew seemed as if they were born to do this to peoplewhereas i would rather starve to death.

One thing I will point out.Please Please dont hate the salesmen especially if he is a young lad trying hard but holding back,shy kind of person(me).I was at college,living away and had an empty fridge.never claimed any benefits and dont plan to ever.Some people do it due to there difficult circumstances.

So if you are expecting one because somebody talked you into booking an appointment,go easy on Salesman,,, Unless its one of those dodgy one's and trust me you would know.

In the end,British people have a lot of patience and were nice.Whatever you do in the end,Dont buy anything from space kitchens especially on finance.

Bits and pieces are falling off my cuboards I had to have my tiles fitted by someone else not space kitchens im just discuted with all of it for the price I paid!!!!
