P J Farrell was recommended to The Man and myself by our architect. We were told "what they don't…read moreknow about kitchens isn't worth knowing" On that strong endorsement, we gave it a go. We walked into a small, but swish looking show room and greeted by who we assumed is the "head" of this family business. He really did know everything. He didn't give us the BS sales patter, he listened to what we wanted, rejoiced in our practicality, and went over various design ideas with us. He showed us different cabinet finishes, different work tops, etc. He expressed an understanding of our budget constraints so when we were informed that one of the cabinet doors we liked was an "8 or 9" on the price scale, while the other was a "2" we asked to see the design/pricing of the "2" doors. After a bit longer than we expected, we were called back to view the design. Unfortunately, they had designed and priced the "8 or 9" doors and while it looked great, the price was far more than what we thought we made clear we could afford. They had some great price-saving ideas and said that they would re-do the design with the "2" doors and let us know. Unfortunately, they never got back in touch. I don't know if we fell under the radar or if they just decided we probably wouldn't be able to afford the cheaper cabinets anyway so decided not to bother with the work. We didn't get back in touch either because we were not pleased having to remind them that they could profit from us, and because we decided to start looking at other options. So, we were left feeling that we liked them but they didn't fully listen to us on our first meeting and seemingly wrote us off as not being able to afford their services. In these economic times I think these upmarket kitchen salesmen need to expand their ideas to cover those of us who are willing to pay more for quality, but don't want to be yanked around in the process.

Initially this company comes across as a great place to buy a kitchen. They have a great showroom…read moreand the staff seem pleasant, informative and knowledgeable. However after clearly outlining our budget we received our quote which was about £5K more than we had anticipated, however because of the quality of the kitchens on offer we decided to push our budget and commit to buying what we believed was a superior kitchen. Work was generally satisfactory although trying to get the tradesmen to respond to our calls and pin them down on dates for completion was a nightmare once the process had started. There was a period of about two weeks when no work went on at all. However, once the work was complete we suddenly found that several additional costs had been added on without consultation and so began a lengthy battle with the company, refusing to pay these unspecified costs. No written or verbal changes to the original quote had been advised by the company and we ended up having to threaten to go to the Ombudsman to get it sorted. Three years down the line and what we thought was a superior kitchen costing a substantial £16K hasn't proved to be the case. We now have one of the doors hanging off and after calling the company, expecting their work to be guaranteed at that price, have been told by rude sales staff that we cannot make an appt to get the work fixed but will just have to keep calling back on the off chance one of their tradesmen is free. On the whole an exceptionally poor experience for a LOT of money.

From boiler repairs/replacement and servicing, complete property refurbishments with kitchen/bathroom plumbing, new central heating systems, leaking toilets just about everything.

I am at the point where I can just hand them the keys to my house and let them take care of the rest. When I need help at short notice they always go the extra mile for me.

They are not decent enough to admit their bad job and mistakes, and are not manful enough to take a bad review as they deleted one I left on their facebook page as well as blocking me from any future comments. And it looks like majority of all the 'great recommendations' left on their sites were simply written by their friends, that implies as well to all the 'likes' they recieved in a couple of days after deleting my comment.

Attention To Detail. Sculleries not only completely…read moretransformed our kitchen, but did work in every room of the house. The service that they offer is simply outstanding, everything from their design work to the finished product to their customer service is fantastic. Having worked with Sculleries I cannot for one second believe that the negative review posted is about the same company! We have had projects at other properties completed at a far higher price than we paid Sculleries and to a level of work not even close to the quality. So to say that their price is competitive is understatement. If you are looking for top quality, high end work I cannot reccommend Sculleries enough. If you are wanting cheap, lower quality work, you should probably shop around - You will get what you pay for.

I have to compliment them on the excellent manner in which they went about the work. They were all very courteous, helpful, pleasant and went out of their way to explain the operation of the new system in simple terms. The installation looks very good and they did a first-rate job of cleaning up all of the work areas. The whole exercise from first enquiry (less than 2 weeks ago) to final completion has been carried out in a most professional manner and I would be more than happy to recommend this excellent firm to any other person looking for a new boiler installation. Their service and workmanship was nothing short of awesome. Mrs C R Sankey
