Kitchen company recommendations please
dinneenp
Hi,
Getting a new kitchen soon and have been to a few companies. I'm looking for recommendations, experiences etc. please? Are there any companies further afield than Galway that people have used?
Thanks,
Pa.

+1 for Kreation. Dealt with them a few years ago, great quality kitchen, 4 years later it’s as good as the day it went in.

Joe Golden (Moycullen Woodworks) installed our kitchen recently. Great to deal with and the fit and finish of the kitchen is excellent.

William Joyce Moycullen did a really lovely job on our kitchen, all non standard measurements and awkward corners.
He helped with the planning and the kitchen works so well for us. He is an excellent carpenter and very nice to deal with.

Be careful with <snip>
He is a kitchen supplier of choice for builders around town, if you are buying a new build house you're likely to be stuck with him as I was twice. He demands full payment upfront before any work is done and if anything goes wrong or you don't like something or complain, he will suddenly become really thick and go defensive.
Speaking of quality - if he is doing your kitchen and it is a laminated chipboard worktops you're getting - he (or whoever his assembly guys are) tend to chip out on sealant around the sink, cooker and on the back of the worktops. In my case they did not use sealant when installing the sink - none at all! Naturally the chipboard started bulging around the sink in less then a week. When I got back to him asking to fix it he, himself, told me "you're not supposed to have water there on the worktop" and ultimately refused to do anything about it!
There were other things I discovered over time with the way things are assembled, nothing too bad and mostly in the places where no one can see it, but it just shows the attitude of the assembly guys towards the job they do.
On the plus side - they have a wide variety of materials, fittings etc., are accommodating on designs and the parts that the manufacture or order are generally very good quality.
The problems are with the quality of assembly and much more so with the attitude.
So if you have to use <snip>, do not pay all money upfront, check everything before accepting the results and make sure its all done to your satisfaction before handing on the money.

Brilliant...used them 2 years ago and nothing but a pleasure to deal with....
Mostly Harmless
Finlay Kitchens (Tuam Rd opposite Colm Quinn BMW) did our kitchen one year ago, very happy with the service from start to finish and no issues with anything so far. Price was competitive compared with anywhere else we got a quote.
