Great service from a great team

Simon and Dan in the office were great. Delivery was when I wanted it and very prompt. Rob the driver did an amazing job of negotiating a tricky windy driveway for us and carefully avoiding power lines etc. Can’t rate them all highly enough. Thank you.

Incorrect item sent

Updated review:
Initially an incorrect item was sent and a replacement was also incorrect. I ordered online and it seems the web content was not accurate (the issue was the dimensions of a drain gully). I used the number below to contact customer service and got a refund. It maybe better to use the website to find products and if there is any doubt order using phone etc. Web content and associated chat / self service needs improvement

Reply from Frank Key

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your kind words about our service and transport team. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the delay in delivering your final bulk bag.

Unfortunately, the vehicle did experience a hydraulic hose burst during delivery, which required a temporary repair and cleanup. While we initially planned to have your bag delivered first thing the next morning, there was an internal communication oversight regarding the repair status. This resulted in your bag not being scheduled for re-delivery as intended. We sincerely apologise for this mistake and the delay it caused.

As soon as the issue came to our attention, we made it a priority to get your bag delivered. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.

Thank you for you order, and we hope to see you again soon.

Yes,Frank Key do kitchens!

We hadn’t even heard that Frank Key designed and suppled kitchens until our, also excellent kitchen fitter Rich suggested we try them. Having your whole kitchen removed and replaced is never going to be a breeze, however Ben at FK made the experience as painless as possible! We now have a beautiful and practical kitchen finished to a high standard with quality products, thank you all.
