What You're Actually Getting

B&Q offers 12 kitchen ranges across three styles: classic, shaker, and contemporary.

Most ranges come with multiple colour options (the GoodHome Pasilla is the exception). You get matte or glazed finishes, and you can choose between handles or handleless designs.

The setup includes cabinets, worktops, and drawers. Storage is sensible—nothing revolutionary, but enough to keep your kitchen from looking like a crime scene after Tuesday's dinner.

The Price Span:

For context, Wickes starts at £770 (though with limited selections), Homebase ranges from £1,154 to £2,726+, and Magnet climbs to £1,879-£6,919+.

Kitchen Compare named B&Q the "Lowest Priced Leading DIY Retailer of Kitchens" from 2017 through 2021.
