Updated review
11/04/24 Edit Update
I had tried to be fair and reasonable with my original review, however, I have to now update this review to a fuller picture. We were supplied with a team who were not qualified or competent for either gas (against the law) or the necessary electric work and endured significant stressful conditions for the 10 months that it took to resolve everything. We were caused significant out of pocket expenses, genuine fear and inconvenience from the electrical faults, I had to write over 100 emails bringing everything to their attention and following all the faults to resolution. 102 have steadfastly refused to compensate us for the expenses that they caused, stress endured or time taken. I would recommend asking to see up to date qualifications for the team supplied and do not proceed without talking to recent, previous customers. Do not proceed on the very few reports made here compared to the quantity of work that they do. There is a huge amount of customers who have not wanted to leave a review, or, like me did not want to cause any harm to the great individuals working there. Further, 102 do not belong to any trade associations so you will not be able to get any support if you run in to difficulties like us.
I’ve dropped a star because unfortunately we were not happy with the output of our installation team and it took far too long to resolve. However, I have to give 5 stars for everything else.
Julie ‘captured’ us when we walked in to the show room and I honestly thought we couldn’t afford any of their kitchens. They looked soo expensive. She showed us some very reasonable prices though and so we cautiously met Tim, their extraordinary designer. Tim came to our house, understood the building changes we were making and I can’t tell you how much he helped with the final design. I had become completely overwhelmed and just couldn’t make any decisions. Tim didn’t just ‘fit units in to the space’ which is what we experienced elsewhere. Tim thought about where the main cooking triangle needed to be and exactly what units and appliances were needed to accommodate everything at hand. He provided the designs in a software tool that enabled me to see how it would be which was so helpful and allowed me to see some small adjustments I wanted. He was ridiculously patient! Now that it is finished, it is exactly how Tim’s design software showed it and is an absolute joy to use. The quality of the Masterclass units is superb and the quartz tops were so carefully measured and fitted. Although the installation of the kitchen was problematic, Julie was there throughout to listen and guide. (Poor Tim was too at times!). She kept an eye on the completion of everything, checking jobs off and who was doing what and when. She always knew who my husband and I were, what our issues were and was completely on the ball and professional though out. So, much as certain aspects were awful, I have to say that I never felt that we were ‘on our own’. I was always confident that 102 would get it all sorted eventually, and they did. I think that speaks volumes about the overall integrity of the company. Julie and Tim are truly second to none, anywhere, you definitely want them in charge of your new kitchen and you also want the high quality of Masterclass units.
