Ratings are overall and encompass a number of different assessments

Alongside our survey, we've assessed kitchen units in lab conditions to see whether they're worthy of a Best Buy logo. 

When these were combined with ratings from our survey, brands need to score more than 70% overall to be in with the chance of a Best Buy award.

You can find out more about our lab tests by visiting our how we test kitchens page.

We also asked customers to rate specific elements, including value for money and durability, on a seven-point scale from very poor to excellent.

B&Q kitchen installation

In our survey, we also asked kitchen owners about the installation process. Not enough people answered for us to be able to rate B&Q for its installation.

However, we did install B&Q's units in our lab, so have some insight into how easy it is. Log in or join Which? to find out what we thought.

Head over to our kitchen installation page to see how Ikea, John Lewis, Magnet, Wickes and Wren Kitchens were rated.
