A COUPLE who paid more than £30k for their dream kitchen have said they have been left with a nightmare months later.
Michelle Reid and her partner Craig Kappen agreed to have work done by Northern Traditional Homes Ltd at their home in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
The building company came recommended to them so they did not hesitate to pay a £10,000 deposit in September 2022 after spending 18 months planning the extension to their house.
The couple agreed a 12-week build time with director Paul Galsworthy, who Michelle says promised they would have their dream kitchen in picture perfect in time for Christmas with their daughters, 23 and 21, and their 15-year-old son.
However, seven months later and 32k down, the family are still living in a building site, with no kitchen, no power and leaking radiators.
