About

Checkers of Churchtown – The One Stop Shop to a beautiful home.

When you think home design, one of the first things that springs to mind is Checkers of Churchtown. After 34 years of trading in Southport, this family run business really does have the answers to everything.

Checkers of Churchtown are a traditional DIY retailer. They believe passionately in good friendly service and think you should have the best advice available.
First welcomed by the local community back in 1980, Checkers of Churchtown started out in business selling timber, wallboards, plywood, melamine and beading etc., all of which could be cut to size (a service which is still available at Checkers to present day) They also offered an extensive range of hardware, something quite unusual for a local DIY shop at the time. It was this base that soon led to their huge success in the area and in turn opened new doors for the company, expanding into Kitchens, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Wallpaper and fabrics.

Our forever home

Bespoke fitted sliding door wardrobes in two bedrooms. From initial shop visit, then home measure, to wardrobes completed on schedule, we could not fault the team at Checkers. Delivery was smooth and efficient and the work was carried out to an exceptional high standard by their fitter (D) and his side kick (I) who were passionate about their work. Prompt, hardworking, friendly and an asset to the Company we would not hesitate to recommend. We cannot comment on recall experience, plainly and simply because we have no complaints, however we are certain should the need arise after sales service would no doubt be excellent due to the way the team is organised and focussed. Thank you for making our home into our forever home, we are very grateful.

The kitchen was chosen and fitted within a couple of months, with great workmanship and quality. Can't recommend them too highly. I also contacted them last week regarding some perspex and was given great advice by a lovely lady. The price was great compared to online retailers and it was delivered immediately. Local businesses need our custom and as they are also cheaper then why not.

The kitchen was installed to schedule but despite being a job sheet specified item there was no provision for a plasterer to make good extensive installation damage to walls, at both high and low (work surface) levels. I only found this out when the fitter said he was finished and requested payment. When I told him I was completely taken by surprise and that the kitchen wasn't even watertight and with extensive plasterwork damage he said all he could do was recommend a decorator he knew. I complained to Checkers and was told they hadn't charged for a plasterer and I should follow up on the fitters' recommendation. I did this but couldn't get a date before Christmas. I took photographs to record the state in which the brand new kitchen was installed and forwarded them to Checkers. At no point did Checkers manage or assess the installation work and I was compromised by having paid the fitter when he requested it. I managed to get emergency plaster work done by a contractor I sourced myself, before Christmas, but this was only to get the kitchen watertight and safe around electric fittings. Having used Which recommendations to good effect over our 40 years of membership this trader has left us unhappy with the whole experience. As a totally separate issue, the new Pergo floor had to be taken up because the new kitchen had been plumbed in around a leaking stopcock but Checkers again told me this was not their problem and I should claim on my house insurance.

Checkers have made a wonderful job of our kitchen. The fitters Aron and Josh did a fantastic job, two very polite and conscientious workers. Nothing was too much trouble for them... they did an excellent job. The electricians Ryan and Jo were also excellent workers and Mike Law their boss also popped in to fit the lights. Everything was done to a really high standard and I have nothing but praise for Checkers and their brilliant workers. Thank you... I love my new kitchen.

Checkers has fitted our wardrobes 3 times and each time has been as professional and competent with each one completed. Well done! Tommy and Ken the fitters were prompt on arrival and stayed until each job was finished. Very polite and diligent, no wonder we used Checkers for 3 separate fittings.

The actual work by the joiner was brilliant to be fair but when we had a problem the woman on the phone was an absolute shambles. She was horrible to my self and my partner and needs to learn how to talk to people with respect, never mind customer service. It's a shame because myself and my partner will be doing a lot of work to our home, and we will never be using Checkers of Churchtown again! Horrendous
