We've tested heated clothes airers, tumble dryers and dehumidifiers to see which is best – and cheapest – when air-drying alone isn't an option

LOVING THE SPACE TO SOCIALISE AND CHILL.....

This group show us exactly why we created our rehoming rooms with lots of space and areas for the cats to relax, socialise and get used to being around people when the cleaning takes place. For the cats that maybe have to wait slightly longer to find a home, we feel this is a nicer environment for them than individual pens. Think they agree!!

September 2026’s Which? Trusted Trader of the Month: Bluebell Fitted Furniture

We’re delighted to announce that Bluebell Fitted Furniture has been named Which? Trusted Trader of the Month for September 2026!

Based in Cheshire, this company was established in 1992 and designs, builds, and fits high-quality furniture for bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, and more. Endorsed by the scheme for 10 years, this marks the fourth time this outstanding, family-led business has won the accolade.

Bluebell Fitted Furniture is built on care and craftsmanship, employing a full-time workforce instead of subcontractors to take full control of projects from start to finish. They manufacture all their furniture at their factory in Altrincham, using locally sourced products wherever possible. They place customer care and communication at the heart of their model, providing itemised quotes, no misleading or pressurising discounts, and honest communication regarding budget, durability, and lead times.

It’s no surprise they hold an impressive 4.9-star rating based on 261 reviews, with 4.9 stars for both quality and customer service. Customers frequently praise their first-class experience, attention to detail, and focus on listening to customer ideas. Director James Ordsmith shared that he is "most proud of the dedication of our team and the quality of the furniture we create."

Bluebell also invests heavily in its employees and community. The judging panel praised their charity involvement, including donating vouchers to auctions, sponsoring local sports teams, completing the Three Peaks Challenge for a youth charity, and supporting young people through apprenticeships and Work Experience Programmes.

Bluebell displays its Which? Trusted Trader endorsement prominently across promotional material, vans, and showrooms, with James noting that the recognised Which? name gives customers "extra reassurance that they are choosing a reputable company committed to high standards and excellent customer service."

Congratulations to Bluebell Fitted Furniture on this fantastic fourth win!
