Alex Kraus

Director of Design

Alex is extremely proud to head up our Kitchens. He comes very much from a technical background and will not leave a detail unturned. He has a very casual approach to discussions with clients with the intent of making the whole process as informal, personal and enjoyable as possible. Alex is extremely knowledgeable in both product as well as all areas of installation which has led to many professionals in the kitchen sector calling on him over the years for help and advice.

Chelsea Rickatson

Her passion for people transpires with her positive attitude at work where she will always strive to achieve quality customer service with smile on her face.

Founder

Chris has held a passion for kitchen & bathroom design and interiors for over twenty year and is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. His successful kitchen and bathroom business is driven on a philosophy that design should be more than just choosing from a standard set of products. It should be a highly personalised design led experience with consideration towards all aspects of the interior tailored specifically to each individual client. Chris loves spending weekends away with his family in his camper van and also touring Europe on his motorcycle.

“I cannot recommend this company enough… from the consultation through to the end result. Friendly yet professional. The workmen were tidy and we were happy for them to have a key and come and go as they needed.”
