“Alex helped us to design our dream kitchen. He worked with us and listened carefully to what we did and didn’t want with regard to functionality and design. We felt we were guided and given great ideas and inspiration every step of the way. The guys were always responsive and communication was very good (even on evenings and weekends where necessary). The fitting of the kitchen was straightforward and Pete the fitter worked well with our builder and tradesmen. His craftsmanship was second to none. Would highly recommend this company. Great products, super design and nice people to deal with.”
