Kitchens job in IP13

We bought our own kitchen. Chris and Kev fitted it. Very friendly, and got the job completed on time nearly, but that was partly our fault. Very pleased with the kitchen they fitted for us, Got a bit fed up with being told we should have bought a benchmark kitchen. They did have some good ideas and this helped to get the Kitchen WE WANTED. Everyone who has been around have liked it. IKEA good value for money if not maybe the best on the market. Worth consulting with Chris & Kev before buying your own.

Kitchens job in IG6

Initially my husband and I only wanted new kitchen and bathrooms, we ended up also having new windows, doors and some painting job done. We chose Chris and Kev simply based on the positive comments and high rating in this website, and I totally agree with all the comments. Also I considered that the project could be done more quickly by 2 persons and I was right. The whole project took about 2 months, a little bit longer than our expectation but it wasn’t their fault, it was just us kept adding things and some manufacturers’ faults which delayed the project. I am not going to repeat what people had already mentioned in their comments. But there are lots of other positive things I can say about them. Chris and Kev gave us a lot of professional and useful advice on choosing kitchen units, tiles and all other stuff. I remember once I had chosen the tiles they turned up the following day with loads of tile samples, in which some of them were Chris’s recommendation. I immediately abandoned my original choices as Chris apparently has better taste than me. Thanks Chris I really like the new tiles in my house! One thing I have to mention, after the new cupboards had been put up to the wall, Kev found that the splash board was too big to fit into the space between the cupboards. Both my husband and I thought Kev would cut the splash board smaller which was the easiest option to us; instead he took all the cupboards down and put back up again to make wider space for the board. His thoughtfulness was much appreciated as it obviously would take him more time and energy to do that. Thanks Kev you deserve a big breakfast! Although some items were wrongly ordered, Chris and Kev were so willing to make things right in order to keep their customers happy. They even helped my old lady neighbour to change the light bulb (and also something else but I can’t remember….sorry) it’s very nice of them, my neighbour couldn’t praise them enough. They were also very good with my 18months old baby and 2 dogs. When I found out one of dogs had serious illness during the final stage of the project, I gave them very short notice that I wanted to have some quiet time and asked them not to come that evening. Chris and Kev were very understanding and thoughtful, they came another day instead. Sadly my dog passed away just the day before final completion. My husband and I both happy with their work, we are hoping to win the jackpot next week then buy a bigger house, and call Chris and Kev again for another project! Once again thank you so much guys! Conclusion: Reasonable price, highly recommended :-)

Building job in IP4

Chris and Kevin were extremely hardworking, accomodating and flexiable. They took our original idea and improved upon it. The project was completed within budget and we wouldn't hesitate in recomending them and will hopefully call upon their services for future project.
