New kitchen Post Reply

[MPat]

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new kitchen in a modern shaker style, similar to the ones Harvey Jones supply. Budget is probably more Magnet than Harvey Jones!
I want to use a reputable company in case we have any problems in the future.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Balmain London did ours (shop on Broomwood Rd opposite the end of Northcote Rd) and we are still very pleased with it 3 years later. Perhaps not the cheapest, but great personal service and not HJ prices.

John Lewis of Hungerford are great. Or, maybe look at Howdens?

They are high quality, well priced and fully bespoke. If you have a floor plan you can ask for an initial quote ; they got back to me promptly and have been great to deal with. The owner Tim Higham lives in sw London so can measure up.
They have just finished building and painting our kitchen and we will be having it installed soon. Very happy so far.

I'd recommend Howdens kitchens - they are very reasonably priced and good quality.

It helps to know exactly what you're after though, I did a ton of research before settling on them so didn't get bamboozled by sales talk and ended up with exactly the kitchen I'd wanted.

Otherwise Benchmarx is supposed to be very good but I don't have personal experience.

I used Jewson on carnworth road in Fulham. AMAZING service, very bespoke and on a par with magnet. Dennis is the guy I dealt with and couldn't recommend him highly enough.

We got our shaker style cabinets and solid oak work tops from IKEA! Four years later we are still delighted with the quality of it. You wouldn't guess in a million years that it came from ikea. It was half the price of other local kitchen companies.

Hi Nicole
I am a local mum, in Clapham and work part time for a company who can supply this type of kitchen. I got my kitchen recently done by them, and it looks great, Nolte is their supplier.
Check out their website www.lifestylebyasq.co.uk they have a showroom just off Clapham Park road in Abbeville mews if you would like to pop in. Telephone 0207 7203082
Happy shopping.

Interesting feedback about Jewson - I also went via Dennis at the Fulham branch. Although their sales service was excellent, I would not go through them again as their after sales service was appalling. One of the panels arrived split, and it took numerous phone calls and months of chasing for them to send through a replacement. When they finally did, it was a size too big, so we had to go through it all again. We also ordered a corner cupboard - the 'magic' system, but we were sent the one for a left hand opening when we needed the right hand opening version. They blamed the delivery guys who apparently had sent the wrong versions to different households.
In hindsight we should have gone with Magnet - Balham branch. Would have saved a lot of headaches.

There used to be a showroom on Battersea Park Road for Unpainted Kitchens, by where I lived at the time. I went in and found them really helpful and friendly, plus they were excellent value and good quality. Taking a look at their website it seems they're relocating. http://www.unpaintedkitchens.com/

Otherwise, I know Plain English have a cheaper range now. Can't remember what it's called but I'm sure they'd be able to tell you. It doesn't have a lot of styles, but they're essentially Shaker style so would be the type of thing you're looking for.

We're looking to do our kitchen and have just been to Neptune kitchens on Wandsworth Bridge Road whose kitchens were beautiful. Does anyone have any experience with them?

If you want to stick to budget then Howdens is worth a visit.
They are trade only although can out you in touch with kitchen fitters who will but and fit the kitchen for you. If you do have your own company it's pretty easy to set up account.
The quality is very high, even their lowest level kitchens are better than say Wickes, B&Q and IKEA.
The brochure if very chunky and worth looking through.

If you don't have mega cash to splash then Howdens are great! I've done x3 magnet kitchens in the not so distant past and can say tat my recent experience with Howdens (& the quality of the units) is WAY better!
