Clarke Kitchens - www.clarkekitchens.com

We recently renovated our home, part of which included putting in a new fitted kitchen. We checked out 3 kitchen companies and then our builder recommended we visit Clarke Kichens as he had got his kitchen from them 8 years ago. From the moment I walked into their premises in Toughers Business Park (between Naas and Newbridge) I could see the quality of their Kitchens was far superior to the 3 competitors We had already been to. I arranged to meet [name removed] the owner later that day with my husband to discuss our requirements. Within an hour we had a deal and I have not looked back since. Something important to mention is that The 3 other kitchen companies wanted 50 percent deposit up front and 50 percent prior to installation. Then if we went with them, we would have to pay a separate person to install the kitchen. I wasn't happy with having to pay all upfront and then have a non related person to install the kitchen!

Therefore, in addition to a superior product (most notably the press carcasses), Clarke kitchens were different here too. I only had to pay 33 percent deposit, 33 percent just prior to installation and the balance after the kitchen was installed and we were totally satisfied with the final product. Further bonus being that it was installed by employees of Clarke kitchens.

The installers were very professional and everything turned out exactly if not better than we had hoped.

3 weeks after the kitchen was installed I called into Martin and asked if they could put in another shelf in my utility room. 1 week later my shelf was in. At no point did I feel that I was inconveniencing them.

My final thing to mention is that the whole family really loves our kitchen and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Clarke Kitchens to family and friends.
