Having shopped around several companies prior to Kutchenhaus, I’d seen it all. Designers giving you what THEY want and not what you want, saying things like ‘of course you’ll want a quartz top’ without even having a conversation about it (I.e adding a few grand on).
I wrongly thought they would be much more expensive and out of my budget but went into the Stockton Heath showroom in Warrington and found that they were very fairly and competitively priced. Even having example prices of some of the set ups on display.
Everything was very relaxed, absolutely no pressure and most importantly they really listen to what you want whilst perfecting your ideas.
By the time I had chosen Kutchenhaus I knew what I wanted and had a mock design drawn up myself along with a list of likes, must haves and what I didn’t like. The salesman stayed very true to my design but perfected and refined it with things I hadn’t thought about. Most importantly (somehow) kept it it to budget.
One of the things I appreciated the most was a level of honesty that I didn’t experience anywhere else. He was far from a typical ‘kitchen salesman’. He was open about which extras were not worth paying extra for and explained why in relation to my kitchen. He also presented me options for the kitchen at both high end and more price conscious (which was actually slightly below the budget I gave him). Most companies would just show you the all singing all dancing version and tried to take you for all you’re worth. After a couple of meetings I agreed on a design somewhere in between the two. What really impressed me was he would make sure that I didn’t get carried away and kept me close to budget. He would show me different ideas for things like backsplashes; not because they cost any more/less than each other, but because he wanted it to be perfect just as much as I did.
There were a few unavoidable stock issues due to a combination of COVID and Brexit. However he went above and beyond to ensure that everything was there on time for installation, even upgrading my washing machine to achieve this.
I used a recommended builder to do the installation. He was very respectful and left everything immaculately clean and tidy after each day. His eye for detail for my kitchen was even more exact than my own. He thought of things that I hadn’t; bringing me a selection of spotlights to chose from and went over the EXACT placement of each. Same with the placement of the island, plug sockets and TV to the centre-metre. We would chat at the beginning and end of each day to discuss what would be done that day and what the plan was for the next day. Everything was done on time and nothing was left for me to worry about as the two guys took care of absolutely everything. Also the fitting came bang on the estimate.
The result is a very high quality kitchen that not only looks the part but is solid and robust. It has been in a few months now and there have been absolutely zero snags and looks just as good as the day it was installed. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and still can’t believe it’s mine!
I could not fault Kutchenhaus Warrington at any point of the process or the quality of the kitchen itself, which is outstanding. The kitchen somehow looks even better than the plans. I would fully recommend Kutchenhaus Warrington to anyone looking for a kitchen.
