Kitchen Advice

[luckycharm2]

Hiya,

I am planning on getting my Kitchen and Bathroom re done soon, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any Bathroom suppliers who are good, I have already been recommended to Kitchens at Sunbury Cross by a friend of mine who had her kitchen done by them and loves it, and after going there and spending time with them I can see why!
However I am struggling to find a Bathroom showroom that has products that I actually love and who the sales team actually listen to you and are not just seeing you as commission. If anyone could let me know of any good bathroom showrooms locally I would be grateful. Thank you :)

I would also be interested to hear any recommendations for kitchen or bathroom suppliers as well as reputable builders in the Reigate / Surrey area!

The builder that we are using is John Shopland, he is brilliant he will give you a free quote so you can find out if he is right for you. I can give you his number if you like. I would advise you to go with Kitchens @ Sunbury, if you give them a ring they will come to you!
Let me know if you hear of any good bathroom suppliers :)

Re kitchens, lovely company advertising with us on Kingston site, www.kitchensuponthames.co.uk/. Worth a contact maybe to see what they can do!

I have been there, they charge to do a design and to be honest they were not that helpful, thank you though.

Not sure of your exact whereabouts but we will be ordering our kitchen from Howdens
We had one of their kitchen in our previous place and were sad to see it go!
DP is a builder and will fit it himself but they came and measured up and did plans for free :)
Good luck, hope you find something that suits you soon!

Hello Luckycharm,

We did a wet room a couple of years ago and used E&B Bathroom showroom, who are based in Horley. They were recommended by a good friend. They managed the whole project for us.

They have a local showroom in Horley, but due to the size did not have everything on show, but with the help of catalogues and visits to other bathroom showrooms, we knew what design we wanted. They offered us the design service, which was free (bear in mind that was 2 years ago, so don't know if that has changed).

When we were looking for quotes, we also approached J. Mizon (now known as House of building). Their quote was on par with E&B, but they were not too keen on doing a wet room (which was what we wanted) and kept pushing up towards a shower tray option.

Good luck with the work.

Hiya,

I just wanted to pass on who I bought my stunning kitchen from!

This company is brilliant, honest and hard working - if anyone is dreaming of a truly bespoke kitchen (without the massive price tag) then you've got to try The English Rose Kitchen Company - www.the-english-rose.co.uk

I cant stop telling everyone I know how happy I am!!! (My husbands friends have got a Martin Moore Kitchen and we think ours looks a hundred times better!!!!!!!) :-)

hello samantha13
Having read your suggestion I have asked English Rose kitchen company for a quote. I have even been to visit their workshop. They seem really lovely people but did you get a kitchen from them? Can you recommend their work or do you know anyone who has actually got an ERKC kitchen and would recommend them?

Hi LeeBee24.

Sorry for the late response!

Yes, we have a kitchen from The English Rose and its beautiful!! We are both so happy with it and they're attention to detail (design & installation) was amazing!

I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM!!

Oooo, I loved going to their workshop, we found it very exciting to see how our perfect kitchen was going to be made - What did you think?

Good luck with your kitchen!! :-)

beware of this builder. We used him. good quote but lots of hidden charges later on. no transparency, always avoided quoting for extra work but later charged much higher than going rate. he even tried to charge twice for tiling some areas. he uses east europeans. Pays them by the day and makes then work 12-15 hours then charges you exorbitant rates by the metre. Things have gone wrong but he never comes out to check or fix even though legally he is supposed to. some of the work is poor and some of the materials used have been cheap. I would NOT recommend him.
