This is my second kitchen from Funktional Kitchens, not because the previous one (which was 12 year's old) was in poor condition but because I changed the layout of the room by creating a kitchen diner. Vicky visited and gave advice on the design prior to the building work taking place, which was invaluable as she pointed out things which I hadn't thought of. She could have advised me to replace all the cupboards and start again, but where possible we kept the cupboards and changed the doors and panels, giving the kitchen a new look. Alison and Marie were great; giving advice on appliances and money saving ideas. All in all they were a great team. I am so pleased with the end result and would recommend Funktional Kitchens

We had our kitchen installed with Funktional Kitchens Just over 2 years ago. We chose them over a larger chain as their design proposal was good and gave a cleaner look than we had managed to come up with ourselves, plus the Which award goes along way on trusting their work. They were accommodating to our needs when we needed to shift installation date, however things started to go wrong on the install. We had several frustrating experiences the worst being the wrong worktop being installed, we notified them of the mistake and they said it would be fixed within two weeks. We called up after two weeks to find nothing had been done, no new work top ordered. This all got resolved in the end and Alison was very good at helping to turn around our problems. These projects always have there issues and some were flagged prior to install. However this work top has now blown in several places around the sink as the workmen didn't seal the sink well enough and didn't varnish the cut in the work top with varnish so if the seal did break it wouldn't penetrate the wood and make it blow. We are now looking at replacing this worktop again after only 2 years and this I find unacceptable. We payed a premium for the quality of the kitchen and it's installation yet we'll have to pay another thousand pounds to replace our worktop.

Funktional Kitchens were not aware that this worktop had “blown “until this review. Laminate worktops can suffer if there is excess water around sink areas which are not dried off properly. Had the customer reported it promptly we would have been able to supply a replacement but as a period of 2 years had passed and we were not made aware of the situation, we were not able to assess or rectify this situation for them.
Thrilled with our new kitchen

My husband I I had no idea what we wanted our new kitchen to look like. All we knew was that we had friends with a ‘Funktional Kitchen’ and we loved it. Vicky and Alison at Funktional managed to interpret our vague ideas and produce a beautiful design which exceeds everything that we could have imagined. The team gave us helpful advice along the way-great technical drawings for our builders to work from. They even gave me advice on striping our old kitchen by ourselves. I’m proud to say that I managed this with just 4 tips to the trip in a small car. Mac and his team (their fitters) were wonderful and took such pride in their work, making tiny adaptions to the plan as required to get the look exactly right. Our kitchen fits so beautifully with our Victorian house whilst still being modern. It is a world away from the ‘high street’ kitchen that we had before. We even had the worktops made higher to save my back (I’m super tall), and a fridge freezer with extra freezer space because I love making ice cream. We are so, so glad that we chose Funktional Kitchens. Great work team!

We had our Funktional kitchen fitted 3 years ago. Vicky’s eye for design is fantastic. She was able to suggest a practical and clean design that perfectly suited our family. She suggested we change our kitchen diner the other way around so we were able to fit in the bi fold doors we had hankered after but couldn’t make work. Also we were able to have the larder that would not have fitted in the original design. Our John Lewis fridge freezer broke down this week (not purchased through Funktional) and Mac popped around to put the new one in free of charge. The fitters were always polite and on time. All mess was cleared away promptly. Thank you so much Funktional

We spent a lot of time visiting kitchen shops and getting designs done and obtaining quotes. A friend recommended Funktional kitchens and we were very impressed with the service provided. Vicky has a lot of experience and quickly understood our needs and designed a wonderful kitchen. She also suggested other changes like bi-folding doors to the rear of the kitchen to add the wow factor. We used builders recommended by Funktional kitchens. They were outstanding. They started the work while we went on holiday for two weeks. When we returned the kitchen was then installed professionally, quickly and with minimum fuss. Our finished kitchen looks amazing, my wife has the island she always wanted and the kids have a breakfast bar. Thanks to Vicky it is also extremely Funktional!

Funktional Kitchens designed and installed a fantastic kitchen for our large family of 6! They spent a lot of time with us ensuring that it was exactly what we wanted and needed. Attention to all the details was given and nothing overlooked which has resulted in a brilliant and very functional and beautiful space. Great design and wonderful helpful service and would highly recommend them. We are so happy with our easy run and beautiful kitchen and living space. Thank you

After meeting with co-owner Vicky, she & the team helped create and transform our ideas into a quite wonderful kitchen area. Their vision, advice and knowledge of products was excellent and they incorporated our plans where other kitchen providers had stone-walled us, as it wasn't 'standard'. The design and foresight was 1st class and could not be faulted in any way. They fitted the kitchen with meticulous detail ensuring each and every aspect was done to perfection. In fact, the finish was so good, we ended up featuring in an 8 page magazine article on kitchens! And all down to Funktional Kitchens. Thank you. They are highly recommended.

Poor quality design and service but a great product

We spent a great deal of time considering who to go with to help us design and install our new kitchen. Unfortunately Funktional Kitchens gave us poor advice in regards to the design (they were unable to measure accurately and we had to change plans at the last minute); we clearly stated from the start that we wanted external extraction but after having 3 different extractors installed we have ended up with a recirculating one due to poor knowledge and advice; the fitter was extremely rude and unhelpful, having to return several times over a period of 3 months to complete work which could have been done at the start if they had been proactive and taken pride in what they do. Fortunately the cabinetry is extremely good quality and we love our new kitchen, but the process has been painful and as it was very expensive I feel the advice and customer service should have been of a much higher quality. I would not recommend this company.

Funktional Kitchens thank all its customers for feedback, albeit good or bad. We pride ourselves in our customer service, products and design team and when a project does not go to plan we are committed to resolve any issues and see projects through to completion. On this job there was a measurement error made by the designer which was dealt with promptly, remedial parts ordered and fitted free of charge. While waiting for parts to arrive from Germany the kitchen was fully functional. The extractor issue was due to the builders being unable to fit a suitably sized duct hose in the ceiling. We tried a reducer kit but with this particular extractor it became noisy. We tried a number of alternative options but the duct size proved to be an issue for most models. Due to this problem we had no choice but to recirculate the extractor. Our fitting team have been with us for over thirteen years and pride themselves with full knowledge of our products, working hard to rectify any issues on site. Funktional Kitchens have taken note of the errors made by this designer and can confirm that he no longer works for our company. We are confident that all our customers get the best design and service that we expect for our clients. We are sorry to get this feedback but are confident this is a very rare occurrence and are sure that the testimonials on our website show the confidence and quality of not only our products and design ability but also our fantastic fitting team.
Great work from Funktional Kitchens!

We had a new kitchen put in as part of an extension. We were impressed by all the staff we met: by Emma and Alison's design abilities and with the care they took to explain everything, and with Steve who installed the kitchen.

Funktional Kitchens designed and installed a new kitchen to my new extension. From my first visit to the Funktional Kitchen shop, the detail and care provided was of very high quality. They have years of experience so were very good at giving advice on what would work and what wouldn't work. The designers are very experienced and have great ideas. They used brilliant digital technology to show me what the kitchen would look like all on a large screen in 3D as if I was walking into my new kitchen so you could see it from every angle and in different layouts and colours. I felt very comfortable asking questions, changing my mind and nothing was too much trouble. The plans provided and the detailed paperwork was very helpful, especially as I was also dealing with builders at the same time. Funktional Kitchens carried out site visits regularly to ensure that the measurements were all correct and going according to their plans. On the day the kitchen was delivered, their fitter attended site and checked through all the items to ensure it was all ready to be fitted the following day. Care and detail was taken in the fitting and I was surprised at how perfectly it all went. All of the staff were very helpful and the products they have are of fantastic quality. They had a very wide range of cupboard finishes and colours as well as splashbacks and appliances. I couldn't be happier with my kitchen.
