Doug Farleigh Kitchens

I’d never heard of Doug Farleigh Kitchens before I came across them online and read their reviews and I’m so glad I did. I wouldn’t bother getting any other quotes if I was you! My new kitchen is phenomenal and has far exceeded my expectations. I am absolutely thrilled with it. Some of their design ideas were pure genius, things I’d never have thought of and they did an amazing job fitting the kitchen around my existing Rayburn. It was a very smooth operation, closely overlooked by Doug with his impeccable eye for detail. The tradesmen he scheduled in were all absolutely lovely and a joy to have around. Their work was of the highest level, all outstanding and professional. I would definitely recommend Doug Farleigh Kitchens to anyone. I now have a truly exceptional kitchen beyond my wildest dreams.

We visited Doug Farleigh stylish kitchen showroom in Ashburton. Doug met us, with Harriet (who places orders & project manages the work) & Joe who designed the kitchen with Doug. They were all very friendly, professional and welcoming. Harriet organised for Doug & Joe to come to our home for 2 hours, to measure & design a fabulous kitchen. They took into account all our requirements & the style of kitchen we were looking for. Joe designed a marvellous shaker Aldana kitchen, & quartz worktops, with centre island, Siemens ovens, large induction hob, Quooker tap/cube system & dishwasher. We were delighted with how quickly they produced the design/quote, (sent to us with pictures to view). Once we gave the go ahead the kitchen was ordered, with updates and schedule given to us by Harriet very quickly, for fitting 6 weeks later. Doug, Joe and Harriet have always been very helpful, proactive with advice and ordering. Harriet has been in regular communication throughout all the planning, ordering & work, managing the trades doing the kitchen, (which was extensive, with removal of kitchen, flooring & redoing electrics/plumbing and fitting kitchen. Doug has an excellent fitter 'Rowan' and very good tradesmen. The schedule was always running to time and Harriet kept us well informed of what was happening. Good attention to detail. The kitchen is wonderful & small snagging items have been dealt with promptly by Harriet & Doug. We would definitely recommend Doug Farleigh kitchens.

As the title to this review says, Doug Farleigh Kitchens was outstanding throughout every stage, from the initial enquiry through to the design, to the installation and beyond. From the moment we set foot in Doug Farleighs wonderful shop in Ashburton to the completion of our dream kitchen, Doug’s attention to detail shone through time and time again. The whole choice & design stage was completely non-pressure, friendly, relaxed and with a lot of patience sprinkled on top! Harriet, the project manager then produced a complete calendar of works so we knew exactly what trades we had coming and when. She was always on the end of a phone or WhatsApp (even when off duty on occasions). There was just such a piece of mind which made the whole process so stress free. Doug is very hands on overseeing the installation, checking that the craftsmanship is to the highest standard, Doug is a perfectionist and it shows. The finer detail that he notices is so refreshing in this day and age. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, even when late changes were made. The aftercare has been exemplary too with Doug visiting more than once following completion to check we were happy with everything. Doug’s passion and his relentless energy for getting you absolutely everything you could possibly want out of a kitchen sets him above and beyond. We have no hesitation in recommending Doug Farleigh Kitchens to anyone looking for a quality kitchen with outstanding service throughout.

Doug Farleigh and his team designed and managed the build of a new kitchen. Everything was seamless from start to finish. Every member of the team was excellent - on the design side from Doug and Cathy who listened carefully to what we wanted and came up with a great design that really worked for us, Harriet on scheduling and sourcing of white goods and Rowan who was an ace kitchen installer. Doug also kept oversight over the whole process and communication was excellent. We are thrilled with our kitchen and it includes details which we would not have thought of ourselves, but which we now would not want to be without. We cannot recommend Doug and his team highly enough.

Doug Farleigh and his team were absolutely fantastic from the very beginning of our project right through to the end. They were a calm, confident presence, and always ready to answer any questions we had. Cathy's designs were superb and every detail was thought through. They offer great value for the high quality of their workmanship and I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

Doug and his skilled team redesigned our kitchen, utility and downstairs bathroom. This was very complicated and included having a new floor and underfloor heating put in. They moved the sink and dishwasher areas too and supported us with a temporary kitchen: there was some unexpected pipe work that needed hiding and came up with some nice cladding that actually really made the kitchen come together. Doug and the team were great with communication, and giving us solutions to unexpected challenges. His team also organised the whole team so that everyone knew where they needed to be when. The whole project took about eight weeks. They were a delight to have in the house.

Delighted with the new kitchen extension by Doug Farleigh. Seamless process from design to installation. Excellent communication at all times and really helpful suggestions to maximise use of space and thoughtful design details. Can’t recommend highly enough.

An excellent company. The work involved creating a new kitchen whilst retaining some of the older Victorian features such as original cupboards, dresser, and fireplace. The end result looks fantastic; the new kitchen is crisp and light with plenty of worktop space and clever storage solutions. Their attention to detail, knowledge of all aspects of kitchen design and commitment to quality were faultless. From initial visit, through to completion, communication and project management were excellent with all queries answered quickly. This extended to their team of trades who turned up on time and delivered high quality results.

We chose Doug Farleigh from a long list of quotes because we felt that they showed all of the qualities we were looking for: professionalism, organisation, creativity in design, communication, scheduling and customer care. We were not disappointed. Our house is a 17th century cottage and has all of the delights and problems which come with that. We wanted a modern, light, kitchen which also maintained the character of the cottage. The initial design showed a complete understanding of that and then a willingness to listen and work with us to tweak it a bit to get exactly what we wanted. They worked with us and managed to fit in the work for a period when we were away from home to minimise disturbance. During the work, they kept us informed at all stages of the progress. The workmen - carpenter, electrician, plumber, decorator and tiler were all first class craftsman and very polite and pleasant people. Doug Farleigh himself took a personal interest and a professional pride in the work. He came and visited us several times before the work started, went with us to the worktop suppliers to advise on our choice and ensured that all the work was done to a high standard and that we were satisfied with all aspects before sending the final invoice. Kathy, the designer and Harriet, the office manager were both highly efficient and very skilled. We have a wonderful kitchen which has answered all of our needs and in which we love to spend time.

Our builder recommended Doug Farleigh Kitchens and we weren’t disappointed. Very helpful with the design but always happy to accommodate our suggestions. The finished kitchen was exactly as the same as the virtual images we were shown and small changes we made during fitting were no problem. Overall we were very satisfied with the process from start to finish.
