Doug Farleigh Kitchens

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.

First class workmanship special mention for Harriet's in the office for her organising and communication skills. All the workman treated our home with complete respect and were all a pleasure to meet. The whole job ran smoothly and on schedule.No hesitation in recommending this company to anyone. I doubt you'll find it's equal.

We had met with a few kitchen specialists who were not quite the right fit for us. Doug is in a different league and we quickly recognised that we would enjoy working with him and his colleagues best. Doug has heaps of hands on experience and knew precisely how to deliver what we had in mind. Together with designer Cathy, they produced and tweaked a plan that matched the way we envisaged using the kitchen. They also patiently gave practical and considered feedback on variables, including authoritatively checking appliance dimensions to helpfully guide us. Harriet co-ordinated efficiently to prepare a brisk schedule: one that proved resilient. She is admirably pro-active and perceptive, with a can-do attitude. Doug has a number of skilled contacts willing at relatively short notice to carry out all manner of related work. We particularly enjoyed working with personable and conscientious glazer Dave. The kitchen project progressed at pace and it was grand to see the new kitchen emerge. Throughout, the team were communicative, with helpful reminders from Harriet of forthcoming activity. The end result is a transformation with which we are delighted. Crisply aligned, sleek cupboards and drawers, in a practical arrangement - with the usable work surface maximised. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Doug and colleagues - and are grateful to them for sharing their skills and knowledge.

Incredibly impressed from the initial consultation, through to the customer service, installation and quality of the units and worktop. All works were completed with the utmost professionalism. I've heard some horror stories from friends having issues with their own kitchen installs. The fact ours was completed without a single hitch is a testament to Doug and his team. We now have a fantastic new kitchen that has meet all of our requirements and even exceeded expectations. We are delighted with our new kitchen and are looking forward to utilising it to its full potential. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Doug Farleigh Kitchens to anyone.
