Great kitchen
We are delighted with our new kitchen. From the outset, Thomas and Christina couldn’t have been more helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing and designing a kitchen that worked for us. Once work was under way, all contractors were ably managed by the wonderful Jason. His attention to detail is second to none. Although there are cheaper alternatives out there, we know that the quality, design, build and attention to detail was worth paying that little bit extra for a kitchen which will still be looking amazing in years to come.

Great Design and Service
After dithering for a couple of years, I took the plunge and had my kitchen totally refurbished by Simple Kitchens of Thame. My only regret is not having done this sooner. From the initial visit by Thomas to measure up and ongoing guidance and advice on design and appliances from Christina, the whole process was seamless and I am delighted with the result. The kitchen was installed by a small team, each member skilled in their particular trade who were always punctual and pleasant. The project was completed to time and to my entire satisfaction

Quality kitchen and service
Simple Kitchens have provided us with an excellent service, from the initial visit and discussions as to what we were looking for, to the final fit of our kitchen and utility room. Our thoughts and ideas were listened to, with useful suggestions as to how we could improve our space. The whole team worked together really well, and we were kept well informed about timings and day to plans at all times. We were looking for a personal, well managed service with a high quality product and this is exactly what we obtained. We are so happy with the finished result and would happily recommend Simple Kitchens.

SIMPLY THE BEST
MAKE IT SIMPLE! SIMPLY THE BEST. Absolutely fabulous new kitchen from Simple Kitchens in Thame. The attention to detail from start to finish has been amazing. The quality of the workmanship is second to none, and nothing is too much trouble. I cannot recommend them highly enough. My experienced builder recently volunteered that he has never seen such good quality.

New Kitchen - New Life!
Life changing! Yes, a tad dramatic but oh so true; Thank you to the careful design based on Christina and Thomas listening to our needs. We have a beautiful, usable space with loads of storage and the ability to share food with friends and family. In a relatively small house this new design has made the heart of the house appear much larger - Tardis like. Every member of the team that worked on our home (without expectation) made us feel like our project was important and the level of workmanship was outstanding. Any (inevitable) snags were resolved quickly with no fuss. Because the project is managed to allow the space for each trade to work, it takes a little longer than some may expect, but the wait is truly worth it. Simple Kitchens even provided a temporary mini oven / hob to use in our temporary kitchen (spare room) while the work was carried out. It's been a fantastic experience, really life changing. Thank you!

Fabulous service from planning to fitting
After becoming disheartened by the service from a certain large high screet supplier, we looked around for a smaller supplier for our new kitchen and I'm very glad we found Thomas and Cristina. They took the time to listen to what we wanted, but also made very useful suggestions for changes and things we hadn't considered. After hearing horror stories from friends about fitters used by larger companies, it was a pleasure to have the kitchen fitted by Simple's team, who all knew what they were doing and got it done when they said they would. The end result has been a really great kitchen with as little stress as possible. Highly recommended!

Excellence in all respects
We cannot speak too highly of Simple Kitchens, who have a lovely range of products, and a depth of knowledge and expertise that means they deliver to the highest standards. Having worked with us to produce our kitchen design, Christina and Thomas were so patient when our plans for a new kitchen extension were delayed by Covid, and then the builder’s schedule meant Simple couldn’t do the fitting, so we were prepared for problems, but there were none. Jason came to brief the builder’s fitter in person, everything was meticulously labelled and planned, and we are absolutely delighted with the result. Simple stayed with us every step of the way, until the kitchen was completely finished, and were the epitome of helpful professionalism. The kitchen was completed early this year, and after months of use we are still delighted, and would not hesitate to recommend Simple Kitchens in every respect.

Superb service from planning to installation.
Simple Kitchens gave us excellent personalised attention from the initial planning discussions through to the installation of the kitchen. They project managed all trades and provided us with details of timings and kept us updated throughout. All the trades used were top quality as were the kitchen installers and the final kitchen. We would recommend them to anyone. We had a slight issue due to their door supplier but again kept us updated throughout the process.

Outstanding work by a very high quality team
We asked Simple Kitchens to take on a complete renewal of our kitchen. This involved stripping everything back to the plaster (in some cases the brickwork) complete re-wiring and re-plumbing. The planning process was remarkably painless. Simple Kitchens worked with us through a series of ideas and refinements, producing a final result that was much better than our original ideas and has turned out to be wonderful in practice. The implementation and installation was equally smooth. Simple Kitchens co-ordinated all the trades required. Everyone turned up on time, worked to schedule and made astonishingly little mess given the scope and nature of the work. And last but not least, the price and time estimates were extremely accurate and we never had any worries about budget overruns.

A brilliant new kitchen
'I have no hesitation in highly recommending Simple Kitchens. Thomas, Christina and their team provided a bespoke service and their craftsmanship and attention to detail were first class. I couldn't be more delighted. In fact, if further proof of my esteem were needed, my first kitchen was made by Thomas himself 22 years ago as he was starting out in his business. It was an easy decision to use Simple Kitchens again for my second!'

Professional, inspirational and a joy to work with!
This is a very professional firm from start to finish. I could not have chosen better. I had a fair idea of what I wanted, but with help from Thomas and Christina, we formed the perfect plan. There was plenty of time to make changes before the final order for units was made. No hasty decisions. My old kitchen was out in one day, and then the kitchen was prepared. Everyone, the electrician, the plumber, the plasterer, the fitter and the painter were efficient and very pleasant. If there was anything I needed to know, to check, I was able to contact Thomas or Christine with a quick phone call. They always informed me who was coming each day and what time they would arrive. There was an offer of a small oven hob to borrow during this time. I am beyond thrilled with the result. I cannot speak more highly of this company. The above says it all! Thank you.

Everyone involved with our kitchen was absolutely brilliant, we can’t find anything to complain about. From the time we spent in the showroom choosing and modifying our design, to the initial plans and then to the actual work itself we were so impressed. Everything was in accordance with the programme provided and during the work some further improvements were made which contributed to the final look of the kitchen. Communications throughout the work were first class. We would not hesitate to recommend Simple Kitchens to anyone else looking to update their kitchen. Thank you so much.

New kitchen
We are delighted with our new kitchen. The whole process from our first visit to the showroom through to fitting has been very straightforward and the team at Simple Kitchens have been a pleasure to work with. Simon and Christina really listened to our plans and “wish list” and produced a very practical design that looks beautiful and works very well in our new kitchen space (a kitchen/diner conversion). Christina created a couple of different designs for us to make sure it was exactly right and worked for our budget. Thomas was always really responsive in answering any questions or concerns, and provided very clear communications and timeframes. The kitchen fitting itself has been done to a very high quality standard, Jason took great care and really focused on the details and quality. The whole team at Simple Kitchens are very friendly and professional and pulled out all the stops to ensure our kitchen was completed to the timeframe. The end result is a beautiful, practical and very high quality kitchen, the process was seamless and we would thoroughly recommend Simple Kitchens.

Thomas, Christina and the team did a fantastic job in designing, managing and delivering our replacement kitchen. The kitchen was delivered on time and within the planned budget. All the tradesmen involved were highly professional and delivered what was expected of them. They were always positive and willing to adapt where required. Particular thanks to Jason, their fitter and overall project manager. He's a perfectionist in his delivery and nothing was too much trouble for him. They use the same trusted subcontractors (electricians, plumbers, flooring contractors etc) and were all excellent. Overall, we're simply delighted with Simple Kitchens!

Excellent local company
I needed a brand new kitchen and looked at five companies including a well-known national brand, but Simple Kitchens stood out from the crowd – I felt in safe hands with them from the word go and they came up with the best design by far and were indeed very simple and easy to deal with all the time. The whole experience from design, ordering, project management to full completion was absolutely amazing and it was a joy to have the tradespeople working here, all of them extremely competent. Thomas and Christina, the owners of the business, live and breathe kitchens every day and it shows evidently – these guys know what they are doing and ensured a fantastic coordination and customer experience throughout the process. I could leave all the tradespeople to get on with their work, knowing that it was all running so smoothly. This was the “A+ team” indeed, and it was a joy to have Simple Kitchens here. Now I am enjoying a very good quality kitchen which really looks stunning yet is also so practical. They surpassed my expectations and the project also represented good value for money. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Simple Kitchens. Thanks, Thomas, Christina and all the team for a job well done indeed!

Great designs and great quality product, well installed. Very easy to work with.
Simple Kitchens designed and installed our kitchen. We are really pleased with the finished product, and the way in which both Thomas and Christina worked with us made the whole process so easy. We did not really know what we wanted so they came up with a number of great designs to help us choose. During the project they worked collaboratively with our builders to give us a great finished product but it also ensured the whole project proceeded smoothly. Both Thomas and Christina were highly attentive and Thomas closely monitored all the onsite work. They were also clear on price, kept to the quote given and there were no hidden extras. We are so pleased with our great kitchen and would like to thank Thomas and Christina. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

New Kitchen installed 2018
Thomas and Christina (Simple Kitchens Thame) could not have been more professional or friendly when they installed my new kitchen in 2018. It was not an easy project as they had to remove all the old units. However this was done with the minimum amount of mess, although I made sure I was away for most of this!! On my return they were putting in the new units and appliances and cannot praise them enough as disruption was kept to a minimum. Their fitters, electricians and plumbers were all great and liaised with me at every stage.

Great Kichen
We chose Simple Kitchens after having designs and quotes from 3 other companies & we could not be more delighted with our decision. We have quite a small compact kitchen which we wanted completely refurbished. The kitchen we wished for was to have a lot within it and the design & quotation we received achieved all that we desired. In actual fact Simple Kitchens came up with suggestions that enhanced what we ended up with. The service we received during the installation stage was great. We used all the workmen (fitter, electrician, plumber and plasterer) that Simple Kitchens recommended and we were happy with all their work. We must say that Thomas is a perfectionist when it comes to the installation which shows in the final finish. As project manager Thomas oversaw everything for us, which is just what we wanted. They seem to think of everything which for us included providing a temporary sink for use during the refurbishment. We would like to thank Christina and Thomas for the fabulous kitchen we have ended up with and without hesitation we would recommend them.

Excellent work, well planned and completed to time.
We chose Simple Kitchens to design and install a new kitchen to replace our previous kitchen as part of some building alterations. We wanted a bespoke kitchen to make the most of a small awkwardly shaped space and Simple Kitchens proved to be an excellent choice. We were able to visit their newly opened showroom which allowed us to see examples of their work and helped with choosing the detail of the finish. They were happy to work with our builder, taking over when he’d finished but having the builder’s electrician back for the second fix. Thomas and Christina worked with us designing a kitchen that met our requirements for more worktop space, adequate storage and integrated appliances. Their fitters and painter worked carefully to a high standard and, together with Thomas and Christina were happy to accommodate late changes to our requirements. We are very pleased with our kitchen, it meets all our requirements and we are happy to recommend Simple Kitchens.

We would like to thank Simple Kitchens for a superb job in designing and constructing our new kitchen.
We had a consultation with Thomas from Simple Kitchens, who listened very attentively to our requirements & desires to have a new kitchen designed & installed. This was fed back to Christina who designs the layout of the kitchen & also provides the quotation showing the breakdown of the costs . We requested slight alterations to the design a few times & Christina was more than happy to do this. We were sent the plans via email & a hard copy was sent to us too. We were very impressed by Thomas's professionalism as a skilled project manager from our initial contact with him, and throughout the whole process. We met all the members of the team before the work commenced. There was evidence of good team work amongst the various skilled workers. Each discipline had their merits of interpersonal skills. They were all helpful, approachable, accommodating, easy to communicate with, and mindful of the impact they had on the household. They also adhered to the deadlines they gave. We were given a small portable cooker with hob to use whilst the kitchen was out of action which was wonderful for our busy family. During the construction process I unfortunately became unwell. Thomas's team were very considerate and worked around me in a caring, respectful manner. The most important aspect of our experience with Simple Kitchens, was that we only had to communicate with one person ? which was Thomas. He was honest and there were no hidden costs. We know we used the best kitchen company and the end result was that we had a FABULOUS kitchen to use. We would unreservedly recommend Simple Kitchens.

Simply outstanding!
Simple Kitchens designed, manufactured and fitted a new kitchen for a new space in our house (following demolition of internal walls). The standard of Simple Kitchens' work is excellent. Their interaction with us as customers was second to none. Thomas and Christina are so personable, and they invested quality time in getting us to the design we felt really happy with. This is so important when you are making a considerable investment in your home. Crucially, unlike many other kitchen designers, Simple Kitchens do not demand a deposit prior to providing CADs (I think we went through 5 versions, mainly because we couldn't decide on the colour!). They ran to budget, and more or less to schedule - I think we had a few days' delay, but that was mainly due to the paint on the cabinetry taking a little longer to dry. Communication throughout was excellent. We were living away from home during the renovations. Simple Kitchens kindly received and stored an appliance for us when it became logistically tricky to arrange delivery to the house. I can't imagine many companies would go that extra mile. We discovered Simple Kitchens through a ringing endorsement from family friends. I have no hesitation at all in recommending them - a great experience from start to finish.

Simple Kitchens completely transformed our kitchen and provided excellent customer service
Our very old kitchen was taken out and refurbished. It involved providing a new design according to our requirements, re-plastering the walls and the ceiling, minor plumbing work to relocate the sink and dishwasher, new LED down lights and strip lights underneath the top cupboards, supply and fitting of new cupboards, supply and fitting of built-in appliances, some tricky boxing-in of an existing boiler, a new radiator, a couple of new shelves and a small breakfast bar. From the very first meeting we knew we wanted Simple Kitchens to do the work. We felt confident that whatever came up would be resolved to satisfaction and indeed it has been. Overall an excellent service was provided and the work was completed to a very high standard. The layout works beautifully, it is a complete transformation.

Simple Kitchens designed and fitted a new kitchen for us in 2016. From our first meeting, they took on board our myriad of design ideas and incorporated them into a stunning design.

Great attention to the detail when fitting the kitchen to ensure it was perfect.

We loved working with Thomas to plan our new kitchen. He was extremely well organised, professional, calm and friendly. He listened carefully to our brief and, together with Christina, produced plans and a finished kitchen which exactly met our needs. The workmen he employed and supervised all did an excellent job and were punctual, tidy and friendly.
