The Kitchen Studio Of Devon Limited

In early January, we moved into a bungalow which needed extensive renovation. This included knocking down a wall between kitchen and dining room where there was a serving hatch; kitchen refit; en suite, main bathroom and separate toilet refit; installing a wall length of built-in wardrobes and lots more besides... What we liked about Chris was that he was very approachable, not pushy, and his experience in the building trade gave him the vision and experience to handle our project from design onwards. He knew what would work, what wouldn't, and came up with some good solutions. He was very hands-on, easy to contact and his friendly, calm demeanour kept us sane through all the disruption. The few teething problems we had after work was completed were swiftly and easily resolved. We were pleased we chose this friendly, local company. Especial thanks, too, to Mark - the fitter who did most of our work. He was thorough, hard-working and tidy.

We had some fitted bedroom and office/study furniture fitted by Chris and the team. The initial consultation was very consultative, with Chris listening to what we wanted but also making suggestions. The fitters (Christian and John) turned up when Chris said they would and their work was excellent. As well as being very personal, they were also good at asking what we would like when there was more than one way of doing something rather than making assumptions. Their work was great, with an attention to detail and were adaptable/flexible to deal with the inevitable snags that arose. The fitting took a bit longer than anticipated, due to supplier issues, but Chris kept us up to date with progress and tried to push things along, as well as making sure that the work was up to standard. Overall, we're really pleased with the result, which is of great quality and came in on time/budget. We will certainly use Chris and the team again.

Rather than a whole new kitchen we wanted to replace cupboard and drawer fronts and also replace our oven. Chris came up with some good suggestions to improve the efficiency of the existing kitchen and also a good solution for the oven. The fitters were excellent and did a really good job so it feels like a new kitchen without the upheaval and cost. Very happy.

we were very pleased with the re fit of our bathroom. We visited the showroom and were given good from advice and ideas from Chris. He understood exactly what we wanted and advised accordingly. The price was very competitive. The workmanship was excellent. The office staff were very helpful and friendly.

Chris came to assess our requirements and was undeterred by the tight space. Other companies looked and walked away. He moved pipes and made space to replace our old kitchen stove with modern appliances. This was not a big job, in the scale of things, but Chris spent time and effort sorting our requirements. Very impressive. The workmanship was great and we are extremely happy with the result. Thanks Chris and the team.

We had our existing kitchen refitted along with our new utility space. Some of the old kitchen units (also supplied by Kitchen Studio) were refitted into our new hobbies room. Chris and his team provided an outstanding service. They are very flexible and willing to follow our changing ideas. The workmanship of Kristian was beyond expectation and he found a solution for everything. We are delighted with our new look. We would thoroughly recommend them.

Kitchen Studio replaced our old worktops & sink & we also replaced the hob as well. Right from the beginning Chris & Sarah were so helpful and professional. Chris is very good at communicating and understanding of what we needed. Never pushy and very good with advice. Sarah kept us updated with what was going to happen & when, there were no delays at all and everything was completed on time. To say that we are happy with our new worktops and sink and good service is an understatement. I would recommend The Kitchen Studio to anyone that is having a new kitchen.

Very pleasant and helpful at the planning stage. Efficient fitting of bedroom cupboards which were ready on schedule. Final result just as we had envisaged. Thank you.

I wish to recommend Kitchen Studio to anyone thinking about renewing or refreshing their kitchen or having a make-over of a bedroom We have recently had a makeover to our kitchen in East Devon: --- by installing an induction electric hob with an eye level electric cooker and microwave; ---- with an eye level fitted fridge/freezer; ----- a re-design and new doors to our fitted kitchen units. Chris Gates of Kitchen Studio advised on what we needed and what was possible and designed the whole project. His Team installed the new look kitchen. The job was completed efficiently and speedily and all debris was meticulously cleared away. In short we could not be better pleased. We had previously employed Kitchen Studio to install a fitted bedroom wardrobe and cupboards which are a great success. I have no hesitation in recommending Kitchen Studio. Their prices are realistic and competetive. They come when they say they will ,and deliver a 5 Star service.

Sudden breakdown of my electric hob. No idea what was wrong - an unexplained fault. Called Kitchen Studio. Chris got here within an hour and had sorted things out in less than two. Brilliant!

Brilliant handcrafted kitchen, utility room and bathroom fittings from a great team of craftsmen led by the excellent Chris. Could not have asked for a better end product.

We bought a tired 3 bed flat which Chris and his team totally transformed with a new kitchen, bathrooms and wardrobes and a new study area. Chris and his team were professional throughout in meeting our requirements, addressing matters we had not considered, accommodating “changes of mind” and resolving the few problems that arose satisfactorily. We were not present during the works but Chris took care of security and gave his contact details to neighbours in case of any problems. The work was completed to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with our “new” flat. We would not hesitate to recommend the company.

From the very first day of planning our new kitchen to the last day of installation, we have had the most marvellous experience with The Kitchen Studio of Devon. There was precise attention to detail at the design stage (with Hannah), culminating in the production of a set of incredibly accurate (and useful) computer-generated images. The kitchen fitter and electrician (Kristian and Keith) appointed by The Kitchen Studio were both excellent technicians and extremely experienced professionals. Regardless of their undoubted expertise, there will inevitably be ‘snags’ at the completion of such a major project. Objectively, some of these were quite trivial and some could even have been perceived as being quite ‘persnickety’ on our behalf. The owner of The Kitchen Studio (Chris) was on hand throughout the entire process but, most notably, ensured that every single one of our snags was put right (to our satisfaction) regardless of any additional cost to his company. The service we received from Chris and his team was utterly exemplary and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Kitchen Studio of Devon to anyone looking to have a new kitchen designed and installed. It is extremely unlikely that you will come across an organisation which prioritises ‘customer satisfaction’ more highly than The Kitchen Studio of Devon. Our sincere gratitude goes to Chris and the incredible work ethics he has instilled in his remarkable firm.

When we purchased our new house the kitchen was in need of a complete refurbishment. Kitchen studios helped us to design the space with our preferences and also gave us great tips for use of the space. They organised the electrics, radiators, door removal and new kitchen units fitted. We are delighted with our new kitchen. The peninsula is really well designed and has made the space seem much larger. The cupboard design is very effective for storage. The units and appliances are all attractive and easy to use. They listened to what we wanted in regards to the position of appliances and washing machine and created a design that worked for us. I am very happy with the service and can't recommend kitchen studios enough. Quotes and costs were always reliable and consistent. The suggested time frame was fast yet realistic. All work was completed on time. Their expertise and approachable nature helped me to design a perfect kitchen for our house.

We had two tired old bathrooms and a kitchen all in need of updating. Chris planned the refurb and advised on suitable fittings etc. He was very patient during our "changes of mind" taking care that we fully understood his proposals. We were not present during the work. Chris took care of security and kept us appraised of progress by 'phone. He came in on budget with no hidden extras. When we saw the finished project it was exactly as agreed and is excellent. We are very happy with it and can fully recommend the Company for both quality of work and integrity.

We were very impressed with the excellent service from Chris Gates and his team at Kitchen Studio. They provided a complete service from start to finish. New chipboard floor with added insulation, replacement kitchen units and worktops, re-plastering the walls where tiles had been removed and repainting the ceiling, walls and woodwork. They were most helpful to our older tenants and all tasks were undertaken in a very professional manner. Very pleased with the result.

Mark was an excellent worker/tradesman/technician, a pleasure to have in our home. He fitted a new sink, two new taps and a new integrated fridge. We are delighted with these four items, the efficient way in which Mark worked, and the difference these have made to the appearance of our kitchen and to our working in the kitchen. A job well done!

We found Chris and the team excellent. From coming round to measuring up, going into the showroom, amending the plans until we were totally happy, and then carrying out the works. Great communication throughout the whole project. We had some great recommendations during the work from the team to make the kitchen and even better. If you choose the Kitchen studio you will not be disappointed.

I cannot praise kitchen studio highly enough everyone was very friendly but completely business orientated. The filter was always on time and if was going to be late would say so. Chris and his staff at the office were always polite and kept me updated. My kitchen is so lovely that I do not now want to use it. Thank you so much Chris for everything. A special mention to the fitter Kris who worked so hard.

Great support from Kitchen Studio design team - good link up with the builder for dimensions etc. Went back several times for alternative designs until we were happy with the layout, colour schemes etc. The date for fitting was agreed and units, appliances, worktop etc all delivered on schedule. Fitting done expertly with good link up with plumbers and electricians to make everything work. We had the added bonus of reusing some existing Corian worktops from the old kitchen in the new utility requiring invisible joins etc all done perfectly (saved them from going to landfill). Very pleased with the outcome, and the competent and reliable service we got.

This is a company I would thoroughly recommend. The process from design to installation of a completely new kitchen was without a hitch. I was able to choose an appropriate design and appliances guided by a very knowledgeable team. The fitter could not have been more skilled and helpful. The electrician used by the company went out of the way to sort out and resolve an initial problem. Work was carried out according to the agreed schedule and budget.

So this brilliant company created some wardrobes for a dressing room, which had to be custom made due to the ceiling height. They were perfect and has completed my dressing room to such a high standard that probably would have cost twice the price with one of the national wardrobe companies. I was so please with this project that I asked if they could build a custom made bookcase for my living room. This was a huge project and was extremely heavy. It arrived and clotted perfectly into place. I really could not recommend this company any higher. Great craftsmanship and attention to detail

We moved into our house almost two years ago and inherited a bespoke kitchen that was tired and inadequate. We invited Kitchen Studio who were one of four suppliers invited to quote, during a period of pandemic lockdown. Our outline ideas and plan were sent electronically to the suppliers. Three set-up an online consultation of which two were positive and helpful. Only one followed up to see if we liked their proposals. However, Hannah and Chris at Kitchen Studio took the time and effort to contact us, resulting in Chris visiting us to check our measurements and discuss our ideas. All done in compliance with lockdown rules. As the showroom was closed, he left sample materials with us and sent several illustrated versions of our new kitchen via email. Although not the cheapest quotation, Kitchen Studio offered a quote that did everything. From removing the old kitchen, preparing the walls and ceiling, to subcontracted electrician, gas fitter and plumber. Leaving us after two weeks with a fantastic kitchen and memories of great craftmanship, quality furniture and appliances. Kristian worked hard and with skill to fit the kitchen, while Jason seemed to multi-skill to cover everything else. It was Chris who assured us we 'would not be disappointed'. How right he was, we could not have made a better choice.

We recently moved and were lucky enough to move in with a great kitchen already in place. We found out from the previous owners that it was fitted by the Kitchen Studio. Keen to refresh the oak worktops and to pop in a few extra bits, we got in touch with Chris. I have to say the top job. Wonderfully responsive and very quality-driven. Kris, who put did the physical aspect of the work, is a really nice guy, cares a huge amount about making the customer feel good and, frankly, could not do enough for us. Really think you could do no better than giving these guys a try.

Excellent service from everyone at Kitchen Studio. Chris and Hannah were very patient with us whilst we decided on the design and colour scheme. Kristzian was great fitting the kitchen, very professional and focused. His attention to detail and high standards mean we now have a wonderful kitchen which we’re really happy with. We have no hesitation in returning to Kitchen Studio for future work (hopefully bathroom next) and would recommend them to anyone looking for a new kitchen and excellent, reliable service.

There was a wall to be removed so this was more than a simple kitchen. Chris was endlessly patient while we worked through the layout and chose the different elements. We could tell that he was a practical guy and that was one reason why we chose this business. Krisztian who did most of the fitting is really skilled at getting everything accurate and neat. We can't fault anything he did. Chris also organised the building inspector so we know that the building work was properly done, and it has been nicely finished too. We now have the most amazing kitchen and are delighted with it.

Excellent customer service from Chris who oversaw the whole job, and skill and patience from Hannah in designing, and redesigning our new kitchen every time we changed our minds. Expert fitting by Krisztian, which included him carrying everything up two flights of stairs. They did everything including electrics, plumbing, replastering and redecorating. There were unforeseen problems along the way when nasty surprises were found with the plumbing behind the old units. These, and other unexpected problems, were quickly and efficiently resolved. We wanted one reliable firm / person to be responsible for the whole project, and Chris fitted the bill perfectly, keeping us fully informed and consulted along the way. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and would use them again (probably for the bedroom units next).

We are so delighted with our new kitchen that Chris and the team helped us to create. Perfect, friendly, accommodating customer service, Chris went over and beyond our expectations. Exceptional quality and workmanship brilliant on price and budget. I would definitely encourage people to (look no further) if your considering having the heart of your home upgraded, beautiful showroom, Chris was outstanding and a real pleasure to work with. 5 star rating from us.

They fitted our kitchen over 4 years ago and it's still as good as new, even though it receives quite a lot of heavy duty, everyday use. Unfortunately the built-in kettle tap ceased to function so on Chris's advice we contacted the manufacturer who agreed to replace it (at reduced cost as it was out of guarantee) following confirmation from him. He arranged to come round and fit it for us gratis as part of the Kitchen Studio aftersales service and the job was done promptly and efficiently. I suspect most kitchen installers wouldn't have the interest to do this so full marks once again to The Kitchen Studio.

We organised a full kitchen refurbishment from Kitchen Studio Devon. As well as installing the kitchen it involved building works, electrics, re-plastering and redecorating. Every member of the team was brilliant. They did their utmost to keep everywhere clean and the standard of workmanship was excellent. Special mention to the kitchen fitter as his attention to detail was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. I can't fault any aspect - my constant questions were always efficiently dealt with by the office staff and Chris came to the house regularly to check progress and ensure we were happy at every stage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

The Kitchen Studio supplied and fitted our kitchen units, appliances and worksurfaces. Chris was very helpful with the design; offering various layouts for our consideration whilst being sensitive to and incorporating our wishes. He gave good advice on appliances and realistic options for keeping our kitchen within budget without compromising on design, appearance or quality. The kitchen fitters were very reliable with a high standard of workmanship and consulted with us along the way to make sure we were happy with everything. The final result is exactly what we had hoped and we would have no hesitation in returning to the Kitchen Studio for similar work in the future.

Very pleased with the installation of the kitchen. The installers worked cleanly and efficiently. Chris was very helpful with the design and recommended ideas we hadn’t thought off. The after sales is very good had a problem with the door on the dishwasher. This was dealt with very quickly with no hassle. We would be happy to recommend him to prospective customers

The quality of the kitchen units and worktops impressed. The fitters did a competent and professional job of installation. Chris Gates oversaw the project from start to finish and was a pleasure to deal with. The job came in on schedule, even with the horrendous weather in early March, and came in almost to budget. Would I recommend this company? Yes, without hesitation.

The price was very competitive, the instillation was extremely professional and the overall service was of the highest standard. I would highly recommend Kitchen Studio Of Devon Ltd. Thank you for your service.

Having explored a number of local firms, we opted for The Kitchen Studio not just because it was the most reasonably priced but they seemed the most able to give us the kitchen that we really wanted rather than what was most convenient to provide. Everything was taken care of, from the initial design to the finished product. Kristian, the main fitter, was ever courteous and worked incredibly hard, consulting us where necessary. He got the job finished in good time and left it as clean and tidy as possible in between. Many thanks to Chris and the team for providing us with a wonderful kitchen - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We would like to thank Chris and his team for their help and advice on planning and fitting our kitchen All completed on time and within budget Very professional from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend the Kitchen Studio Exmouth. Steve and Lin The Cosy Teapot Budleigh Salterton

Chris's team fitted our new Crown Imperial kitchen nearly two years ago and we recently required some help replacing the filter on a kettle tap and a couple of other small things that needed attention. We contacted him and he immediately organised his fitters to come round and sort them out within days. No hassle, no delay, very convenient and a job completed to our entire satisfaction. Reassuring to know that there are still companies that maintain that sort of customer service.

Chris immediately understood our requirements &, with some clever changes, completely transformed our kitchen & made it seem so much bigger. Work completed on time & to a high standard. would have no hesitation in recommending Chris & his team.

We were extremely pleased with the installation of our new kitchen. The attention to detail was much appreciated.

I got three quotes for installing a new kitchen. Two told me what I could have - Chris at Kitchen Studio asked me what I would like and then made it happen. Attended in person for several days to make sure that issues were resolved before I even knew there were any. Kept to budget and the kitchen looks just like the CAD picture. Very pleased and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

A job well done, no mess great results skilled workmen at a great price. The modification to our kitchen gave the results we wanted. You would not think that this was not the original kitchen. We use to have a low level cooked now we have a pair of high specification eye level cookers. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kitchen studio of Devon to all our friends and family

I have just had a second kitchen supplied by Kitchen Studio of Devon. Chris and his team have once again done a fabulous job design and installation. Chris always has plenty of ideas to make sure that I get just the kitchen I am looking for. The fitting team are polite, efficient and neat, as well as being excellent kitchen installers. I will definitely be using the Kitchen Studio again in the future.
