Kitchen Designers & Renovators in Lower Earley, Berkshire, UK

“Amberth provide talent, creativity and attention to detail from project conception through to design, construction and completion. They renovated our new house for us last year, a Georgian town house. We wanted to retain the traditional feel of the house and the original features where possible but we also wanted to create modern living spaces, particularly in our kitchen/basement. The team at Amberth listened to our ideas and the designer visited the property we were living in at the time to get a good feel for our style and how we use space. They created a design, which really focused on maximising the use of the space available, and it’s livability, but didn’t compromise on style. The designer worked with us to create concepts for every room; they really do leave no stone unturned and they get on with things, addressing any issues they come across methodically and efficiently. They take pride in their work and the quality of finishes of our tiled floors, cornices, and restored living room doors and shutters is of the highest standard. We are delighted with our new home and have had no hesitation in recommending Amberth to friends and family.”

“I was very happy with dealing with Nora from start to finish. She prepared several scenarios based on my very rudimentary outline and provided contemporary ideas at a reasonable price. All deadlines were met and she kept me appraised of progress and ideas as necessary and on a regular basis. I can only give Nora the highest recommendation: she is a pleasure to work with, provides wonderful ideas to turn your house into a home, stays within budget and her work and implementation is of the utmost quality. I always receive compliments on my home and this is all down to Nora and her team.”

“Dual Designs were recommended to us and they certainly didn’t let us down. Our kitchen has everything that we wanted and is very practical to live in. Along with our own ideas, Dual Designs helped blend these with their knowledge to achieve the kitchen that we are so pleased with. The attention to detail from the design through to the fitting has been first class and would recommend them to everyone. The quality of the furniture is excellent craftsmanship and we can easily see it will last long into the future.”

“We couldn't recommend uncommon projects highly enough. The design skill, passion for excellence and attention to detail was way beyond our expectations (and our expectations were exceedingky high!). Having now lived with our kitchen for a number of months, there isn't a thing we would change about the design.”

“Our kitchen was completed about 18 months ago and we love it Simon made it really easy at the design stage - and it was a mixture of me going to the showroom and Simon coming to our house. he had some great suggestions but kept to the simplicity and the style we wanted. We knocked 2 rooms into one to create one large kitchen All the work (with the exception of the floor) was done by contractors who do a lot of work for intoto and are used to working at a high standard and not one of them needed to be called back. work started on time and finished on time and the house was left in a clean and tidy state every night and we felt we could trust all of the contractors who came into our house . The only issue we had was with the Karndean floor - it was arranged through intoto but Karndean weren't great and they did have to come back twice to finish the floor properly couldn't recommend the Wokingham Intoto team highly enough.”

“We engaged HUX to designed and install our bespoke kitchen, built-in storage, wall panelling and bathroom vanities during our house renovation. All the designs were innovative but practical and the craftsmanship was to the highest quality. We are so thrilled with the final project and loved working withe the HUX team.”

“I would not hesitate to recommend John as a kitchen designer. His advice and vision was invaluable on what was a large kitchen/living area project. He managed the kitchen company, fitters, painters and invoicing seamlessly and was always available to talk through any questions and changes big or small. Sinead Glanville”

“Mioko of Kitchen Bee Design was hired to install my new kitchen, she was the consummate professional throughout, going out of her way to suggest options and provide solutions to match my requirements. At the end of the installation Mioko ensured I was 100% satisfied, even offering her expertise where I had challenges with other contractors. She obviously cares passionately about what she does and strives to exceed her customers expectations. She comes highly recommended.”

“We would not hesitate to recommend David. When we first contacted him, we were not quite sure of the nature and scope of his design service. But one fairly big project later, we are really glad we engaged his services and he was worth every single penny of his fee. The key is that he works for you, his client, on a fully transparent basis, and has no vested interest in, for example, upselling you kitchen units or earning commissions. A year after we moved into our new house, we consulted David to see how we could improve our living spaces and address the things we were not happy with, such as tiny bathroom, old and impractical downstairs shower, and not enough kitchen worktop space. At the initial (no-obligation) meeting, David listened carefully and quickly grasped what we wanted. He showed us that we did not need to extend the ground floor (a big saving already), but that rearranging things in the kitchen would make it more functional. He worked with us and the architect, to design a loft extension - with utility room, shower room, bedroom and study - and also two new bathrooms on the first floor. In addition he produced designs for the kitchen and redesigned the shower room on the ground floor into a larder and WC. David helped us to source and choose bathroom furniture, kitchen units, kitchen appliances, etc, finding good quality things within our budget. He also helped us to make sure everything was there in good time, from light bulbs to extractor fans to radiator valves, as well as advising on the smallest details such as where to hang pictures and which clock/chairs/table to get for the kitchen. David’s technical skills, ideas and knowledge alone made the project easier for us, but he was also always patient, friendly and helpful. Delays and difficulties caused by the builders’ poor time management made the project more stressful and time consuming for David than he had anticipated. Instead of complaining about that, he went above and beyond to make things as easy for us as possible, acting as a go-between with the builder when necessary (even though he was not project managing for us – he lives too far away from us for that to be practical). David understood our needs and preferences, and the end result is that we have rooms that are not only lovely spaces to be in but also work very well for our family on a practical level. For a fixed fee, he delivered a first class service right through to the end (which was much later than anticipated at the outset) and even continues to help us with niggles months later!”

“Laura was recommended by the professional who made our kitchen as the person to talk through what was needed and do the scale drawings. She was extremely thorough from the start, ensuring that nothing was forgotten, and able to source items we would not have found ourselves. She completely understood the need to facilitate the way the client uses the space and we are delighted with the end result.”
