Kitchen Planning can be overwhelming. There are thousands of styles, colours and finishes to choose from.

Over the years we have finely tuned and optimised each step to make the process as straight forward for you as possible.

Here’s how we work

The Craft Process

Step 1: 

Get in Touch with us

Let us know how we can help, send us some images of your existing kitchen and any ideas you have for the your new kitchen.

This can be done by Whats App or email donal@craftkitchens.co.uk

Step 2: 

Initial discusion and quote

We’ll arrange a convenient time to have a call to discuss your project in more detail.

Once we have this information (kitchen style, worktops and any other design details) we will be able to give you a close estimate for the work.

This will be emailed to you after the call.

Step 3:

Schedule your dates

After we agree on the kitchen budget, the next step is to schedule your kitchen survey and install dates.

Firstly we will need to schedule a Kitchen Survey followed by Kitchen Installation dates.

The lead time for kitchen surveys is usually about 1 week. We need to complete your kitchen survey before we can confirm installation dates.

● We’re usually booked 6-8 weeks in advance for installations.

Step 4: 

Survey

The survey takes 1-2 hours depending on the size of the project.

Everything is discussed in more detail here and we bring the sample range again for colour confirmation.

If you are having a new kitchen design this meeting will also include kitchen planning and new kitchen details. New kitchen designs generally take a few more meetings that kitchen makeovers or smaller alterations.

Step 5: 

Planning and Design

If you are having a new kitchen we will start the design process. We will build 3D CAD drawings so you will see exactly what your kitchen will look like. This is a collaborative process.. so lots of emails,ideas, revisions until we have your perfect kitchen.

Once we have approval on the final design we are ready to set installation dates.

Designed for living

Step 6: 

Installation

The installation is as important as any other part of the process.

Most companies will do just 1 job. For example, Just cabinets or worktops, or plumbing etc.

That's what makes us different. We manage the whole process from start to finish.. from removing your old kitchen, managing all of the trades, arranging deliveries and installation works.

This makes the process very efficient and removes a lot of the hassle of you managing multiple contractors.

What Our Clients Say

Sheila Mouna

We are very happy with our newly refurbished kitchen, Donal was professional and helpful from start to finish, offering great ideas and then making them happen. He is a very skilled craftsman, everything has been made and fitted to the highest standard. Despite all the extras we needed, such as new pipe work and electrics, Donal was always able to come up with solutions. The job was completed with the utmost efficiency and with the least upheaval possible. I highly recommend Craft Kitchens.

Donal came to our attention as a recommendation – and highly recommended at that!From the initial discussion, Donal was able to produce an image of the design and work with us to ensure all of our (many) requirements were met. He was able to give valuable advice and guidance based on his extensive design knowledge.When it came to the installation, Donal and his team were excellent. Donal’s engineering skills allow him to think through problems and design bespoke solutions. Along with his team, they produced high quality work, on time and with no fuss. The entire project went smoothly. I would highly recommend Donal.

Donal did a fantastic kitchen makeover for us. From the moment we contacted him with our ideas, he worked with us all the way to completion, taking on board all our (constantly changing) ideas, and coming up with ways to get what we wanted, within our budget. He was always open to alternatives, and kept us in the picture about costs and schedules. He is a meticulous craftsman, with an enormous pride in his work and attention to detail. It was his idea to expose a brick wall, which really is a focal feature of the kitchen. Donal is a brilliant project manager - not only co ordinating his own team, but also an external flooring supplier we were using. We were away during the kitchen refurbishment, and we felt completely confident with Donal in charge. He was always available on the phone and with photos etc. !8 months later and our kitchen still looks superb. I would highly recommend him!

I can't speak highly enough of Donal. He completely renovated my flat in Islington and did a fabulous job! He is everything you want in a tradesman - the quality of his work is first class, he has great ideas, listens well, is polite, has great comms, turns up on time, charges in line with his quotes...I could go on & on. I have no hesitation in recommending him!

Donal did a wonderful job on our kitchen renovation. His is an absolute perfectionist which is exactly what you need when having a new kitchen fitted! Also great at communication which wasn't the impression I got from others when initially getting quotes. I was dreading the upheaval of having the work done while living in the house with my family, but it was so much less stressful than I thought it would be thanks to Donal being organised and considerate.
He has also come back a couple of times after finishing the job when lights have malfunctioned and has managed to fix the problem which I really appreciated.
