Kitchen - recommend architect and builders?


devsdev

Recommended Posts

Hi all,


I've worked through some of the threads on kitchen works and have some names of people who are recommended (or not!) But would be great to have the information in one place for all people looking to get work done.


We want to redo our kitchen but probably only extend back if at all (side return would be amazing but just too expensive). It seems we need an architect and a builder - would they work closely together? We would ideally also have a project manager type person as I want to take the kids away for some of the works so I don't go crazy!


Any recommendations at all? Any company/people to stay away from (you can pm me that info!)?


Any advice on the process?


Thank you!

I highly recommend Dominic from the Gentleman's Construction company. I've used him for several projects over the last 5 years and always found his work to be of an exemplary standard. In fact I recently had my kitchen redone by him. He does the project managing himself and knows an excellent architect. He works with you to design the kitchen to your sepcifications, so you truly feel that you are getting a bespoke room that works for your needs and lifestyle. His team of works are really trustworthy, I never had any issue with providing them with keys. I lived onsite throughout the project and I work nights - they are very accommodating!


He has a website, but you can contact him on 07774704674.


If you want more info, don't hesitate to come back to me.

Hello Dev,


This recommendation may be too late now - but we have recently been working with Alyson and her team at Tristram Design & Build - they manage projects like this from start to finish.


If you still need another quote / opinion, here are the contact details:

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
