Hereford Creative Kitchens Reviews 2

Hereford Creative Kitchens (HCK) is owned and run by Darren. Echoing the Review Title of a previous reviewer, I also highly recommend Darren. In one person he has been designer, project manager and (with some hired help) fitter for our new kitchen, and we could not be more delighted with the end result.
My wife and I had spent many months looking at other kitchen providers, both large and small, to supply us with a new kitchen. For all of them there was something missing or unwanted in their offer (e.g. one did not supply a Belfast sink with the door design we wanted; another had a very narrow selection of furniture colours for the price we could afford and wanted the full cost of the kitchen, including installation, up-front).
So we had some design ideas well formulated, but needed someone or an organisation with a skill set like Darren’s. When I contacted HCK I was not hopeful that we could afford a bespoke and handmade kitchen (particularly as it was a large kitchen plus utility). I thought that a bespoke and handmade kitchen would come in at least twice our budget and at way more expense than Wickes or Wren were quoting. When we explained our budget it was a huge relief that Darren said he could work to that.
Having reached the end of the process, I feel we have a quality kitchen with everything we wanted at (probably) less cost than the National suppliers could do (even with the discounts). And Darren project managed the whole thing so we weren’t left having to negotiate separately with the painter/ decorator, floor fitting company and kitchen work-top supplier; all of whom are local Herefordshire based businesses that I would highly recommend too.
Taking the design ideas we had already formulated, Darren added to and enhanced these thoughts using his design skills. With his experience as a fitter too though, he was quickly able to let us know when something wouldn’t work and to offer a solution that would.
I also vouch for Darren’s honesty, integrity and trustworthiness. When someone comes into your home and turns your life upside down for 5 weeks (which getting a new kitchen did for us) you get to know them as a human being. There has been so much that Darren has done extra at no cost or just the cost of materials, because he has wanted it to look good and for us to be happy with the kitchen. Every step of the way Darren consulted us about what we wanted, offering different options. Occasionally, e.g with the positioning of a kitchen worktop, there was just millimetres of difference in where we could have something positioned however Darren wanted us to be happy.
So in summary we both feel incredibly lucky to have found Darren and had Hereford Creative Kitchens create this wonderful kitchen for us.

I would highly recommend Darren. His 17 years of experience really shone through, from designing right through to the fitting of our lovely new kitchen. Darren sent us different images & variations to help us to make informed choices & preferences. We had unslightly gas pipes over our kitchen door & Darren suggested he could move to go outside our kitchen door, under the doorstep. He did a great job, our kitchen looks much better for it & he did such a neat job outside too. He worked really hard through out, always turned up on time & kept us informed at every stage. He did the electrics, fitted new stopcock, all integrated appliances, fitting of floor tiles, downlighters, lights under worktops. He works extremely hard & we love the end result. Thank you Darren for our lovely new kitchen.
