Vivid Kitchens Ltd

From design to completion Vivid Kitchens provided a first class service during our kitchen renovation. We found Richard to be an excellent Project Manager with creative ideas and good attention to detail. The kitchen units are good quality and installation was completed within the time schedule. We are very happy with our new kitchen and highly recommend Vivid Kitchens Ltd.

Richard and the team were incredible to work with from start to finish. It's never easy living in the house while there's a large renovation project underway but Vivid planned and managed everything to a tee; we never felt out of the loop throughout the process (made more challenging with COVID-affected supply and logistics) and felt we could openly discuss any concerns we had knowing they would be acknowledged and rectified if required, rather than buried or forgotten as can happen so often. Add to that: the quality of the design and finish is truly exceptional. I whole heartedly recommend Vivid Kitchens to anyone who wants the highest professionalism, design, and execution of their dream kitchen (regardless of how big or little that dream is!).

Richard's advice, guidance and suggestions were most helpful and the 3D images convinced us to go ahead with Vivid Kitchens. The work schedule was kept to, and personally monitored on site by Richard. Paul, Martyn, the Plasters and the worktop fitters were all true craftspeople who we had great faith in. The finished kitchen is now being admired by friends and relations as well as being a delight to use. Alan & Jenny Willis

I love my new kitchen. It was small and dark with very little work surface. It is still small but feels so much bigger and brighter now. I had a fairly clear idea of what I wanted - in such a small space there were limited options for major changes. I asked 3 firms to come in to design and quote. I am sure the other 2 were fine but Richard picked up on potential issues, design details that the others just did not see. Issues were addressed at the design stage meaning I was not dealing with numerous phone calls or questions during the construction stages. He also was the only one that came up with a solution to improve the lighting and it is a great solution. The guys he brought in to do the individual jobs were all good and the project finished on schedule and on budget. It cost me more than I initially intended to spend but I have finished up with exactly what I want, with minimal stress or hassle. I don't regret a penny (or pound).

As founder of Covest Architecture we has used Vivid Kitchens for over five years by introducing them to our residential clients. Richard and his team offer an end to end high quality service from initial design consultation to supply and installation at competitive prices for the quality of product and service they provide. Every client who has used Vivid have all been more than happy with their kitchen installation and have gone on to recommend them to their friends and family. Keep under promising abs over delivering Richard and we will continue to recommend Vivid Kitchens

Richard designed and project managed our new kitchen design and install. We were thrilled with his professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility when it came to design changes and amendments. We would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a high quality kitchen of dreams.

We had such a great experience working with Richard and Vivid Kitchens - I couldn't reccommend their services any more highly. He really took the time to understand how we use our space, our needs, and our tastes, and designed a kitchen that was both stylish and functional. We have a small shape that had a number of awkward spaces due to the measurements. By getting bespoke cupboards and carefully considering the use, the design maximises every inch of shape. His plans and VR walkthrough helped us really understand how the design would look and work, and being able to touch and feel the samples in our own home, and see how they would fit into the existing space was so much better than making those decisions in a showroom. We also used his Project Management services to oversee the installation. Even with repeated changes due to Covid, his longstanding and trusted relationships with builders and fitters was evident every day, and it took all of the stress out of the process. The attention to detail on the final fit was exceptional, and our final kitchen looks identical to the plans. Richard is respectful, thoughtful, and careful designer. (Attached are pictures of the 3d model prepared before the project, and the almost finished product).

From meeting Richard at the intial consultation we felt at ease and received brilliant design advice. Richard listened to what we wanted. The level of detail Richard went into was fantastic, from door handles, wall tiles, lighting and worktops, this helped us create the perfect kitchen for us. Richard gave us a detailed schedule on the build which was very important to us and the fitting team kept to schedule and delivered a beautiful kitchen. We would highly recommend Vivid Kitchens to anyone looking for a new stunning kitchen.

We're so happy with our kitchen. Richard came to view the house half way through the project as I was having doubts about the plans for the kitchen area. He was able to look at the large and awkward space and create something completely different and amazing. Richard had really listened to what we wanted and we were blown away by his CAD designs. Communication was easy and professional throughout and he always made himself available for every question. The end result is a total transformation of the house we loved and lived in for 10 years prior to the extension. Everything flows beautifully. We could not have envisaged the space as it is now without Richard's mind.

From start to finish we have received a first class service from someone whose attention to detail is amazing. We had so many ideas and they were all added to the wish list and brought into the design. The virtual tour allowed us to see the entire kitchen from multiple angles which we never dreamed possible. The flexibility to adjust the design at the second meeting was reassuring but barely needed. Richard was available for questions/concerns/installation/creative advice and so much more. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and it really has changed the way we live for the better. Thank you.

We contracted Vivid Kitchens to renovate our kitchen/conservatory and build us a utility room and we couldn't be happier with the results. The whole project was on time and to budget. The design work was excellent creating the light airy open kitchen we wanted along with the practical utility room. The communication throughout with Vivid Kitchens who where Project Managing the job has been top notch and the tradespeople who have carried out the work were all considerate and friendly. Excellent job!

From start to finish Richard has been amazing. From taking our ideas and building on them, to working out solutions to things that he anticipated could crop up, Richard has designed the most remarkable kitchen that we are incredibly proud of. The team of fitters he uses are so professional and likeable, we sort of miss having them around, but we don’t go through as many tea bags now though. Thank you for taking our ideas and making us a kitchen that we love.

Vivid Kitchens have done an wonderful job from start to finish. Initially, I wasn’t completely sure on what I wanted for my kitchen. Richard came up with several design options for me to choose from. He showed me samples of doors, handles and paint options. Being able to see exactly what it was going to look like was amazing and helped me decide on the finished look. The team that fitted the kitchen were extremely professional and did a fantastic job. Richard was excellent at project managing and his attention to detail was outstanding. I could not be happier with my new kitchen. Thank you Vivid Kitchens for creating my dream kitchen.

Richard did a brilliant job of coming up with an innovative yet practical design for our newly extended kitchen - even though he was just working off architect's drawings for the first few months. We love the kitchen, he took time to understand what we needed but also what sort of design worked best for us. The kitchen was due to be completed at the end of March and Richard responded really well to the pressure I put him and the fitting team under to complete it early when it became apparent that lockdown was looming...ensuring I had a workable fully fitted kitchen ready ahead of plan which meant we weren't left stranded when lockdown kicked in

We could not be happier with the service from Richard @ Vivid Kitchens. From the initial consultation, design advice and options given, also listening to what we both wanted in our ideal kitchen and even coming up with cupboard designs that were not freely available. The quality of the kitchen was fantastic and our fitters were able to follow the plan with no issues at all. Overall couldn’t of asked for a better service.

Vivid kitchens helped me with the design and re model of our down stars kitchen diner. Rich offered a personal service and ensured we were happy from design to delivery. Product quality was great, with design fitting our requirement and exceeding our recommendation Would highly recommend.

Planning a kitchen with Richard was a delight. He listened to me. I was scared to do anything different and was heading to a boring neutral kitchen when really I wanted a dream kitchen. Richard took the brief and designed and expanded it. I literally shouted and jumped around when I saw what he had done. My idea for a social workable space that popped was there in front of me. After a few tweaks and me constantly changing my mind re ovens, doors etc, Richard went away and came up with altered plan ..... it was even better than the first! He even picked my paint colour and flooring.... way beyond the brief. That care patience (boy did he need it) and attention to detail ran through out the project. Honestly I can not recommend Richard enough. The fee £450 that I initially thought was a bit steep was in fact the best £450 I have ever spent! No worry, no hassle. Thank you Richard I love my kitchen and please start doing bathrooms !

Richard designed and managed our new kitchen Very good meetings to discuss the design in the initial phase, brought items to see and touch. Printed a great design portfolio which also included the scope and timeline for the work Richard then dropped in as the job progressed to make sure all was well. Richard contracted very good tradesmen to carry out the work. The photos show finished work before we decorate. Major job, kitchen, plumbing, electrics, building etc.

Richard’s ability to take my initial design plan and tailor it to maximise the space and layout was outstanding resulting in a far better end product whilst working within our budget constraints. Richard is very thorough, patient and meticulous. His attention to detail and project planning is superb. He’s a lovely guy to work with, very friendly, a complete professional in this field.

We recently worked with Richard on a kitchen project. It went amazing well. It was a smooth, well planned job. Friendly guys to work with and top organisational skills. Wouldn't hesitate to work along side them again in the future.

Richard at Vivid Kitchens was a pleasure to work with. We were given many options in terms of design and detail. His design has transformed our old kitchen into a pristine, modern and practical place. The finished article exceeded our expectations. The company's software is amazing and played a valuable part in helping us make our final decisions. I have no hesitations in recommending this highly professional company.

I used Vivid Kitchens when re-modelling the downstairs of my house including the kitchen, Richard was great, very professional and made the whole process easy from start to finish. The visuals produced really helped me get a feel for how it would look in advance and allowed us to play about with the design. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Vivid Kitchens and will use them again in the future!

I am totally thrilled with my stunning new kitchen. Richard was absolutely brilliant, nothing was too much trouble for him, he created various designs for me, advised me and I really appreciated his experience and knowledge. The quality of the units are by far superior to the big brands at a similar price. I was able to personalise it to my specification and have not seen another kitchen like it. The service was excellent and I would highly recommend Richard and Vivid Kitchens, his input was extremely helpful and everything went amazingly well.

Richard was recommended to me by my architect, which was the first positive sign. It became very clear from the outset that Richard is very knowledgeable about kitchens. He is efficient and very personable. Initially he asked me what kind of kitchen I wanted and he listened carefully to my brief, before producing various options and sourcing the fittings. It was very much a collaborative scheme. He has a great eye for detail and expects things to be done correctly. His team of fitters were also very good and he project managed the scheme well. I have done up various old houses and kitchens in the past and this has been by far my best experience. I am happy to recommend him and indeed show people round my kitchen. So far the response from visitors has been very positive

When deciding on how to get a new kitchen we visited Magnet, got some "kitchen installer" builders round to give a quote and design idea and also contacted Richard. What we found was that Magnet was overpriced for what you get, the local builders were locked into a particular brand of suppliers like Howdens which we also didn't want. Therefore we went with Richard because he offered us a professional design based on many years in the trade which was really excellent, and was also happy to work with the supplier we wanted which was DIY Kitchens (which is also excellent!). The first stage, design, was very reasonable and we got three consultations which included choosing all the units and equipment etc which he sourced and advised on based on DIY Kitchens' catalogue. Once happy, we signed off and only then paid for the design. Secondly we asked him to project manage, which is a separate fee, the build which was also excellent as he provided and managed the contractors whom he works with regularly and arranged all of the times and work that needed doing with them, including marking up all the location of the units in the kitchen and checking in regularly with them to direct the installation. Overall, it was a very positive experience and totally stress free. We've got a great new kitchen which has transformed our space and the cost was cheaper than Magnet but we got a better quality kitchen because of using DIY Kitchens' units. Richard was very responsive throughout the process, kept an eye on everything and was a real pleasure to work with. He has a bright future ahead! Very pleased and have already recommended Richard to friends. It's a shame he doesn't do anything other than kitchens...

Richard at Vivid Kitchens was with me all the way from the initial design stage to the job completion. He organised for the relevant people- builder, plumber, kitchen fitter and electrician to carry out the work. If timings needed altering, which affected other people, Richard ensured that everyone was aware and had a suitable alternative time slot. He was there for any query, advice and friendly support. Richard was most professional at all times and was a pleasure to do business with.

Richard at Vivid kitchens worked with us to design our new kitchen, and we were very happy with his work. He had good advice on specifications, layout and even colours, and he made the whole process easier and less stressful than it would have been. He got us better prices for our appliances than we could find, the difference more or less covering the cost of his design work. The kitchen is finished now, and it looks and works great - there's nothing we wish we'd done differently. Hopefully it'll be a while before we do this again, but when we do I'll certainly go to Vivid again.

The 3D kitchen design was fantastic, but the reality is even better! Stunning kitchen & fantastic quality! Highly recommend. Thanks again xx

Absolutely excellent. Impressive care was taken to listen and understand our dream kitchen aspirations and practical needs. This, combined with their fresh design perspective produced some fantastic, unique results. We were given the 'wow' factor straight away! We loved the photo-realistic images used to show us what the finished result would look like, in the context of our own home too - very reassuring. The craftsmanship of the units was unquestionable and we appreciated seeing samples, feeling the grain of the wood and holding handles before making final choices. Lastly, budgets were adhered to without pressurised 'upselling' - the levels of integrity and honesty were refreshing. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Excellent design ideas; we talked through several options before I made my final choice. Richard has been unfailingly patient and helpful; and made sure the budget wasn't blown by my more fanciful ideas. He came up with some really creative solutions to the particular challenges of my home/ space available. I would highly recommend him.
