Cabinet Makers in Birkenhead, Merseyside

“I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Fiona to anyone. We engaged Fiona just before we moved into a huge renovation project. Because we were dong a complete back to brick renovation of a large Victorian villa, we knew we couldn’t do it alone. We’d never worked with an interior designer before so she held our hands through so much more than what house would look like. As soon as we met I knew we’d get on. And that is so important in a relationship like this. Her warmth, patience, empathy and humour though a very stressful renovation kept us sane. You don’t realise how important those qualities are until you are living in a house full of builders as we were! She and her team are detailed, professional and supportive in all their communications. Vital when there are so many moving parts in a renovation project. She really understood the reality of designing a beautiful but practical home for a busy family with a set budget. She worked with the quirks of our old house and pieces we already had and introduced us to local suppliers who allowed us to update it without losing any of its charm. If like us, you have an idea of style you like but no idea how to actually realise it along with all the other demands busy family and work life throw at you, then Fiona will do that and so much more. She elevated our ideas, brought a consistency and story to the rooms and made everything happen so much faster and with a much higher quality than we could have managed alone. Fiona and her team helped us with so much more than we expected. Her attention to detail and years of experience of working with builders meant we could give our trades detailed plans of exactly where and what lighting and sockets we’d need at the right point in the project. She was also a wonderful sounding board and advice giver when I was struggling with builders - the fact she has been through projects like this so many times before meant I was more confident in insisting on what I needed rather than letting the builders do what they wanted! She helped us with everything from our kitchen, entertaining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms. From flooring to bathroom fixtures, lighting, accessories and soft furnishings.”

“I bought my kitchen through the Used Kitchen Exchange in August and have just had it installed. I have to say that the process of buying through the exchange was seamless. The team was beyond helpful and able to answer all of my questions. The end result was that I got a top quality kitchen for a fraction of the price. I have priced it up, and the cost of the appliances alone amounted to what we paid. So, a huge savings. I do have a few suggestions for those wanting to use the Used Kitchen Exchange: - Make sure that whomever removes the kitchen for the original location takes care and doesn't damage the kitchen in the process. Our worktops almost cracked in two because the original owners tradesmen tried to lift the top incorrectly. Also, there were a few cabinet doors damaged in transit. -Buy a bigger kitchen than you need. We were able to substitute doors with scuffs and drawers that didn't work properly because we had so much excess. -Finding someone to fit a used worktop can be a pain. There are very few tradesman that do this... but luckily after weeks of searching we found one that was fantastic here: http://www.granitefitters.co.uk/index.php I have attached the original kitchen pictures and the pictures of our kitchen installed(not yet finished, I apologise). I hope that this helps anyone considering the same route that we took. Honestly, we got the kitchen of our dreams(that we never could have had otherwise) with the Used Kitchen Exchange.”

“Initially called into Panorama just to browse, but were really impressed by the range of products and the friendly and professional approach from their staff. After identifying a colour and cabinet range we liked,we booked an appointment with Ian to visit our home and come up with some ideas for us. Ian was great suggesting ideas and then putting them down in a plan. He listened to what we wanted and accommodated all ours ideas. He was knowledgeable and provided practical advice on what would work and what we perhaps may have to rethink. He was also very patient as we changed our minds several times. We are delighted with the finished plans and can't wait to get the kitchen installed. Have recommended him to several family members and friends”
