Luxury Complete Kitchen Renovation Professionals in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire

“I found Place Design on Instagram and I wasn't sure if it was 'too' high brow for me but I was frustrated with my designer at the time and thought I would speak with Place to see how they compared. By the time I found Place I had tried many kitchen routes from Ikea and Magnet through to local bespoke stores but each had fallen short. I didn't think I was being very demanding - I knew what I wanted but needed an expert to match my vision and see if it was applicable and practical. Plus I have a nagging self doubt about my choices - I am devoid of design skill! John Place was immediately warm and reassuring. I told him my situation and he was immediately able to see what I wanted. Our first consultation with him was remarkable. He came to the house, saw the space and listened to our needs. He then mapped it out on a 3D CAD program so that we could see our ideas come to life. I am always a bit sceptical that these program make things look better than they are in real life but honestly they are really realistic. I hope John shows pictures of the design and then the real thing so you can see how close it was. The main thing for me was that John really cared about what he produced. He helped us think of every detail and went above and beyond helping us specify a pantry area for our builder to make. The other thing I liked about John was that he made me a bit bolder and braver with colours and also he was willing to go on a learning journey with us - for example we found a brilliant stone supplier in Ongar and John helped liase wiith them to specify the work surfaces. John was a constant through thewhole process. He worked well with our builder (and had his own contacts as well) and was continuously checking in. The units he specified seemed costly at first but when you see tyhe quality and how they come ready and bespoke assembled it all makes perfect sense that they are a bit more expensive than the 'one size fits all' solutions you get from cheaper manufacturers. All in all John is not only a brilliant and experienced designer but a genuinely nice man who really is passionate about what he does. We were so blessed to find him after a long search! Now we have the kitchen of our dreams which is a pity because I enjoyed the process so much I'd love to do it all over again!”

“From finding Name Architects on Houzz, we worked with Vaidas for a little over 2 years on a full refurbishment and extension of a terraced town house in Stoke Newington. Vaidas and his team allowed us to explore what was possible on a difficult site and brought their expertise to make the most of the space afforded, fitting in with our design brief. We are and were very pleased with the design and overall management of the build from start to finish. As first timers to renovation we appreciated the working relationship and guidance throughout the process, so much so we have referred Name Architects to multiple people and plan to keep doing so!”

“We love the overall look and feel of our flat! The rooms are beautiful spaces for us to relax and welcome guests. We found that the attention to every detail was exceptional, including how to optimise the space for our needs. It's been fantastic working with everyone at Malt from beginning to end. Our project was quite challenging because of planning and building delays but Lisa and her team did her very best to keep the project on track and complete this successfully despite the challenges that we faced. Would highly recommend MALT!”
