We used Chantel's services for our new kitchen, blinds and wardrobes. All the work was completed to a high standard and we have been very pleased with the finish. Chantel was very attentive and made the whole process very relaxed and enjoyable. We're very glad we were referred to her and would highly recommend her to our friends and family.

After searching around for a consultant to help with a lot of work on my new house, I found Chantel and her great team and instantly knew they were the right for the task in hand.
I wanted a complete hands off approach (from start to finish) and it was refreshing how Chantel and her team handled my requests. I even went on Holiday for a lot of the work and trusted the team to execute whilst I was away, in a clean professional manor.
The house feels like home now all thanks to Chantel and her team!
Couldn't recommend enough!!! There's not one single thing I'm unhappy about during the whole process.

I had a great experience working with Chantel! I gave her a pretty vague brief (modern but warm) and she provided me with a really good range of choices, including things which would not have occurred to me that worked really well (eg wall colour). The building works started just before lockdown and Chantel and team liaised perfectly with our builders throughout. Despite obvious supply challenges from the lockdown we had our beautiful kitchen by mid-May. I am very happy with it indeed!
(Project cost given below includes building works, kitchen cost was in the £10k-£49.9k range)

Chantel was a pleasure to work with throughout our kitchen design and build. She listened to our requirements, gave us sound ideas and worked with us to design, source and build a kitchen that really works for us. We had an extended build time due to the lockdown, but this was much less stressful than it could have been thanks to Chantel and the team of builders she works with. Chantel comes highly recommended! And, we love the kitchen!

Chantel Elshout helped us with our dream kitchen. We had a clear idea of what we wanted and she interpreted this immediately. She worked carefully within our budget and turned the supply and fit over in record time, but taking care to highlight any potential issues. She pulled together efficiently all the other trades involved. The fitting was excellent and her the after service has also been faultless. Chantel and her team have been a joy to work with.

From their initial advice to the finished project Chantelle and her team were very professional, knowledgeable and diligent. I trusted their advice and was pleased how quickly they responded when changes had to be made as the design progressed.
Martin, who fitted the kitchen, was excellent: skilled, polite, and always tidied up after himself, which I really appreciated.
I am absolutely delighted with the finished kitchen, which has exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful and works perfectly. Wholehearted thanks to you all.

We had a new kitchen designed and fitted by CEDC. We found them very helpful at all stages of the project, from inception to snagging. The quality of the equipment/cupboards etc. is all good and the diligence/tidiness/general professionalism of the fitters was exceptional. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for a project at this price point (c £40k).

We hired Chantel and her team to design and install our kitchen, utility room, playroom storage as well a loft kitchenette as part of a large renovation project. She and her team were extremely helpful and responsive, listening to all our ideas and needs and making sure to accommodate our wish list in the space provided. They demonstrated both creativity with layout, design and aesthetics. The planning was efficient and organised, as was the installation. They worked well with our builders and various contractors, eg incorporating space and ventilation in the design for air conditioning units. We are delighted with the results- each of the spaces designed look fabulous and are extremely functional. We would highly recommend her and her team!

We hired Chantel Elshout and her team to look after the renovation of a kitchen in a rental property we own, and are very pleased that we did! From our first meeting with Chantel it was clear that she had listened to our brief and respected our budget and she understood that we were looking for a kitchen that would look smart and stand the test of time, both in design and durability. Chantel gave us access to a range of kitchens that we would never otherwise have found and although we were working with a small space, her design ensured that we were able to include everything on our wish list, and also achieve an amount of storage space that we had not thought was possible. The kitchen was delivered on time, fitted as planned and looks fab. Chantel also made suggestions regarding how we should best light the space and a great paint colour for the walls. We are delighted with the new kitchen and would be very happy to recommend Chantel!

I love my kitchen - we spend all of our time there - and Chantel and her team made the experience a pleasure. She designed and installed our kitchen (including dining table/bench and tv unit) and utility room, which was part of a wider renovation project. She was an absolute pleasure to work with; creative with ideas, listened to us, super organised and efficient. She has an amazing eye on the design but with very practical ideas. We had a few building issues/unhelpful builders and Chantel was a breath of fresh air; always calm and helpful trying to resolve any issues. In spite of the issues, Chantel always worked well with our builder and architect. The kitchen install process was handled seamlessly and Chantel dealt with any issues immediately; she is very responsive. I highly recommend Chantel.

Chantel designed, planned and installed my kitchen. She is meticulous with detail. She has a great eye for design and then is flexible with the client's input too - a great combination. She produced the design on time and installed it when scheduled. The installation is of the highest quality. When occasional tiny things didn't go quite to plan she sorted them out instantly without playing the blame game. She worked flexibly with the architect and builders.
Literally couldn't praise her company more highly.
