Bespoke Cabinet Professionals in Codicote, Hertfordshire

“We were having a significant amount of extension work carried out by a local professional project management company. A new kitchen was a major part of this project. The project management company directed us towards their usual fitter - an established company we were aware of. We saw this company and described a feature we wanted. We were told by them that there was no space for this feature. We were supplied with one black and white plan of what we were told could be done. We got the impression that no effort was being put in and the company assumed they already had our business and we were an inconvenience. We then looked around and found Arc+be. From the beginning it was a totally different experience. Jide is so enthusiastic about his work. He began by saying not only was there room for the feature we wanted but he could make it bigger if so desired. He was friendly and appeared as excited about our new kitchen as we were. He spent time with us finding out our likes and dislikes and what use was to be made of the kitchen - a lot of our cooking is not traditional western style, though much is. Jide came up with three suggested plans for us, not only showing the proposed layouts but, for each one, providing a colour, computer generated image of what it would look like. He talked through all the options with us and different finishes etc.. We had no hesitation in placing our order with this company. We were provided with a full cost breakdown, copy of the plan and image of the fitted product together with pictures of the white goods, cupboards, finishes (down to the draw handles) we had chosen. The whole extension was a stressful time but having the kitchen fitted was a pleasure. We were kept informed at all stages, work was done when we were told it would be done and when there was a glitch we were brought solutions not excuses. (e.g. the American style fridge freezer we had selected was not available, Jide told us this and offered us a better one, at the same price to us, that he had already ensured was available). Throughout the build, and after it had been completed, we felt that this project was as important to Arc+be as it was to us. Everyone we dealt with - the planner, the fitter, the tile fitter - came across as true professionals who took a pride in their work and enjoyed what they were doing and we're not just doing a job. They are craftsmen (and women). I am not in the habit of making recommendations but I have already recommended this company to a number of people. I would say to anyone thinking of a new kitchen, talk to this company and compare them to others. I feel sure they will come out on top.”

“Jay did a fabulous job. We’d seen some work he’d done for some friends of ours and decided to ask him if it was a possibility that he could turn kitchen units into cupboard space for our office. We’d been searching for a desk for months and Jay told us he would design it as part of the kitchen. We were amazed. His whole team were amazing, they fitted it in no time at all and we now enjoy working in our office with plenty of storage space. Everyone that walks in notices our desks and the LED lighting, it’s become quite a hallmark for our company images. Can’t thank you enough and happy to refer you to anyone that wants a kitchen (or an office fit)!”

“I have used Stone Heat for the past 4 years to completely refurbish a house including fitting of 2 bespoke bathrooms, repainting of walls and ceilings and consecutive maintenance. They have also helped me to fit wooden flooring in another house plus erect a fence. The quality of their work is always impeccable and the always arrive early, clean after themselves and e-mail you regular photo updates of the work progress and completion. So there is no need to be on site at all. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.”

“Amberth provide talent, creativity and attention to detail from project conception through to design, construction and completion. They renovated our new house for us last year, a Georgian town house. We wanted to retain the traditional feel of the house and the original features where possible but we also wanted to create modern living spaces, particularly in our kitchen/basement. The team at Amberth listened to our ideas and the designer visited the property we were living in at the time to get a good feel for our style and how we use space. They created a design, which really focused on maximising the use of the space available, and it’s livability, but didn’t compromise on style. The designer worked with us to create concepts for every room; they really do leave no stone unturned and they get on with things, addressing any issues they come across methodically and efficiently. They take pride in their work and the quality of finishes of our tiled floors, cornices, and restored living room doors and shutters is of the highest standard. We are delighted with our new home and have had no hesitation in recommending Amberth to friends and family.”

“We have no hesitation in recommending the work of Darren. He is an outstanding cabinet maker whose workmanship and attention to detail is incredible. He is able to interpret clients ideas produce furniture in either contemporary or traditional styles. He has done individual items of furniture and whole room projects. He has undertaken work for several of our friends and family, who have all been delighted with the furniture Darren has produced.”

“Mioko of Kitchen Bee Design was hired to install my new kitchen, she was the consummate professional throughout, going out of her way to suggest options and provide solutions to match my requirements. At the end of the installation Mioko ensured I was 100% satisfied, even offering her expertise where I had challenges with other contractors. She obviously cares passionately about what she does and strives to exceed her customers expectations. She comes highly recommended.”

“Osbourne gave us what we wanted and not an adaption to suit their house style as other manufacturers we tried. Timing and deliveries were excellent and the fitters were great. Nothing was too much trouble and they arranged everything such as strip out, electrics, plumbing and decoration. I am an architect so had a good knowledge of what was required.”

“We were looking for a new kitchen but found the usual high street names couldn't do what we wanted, but wanted to charge us more than our budget anyway! I contacted Lloyd, told him our requirements and he put me in touch with a local sole trader. Within a few days, plans were drawn up, a kitchen was chosen and we were on our way! We now have a beautiful kitchen, fitted to the highest of standards and the quality far surpasses the high street ones. I can't recommend Lloyd enough, he listened to us and found us the perfect company to work with!”

“Jeremy Friendship designed the kitchen and laundry room and supplied the furniture/units, appliances and granite. Preliminary discussions had focus, taking account of budget and aspirations, with the result that the very detailed initial designs only needed minor tweaking. Jeremy's attention to detail and his product knowledge ensured that every aspect of the finished project was what we required. Liaison with our builders was effective and all deadlines were met, with deliveries coordinated appropriately. The resulting rooms were better than we had originally planned and we have recommended Studio 3 Kitchens to many others.”

“I have used Multiliving Limited on three separate projects consisting of the following :- Conversion of offices into individual apartments Kitchen instillation and house extension Flat renovation The workmanship on all projects was excellent and the work was completed on time and to budget. Problems were overcome with the minimum of fuss.”
