Kitchen Designers in Ilchester, Somerset

“I have used Chris Chapman several times. He is the only builder I would use! The last project was a complete overhaul of the downstairs of my house including a new hand cast concrete kitchen, re wiring, extensive building works, all the trades were needed and used. Chris has an excellent team and is always on time and budget. I can't say that for many builders!! And the quality and precision of the work is in the highest order.”

“I have worked with Idesign on three separate occasions. I have have an ensuite, bathroom and kitchen refurbished by them. I have found them to be very knowledgable about the products available and their recommendations were sound. The team are courteous and they cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. The results are fantastic, I have fallen in love with my house again!”

“We approached Eternal Kitchens with a view to wanting a new kitchen moved downstairs from its prior position. They arranged everything - electrics/plastering/moving of radiators and designed, built and installed a new kitchen. Not to mention removing the old kitchen and dealing with the residual mess! All of which was done on time and on budget. Very impressed with the high quality of their work. We love the kitchen - it is glorious.”

“Stylish and personal service providing a high quality outcome for a price very similar to chain brands. Excellent after sales service.”

“Walrow kitchen designed and supplied our kitchen. Jackie was fantastic helping me decide on lots of different choice's available. We went for a walnut high gloss touch open kitchen and composite worktops. We are delighted with our new kitchen and would definitely recommend Walrow kitchens as nothing was too much trouble for them. They will make any cabinet in any size so you can have the perfect kitchen unlike the big chain kitchen manufacturers.”

“We have worked with Matt & Stephen from Papilio on a couple of occasions now and, on top of being a friendly and accessible team we have been impressed with their ability to translate client requirements, their overall attention to detail and the quality of workmanship. We have even been awarded the local Mendip Building Excellence award for one of our collaborative extension and refurbishment projects. I would happily and highly recommend Papilio for anyone looking to invest in a bespoke kitchen.”

“Julian is a dedicated and sincere craftsman of wood and, dare I say it, a perfectionist too. I came to know Julian and his family when my wife and I moved to Somerset in 2006 and wanted to restore and develop the interior of our part of a traditional Somerset double-gabled house dating from 1802. Julian revealed to us beams of ancient elm that had been buried under plaster by subsequent unappreciative generations and then created anew items made from fallen elm to echo the traditional wood used in this area. Items include, for our bathroom, an eliptical elm surface on which a sink sits, for my study a curved desk of elm (which is a joy to sit at). Also for my study, floor to ceiling shelves, with small LED lights that emerge from the wood as if modern candles. He created a special in-built lectern to display some artworks in book-form with two pages to view. Downstairs he created our kitchen, matching stone surfaces to specially chosen wood and restoring an enormous welsh dresser, making drawers accessible with modern movement while retaining the age old beauty of the original piece. At our office in Hampton Court, in homage to the famous Japanese American wood craftsman, George Nakashima 1905-1990, he created our boardroom table. This was from a fallen elm opened longitudinally, revealing the imperfections of time, and allowing the natural curve of the outer shape of the original tree to be part of the work, running a millimeter layer of maple down the middle of the table. Here he also created unique desks of oak and elm to echo, in a totally modern way via the choice of wood, our building which dates from the early 17th century. Here he also constructed for our bespoke needs two long rows of lectern style shelves needed for our contract folders - functional and yet in keeping with our building. His works never lose sight of functionality but are works of art in themselves to be appreciated. We know at our office from the reaction of our many customers who visit us from all over the world how people react to Julian's work and it is always with awe and interest. The works we have done with Julian started in 2006 and have continued to the present.”

“New kitchen built for an old north Dorset vicarage. A fresh look for an aging property was not only welcome but required. Craigie delivered!”

“I am delighted with Shaker & May who seem to get better and better. They supplied my kitchens for a refurbishment project in Somerset and the outcome was pure satisfaction, on my part. Attention to detail, willingness to adapt and alter and the standard of the finished product exemplary. Please accept my thanks and appreciation. First class. JB”

“We got Ben involved originally to do a floating bathroom cabinet and then tasked him with adding the wow factor to our new kitchen - custom fronts and drawers. After some discussions about materials / costs / design we settled with linoleum on plywood with a custom, rebated pull handle. The completed install looks great, is finished beautifully and has stood up really well to the rigours of daily life. Throughout the process, we were kept informed of costs and timescales and it was really helpful having the parts modeled in 3D so we could better understand how it would look and fitted together.”
