Thanks to Ben, Dan and James we can put the nightmare of our previous Wren kitchen to rest
Our kitchen has been transformed and we are delighted with the result. Dan and James pride themselves on their work ethic, skills and attention to detail, correcting several glitches left by the previous fitters to leave a much improved, professional finish. One of the very best companies we have used over the years.
We highly recommend Happy Kitchens

We would highly recommend Ben and his team at Happy Kitchens.
A huge thank you to Ben in the planning and to Dan and James who did an amazing job transforming our old kitchen and utility room. Their workmanship is at such a high standard and their attention to detail was outstanding.
We are absolutely delighted with our “new” kitchen.
1 December, 2024
The kitchen in my mid-terrace Victorian house is very small, with limited usable wall space due to 4 windows, a back door, and a chimney breast. My 17-year-old kitchen units and my even older gas cooker were looking distinctly tatty, so I decided to consult Happy Kitchens about a make-over. When Ben came to assess my kitchen, we discussed doing a make-over, but he also had some really good ideas about how I could 'maximise the potential of my kitchen', including moving the washing machine into the bathroom thereby creating more space, and building units in front of the chimney breast. He showed me samples of work tops, cabinet colours and door handles that he'd bought with him. He ended up giving me two estimates, one for a make-over, and one for a new kitchen that would involve changing its layout and giving me substantially more storage space than I had before, and room for a fridge-freezer that the existing kitchen couldn't accommodate. I was so impressed by his plan for a new kitchen that I went with that option.
The Happy Kitchens team of Dan and James did a really wonderful job installing my new kitchen, despite the challenges of wonky walls, a floor that isn't entirely level, and various examples of poor previous workmanship that came to light once the old kitchen was removed. They are evidently highly skilled at all the many and varied tasks involved in the installation of a bespoke kitchen. Their standard of workmanship is extremely high. It was lovely to see what they'd accomplished each day. Between Dan, James and Ben, I felt that my new kitchen was in very safe hands! I'm absolutely delighted with the final result. It is a huge improvement on what I had before in every respect.

We were recommended to Ben and the team and we are so pleased we chose them.
They made an excellent job of updating and re-fitting our ancient kitchen units. From design ideas to the final fitting, they are a very professional outfit and we couldn't be more chuffed with the result.

Excellent job by Dan and James, fronted by Ben. The guys did a great job about 7vtears ago and this time we were taking a wall down, expanding into the old dining room and replacing all doors, end panels, kick boards, etc. Brilliant finish.
Cheers guys

After a bad experience with another contractor we were reluctant to have any more work done in the house. However, after reading the reviews for Happy Kitchens we decided to risk asking them to give our tired, outdated kitchen a makeover. We are so glad we did. Ben was extremely helpful with ideas to improve our existing kitchen and suggested adding two large larder cupboards to give us extra storage space which has made a world of difference. Dan and James, the friendly, highly skilled kitchen fitters were extremely hard working and professional, going above and beyond to make everything perfect. To all intents and purposes we have a brand new kitchen we are delighted with for a fraction of the price and would thoroughly recommend Happy Kitchens to anyone thinking of having a new kitchen or updating their old one.

After reading the 5 star reviews and meeting Ben for an initial consultation, we were confident that Happy Kitchens would do an excellent job. Ben, Dan and James did not disappoint - we are delighted with our new kitchen and utility room.
Ben came up with some great design ideas, including removing a wall cupboard to make the room look bigger and moving the hob to the breakfast bar. We are especially pleased with our new laundry cupboard, which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer out of sight, with drawers underneath and plenty of storage. A lovely and unexpected touch was when Dan appeared with a pull-out shelf he had made himself-he fitted it within the drawer underneath the dryer, which makes sorting clothes much easier.
The team (including Tom the electrician, who was recommended by Ben) were a pleasure to have around and nothing was too much trouble. They are genuinely interested in doing an excellent job and are very accommodating. We would have no hesitation recommending this company.

Having looked around for a kitchen makeover company we noticed Happy Kitchens in a local magazine. Ben was extremely helpful and suggested some great improvements to our kitchen. The fitters Dan and James were very good and in no time a refurbished kitchen emerged. Dan was very skilled and made a few minor tweaks to improve small but annoying things from our old layout. They were so conscientious and even took all the rubbish away. Your company is aptly named, we are very happy customers!

Great design, superb workmanship and attention to detail resulted in a re-furbished kitchen at a great price. We retained a number of features from the original kitchen, such as granite worktops, some base units and fundamentally the same layout. Ben's design enable better use of base units, such as changing cupboards to large drawers. The two guys who took care of the installation, Dan and James, were a pleasure to have around the house for a couple of weeks and their attention to the smallest detail ensured that the finished article is above our expectations. The change to the overhead, unit and kickboard lighting really brought the project alive.

Ben and the team were a dream to work with, from the start. Ben had great design ideas, which we incorporated, and which have turned out brilliantly. The quality of their workmanship is top class. We left them to fit the kitchen while we went away and they did a fantastic job. They even did unplanned kindnesses like changing a broken garage door lock free of charge. We keep finding little unexpected touches that delight us. We will use them again for other jobs in the house in the future. When you find people like this, you don't want to let them go. If anyone reading this decides to use them, you will not be disappointed.

My updated kitchen looks amazing. Kitchen transformed by having new doors for units.
If like me you need help with styles and colours Ben is the person to advise.
Dan, James and Oakley were magnificent when it came to fitting the new doors and end panels. Attention to detail, accuracy to give perfect fit. Worked in clean and tidy manner.
Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have used Happy Kitchens and once again we are over the moon with the results! For our latest project, in a much bigger kitchen than previously, Ben spent time with us sharing ideas for how we could make better use of the space, new design ideas to modernise and make an impact whilst still maintaining the storage space we need with an expanding family. He also had suggestions on how to reduce costs by making layout changes. The finished layout is fantastic, looks amazing and works so much better than the old design. Plus it’s left us with more storage than we know what to do with! Bonus!
The level of workmanship is just outstanding, the guys were a pleasure to have in the house, left everything clean and tidy at the end of each day and went above and give us an impeccable finish. They are true craftsmen. You would never know this was a largely “re-faced” kitchen, it looks like an extremely high-end new one, but at half the cost.
We won’t hesitate to continue to recommend Happy Kitchens to anyone looking for a new kitchen. Highly recommend!

We contracted UK Happy Kitchens to makeover our tired looking kitchen and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. There were a few inevitable minor snags that were addressed as soon as we raised them. The entire team from design (Ben) and fitters (Dan, James and Oakley) to the electrician (Tom) were all determined to do a job to be proud of - and they did just that! Wharf who supplied and fitted the worktops were of the same ilk and also did us proud. Happy Kitchens are as good as their name and have indeed made us happy and we would certainly recommend them.

We are delighted with our new kitchen. Ben and his team made suggestions which we took on board and are thrilled with the result. During the build Dan and James took away the rubbish on a daily basis so we weren't left with a pile of debris on the drive for days on end. They went the extra mile by filling in the odd hole in the wall and replacing a skirting board. A minor detail but one shelf (of our existing cupboards) went missing but they returned very promptly to rectify and replace this. Excellent quality, excellent workmanship and a friendly and trustworthy team. Would highly recommend.

Delighted with my new blush pink kitchen. I When Ben first visited and suggested no wall cupboards I thought he was bonkers. But after 'interviewing' others I went back and trusted Ben with his enthusiasm and creativity. I wasn't disappointed. He was patient about my (unusual) indecisiveness and we worked on the plans until I was happy. Then along came Dan and James. Covid aware, they were meticulous and yes - also patient. We would have a discussion, creative improvements were suggested, and a short time later they would have been made. Dan made a shelf easily removable for decorating, thoughtfully placed plug sockets out of view so as not to spoil the look, and a new cupboard door was created in oak when I decided there was too much pink - and fitted in less than an hour. The boys were also tidy and cheerful. Photos show finished, but as yet undecorated kitchen.
I would thoroughly recommend Happy Kitchens. My daughter used them too and was equally impressed.

Back in early 2017, over 4 and a half years ago, Happy Kitchens did the most amazing job on my kitchen. Now nearly 5 years later, a couple of snagging points cropped up, a gas strut on an overhead cupboard wasn't working properly, and chrome had unusually deteriorated on a top of the range Franke tap spout. Sent Ben at Happy Kitchens a text on Monday....by Wednesday morning, literally 2 days later to the minute, new parts delivered and jobs all done.
Now that's the real test.... after sales service of that standard nearly 5 years later. I have never known that kind of service from any company for any product. Outstanding. And the kitchen Ben and his team fitted looks as new as the day it was done. Top materials and fittings, top craftsmen. I don't usually do reviews, but this is so exceptional, had to be done.

Amazing service from the start, Ben came to our home and helped us decide and plan our kitchen. Dan and James arrived on day one and instantly got to work. They were brilliant with their social distancing,working in a COVID safe way. Any questions or concerns were addressed straight away and the fitting went totally to plan.
We are thrilled with how it now looks.
Thank you Happy Kitchens.

Sorry for the delayed review guys!
You can only give 5 stars on here.. but i would give 10 if I could. From start to finish and in between they really are the company that all companies should aspire to be like!
If Carlsberg did kitchens.. they wouldn’t have anything on this company!! Ben, Dan and James thanks so much for our fab kitchen we love it.. it took me a few weeks to get used to Dan not being here entertaining me with his singing in the back ground
A highly recommended company

Happy Kitchens installed a new worktop, sink, hob and Kitchen Island for us. From start to finish very happy with service and delighted with the end result, kitchen looks as good as new. Issue with worktop being bowed (poor delivery from supplier) was handled and resolved with minimal disruption. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new or to update an existing kitchen!

Highly professional company, from the initial visit by Ben through to the fitting by Dan and James. Nothing was too much trouble. Dan and James were fantastic and worked very hard. Dan's attention to detail is second to none and he was ever helpful, coming up with suggestions to make improvements.
I am delighted with my revamped kitchen and highly recommend Happy Kitchens.

Happy Kitchens refurbished our kitchen in 2019, doing an excellent job and fully deserving a 5 star review at the time.
A short time after completion, one of our soft-close draws stopped fully closing. As soon as we contacted Ben he arranged for one of his guys to call and fit new runners. Unfortuneatly, the drawer stopped closing properly again, but worry not, Ben arranged another call and this time the fitter noticed that the cabinet (not supplied or fitted by HK) wasnt quite square.
15 minutes later plus another set of runners and shims to true everything up, jobs a good'un !
So 10 out of 10 to Ben and the guys for cutomer service !

Happy Kitchens – Review :
When I read a particularly good review of a tradesman or company, I am always skeptical. “Sounds too good to be true” I think “this was probably written by one of their mates or a family member, trying to do them a favour”. So, let me preface this review by saying my wife and I are just normal customers. We just took a chance on the company recommended by a friend (like you do) and have never previously met the guys at Happy Kitchens.
Right! With that out of the way – if you are looking for a reliable, professional, efficient, and friendly bunch of people to fit your new kitchen, then I cannot rate Happy Kitchens highly enough.
Superb attitude:
•Always arrived on time
•Neat, tidy, respectful of you and your living space
•Polite, considerate, open to discuss any questions, concerns, ideas
•Extremely professional attention to detail
•They brought a level of enthusiasm to the work that made it clear that, despite having a lot of experience, ours was not just “the next job”. It is clearly a matter of personal and professional PRIDE to deliver something excellent to each customer
Special attention to detail:
We chose the look and feel of our kitchen…but…Happy Kitchens expertise means we were offered even more options to improve it. None of these ideas were mine – they all came from Dan (our kitchen installer) to improve the look and function of our kitchen.
•Our kitchen ceiling is not straight - Exact measurements were taken during the kitchen installation to ensure that all new cabinets and fittings appeared “correct to the eye” against the camber of the ceiling! A superb eye for detail.
•Existing plumbing setup was IMPROVED giving me better access to water stop valves than before. Ugly pipes that used to be visible were neatly boxed away and the box painted to match our kitchen.
•Existing electrics were IMPROVED giving me greater options to add future LED lighting if I choose to.
•Gas setup was installed safely and efficiently and given a full professional safety inspection (with certificate).
•I was given the opportunity to choose the exact cut and shape of the kitchen work surface corners, the exact position of all cupboard and drawer handles and was given additional storage options to suit my preferences.
•Extra effort and focus went into achieving a ‘seamless’ appearance to all new fittings down to the finest detail. Edges were skimmed, and walls repainted (where necessary), surfaces were sanded and leveled professionally to achieve this. Clean edging was precisely applied to all new splash boards – in short, nothing was done without serious thought given to achieving a totally professional looking finish on everything.
Covid -19:
Full consideration was given to all aspects of working in someone else’s home during this bizarre pandemic.
•Personal space was given
•Due attention to personal hygiene, hand washing, etc.
•Gloves were worn
•The guys were reassuringly open about their own experiences or contact with other people
•My wife and I are working from home, so things like noise levels, when it was safe to cut off the power and any other potential disruptions were all carefully considered to minimise negative impact on ‘home office life’. Fantastic.
Customer Service:
Early in the fitting process there was a short delay caused because some of the cabinets were not ready to be supplied. We were informed of this straight away and a sincere apology was given. Without us asking or making any fuss, Happy Kitchens gave us:
•Some money back on the overall cost of our kitchen as an apology
•A big BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE (Good stuff…not cheap!)
•We were personally visited by Ben (the boss) to check we were doing ok.
All this for what amounted to less than a week’s delay at very little inconvenience to us.
For all other companies wondering - this is what truly excellent customer service looks like!
Result :
Our kitchen looks superb - just like we planned it. It functions way better than it used to, and we are genuinely excited to get stuck in and start using it. I have heard a lot of ‘kitchen nightmare’ stories and so prepared myself for some problems. With so many components (plumbing, electrics, gas, water function and aesthetics) there is LOT that could go wrong.
Thankfully – Happy Kitchens have the expertise to make the hard work look easy.
As you can probably tell from the emphatic review, I cannot recommend them strongly enough

happy kitchens. WOW WOW WOW . Thank you so much for giving us the wow factor we asked for.
From our first meeting with Ben we knew we had chosen the right guys. HIs professional and laid back approach means it doesn't feel like a hard sell. He is knowledge and suggestions on design and look were fab., really understanding what you are looking to achieve and coming up with some amazing ideas. we booked in had a date to commence and sadly
Then came covid 19 and the project was put on hold. Thankfully once the lockdown eased the project could go ahead.
SUPER DAN ARRIVED and was ABSOLUTELY amazing. His attention to detail his craftmanship and skill meant we received a finished product way beyond our expectation. the social distancing protocols worked perfectly and the job finished to time.
If you are in the market for a makeover or new kitchen- we had mostly new with some cupboards staying then these guys will deliver.
fabulous quality, great value for money and nothings a problem attitude.
Dan couldn't have done all the work without James who is a fabulous addition to the team again going about his work with a high degree of care and thought.
We would recommend Happy kitchens without doubt and look forward to posting some pictures in the next few weeks when we have our floor finished

Comment from Happy Kitchens - Bespoke Kitchens & Joinery:
Hi Guys, thanks so much for an amazing review , All the best Ben and the team
I have used many contractors over the years some good some bad we now live in a retirment apartment in Hayling Island and needed the Kitchen refurbished after having a few quotes from different companies I saw an advert for happy kitchens contacted them and they came out to quote and from then on I had a very HAPPY experience iI would go so far as to say the best experience from any contractors I have used they were superb friendly courteous nothing was to much trouble and nice to see craftsmen are still around.
Ben was true business professional and Mitch and James carried out a really nice job very pleased and would highly recommend this company with no hesitation whatsoever and for what I considered a very reasonable price All the best for the future to HAPPY KITCHENS

Ben and his team have been nothing short of exceptional throughout the process of renovating my kitchen, no problem is too difficult to solve, nor too small for consideration.
Upon changing my mind about some details on the fly, the team at Happy Kitchens were able to handle these with a great level of flexibility and ingenuity. Most companies would install a product to a specification, but the service offered is more bespoke, and as a result leaves a better quality finish.
Every design suggestion that Ben made was clearly made with the customers best interest at heart, instead of whichever brand or product gives the best margins.
The work was completed to an unparalleled standard, with particular credit due to Dan for his attention to detail (possibly even more OCD than me!) and strong work ethic.
I would not hesitate to recommend Happy Kitchens to anyone!

We have recently had a makeover of our very tired looking kitchen with Happy Kitchens & Interiors and are absolutely delighted with the result and high standard of workmanship accomplished. The whole process from beginning to end has been entirely straightforward and stress free with Dan and James working very hard as a team and paying close attention to every detail and Ben giving us the benefit of his expert advice on colours and materials in the first place. We would highly recommend this company to anyone considering a similar project - they won't be disappointed!

Overall an excellent service with convenient and quick turnaround times. My daughter recommended we give them a go after they did a makeover on her kitchen. Certainly being able to reuse about half the units kept us interested in both reduced cost and wastage. Design ideas from Ben were helpful but always the premise was to build a kitchen that suited us; not just what could be fitted around standard units.
Work started on time, got going quickly with Dan and Martin and all kept up to schedule. Problems were dealt with without fuss. When we decided to make changes to original spec they immediately came up with ideas on how this could be done. they also accepted and accommodated a number of my own DIY ideas! Overall they went over and above what our expectations would have been. We only found one snag at the end of the job, immediately completed. Can only recommend the workforce and the ethos of the team.

Decided to use Happy Kitchens when Ben told me the history of skilled guys he has doing the kitchen makeovers. Having worked on fitting out super yachts etc I knew the work would be of a high standard, and I wasn’t disappointed. From start to finish Dan and the team worked continuously hard and with great communication along the way tweaking here and there to make the most of space I have. I gained so much from the makeover it is as if new to be honest with everything working so smoothly as I had hoped for. So pleased to have used Happy Kitchens, best Christmas present I could have got myself!

Happy Kitchens provided a great service from start to finish and made the whole process incredibly easy.
The kitchen has been transformed from tired and dull to fresh and bright, it’s an area of the house that I now enjoy being in. The built in wardrobes make the bedroom feel so much cosier, and have smoothed out a difficult alcove space.
The quality of the workmanship is exceptional, the team lead by ‘Super Dan’, worked tirelessly to get it to a high quality finish. The end result is outstanding and I cannot recommend Happy Kitchens enough.
Thank you Happy Kitchens team, from a happy customer!

Ben came and sized up replacement doors and cupboards for our existing kitchen and while there we took the opportunity to enquire about a kitchen bookcase and a new cupboard. Nothing was any problem for Ben to put into the design.
The date for the kitchen refit was organised really quickly and was set for a couple of weeks after the quote, both of which were excellent.
On the week of the refit Martin and Mitch were exceptional in their professionalism and skill. Both worked tirelessly to achieve the job within the five days but the quality of their work was never forfeit in any way.
The end result was a kitchen which has been transformed beyond recognition with major additions of a breakfast bar and extra new and replacement cupboards.
We are so impressed with the finish that we have asked Ben to measure up for some bespoke non standard size bedroom cabinets that we would like them to build.
In summary quality work carried out by highly skilled tradesmen. Pity there are only five stars.

We have just had a completely new kitchen and utility room designed and fitted by Ben and his dedicated fitters (Dan, Mitch, Martin and James) and would’nt hesitate to recommend Happy Kitchens. As they are a relatively small company they are able to give you a more personal service and provide a good value solution.
Ben gave us useful guidance during the design process, but was also open to our ideas, so we ended up with a design that we really loved. The installation started on the date that was agreed when we signed the contract and the materials and workmanship was of the highest quality. There were a couple of minor changes to the design, which we requested during the installation, and these were catered for, without any hassle, and as part of the original cost.
The finished kitchen is a complete transformation and works extremely well.
I have included some before after after pictures below ……..

Our kitchen and utility room have been transformed and we are totally happy! The rooms have had a complete makeover with additional cupboards, an island unit based on our own design and an amazing new seamless work surface.
Having spent far too long deliberating over a new kitchen it was a relief when Ben visited us at home. He understood immediately what we were trying to achieve and gave us excellent practical advice and good ideas to refine and improve our plans. His 'can do', energetic and professional approach is brilliant and he made the whole process easy and straightforward. His team of craftsmen, in particular Dan, are wonderful. Courteous, friendly and professional, their workmanship, knowledge and attention to detail is amazing. Everything (and more!) was done within the time frames given.
I just wish we'd given Ben the job years ago!

Happy Kitchens stand out from the crowd as they take pride in their work, pay great attention to detail and are prepared to go the extra mile with minimal disruption whist carrying out the work .
Ben impressed us from the start with his friendliness, enthusiasm and innovative ideas for our kitchen project and the fitting team, led by Dan, were highly skilled, tidy and courteous.
Everyone we dealt with gave us the impression that nothing was too much trouble.
We have undertaken many home refurbishment projects during twenty seven years of being home owners and this one is hard to beat.
We are delighted with our Happy Kitchen!

Boring badly designed kitchen transformed in 2 weeks - amazing . Superb advice and planning then continuous implementation with no irritating breaks in the refurbishment. All the people involved in it were professional courteous and I ( and dog !) actually missed them when they left ! Also more ‘ green’ than a whole new kitchen by utilising many original cupboards.
Would unreservedly recommend .

We moved into a new build 2 years ago and have never been happy with our kitchen as it was not our style at all and completely unpractical.
We came across the excellent reviews for Happy Kitchens and arranged an initial quote. Ben came round to see us and completely got my vision for what I wanted our kitchen to look like, he made multiple suggestions and came up with some cracking ideas!
Ben spent 2 hours with us discussing and planning our kitchen which we found very reassuring and enjoyable and did not hesitate to book Happy Kitchens.
Our fitters Martin and James are amazing craftsman and created a beautiful space for us. They were open to any questions we had and went out of their way to accomadate us.
We are absolutely chuffed with our finished kitchen, it's changed the whole feel of our house and it finally feels like home!
We would recommend Happy Kitchens to anyone and already have had family and friends who have seen our kitchen and would love Happy Kitchens to fit theirs.

I found Happy Kitchens on Houzz and took a bit of a gamble as the reviews were encouraging and I liked that they were a small, local company. From the outset, Ben was extremely professional and his whole approach is about understanding what the client wants and working with you to ensure that the final product is exactly that. Having looked at a number of the large kitchen companies, Happy Kitchens won out primarily because of their outstanding customer service and their flexible approach. Ben worked through the details of our kitchen planning with great patience and his design suggestions were really helpful.
The Happy Kitchen team were all fantastic; punctual, hardworking, incredibly tidy and most importantly they really cared about the quality of their work. Martin led the team and he is a very skilled craftsman with incredible attention to detail. Our old house threw up a few unexpected surprises when the work started but Ben and Martin found solutions to everything, calling in favors’ and finding other high-quality tradespeople to ensure the Happy Kitchen work could continue as quickly as possible. Ben was on holiday (on the other side of the world) during some of our build but even then, he stayed in constant communication to ensure that all the problems were sorted out very quickly. The team on site kept us up to date and gave a detailed progress report everyday so even though the timings had to change somewhat, we always knew exactly what was going on.
We are really thrilled with our new kitchen and it has totally exceeded our expectations. Martin is a perfectionist and made several suggestions and creative tweaks along the way to ensure that our kitchen would be perfect. The quality of the units and worktops that Happy Kitchens supplied is excellent but it’s really the professional finish and small details that really makes the difference. They have managed to transform a boxy 1930’s space into a light, airy, open plan space that feels 50% bigger than the previous kitchen, yet has much more storage than before – we love it!
I’ve never written an online review before but Happy Kitchens deserves it and all the other five star reviews you see here. If you are thinking of a new kitchen, don’t hesitate to contact them, you won’t regret it.

Happy Kitchens completely renovated our kitchen, transformed two wardrobes and built us a lovely cupboard in our storage room.
Ben was really enthusiastic during our initial consultations and extremely helpful with assisting us with our choices. He was also very accommodating when we changed our minds on a couple of elements during the process.
Dan, our main fitter, could not have been more professional, flexible or helpful when we had a coulpe of small niggles, all of which were resolved with a smile – an absolute star! The other fitters who worked with Dan were all very couteous and hard-working.
The key thing we recognised is their desire to make the customer happy – Job well done!
Thank you Ben, Dan and James.

From the time we first contacted Happy Kitchens we were made to feel that whatever WE wanted was their prime concern.
We have just had our kitchen remodelled and face-lifted. Having recently moved in, we had some ideas about changes that we would like made in the kitchen. However when Ben came round and talked it through with us we realised that our ideas could become something great.
With the details sorted and deposit paid, a date for the work to be carried out was agreed. On said date the team of fitters arrived and were absolutely fantastic. They were very hard working and forever cleaning up after themselves, to the extent that when they had finished, they even swept up the small residue of sawdust on the drive.
The quality of the materials and workmanship is first class. Altogether a very professional outfit that we would recommend to anyone.

Happy Kitchens designed and installed three bespoke built in wardrobes at our new property. We had high expectations as they came recommended and they didn’t disappoint. The quality of product, craftsmanship and general can-do attitude is not something you see every day. We’re so happy and can’t wait to have the guys back to install a water softener and kitchen upgrade. Thank you Happy Kitchens!

My Happy Kitchen was completed last month and I am thrilled with it.
Our project was a fairly large one , which involved removing a wall , stripping out the old kitchen ( which I managed to sell via the internet ) , laying a new machined oak floor and then finally installing the new kitchen.
I had to organise all the different trades involved which was initially rather daunting , but Ben was always on the end of the phone to provide advice and support which was invaluable.
We worked together to plan the kitchen but Ben had many useful suggestions, all of which I ran with and I am so happy with the final result. The kitchen has turned out exactly as we had planned.
We had one particularly tricky area to accommodate which was around the Aga. I had to trust Dan , the fitter , to make it work and he did.
His attention to detail was fantastic and he put in long shifts to make sure everything was fitted to the highest standard. Nothing was too much bother and he went above and beyond his remit , in fixing new skirting boards for us and window architraves.
I felt I was taking a leap of faith going with a relatively new and small company , but I was keen to use local tradesmen and I’m very pleased I did.
I’m sure I would have paid another 15-20 thousand pounds if I had gone for a more well known outfit.
If you live in Hampshire feel free to come and inspect their handiwork !

We moved into our house in Broughton in January this year and although the kitchen was serviceable its layout did not work for us. We looked at the usual suspects John Lewis and Wickes etc and found Happy Kitchens advertising in a local magazine. We were initially interested in Happy Kitchens because of the unusual concept of renewing an existing kitchen verses buying a new one. That was not an option we had considered.
After an initial meeting with Ben at Happy Kitchens we decided that the kitchen face lift option would not work for us.
So we invited John Lewis, Wickes and Happy Kitchens in to provide designs and quotations for a new kitchen so that we had a range of options to select from.
The resulting designs were similar and the quotations were all in the same ball park. However, Ben was by far the most helpful as a potential supplier and this was important for us. He was more interested in ensuring we were happy with what he was proposing, he also advised us about disposing of our existing kitchen and where we could get the best deal on our new kitchen appliances.
After doing some detailed external research it was clear to us that the business model that John Lewis and Wickes had where their fitters are independent to the supplier did not provide a good level of comfort for us. Happy Kitchens have their own employed fitters.
We proceeded with Happy Kitchens however my only concern was that as a small and relatively new company how secure was my money. Ben explained that he only wanted 50% of the overall cost in advance and if I paid that on a credit card then that would be protected and the balance paid once we were happy with the completed kitchen. This was a good option as both the other suppliers wanted the full fee paid prior to any work starting which included the fitters fee.
The kitchen is now completed and today I have, with pleasure, paid the balance due. The kitchen is fabulous I guess everybody says that so look at the pictures it really is very good. We went for the Wharf worktops and slash backs which together with the integrated sink create a totally seamless surface from worktop to ceiling - no joins and no dirt harboring places. The fitting team are fantastic well skilled and dedicated to making your Happy Kitchen perfect. They have a work pedigree that includes high end luxury boat building so their work quality is exquisite. You just need to keep them fueled with coffee and they also take away all the rubbish. I would happily recommend the Happy Kitchen team to anyone.

Wow wow Wow happy kitchens are amazing. We decided to have a consultation with Ben to talk about designing our new kitchen which was all done at our house. He went through different options and showed us how it would be laid out all on the laptop. Even when we decided to change all our ideas Ben was amazing and redesigned it all for us, nothing was too much trouble for him.
All the work On our new kitchen was done while we were away and when we came back we were gobsmacked by how wonderful our kitchen looked. It was better than we had imagined. From the work tops, cupboards, lighting etc there was not one thing we could fault.
We shopped around before we decided to have happy kitchens do the works on our house and not one other kitchen fitter listened to our ideas and offered the finishes which happy kitchens did.
5 stars is not enough outstanding work and thank you so much for transforming our house.
Many thanks Danielle and Paul Kirby

Blown away by this review, thank you so much guys, it was an absolute pleasure working with you guys on design and then doing your kitchen
Thank you Ben and your team. When we moved in, our kitchen desperately needed updating but we needed to retain the granite worktops already in place, so were a little restricted on options. Ben gave us some excellent advice and recommendations over two visits and was able to give us a clear idea of what would work best for us. This included the addition of two new base cabinets under the worktop, something other contractors were not prepared to undertake.
Having seen a friend’s recent makeover by Happy Kitchens, we knew this was the way to go, and we weren’t disappointed.
Martin and Mitch were brilliant on-site, and were able to adapt a few other ‘quirks’ of our kitchen. They tidied up every evening before they left, leaving us with a working kitchen. They were professional and courteous and nothing was too much trouble.
A highly recommended team of professionals.

From the outset Ben was professional, helpful and patient and his enthusiam in the process of helping us achieve our desired kitchen makeover was self evident. Once the decision was made we eagerly awaited installation week even though in preparing for the renovation there is a fair degree of disruption in emptying the cupboards, and with it a sense of pending invasion. However Dan and James arrived on the first day, swung into action and were essentially a joy to have in the house inspite of the inevitable disruption! They were always polite and cheerful, making helpful suggestions along the way and taking time over detail where needed, and by the end of the week the transformation was complete. Were we happy with the result? Yes, absolutely delighted, and whilst I don't anticipate needing another kitchen makeover in the near future, I would not hesitate to ask Ben and his team back again.

We were recommended Happy Kitchens by a friend. We were after 2 large fitted wardrobes in 2 bedrooms. And we are absolutely over the moon with the end results. Ben came round and we told him what we were after and he came up with some genius space saving ideas. We were able to chose the design we liked with the brochure left with us. Ben returned a week later to measure up. The fitters Turned up between half 8-9 o’clock each day and left around dinner time. Very hard working with little or no breaks! Right troopers! Always kept updated through the process. Very friendly team who always respect the house leaving it clean and tidy each night. 4 and half days in total for our 2 wardrobes to be fitted. Will recommend and definitely use Happy Kitchens for our future house projects. Thank you to Ben, Martin and James.

We chose Happy kitchens to give our old kitchen a makeover because Ben came across not only as a true professional but also a kind and trustworthy person. He said yes ,rather than no we can't do that. When I had trouble with flooring from another company ,he gave solutions and alternatives and put my mind at rest. Dan and Mitch were quick bur thorough and a joy to have in the house They did everything to ensure my kitchen was perfect for Christmas and cleaned thoroughly before leaving. Dan even put my new clock up for me. The end result made me cry. I am thrilled with my new kitchen and would totally recommend Happy kitchens to anyone. Thank you so much Ben Dan and Mitch.

“We had just moved and wanted to update and bring colour and a contemporary feel into our existing kitchen but wanted to avoid the large Corporate Companies. We found the answer in Happy Kitchens when Ben brought his showroom to us, and the experience of choosing units and colours turned out to be an exciting one, rather than daunting and disappointing. When it came to installation, the team of fitters including Martin, James and Mitch were spot-on with their time keeping, efficiency and workmanship. We were consulted where decisions mattered and nothing seemed too much trouble. We are both thrilled with our kitchen and can’t believe the transformation. Post customer service is as important and they can’t be faulted. They even returned to check all the units a week later for any ‘tweaks’. A happy team, led by Ben and we would 100% recommend them. They deserve to do well.” Thank you

Happy Kitchens were recommended to us by neighbours & within a few minutes of meeting Ben we knew that we wanted him & his team to work on our Kitchen.
Ben visited us on 2 occasions so we could view the potential options in both daylight and also at night to ensure the colour scheme worked for us. Ben offered his expert advice without once feeling pressured and was more than happy to accommodate us when we wanted to change our mind on a few final touches. A pleasent surprise was that they fitted all our new appliances without any additional charge.
The team who completed the job were a pleasure to deal with & worked exceptionally hard ensuring the kitchen was completed on schedule, the whole team treated our home with the utmost respect & we cannot be more pleased with the result.

The main reason I was attracted to Happy Kitchens was the fact the showroom was brought to my home. I was able to see the samples in my own home, which was such a benefit when it came to choosing the colours as it was clear to see how they would look in the natural light of my house. Ben clearly has a keen eye for details, he had lots of great space saving ideas and provided advice on the most practical uses of my kitchen, even down to what I should keep in each draw to make my kitchen work for me and my family. Highly recommend the team at Happy Kitchens, its five starts all round in terms of cost, professionalism and quality.

Happy Kitchens were customer focused, they paid great attention to detail, they turned up exactly as agreed and finished the job on time. The three workers involved, Dan, James and Laurence were polite, helpful, hard working and conscientious. I cannot fault this company in anyway and the kitchen is now as good as new and at half the price of a new kitchen. Well done Happy Kitchens - a great job

Thanks Robert. Always great to hear positive feedback from a happy customer :)
We were very pleased to find Happy Kitchens to do some renovation for our kitchen, when other companies wanted only to fit a whole kitchen, so were less helpful. Ben was really friendly and had good ideas, which have worked well. The team were very professional and finished the work on time and to our satisfaction.

From first meeting Ben we knew that we had found the right company to refurbish our tired kitchen. Happy Kitchens certainly lives up to its name! Ben, Martin and James were a pleasure to have in our home and the work has been carried out with skill and efficiency. Our new cupboard doors and lighting are fantastic - we would highly recommend Happy Kitchens to anyone looking to update, or replace their kitchen.

This company restored our confidence after a bad experiences with a big name company. The fitters worked hard ,efficiently and quickly to create a fabulous kitchen. They gave meticulous attention to every detail and showed genuine enthusiasm for their craft. They were always on time..
Ben was always available to advise and oversee.
We are delighted with the quality of the products we chose. A very happy kitchen indeed.

We have just had our kitchen refurbished and new appliances installed, for a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen. It looks fabulous, clean lines, contemporary colours - a complete 'makeover'. All the new appliances were tested, cleaned and up and running for me when I came to use them. Dan and his colleague were very efficient, turned up on time in the morning, hoovered up when they had completed the job and their attention to detail was exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

It was a pleasure to deal with this company, from the initial order right through to the final snags. They were customer focused from day one and willing to hold your hand through the whole process. The fitters were obviously skilled craftsmen, taking immense pride in their work and going the extra mile to hand back a fully functional kitchen within the time stated. Any design or supplier issues were easily overcome with minimal stress. They were also fun to have in the house and we would happily endorse the choice of company name. Anybody concerned that the retention of original carcasses will not transform their kitchen should not worry any more. Everybody who's seen our new kitchen is amazed and impressed.

We can't thank Ben and his team enough for the fabulous job they did on our kitchen. We worked with Ben for a few weeks beforehand, explaining the vision we had. He was able to help us by introducing suppliers and making suggestions that enhanced the whole project. From start to finish we were treated courteously and with patience by every team member we met. Old fashioned service from a fully professional team - can't recommend them higher.

We are extremely pleased with the kitchen makeover undertaken by Happy Kitchens. The work was very well done by the fitters who completed the job on time and with minimum disturbance to the household. The finished product is to a high standard and we are most satisfied.

Happy Kitchens have refurbished our kitchen. Professional company throughout! Ben confidently and ably lead us through the planning, as to which units could be reused and which needed full replacement. A slight change in the layout of the kitchen which we requested was readily incorporated. All appointments were kept on time and the start date was kept. Martin expertly fitted the units, worktops and splashbacks, as well as appliances. A request for a tray space resulted in a bespoke design, and it looks fantastic, and a unit with shelves was hand made to complete joining the top units. All the work is completed to a high standard. Martin was sometimes ably assisted by other members in the team. We would happlily recommend Happy Kitchens. In a nutshell, WOW, what a Kitchen Makeover!

I have just had a new kitchen installed by Happy Kitchens and I can not fault the service at all. The company was recommended to me by a friend (always a good start), the planning was easy and I did not feel pressured at all. My questions and concerns were all answered with professionalism, and innovative solutions were found to some of the more quirky aspects of the room! The installation went really smoothly, the fitters were polite, friendly, tidy and even put up with my preference for Radio 4! The workmanship is excellent, right down to the finest details and the finished kitchen is quite simply gorgeous. All my friends are envious and I am a very happy Happy Kitchens customer :)

We looked at a couple of companies to replace our kitchen cupboard doors plus a redesign of the work areas. Happy Kitchens came up with the best ideas and offered the best price to carry out the work. The installers were brilliant, and being a very fussy person, I was very pleased with the way that the installation was completed. The quality of the components used was much better than that which can be bought at popular DIY stores, and the total installation was completed on-time as scheduled.
Very much liked the approach to supply of new cooker and other white goods. This was up to us to source (if we wanted) and they installed them. This meant that we could take advantage of post Christmas sales, and pocket the benefit for ourselves.
Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to transform their kitchen.

Happy Kitchens were fantastic from start to finish and we would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of updating their kitchen. We were given insightful advice on how to improve our kitchen and offered a huge range of options to get the look we wanted. When it came to fitting, the kitchen it was completed in five days to an excellent quality finish by a very courteous and professional fitter (Martin). Overall, very pleased and would not hesitate in using Happy Kitchens again.

Happy kitchens have been exceptionally helpful with the renovation of the kitchen in the small flat I rent out. I had an idea what I wanted however with skillful advice I have a much better solution than I first envisaged. The company have outstanding customer service and their workmanship is to the highest quality. I would recommend them highly.

From the moment we decided to give our kitchen a makeover, Ben and his team were fantastic! Ben had some great ideas to make our kitchen "flow" and look and feel bigger. I approached several companies and Happy Kitchens had the best price and the best ideas.
Dan,the kitchen fitter, was amazing! He is clearly a perfectionist and made sure that every detail was just right. He left our kitchen neat and tidy every evening and tried to make sure we had a functioning oven as soon as possible.
Everything went smoothly and we couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! I would highly recommend Happy Kitchens!

Thanks for the awesome review guys :-) Much appreciated, Ben
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys. Transformed our kitchen from a boring beige decor chosen by the original developer to a modern white/bright contemporary look.
From the initial consultation through to completion the whole team were friendly and professional. Along with the installation of the doors they also replaced a shelf so it matched the finish of the new kitchen and adjusted the fitting of our dishwasher which had been installed incorrectly by another company a few weeks earlier.
The job was started and completed on the dates originally agreed.

What an amazing company. Extraordinary customer service, really high quality product, fantastic design ideas and advice, and the craftsmanship absolutely second to none - including bespoke tailor making of some units and products. And what is more, delivered quickly, and on schedule as promised, despite some unexpected issues arising; the fitter Dan went the extra mile to resolve and complete on time. We ended up with a top quality product and at an incredibly good value price.
We have a number of friends who have had their kitchens done by the usual big name companies, who paid more, had installation problems and delays, and ended up with an obviously inferior product.
Frankly you would be mad to look anywhere else based on our experience.

From the moment we met Ben until Martin had completed the work the service we received was first class. Ben's eye for design helped us to improve on our ideas. Martin and James were professional in every way. Nothing was too much trouble. If difficulties arose they were quickly dealt with. The final result has been admired by all our family and friends.

We were delighted with the service Ben and his team provided for initial meeting through to completion. Ben listened to our ideas but also came up with some practical and design ideas too which have worrked well. The fitters were really professional and worked around us and the dog. The week it took to fit was a lot less than having everything new installed but the re configured what we had and added the new in. The finish is what we expected and hoped for and we are thrilled with the finish and look of our new kitchen. Would highly recommend this company.

It was a real pleasure working with yourselves on this project.
Team Happy
Happy Kitchens were hired to re vamp my very tired kitchen turning it into a place of joy and happiness!!
They replaced some doors, completely changing the surrounds to reflect the new colour and finish, you really cannot tell that they are my old cupboards they are sparkling.
Happy Kitchens also added some new cupboards which are beautiful and practical. They integrated a dishwasher and covered my ugly boiler with a lovely cupboard to match the kitchen, this was a transformation.
The fitter also worked tirelessly to ensure the finish was absolutely perfect he really went over and above and cannot recommend these guys enough.
Ben is lovely to deal with also, so no horrible salesman will call - Just Ben :)
I spend more of my time in my kitchen now and saved around £13k vs a quote from a leading DIY store :)
