The Skipton Kitchen Company installed our maple-fronted kitchen in 2003, transforming it into a bright, modern and functional space. Eight years and thousands of meals later, the units and worktops still looked as good as when they were fitted. The appliances were excellent, and the installation was completed on schedule without any hassle.

Michael has a relaxed yet professional, can-do attitude, and over a couple of planning sessions my dream kitchen began to take shape. The precision of his work is plain to see. He translated all my ideas into reality and added thoughtful flourishes that made the space work even better. I wouldn’t change a thing.

In Bucks was a kitchen so sad,
An update it never had.
Then along came the man,
With it all in his van—
And this lady was ever so glad…

And still is, ten years on!

Michael fitted our new kitchen in 2010, and we are very happy with it. He is friendly, efficient and a perfectionist in his work. I felt completely at ease leaving him in the house when necessary, and he cleaned up thoroughly every day—even vacuuming the patio after cutting the worktops. I highly recommend him.

Michael designed a kitchen that worked around our needs and, at times, awkward space. He was relaxed and personable but professional throughout, remaining flexible when unexpected snags arose. The finished kitchen is of a very high standard, and the space is now a pleasure to work and relax in. We would highly recommend him.

After visiting the big brands, we decided to go local and met Michael. He was enthusiastic, experienced and had a real can-do attitude. His estimate matched—and sometimes bettered—the larger companies, while the quality of the cabinetry, worktops and installation was far superior. We now have a much-admired modern kitchen at a fair price.

We needed someone experienced who could guide us through the process from start to finish, with a creative, can-do attitude to problem-solving. Michael’s engineering background helped him turn challenges into imaginative solutions. He is a careful and talented joiner who takes great pride in his work. We are delighted with our dream kitchen.

From the design and quotation through to completion, we were impressed with Michael’s enthusiasm and creativity. He transformed a bland, dysfunctional kitchen into complementary kitchen and dining areas that flow seamlessly together, cleverly integrating the previously remote Aga. We now have a much-admired and very practical space. An excellent job, thanks, Michael!
