The first was a complete renovation and remodelling of our bathroom and then we followed this up with the kitchen having been so delighted with the end result for the bathroom. Neil spends time with you to understand your budget and requirements, is able to add his years of experience to provide different design ideas and show many samples of products to see how they look together. Nothing was too much trouble, he makes you feel valued and listened to and has a desire to create an end result that will be beyond what you could have hoped for. If you want cheap and run of the mill then Kensington isn't for you. They aim to provide high quality products, excellent design and installation to give any renovation the 'wow' factor. The team of fitters, particularly Nick for the bathroom and Steve for the kitchen are really decent people who you can easily build a rapport with. With them you know it isn't about rushing a job to get it done quickly. It's about quality preparation, an eye for detail and taking the time to make the project right. Neil also keeps a watchful eye on things to ensure everything is going to plan. We are absolutely thrilled by our two renovations and know we made the right choice to use Kensington Studios. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else." > Source: Karl Greenhalgh (5.0, via FreeIndex) > "We are really pleased with our new kitchen and would definitely recommend Kensington Studio.
