We moved into our home about four years ago, and I knew straight away that the kitchen needed a complete makeover — it was so outdated and tired! I wasn’t sure where to start, so we focused on renovating the other rooms first, and finally took the plunge this year. I initially visited Wren just to get some ideas, but I knew I wanted to support a local business instead. One evening I searched for kitchen companies nearby and came across Home Design — I couldn’t believe I’d probably driven past it so many times! After reading the reviews and recognising some local names, I asked around and everyone spoke highly of them. When we visited Home Design, we were warmly welcomed by Shahid, who showed us different styles and options. He came out later that day to take measurements and said he’d be in touch — and honestly, by that point, I already knew I wanted to go with them! We booked in, paid the deposit, and had our kitchen fitted in September. One of the best things about Home Design is that they project manage everything — from fitting to plumbing, electrical work, and plastering. They have all the right contacts and coordinate it all seamlessly. I also bought all my appliances through Home Design, which made the process even easier. The best part is that my guarantees are directly with the manufacturers, not with a store like Currys — a huge bonus for peace of mind. Our full kitchen renovation, from removal to installation, was completed in just three weeks! Considering how hard it can be to find and schedule reliable tradespeople, that’s incredible. Shahid handled everything efficiently and professionally. I’ve attached before and after photos — a complete transformation! The “before” pictures are honestly a bit embarrassing, but so worth sharing to show what Home Design can achieve. I can’t recommend Shahid, Sajid and Home Design enough. I now have my dream kitchen, and Shahid was always just a call away — nothing was ever too much trouble. He’s full of ideas, solutions, and genuinely cares about his customers. Sajid handled the design and appliances — such a fantastic team! Both were always approachable, full of ideas, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The guarantee is also excellent for peace of mind. Forget the big chains — support your local businesses! You won’t regret it.
