I read the other reviews that were written prior to me writing this and I agree with them all. We looked at various options for our kitchen, from high street brands to a kitchen broker however neither fit our needs or were flexible enough to work with during these times of Covid. Jamie worked up our initial design that was modified multiple times over the course of a week, all done over email or messages....worked brilliantly when looking after 2 children and working from home.
James is fantastic, I cannot recommend him highly enough in terms of customer service and working together with us to

Jamie made and designed our kitchen and we couldnt be happier with the end result. There were some really tricky elements that Jamie and his team took in their stride, going above and beyond to find solutions and made the process so much easier. Our kitchen is stunning, the craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality I dont think you could match, certainly not in any mainstream kitchen supplier. We now have a beautiful handmade kitchen that is unique for us and will stand the test of time. I would 100% recommend Jamie and his team.

We had some fitted wardrobes made for our bedroom by Jamie. He was so helpful with choosing the right materials and style. He was able to design them to match some existing furniture we already had too. Nothing was too much trouble and his communication and customer service was brilliant. Theyre so well made and will last us forever. Thank you Jamie and team x

I am writing this review to say how delighted I am with the bedroom cupboards Jamie Knight built for me at my home. I was so impressed with the finished standard of the work, the cupboards look superb and a really top quality finish. I was also impressed with the initial help and suggestion for the design, where his advice was invaluable and the end product was just what I wanted to do the job and very grateful for Jamie for this.
Jamie is such a pleasant and kind person to work with, he remained calm throughout the process, even in meeting my particular standards and I highly recommend his work
