The brief, to create a harmonious space full of warmth for the family to spend time together and relax after a busy day at work or school. More than just a direct replacement of the clients existing kitchen, the design needed to be durable, modern and flexible to create a beautiful and functional kitchen diner that also facilitates home working. The design complements the modernist, classic feel from the Crittall windows and characterful Victorian architecture.

The customer service is second to none. The kitchen design and choice is superb.

Very professional company. A pleasure to work with. The kitchen designed and workmanship was stunning. They really listened to our wants and lifestyle needs. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

It really is an excellent service. No detail is left unchecked. Everything from the beginning has been amazing. The initial design was well thought out, imaginative & exciting. All our questions no matter how silly were answered. Measurements on site were checked very carefully which meant when issues were found they could be resolved before the kitchen was ordered. It arrived on time & was fitted with the same care & attention we'd come to expect. The kitchen itself - WOW!

After visiting a number of kitchen specialist, KCA were the only ones who listened and were able to translate my ideas into reality. The final product was perfect and the service and after care provided was exceptional.

We found their design to be unique, resulting in a bespoke kitchen which excelled our expectations. Excellent aftercare and would not hesitate to recommend.

KCA have been a pleasure to work with from the very start of the project. They listened to my requirements, designed a beautiful kitchen and built it on time and to budget. The whole team have an excellent eye for detail and a great sense of customer service; I could not recommend them more highly.

I cannot recommend the team at KCA highly enough. From concept to completion the whole experience was seamless.

From concept design to finished kitchen the process was seamless. KCA not only produced a great design but their interface with the architect and builders made the project a great success.

KCA came up with the design for our open plan kitchen/dining/family space and we loved it immediately. No other kitchen designer/supplier came close!

We are THRILLED! KCA are a very professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring business. Their attention to detail and our requirements were always top of their list.

From concept to completion the whole experience was seamless. Being interested in interior design I had quite a specific vision for my kitchen and KCA wholly embraced my input making me feel very much part of the decision making process whilst using their expertise to guide and steer regarding practicality and functionality.

Just Perfect from the point of walking into the showroom and the journey taken to the end product including aftercare.

The customer service is second to none. The kitchen design and choice is superb.

KCA were the 3rd kitchen design company we approached, they were the only ones to listen to us and our design requests and ideas. The 3D view of how the kitchen would look was perfect.

The kitchen fitter is very efficient & an excellent communicator, his work is to a very high standard & he is very tidy!

Very friendly, informative and helpful service. I would definitely use KCA again. Thank you all.

The design of the kitchen differed hugely from any of the others we received. This really was a "design". Clever and inspiring, not just someone drawing what we'd said. The fitting was efficient with the same regard to detail.

Great service from start to finish.

Always a pleasure to deal with, fantastic designs and great service all round.

KCA have installed a new hob and oven, a Quooker tap and new work surfaces. I am overjoyed with the results.
