Kitchen Design Centre to the rescue

Melvyn and Lorraine Alsop were left high and dry after a company, which they commissioned to redesign and build their new kitchen, went into receivership.

Kitchen Plan

Kitchen Design Centre to the rescue

The couple, from Warrington, had to search for someone else who could complete the task of remodelling their 20-year-old kitchen with dedication and diligence.

After attending a live cooking demonstration, at the Manchester showroom, they decided that Kitchen Design Centre’s innovative approach to kitchen design, and its professionalism, was exactly what they were looking for.

The designs had already passed the conception phase when Kitchen Design Centre took over the job.

After a few design changes, to ensure maximum space and symmetry, Kitchen Design Centre started work.

Suzanne, designer at Kitchen Design Centre, said: “This work was fairly unique because there was quite a lot of internal building and construction work to be done.

“It was essential that the task was completed within a five week deadline, since the couple wanted to use their new kitchen for their daughter’s 21st birthday party.”

Creating the German-style kitchen meant combining three rooms -by knocking down, and reconstructing, a number of walls and features.

A kitchen, utility room and living room was combined and transformed into one multi-functional modern kitchen and living space.

Incorporated within the kitchen is a long kitchen island, complete with a breakfast bar at the end. This brings extra storage and worktop space as well as serving as a family meeting area.

There is also a living area with a wall-mounted television.

Finished Kitchen

The kitchen houses all the latest modern appliances, such as induction hobs, a combination microwave oven, warming drawers and an integrated fridge freezer.

“These modern appliances assist us greatly with every day living,” said Melvyn. “Particularly useful, is the boiling hot water tap, or Quooker. It dramatically cuts down cooking time and saves worktop space.

“The Quooker is useful for boiling eggs, making pasta, and for coffee and tea, as well as many other every day kitchen tasks.

“I also love the way everything is easily accessible. You hardly have to move to reach anything you need.”

With noticeably larger windows, and more lighting, the kitchen feels open and bright. This is in stark contrast with their old, comparatively small kitchen.

Like many of Kitchen Design Centre’s customers, the couple chose Silestone worktops. With its special ‘Microban Antibacterial Protection’, it is extremely easy to clean and highly scratch and stain resistance.

Melvyn and Lorraine’s fantastic new multi-functional kitchen is everything they wanted – and they were impressed with all the hard work the designer and fitter put in.

“We had absolutely no problems throughout,” said Melvyn. “I was extremely pleased with how attentive Manchester Kitchen Design Centre was. If there was even a tiny problem, the staff members immediately corrected it – because they wanted the kitchen to be absolutely perfect.

“One of our neighbours was so impressed with our new kitchen, that they have already commissioned Kitchen Design Centre to re-design their kitchen.”

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER

As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.

With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
