From design to project management to installation, all top notch
As is typical these days, we spend more time in the kitchen than in any other room, so it has to look good, feel good and function well. Many of the kitchen designers we spoke to were good on 2 out of 3 of these but Controlled Interiors were the only ones to satisfy us fully on all 3; hence, we chose them. The work completed 2-3 weeks ago so we’ve lived with it for a while, and this was absolutely the right decision – in short, we’re delighted.
Guy listened to us closely and came up with plans and designs that suited our preferences and lifestyle. He has a fine design eye, both for aesthetics and for space and how to use it, both where it’s limited and plentiful. But also, when it comes to the critical, and expensive, machinery – hobs, ovens etc – Guy knows his stuff and was invaluable in steering us towards the items that best suit our preferences and lifestyle.
But all that’s just plans: the devil is in the implementation, and Guy knows he’s only as good as the people who do this. Firstly, he has an excellent project manager in Penny, who kept us well informed and the installation running on time and with minimum disruption and impact on the rest of the house. And all the installers, fitters, plumbers, electricians were without exception marvellous: thoughtful, considerate and pleasant to have around. But none of that matters unless they’re excellent craftsmen…and luckily, they’re all diligent, careful, thorough professionals who take pride in delivering quality work.
So I’d unreservedly recommend Controlled Interiors should you want a new kitchen with minimum disruption and maximum end result.
