Since opening its doors in 2009, Wren Kitchens has skyrocketed to the top, earning the title of the UK’s number one kitchen retail specialist and clinching the Best Kitchen Retailer award at the Your Home Awards 2018.

We spent a good part of the afternoon exploring the myriad of options, opening drawers, feeling the textures of worktops, and testing the smoothness of cabinet doors. Each setup felt like a miniature home, perfectly designed to inspire. 

We also had the chance to speak with a few customers, and their stories echoed our own impressions. One couple shared how their new Wren kitchen had become the heart of their home, the place where family and friends naturally gathered. 

While navigating the busy showroom, especially on weekends, can be a bit of a challenge, the effort is undeniably worth it. Our advice? Arrive early, take your time, and let yourself be inspired by the endless possibilities that Wren Kitchens offers.

Pleased

“We had a few appointments to select the kitchen that we wanted also for the measuring up. We chose a lovely cashmere colour for the units which we are really pleased with. The fitter came and gave us an estate as to how much it would cost to fit it all again we were pleased with the estimate.”

Seamless

“From start to finish our experience with Wren kitchens has been seamless. From the first time we visited the White City showroom we were greeted and received help and advice without it being pushy.”

Your Choice Home Improvement Centre is where kitchen dreams are made. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a dazzling array of stylish accessories that could add a unique touch to any kitchen or dining table.

Exploring their collection felt like a treasure hunt. We found ourselves particularly enchanted by the designer products from premium brands like Swan, Smeg, Alessi, Bugatti, Denby, and Brabantia. 

What sets Your Choice apart is not just their product range but their comprehensive service. We love that they offer a full design and build service, providing all the necessary tradesmen, such as electricians, plumbers, and joiners. 

We also couldn’t resist checking out the barware. We envisioned ourselves shaking up cocktails with Bugatti’s sleek bar tools or pouring drinks from a stylish decanter, creating memorable moments with a touch of elegance.

Just a heads-up: weekends can get pretty busy, so planning your visit accordingly is a good idea. Despite the crowds, the experience is seamless and inspiring. We left feeling motivated and full of ideas for our own kitchen projects.

We had the opportunity to witness the comprehensive range of services that Renovatik offers, beginning with a kitchen mid-transformation. The team was meticulously turning an old, outdated space into a modern, functional kitchen.

One homeowner we spoke with was thrilled about their ongoing kitchen renovation. They highlighted how Renovatik had been supportive throughout the entire process, from initial design discussions to the final touches. 

Our tour also introduced us to Renovatik’s bespoke fitted wardrobes and bedroom furniture. A couple we chatted with couldn’t contain their excitement over their new fitted wardrobes, which not only maximise storage but also added a touch of elegance to their bedroom.

What truly set Renovatik apart during our visit was their holistic approach to projects. Offering free estimates and home visits, they ensure clients are well-informed and comfortable before any work begins. 

One thing to keep in mind is that due to the thoroughness and scope of their work, projects can take longer than anticipated. That said, the end results speak volumes, and the extra time invested is clearly reflected in the quality and detail of their work.

Smooth

“The whole process was very smooth and Kancho was approachable and communicated effectively throughout the project.”

–Sam Beckett, Google Review

Brilliant!

“We had our kitchen fitted by Kancho and his team. He is brilliant! He came to take measurements and help design the kitchen. “

The designs on display at Diane Berry were a perfect blend of style and functionality, making it clear that this isn’t just about aesthetics but also about creating spaces that work seamlessly in everyday life.

One of the first things we noticed was how Diane Berry Kitchens manages to marry stunning looks with practicality. Each kitchen design we explored had an undeniable elegance, yet everything seemed perfectly placed for ease of use. 

What really impressed us was the personalised service. The team here takes the time to understand your lifestyle and cooking habits, crafting a kitchen that feels like it’s been made just for you. 

As we explored, we saw them working closely with clients, discussing details that ranged from the grandiose to the minutiae, ensuring that every aspect of the kitchen would meet the client’s needs and desires.

We did note that the level of quality and personalization comes with a higher price tag. But for anyone looking to invest in a kitchen that truly reflects their style and meets their needs, it’s a worthwhile consideration. 

Visionaries!

“Diane Berry Kitchens are true kitchen design visionaries with stunning designs, selecting only the very best in class materials and appliances and truly deserve all the many awards they have won over the years.”

–Graham Brown, Google Review

Quick and no fuss

“Five stars are not enough for the service we received. We were kept fully informed of the progress of our order and given plenty of notice before installation. The work was completed quickly and with very little fuss.”

-Paul Baxter, Google Review

We observed their versatility firsthand at Handyman Manchester when a homeowner needed to refresh their kitchen with new cupboard doors and countertops, and the transformation was stunning. 

Their ability to manage both the functional and aesthetic elements of kitchen projects really stands out. We met a family who had their washing machine installed and their sink overflow fixed all in one appointment. 

The fixed-fee quote system they use is a relief for clients. Knowing the cost upfront without hidden charges adds a layer of trust and transparency that’s highly appreciated

Their reach spans across Manchester, including Crumpsall, Ashton, and Worsley. We spoke with a couple from Ashton who had a complete kitchen renovation and they were full of praise for the friendly, professional service.

However, it’s important to note that Handyman Manchester can be quite busy during peak times. This means that securing an appointment might require some advance planning. 

Cost effective

“Stuart was recommended by a friend, very professional always using highest quality material aswell as cost effective to make sure much money is saved”

High standard!

“Painted our kitchen and bathroom to a really high standard in no time at all. Definitely going to be using him to work on other parts of the house that need doing—no question!”
