  • Andy simply transformed our home. From Day 1 he has listened and advised in equal measure and we are very grateful for his expertise and experience. David made fitting it look very easy and we definitely appreciate his tidiness and professionalism. Pippin really misses him!!

  • The service I experienced from Vale Designs on a recent kitchen renovation was excellent. Andy’s knowledge and help with the design was invaluable and he was flexible in his approach before it was finalised. The craftsmanship of the joinery and the painted finish are superb. Even though I live a considerable … More distance away the delivery and installation went very smoothly and the project was completed on time.This was the second kitchen supplied to me by Vale Designs and I would not hesitate to use them again.

What our clients say

Thank you so much for a lovely job and gorgeous finished kitchen! The whole experience has been a complete pleasure – great advice, great design, great craftsmanship, great finish!

Andrea Smith

I am so pleased with my kitchen. I absolutely love it. It is an absolute pleasure to use and to look at. From my first meeting with Andy, design input, provision of plans, choosing paint colours and door knobs, right to the end when the granite was fitted, all completely hassle-free.

Emma Burton, Surrey

We can recommend Vale Designs wholeheartedly. Andy patiently gives as much time and attention to those of us who ‘hum and ha’, and his design is detailed and imaginative. The product is really beautiful.

Rachel Booth

I love the work surface, the hob, the dishwasher, the cupboards, the drawers, everything. My kitchen is now a happy place.

Chris Lucock, Colchester

It was a pleasure to watch a craftsman work and everything fits just right. We love our kitchen, and we get so many compliments.
