Copperfield Kitchens

Paul designed and installed for us a shelving unit to take books and our home cinema system. We live in a seventeenth century cottage and so sympathetic design and materials were essential. From the outset Paul was the consummate professional, producing drawings to meet the brief we gave him, discussing the final design, and then installing the shelves. We are thrilled with the result: shelves which are beautiful but functional, and the real enhancement to the look of the room. Throughout the project Paul was efficient, unobtrusive but always friendly and courteous. We recommend him highly to anyone thinking of undertaking a similar project.

From the moment we met Paul we felt completely confident in his professionalism and having been recommended by a friend were excited to discuss our dream kitchen with him. He did not disappoint and we are completely thrilled with everything. Paul was really helpful with the planning and design as we needed some ideas and the colours he suggested are just spot on. Paul was also very unobtrusive and thoughtful throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend his company. Thank you Paul

When we extended our house three years ago, we needed a completely new kitchen as it was going to be in a different part of the house. The problem was our existing kitchen was still structurally sound. Paul's skill and ingenuity meant we up cycled a lot of the existing units and with Paul's new bespoke drawer and cupboard fronts we ended up with a truly individual kitchen that most people comment on when they first visit. Thank you Paul - great job!

Paul Parker built our kitchen in 2008 and it still has the wow factor, wow is exactly what people say the first time they see it. Paul was polite and professional at all times even though he had to work around builders still at the Mill. Copperfield Kitchen have a distinctive look, I would say that look is perfection.

We can highly recommend Paul after he created a bespoke kitchen for us based on a picture we found in a magazine. We asked him to re-use as much as possible from the old kitchen shells and he duly created a lovely kitchen at a very reasonable price and minimum environmental impact. He took over seamlessly from the builder and provided a very personal and friendly service. He was very professional and ethical at all times and very helpful when discussing options.

Copperfield Kitchens were recommended to us by a friend when we were proposing a full kitchen replacement. We discussed our initial thoughts with Paul, and he helped us to develop those ideas into a coherent and very efficient design. Paul also introduced us to his work by visits to a couple of recent projects. We subsequently commissioned Paul to complete our design and install the entire kitchen. He took on board a couple of design changes we requested during the course of the work, and these were undertaken without difficulty. He liaised with the granite suppliers and coordinated the appliance installation. Post-works, he kept in touch to ensure that we were happy with the kitchen.....I'm pleased to say we were delighted. We have no hesitation in recommending Copperfield Kitchens.

Paul from Copperfield Kitchens designed and built our kitchen for us. we had several quotes but felt more comfortable working with Paul than anyone else. He did a fantastic job and we are very pleased with our new kitchen. We would have no hesitation in recommending Copperfield kitchens to anyone.

From the moment Paul from Copperfield Kitchens came to see us about our plans for a new kitchen we were impressed with both his drawings and his knowledge and professionalism. It was this reason we initially chose Copperfield Kitchens. Paul was always available during the construction of our new hand-built units and dresser and was always happy to answer questions and provide advice on final finish. He accompanied us to the Granite worktop supplier and again worked with them to ensure a perfect fit and finish. Now that the kitchen has been installed it looks beautiful and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else looking for a bespoke kitchen.

I don't usually ever write reviews but what happened to us was so unjust I feel the need to voice it to avoid other members of the public making the mistake we did. Paul told us he was a professional carpenter and kitchen fitter. He told us he would personally make our kitchen as he has done all of his others. He sold himself as very professional and to be honest, if I didn't have a hawk eye for quality and I wasn't at home most of the time, I probably would have continued to believe this claim. My husband and I feel like total mugs now we realise we were being taken for a ride. The first surprise was when the actual carpenter turned up to deliver the units he had made, which Paul had bought from him. Paul just brushed this off as if the lie he had told meant nothing. The problems started when Paul fitted these beautiful units. The units themselves are lovely. The quality of the fitting however is appalling. The list of problems and poor quality work, that we have either had to rectify or put up with as it is not possible to rectify, is endless. We began to realise he is neither a cabinet maker nor a professional kitchen fitter. We wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, after several issues arising (which I wont even start on). However, the final straw was when he was placing wobbly shelves and botching a "blum soft close" mechanism, by removing half of the mechanism (presumably as the dimensions of the drawer were wrong) and carving grooves into the wood to try and make it work. We really began to feel anxious about the quality of his work, and that he really could not be relied on to be honest. When we raised issues he became defensive and used the excuse "I'm just not finished yet". This would have been OK, but when shelves are hung on the wall, they are finished. And he had actually told us the drawer was finished until it fell off the runners and my husband investigated the back to see half the mechanism missing. Lies and excuses. Paul himself was actually annoyed that we investigated the back of the drawer asking me "Why were you looking at the back of the drawer, I can't work like this". Why would you be annoyed unless you had something to hide? We asked him him to stop and have asked him to rectify the outstanding issues with the kitchen. He told us these would be on a "snagging list" at the end... presumably once he has all of the money. He has now stopped responding to our emails and we are left with half our money gone, and half a poorly fitted kitchen, which my husband has tried to rectify, and we now need to source an actual cabinet maker and carpenter to fit the rest. So upsetting. So disappointing. Attached is a photo of a bracket Paul broke and brought back ready to fit after he took it away to "repair". You would think for a £22000 kitchen, you might just make a new bracket? There is also a photograph of the diswasher fitting, I had asked for the bare wood to be painted to protect it from the dishwasher steam, but this was forgotten about, presumably to be added to the "snagging list". The groove at the back of the drawer, is to provide a catch for the blum soft close mechanism to fit into, as the actual catch, which should be fitted to the back of the drawer, seemed to be missing for some reason.

I was renovating an old cottage and needed a whole new kitchen. I knew exactly what I wanted from my previous house. I found Paul from Copperfield Kitchens from the internet, and as he was local ,had good reviews and seemed a pleasant chap, gave him the job. I explained what I wanted, and to the small details Paul listened , drew up the plans that we discussed and refined, and delivered me a stunning kitchen that to this day I love, and still has the wow factor. It was exactly what I wanted and built to a high standard and quality that will last for ever. I would therefore highly recommend Copperfield Kitchens and would use them every time for similar work should it ever arise in future.
