“Great Bathroom result! Knocked two small bathrooms into one large family bathroom and it made a huge difference to the house. Chris and his team worked professionally and quickly and the end result is a lovely space to be in - looks like a boutique hotel! Great customer service, nothing is too much bother for him, and he is fastidiously tidy - no mess at any stage of the job. I can't recommend him enough.”

“My parents recommended John Franklin Kitchens to me, having used them to create a beautiful bespoke kitchen in their new house. I was unsure how they would respond to our fairly meagre budget, and our desire to reuse our existing carcasses, but I needn't have worried. Sue at John Franklin Kitchens was absolutely fantastic. She was happy to reuse wherever possible, and respected our budget, directing us towards the doors and finishes that we could afford. She came up with some great design suggestions and really creative solutions, such as splitting a cupboard door so that it could open beneath my ceiling airer. The fitter was excellent - a really nice guy who was very considerate and easy to have in the house. I have no hesitation in recommending John Franklin Kitchens and giving them a 5 star rating.”

“Julian is a dedicated and sincere craftsman of wood and, dare I say it, a perfectionist too. I came to know Julian and his family when my wife and I moved to Somerset in 2006 and wanted to restore and develop the interior of our part of a traditional Somerset double-gabled house dating from 1802. Julian revealed to us beams of ancient elm that had been buried under plaster by subsequent unappreciative generations and then created anew items made from fallen elm to echo the traditional wood used in this area. Items include, for our bathroom, an eliptical elm surface on which a sink sits, for my study a curved desk of elm (which is a joy to sit at). Also for my study, floor to ceiling shelves, with small LED lights that emerge from the wood as if modern candles. He created a special in-built lectern to display some artworks in book-form with two pages to view. Downstairs he created our kitchen, matching stone surfaces to specially chosen wood and restoring an enormous welsh dresser, making drawers accessible with modern movement while retaining the age old beauty of the original piece. At our office in Hampton Court, in homage to the famous Japanese American wood craftsman, George Nakashima 1905-1990, he created our boardroom table. This was from a fallen elm opened longitudinally, revealing the imperfections of time, and allowing the natural curve of the outer shape of the original tree to be part of the work, running a millimeter layer of maple down the middle of the table. Here he also created unique desks of oak and elm to echo, in a totally modern way via the choice of wood, our building which dates from the early 17th century. Here he also constructed for our bespoke needs two long rows of lectern style shelves needed for our contract folders - functional and yet in keeping with our building. His works never lose sight of functionality but are works of art in themselves to be appreciated. We know at our office from the reaction of our many customers who visit us from all over the world how people react to Julian's work and it is always with awe and interest. The works we have done with Julian started in 2006 and have continued to the present.”

“Having spent a long time looking in various showrooms most particularly for Kitchens and Bathrooms and finding little to inspire us as soon as we walked into 4Homes showroom we knew instantly that these were the people for us. The designers were extremely perceptive about our requirements and understanding with regards to budget. After several house visits and discussions we eventually employed them for a complete refurbishment of our new home. We could not praise them more highly. The work was delivered on time to the agreed costs and the house looks wonderful. Everyone who came to work at our house was polite friendly and respectful. They continue to help us and we consider them as friends.”

“I would definitely recommend Intoto to a friend. Very helpful and informative from beginning to end. So happy with our kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble.”

“Just want to say that Kitchen Craft were fantastic when my Mother’s shower screen ‘exploded’. They came out within a couple of days and put a new one in. Charming staff very helpful and kind and MANY, MANY THANKS TO JOHN FOR ORGANISING IT. Would heartily recommend them.”

“I designed a small kitchen island to fit a cooker into and to provide shelving, and Ray made it for me, exactly as I specified. The joinery is spot on and the under- appliance drawer runs smoothly and evenly. It arrived primed and ready to paint, with a lovely chunky oak top. Ray delivered it to the cottage himself, and the job was on time and very reasonably priced. We were very pleased with his work and have recommended him several times since.”
