Kitchen renovation tips in Manchester

“We approached Kitchen Design Centre Manchester in May 2025 for ideas to renew our kitchen. They had been recommended by a friend who vouched for the efficiency of the installation and qualify of the product. We met with Paul Harrington and arranged for him to come and view the kitchen and measure up. Paul went to a great deal of effort to understand our needs and preferences and budget. He came up with a design incorporating our wish to have a peninsula feature. He helped us chose the units, appliances, worktops and flooring. The experience was very personal and Paul was very pleasant to deal with. The kitchen was fitted in July 2025. We had gone for a full refit, including taking the plaster off the walls and ceilings. The refit was handled throughout by one of KDC's fitting teams led by Billy. Pretty much everything went to plan - inevitably there were a few glitches and items not arriving and more mess than we anticipated but it was a big job and we are very pleased with the outcome. Billy helped us retain items for a temporary kitchen in another room and helped us dispose of the old working appliances, which we had not expected. The flooring job was very efficiently handled. We are very pleased with our new kitchen. The Neff appliances are fantastic, linked to our phone and can be activated remotely. The units are top quality. 4 months in there have been no teething problems and it seems surprisingly easy to keep clean. You will not get the cheapest kitchen from KDC but you will get a personal service and a top quality kitchen. We would definiteky”

“Just had my kitchen done and couldn’t be happier with the result. There was clear communication throughout the job. I only had to phone the owner / ask the fitter if I had a query about ongoing work and it was sorted. Being a full, back to brick renovation, we encountered some problems we hadn’t foreseen with the joists and wiring. All this was clearly explained to us and everything has been re-done to a very high standard. The kitchen was finished yesterday and left in pristine condition.”

“I had a new Schuller Kitchen fitted in March 2021. I was quite particular with my specifications as I wanted to keep my existing granite worktops but replace all the units. The quality of the kitchen is first rate as was the expertise of the fitters. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Schuller Cheadle to anyone. Dr J”

“Completely fantastic and utterly brilliant job for us today. Thanks Paul - you were calm, skilful and solved our problems. Would definitely recommend you to anyone.”

“Excellent company from design to finish. Very pleased with our kitchen.”

“Simon Fink Kitchens looked after us from start to finish, making the process super smooth. We are absolutely delighted with our beautiful new kitchen.”

“Excellent pre planning and intermediate reviews, so that we got the kitchen that we wanted within the remit of our existing kitchen design. Couple of hiccups with the ordering of one of the cupboards/lighting transformer which meant a delay in the final completion. However we could use the kitchen before that was finished. We have a beautiful kitchen that fits our needs, thanks to Alistair, Josh and Olivia. Great communication and updates. We had an additional team to do the preliminary and post installation work. Adam and Bart led that part of the project. The team led by Kris for installation are very efficient and good at what they do. Initially, I put some before photos in, have removed them now as it detracts from the brilliant new kitchen! Some of the photos were taken prior to decorating. If you want a bespoke kitchen with incredibly sturdy cabinets, visit Kutchenhaus Altrincham!”

“We had our bedroom carpet fitted last week and we couldn't be happier with it. The service from walking through their door to them walking out of our door was amazing. The fitters were fast and professional and even tidied up the off cuts and bagged them up. The quality and price of the carpet is great. And the after care service is lovely, ensuring we were happy with everything. I was recommended them by a friend and will definitely recommend them to friends and family.”

“Gorgeous shop and lovely lady too x”

The appearances of their favourite characters add excitement and joy, making every visit truly special. The glittering area is beautifully designed and creates a fun, sparkling atmosphere that children absolutely love. It’s an excellent venue for memorable celebrations and high-quality kids’ entertainment.”

“Thank you for your excellent service you rendered, the couch is so lovely. In addition, I really appreciate your patience. Lost my brother and delayed on some responses. Thank you so much.”

“They did an excellent job and I would 100% ask them to do more in fact i am going to ask them for more and I higly recommend them for their great service”

“We have just bought some kitchen doors and worktops, it was great to mix and match the colours of the doors and worktops, it made it so much easier to choose them, and also at a great price, and thanks to Johnny he couldn't do enough to help us sort it all out, would definitely buy from there again”

“This place is extremely helpfull. Reasonable prices and a knowledgable owner.”

“If you can't find it here it's probably not made. Great knowledgeable staff with a great vibe as they are so damn funny. Heck of a lot crammed into a small space so be prepared to search for stuff. I forget it's there sometimes and go to the big chains but these local people will have the same type of stuff but likely better quality and cheaper.”

“I recently chose Cheshire Tile and Bathroom Studio for the design and supply of my en suite & family bathroom. Lindsay was amazing at every step of the way. She understood exactly what I wanted during the consultation and design phase and gave me lots of options to choose from. She is clearly very knowledgable and experienced, which made the whole process stress free. She was also able to advise on a fantastic fitter. The showroom is beautifully presented with lots of inspirational displays, along with a wide range of product to choose from, catering to lots of budgets. I would highly recommend both Cheshire Tile and Bathroom Studio and Lindsay!”

“Always excellent service. Happy and polite staff at the trade counter, always willing to help. Never had a bad experience in all the years I've been in there. Highly recommended for quality of product and tiles. SM TILING.”

“Great depot, service I get from Charlotte is always fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and stock is always there when I need it. Kitchens are always complete and to a great standard, have been a Howdens customer for many years and now wouldn’t go to any other depot”

“We worked with James to design a utility room solution for our new basement conversion in Stockport and he created something so perfect and so cavernous in such a small space. Will be back when we’ve recovered from this job for a kitchen revamp!”

“Always great to see John the manager! Fun and personable, don’t know how it would run without him. What a legend”
