Independent Kitchen Design was set up by Roger Allen in 2007 to provide a design service to home owners within the London area. He is a kitchen designer with over 32 years designing kitchens. His aim is to:-
- Provide professional kitchen designs and plans to the home owner for a set fee without their obligation to buy anything
- Provide a highly personalised service so that the client gets what they want rather then what a salesman wants them to buy.
Since then Independent Kitchen Design has been used by architects, builders , developers as well as individual home owners all over the country. Some of the reasons given for the success of the service seem to be :-
- People have been unimpressed by the service currently being offered by kitchen suppliers which seems to be sales based rather then design based
- Companies will not give out detailed plans unless they receive a deposit and therefore clients are restricted to seeing the design in the showroom whilst being constantly pressured to buy.
- There are many very good on line kitchen suppliers that do not provide a design service.
- There are many builders that are more then capable of installing a kitchen that are not skilled at designing a kitchen
- People want to be in a strong negotiating position when purchasing a kitchen so being able to get many quotations from the same plan is very helpful
Cost: £250 – Kitchen Design inc Site Visit, Plan, Elevations, Perspectives & Unit List (within M25)
