Designer Kitchen Direct - Sheffield

The service we received from DKD was exceptional. Mary designed our kitchen-diner knock through and she was so patient when we tried various different designs. That said her experience showed as we reverted back to one of her originals. As the work started Lauren took over and I can honestly say I have never met someone who works harder to please. Nothing is too much trouble and she provided the best customer service I have ever had.

Mount Renovations completed the building works and the guys on site were tidy, respectful and frankly fun to have around. Even though the build was completed a couple of month ago they recently returned to sort a couple of snags. Sarah in the office runs a tight ship (I’ve seen the electronic planner) and there was always someone on site working on the renovation.

Now the kitchen itself is perfect and nothing was too much trouble for the kitchen fitter Julian. The units are high quality and there is nothing I would change in terms of design/ layout, we just need to add all the finishing touches. We now spend so much time in our beautiful kitchen and I’ve even got the kids baking and washing up. A win all round.

Finally, the entire work wasn’t without a few complications, but they were minor and addressed immediately. The sign of a good quality company and I am so pleased we went with DKD (trust me we did our research of the alternatives). Thanks so much to everyone involved.

DKD designed and fitted our kitchen in late august / september. Apologies for the late review.

From start to finish the experience of having a new kitchen designed, delivered and fitted by DKD was pleasurable, straight forward and seemless. Their collaboration with the builders mount renovation meant that there was no delays in the process from designing, building and finally fitting the kitchen. Leah who started the process of designing the kitchen with us rather than for us was very kind, funny and highly skilled at her job. No decisions were ever a problem and she clearly worked through all the process decisions at a steady pace for us. She liased with Paul and Sarah to pass on all the details of our kitchen. Paul and his highly professional team made the building process a breeze as we didnt have to chase anyone to turn up. They organised that all for us. Their work was outstanding and they were polite, on time, sociable and fun to work with.

Scott and Luke fitted the kitchen, and they continued on the professional process and clearly asked for our decisions when required during the fitting. Pat on the backs to you both for the hard work you did for us. Also cheeky chaps aswell.

The builders liased with their recommended decorator Richard who then painted the walls. Nothing too much trouble for him and fitted us in at very short notice. Its a shame he's too busy to do other decorating.

Lauren project managed the whole kitchen project and did an amazing job.
Thanks for the flowers.

Fully fitted the kitchen looks amazing and even better than the cad renders that Leah sent to us after the initial design.

We still have to pinch ourselves every morning as the kitchen now is beyond our original expection and it has transformed the house. Jokingly we feel grown up to have a kitchen like this now from an original kitchen that was large but non functional as a kitchen / dinning area.

We would recommend DKD 100% to anyone who needs a new kitchen and requires your expertise and professional staff. The same goes for the builders mount renovation, the fitters and Richard the decorator.

Great team work. Thanks to all

Martin, Denise and Ellie

Ps the kittens love finding new hiding spaces in the cupboards now. Lol

Cannot recommend DKD highly enough!

Exceptional service and support from start to finish (and beyond)!!

Highly professional team ensuring premium quality throughout the process (from Simon on initial design, Jamie on fitting, and Nic and Lauren on planning, communication, support and excelling in customer service)!!

Quality, design and layout exceptional - (We didn’t purchase our appliances from DKD but they’ve taken every step possible to help resolve issues directly with the manufacturer to ensure the result of a 100% perfect kitchen)!

A fantastic family run business – We wouldn’t have received the same level of quality or customer service from the large chains!!

Excellent service, excellent staff and AMAZING kitchen! My husband and I are so chuffed with our new kitchen/diner. We had 2 walls knocked through, a new wall and door built and a new kitchen installed. We could not be happier with the whole process from start to finish. Everyone at DKD are professional, helpful and genuinely seemed to care about giving us the best results. The builders, plumbers, electricians, kitchen fitters, surveyors and everyone involved were absolutely brilliant and went the extra mile for us. I have never known anything like it! It all seemed to happen so fast too, which was great.
Thank you so much to DKD, I would highly recommend using them and an extra thanks to Mary and Steve for overseeing it all. THANK YOU!

Dear DKD,

Thank you for all your hard work and efforts to create our beautiful kitchen.

Leah, your ability to turn a long wish list into a stunning design that works is absolutely astounding. Thank you for the beautiful design and attention to detail whilst adjusting the plans to achieve perfection.

Lauren and Mary, thank you for making sure that we got our kitchen delivered and finalised as promised, and all the snagging lists have been ticked off now.

Also, a big thank you to Julian. He is a skilled craftsman who is an absolute gem. He listened and payed attention all the way through and went an extra mile to put the kitchen together just the way we wanted it to be.

We would definitely recommend you to anyone who’d like to redesign and upgrade their kitchen to make it a beautiful and social place 🥳

We are very pleased with DKD from start to finish.

We started looking for kitchen designer and fitter to renovate our kitchen in March 2023. We looked through the options from some chain brands several times but there was something that cannot convince us moving forward. Then in April we tried to see what DKD could help with. Mary was very helpful and patient. After understanding what we were looking for, actual measurements, and several adjustments, she showed the design and illustration which was what we wanted. She also gave some very useful suggestions on choosing kitchen items, i.e. L-shape corner cabinets, which functioned well and matched the look. The quote included the kitchen and fitting but also the breakdown quote of the building work required, which was very clear and helpful (some other brands didn’t give the quote on building works unless order placed).

We placed the order and the entire work started in late June 2023 and last for two weeks. First week was the building work and kitchen fitting was in the following week. Throughout the work, DKD had a team (a project manager and building work manager) to communicate with me, discussing ideas and answering my questions. Julian the fitter was very amazing , experienced and helpful. We can see he worked to a high standard that he was pride of. He was also very patient, and willing to explain and answer questions. We knew kitchen renovation could be stressful but we did not feel anything like that. All work was going on smoothly.

It’s late October now and after several months using the kitchen, we are very happy about our choice with DKD, the quality of the material, the building work, the fitting and the final look, we are satisfied.

Highly recommended DKD!

We are so pleased with our new kitchen from DKD. It absolutely meets and exceeds our expectations. DKD have produced a beautiful kitchen-living-dining space for us. Not only is it stunningly beautiful it is functionally so well designed, that after six months' living in it, we can't think of anything we'd change.

We have to say that going into a significant building project is not for the faint-hearted, but DKD's professional and supportive approach throughout the design, building, and after-sales processes made the experience as painless it could possibly have been.

We came to DKD with some rough ideas of what we wanted, and an optimistic budget! DKD took plenty of time to listen to us, and showed us the possibilities available. This really helped us make the best use of our space - with several schemes going through the CAD process to help us get a feel of what the finished design would look like (so accurate that we sometimes still feel like we're living in one of Yappi's CAD drawings!).

Having DKD's team carry out both the building work and kitchen installation worked very well for us. It was so much easier to have a single source than having to project-manage and co-ordinate a bunch of separate contractors. It meant that they all worked together, so that nothing was overlooked, and we're sure it helped keep the timescales down, too.

It would be impossible in a project of this size, for every aspect to go completely smoothly and according to plan, but whenever necessary, DKD rose to the mark and delivered with a smile. Their commitment to getting everything perfect has been exemplary.

Special thanks to Julia (we love the design), Steve (yes, he really will deliver at the price he quotes), Craig (an absolute Yorkshire diamond), Nic (OCD kitchen fitter extraordinaire)and Kevin(just lovely),Kimberly and Lauren (so patient and good humoured),and finally, Kelly and her team at Artisan Stone (breathtaking precision). We would have no hesitation in recommending DKD for your kitchen makeover. If you're wavering, go for it - you're in safe hands!

Mary designed us a fabulous kitchen that functions well, we’ve always had compliments on it and 4 years later the daily enjoyment and appreciation of our kitchen still stands! We’ve since had fitted wardrobes from them and recommended DKD to family who’ve been equally delighted. Mary has a pretty unique ability to understand exactly your tastes and style and she comes up with practical and innovative solutions on the spot that you’d not ever think of. We were fussy customers who changed our minds a lot during the design process and they’d never let us feel bad about it. Nothing we asked was too much hassle. Their builders and kitchen fitters were no trouble either. I couldn’t fault the service we received from DKD and would heartily recommend them if you want great quality at a competitive price.
