Testimonials - Wow and Wow again

Diane and her team recently completed a project replacing our first Diane Berry kitchen fitted in 2004
We were impressed then by the team led by Diane. We needed to eat in our small kitchen; DBK were the only company to solve the dilemma designing a table that swivelled on two wheels. Superb! The kitchen stood the test of time.
now 2024 and about to retire, thinking about future years we decided to replace DBK V1 kitchen adding a small extension. Keen to avoid issues our own parents faced but unsure where to begin we set off to see Diane once again.
We could not have imagined then what a journey would follow!
What evolved, without the need for an expensive extension, has been truly life changing.
Our lounge has been transformed into a stunning Rempp kitchen with a wall removed to create a beautiful new dining and social space. With a background in food this needed to be a practical, working kitchen and indeed it is! Every cupboard and shelf discussed to ensure everything had its place. Experienced fitter Barry did a superb job with his eye for detail and precision.
… but Diane didn’t stop at the kitchen!
Her clever design converted the integrated garage into an inviting, warm boot room leading to a new utility area; both fitted out with DBK V1 kitchen. Everything that could be re-used was; the table made shelving, the dishwasher carcass a cupboard, the sink was refitted. What couldn’t be re-used was sold or donated to charity. Exactly how good design and build should be with minimal waste.
Two weeks after work began we headed off to Australia to visit family. Never once did we worry about what was happening – we knew we were in safe hands with builder Krys and installations manager Martin in charge. We returned home to a temporary kitchen with a mobile induction hob in our newly completed utility area. We had another three months of work to completion. Everyone involved showed consideration, courtesy and most of all kindness.
Nothing was too much trouble.
It was a huge undertaking but with Diane’s constantly evolving ideas and Krys and Martin‘s ‘can do’ attitude we sailed through. The process was exciting and most of all enjoyable!
Diane held our hands throughout, pushing us out of our comfort zone; a constant calming, encouraging presence. Always at the end of the phone to answer questions and when we were ‘decisioned out’ Diane took over knowing exactly what was needed.
Diane is a talented designer who instinctively knows what will and will not work. We used companies and contractors that she had previously worked with to ensure progress was as seamless as it could be.
Our home is transformed and all we hear from guests is wow and wow again!
Just brilliant!
We cannot thank everyone at Diane Berry Kitchens enough and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
