What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Households planning full kitchen remodels, new-build installations and long-term family homes feature prominently in feedback for this Reading company. A recurring theme is the depth of the design service: clients describe designers who listen closely, bring technical knowledge and solve awkward layouts, with named staff including Gina, Sam, Jansen and David Wilson singled out for guidance and precision.

Installation work is repeatedly described as skilful and efficient, with Matt and the fitting team praised, while Dan and Brendan are credited with keeping projects on track as project managers. Reviewers often note that the company coordinates the whole process, from stripping out existing units and structural or building control work through to plastering, flooring, electrics, appliance supply, painting and the final finishing touches.

Communication comes up frequently, with Elloise, Andy and Adam described as prompt, clear and responsive before, during and after the job. The quality of units and appliances is a regular point of praise, alongside the sense that budgets were respected and ideas were shaped with care. Several accounts mention returning years later for further help, and clients in the trade value the collaborative approach for their own customers. Kitchens with an in-frame look recur as a particular request that was met well.

I love working with Elements Kitchens and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to collaborate with. From the initial design stage through to installation and completion, they consistently deliver exceptional results. They always go the extra mile to help both my clients and me achieve the desired design, finish, and overall look, often bringing brilliant ideas and practical solutions along the way. The quality of their work, communication, and customer service is outstanding, and every project I have worked on with them has been a success. A fantastic team that never disappoints.

I had the pleasure of Jansen coming to design a rather awkward angular space for my kitchen. Walls weren't square and I didn't want them to be and Jansen TOTALLY got this. Most designers will try and square things up for ease but Jansen got that this could be made as a unique feature and worked with. And this is what he did, a stunning design that everyone who saw it loved. This guy is a particular talent and one that I will be re-visiting in the months and years to come for sure !!

Jansen our designer was very knowledgeable and patient with our many options and choices. We had an elements kitchen already and were modifying and adding to what we already had, quite a challenge but we are delighted with the results. The service we received from Andy Morgan was exceptional. His knowledge and expertise was invaluable when seeking advice and he sorted issues promptly.

We have been using Elements for our kitchens over the last 25 years and cannot fault them for both quality and design! Our most recent experience, and in particular with our designer Sam, has been superb. She knew exactly what we wanted within 10 minutes of our first interaction, and the design that followed did not disappoint. Their customer service has always been excellent, as have their kitchens. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new kitchen!

Sam has been absolutely fantastic. She has created a wonderful kitchen design for us; on budget and with incredible thought and precision. We know we are going to throughly enjoy our new kitchen space and any guests will be delighted. We will, without hesitation, recommend both Sam and Elements to all our friends and family should they consider a new kitchen.

I had an Elements kitchen installed 6 years ago and have been really pleased with it. I have recently contacted Elements again to assist in installing a new washing machine. I initially spoke with Elloise and she was great. She took the time to understand what i was looking for and was prompt with a quote and any queries I had. Andy managed the details of the installation and was really good at keeping me informed on when to expect the installation. The team who came to install the machine were extremely thorough and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Elements Kitchens.
