Excellent company to deal with - fitters, salespeople and the MD. The 2nd time we have used Arlington and its safe to say that one day there will be a 3rd too. High end products and high end staff and designs. Dealing with Arlington was never a problem even when things did not go to plan (other contractors). Always proactive. I would say it is vital that you let this company give you a quotation if you are looking for a top quality kitchen, it is likely that they won't be the cheapest but they will definitely compete with anyone on quality and service Thanks very much and a Special mention to Natalie, Adrian and Colin for their hard work. We are so very happy with our new kitchen - keep on doing what you do
Terrific kitchen company to deal with. Excellent before and after sales service. Top quality products would highly recommend. Many thanks to Colin and his team .
After an appalling service from another kitchen design/ supply company, Natalie Plaxton went above and beyond to help us get our new kitchen sorted. Thank you Natalie, so grateful
If I could give this company a zero star review I would! Please DO NOT buy a kitchen from this company unless you want to wait over one year for your kitchen to be finished whilst experiencing these problems: - Unsatisfactory quality and missing parts - Damaged parts (holes in cupboards that shouldn’t be there). - Kitchen not fitted correctly - worktops different heights in various parts of the kitchen - Panels not the correct length - Cupboards that do not open and needed to be fixed - Sloppy workarounds i.e., putting a cheap piece of MDF to higher the kitchen - Sink not sealed for several weeks so wood kitchen units getting wet - Fitter working to different plans than what I had been given and making decisions around fitting the kitchen which were not to the drawings or specification - Nobody keeping us informed of what was going on / no clear project plan/timescales - Having to listen to the builder they introduced us to arguing constantly with Arlington’s kitchen fitter - Not taken the issues seriously/nobody been able to make any decisions other than Colin the MD who was often not available - Services not performed within a reasonable timescale. I paid for the kitchen in April 2023 and it was finally finished in June 2024!
The Arlington team are just amazing! Everyone, from designer to fitter, is excellent & a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. In fact, they couldn’t do enough! My kitchen designer, Natalie, made regular visits throughout the building prep. The fact that she also made a “kitchen visit” six months after completion, speaks volumes! I’ve had a few kitchens fitted over the years but none of them gave “after care” ! Having your kitchen (the heart of your home) ripped out & refitted, is pretty stressful. However, these amazing people made that transition as easy & relaxed as possible. For that, I am eternally grateful! To anyone needing a new kitchen, I highly recommend Arlington Kitchens. They go that extra mile!! Many, many thanks to The A Team!
I usually dont do reviews but i need to write this, We have purchased our kitchen from Arlington, fantastic quality kitchen, best customer service, professional fitter, hassle free, very friendly staff, highly recommend them.
I don’t often write reviews but I was compelled to do one for Barry, Natalie, Kris and all the team at Arlington Design. Setting off on building our forever home, we wanted to create our perfect kitchen. We went to several companies and were so impressed with the show room at Arlington Design. There are so many decisions to make about every conceivable detail of their kitchens. Despite the enormous range, their methods allow you to clearly navigate the process without getting overwhelmed. We were hugely impressed by their Beeck range of German Kitchens. The attention to detail in the product is exceptional from the build up, the quality of the components, the finish and customisation. Natalie the designer is incredibly talented. When Natalie sat down and showed us her designs on the big screen we were blown away. She thinks about every conceivable detail of your kitchen ensuring they are practical and have an unbelievable wow factor. She really listened to our brief and she got it from day one. She then proceeded to guide us through the process for many months all the way through to completion, always cheerful, polite, professional and very personable. We were made to feel like one of the family and genuinely nothing was too much trouble. Barry was exceptional from the outset and his advice and direction allowed us to bring our dream kitchen on price and on time. He stayed in touch all the way through at all hours of day and night. Kris and his team would stop at nothing to make the kitchen perfect, nothing was rushed and they comprehensively snagged the kitchen themselves. They take absolute pride in their work, and do not cut corners. This was a major project, I think one of the largest they have ever done and they absolutely smashed it! Thank you so much to you all! In short, if you are looking to create your dream kitchen, I could not recommend the team at Arlington Design enough. They have Honesty, Integrity, Passion Flare, Professionalism, Customer Service and Value for Money in abundance. Just Exceptional.
