We recently had our kitchen renovated by Britannia Kitchens and are absolutely delighted with the result. Our north facing kitchen has been transformed into a lovely bright space.
Barnaby and the team were brilliant during the design stage, offering great advice and really helping bring our vision together. The installation was seamless — everything ran on time, the team were punctual, efficient, and the quality of work is excellent with real attention to detail.
What really stood out was the genuinely personal and thoughtful service throughout. The team regularly checked in, carried out quality checks, and went the extra mile to make the process as smooth as possible — even taking care to consider our indoor cats and leaving thoughtful touches along the way.
A big thank you to Barnaby, Kat, Mike, Eva and the team for such a positive experience — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Britannia Kitchens.

The time had finally arrived that we were in need of a new kitchen. A place to cook and a place to socialise. But whom to trust? To feel and know that you are in safe hands right from the start? Look no further than Britannia Design. Barnaby and the fabulous team around him were exactly whom we hoped for and were looking for as we embarked upon our new kitchen journey.
Barnaby was our first contact with Britannia Design. He makes you feel you are a valued client right from the first meeting; professional, friendly, interested in you and definitely interested in your thoughts and ideas. He spends time and as much time as is needed, listening and gently guiding you to the final design that you are truly happy with. Once decided to go ahead, Kat takes over the steering wheel. Warm and friendly, she arranges the schedule and efficiently manages the whole project until completion. Including patiently and seamlessly reorganising when the world conspires against her. It’s back on track in the blink of an eye. Paul our fitter worked methodically and diligently to make what looked fabulous on paper, even more fabulous in real life. Courteous at all times; whether answering our questions during the installation to treating our home with respect. Last but not least, Mike also a fitter with the Britannia team laid our floor to perfection. Together they created our ‘dream’ kitchen. It is exactly what we hoped for and we couldn’t be more delighted!
Between them, Britannia Design delivered a high quality product in Masterclass Kitchens. They work as a team, each consummate in the part they play which makes what can be a stressful experience, frankly nothing of the sort.
Thank you Barnaby, Kat, Paul and Mike. You were definitely safe hands and great people to work with. In conclusion we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Britannia Design for your new kitchen.

I chose Britannia Design as I was impressed with their exemplary customer service from the start. This continued throughout the project. The whole team were amazing. Barnaby listening to my vision and designing my kitchen to meet my needs. Kat was an amazing project manager, making sure that the project run seamlessly. She was very prompt and efficient getting back to my. Paul is an amazing craftsman and the kitchen looks absoltely stunning. Andy did a great job on the electrics,installing lighting in the pantry and display unit. A true personal service was provided and the price was very reasonable providing a high end kitchen for the same as provided by kitchen manufacturers in the same area.

Having our extension done meant that we would have an angled wall. We knew that we did not want a standard island. We came across Britannia Design and meet Barnaby to talk through our design. Visiting the showroom, we were able to see the different styles of kitchen. Barnaby was great in listening and designing the kitchen with us and helped in choosing the work top and colour of our kitchen doors. We were able to get the angled island along with arches at the front of our island to give it character, the lighting helps set the tone. Barnaby was able to help us out with our seating and shelving. He put us in touch with a company called Craftwood. Kat, Paul and Mike were fab at giving us the timeline, Paul was amazing in building the kitchen, specially making the adjustments needed to fit the cabinets in. Mark was able to build the arches for the island and Kat ensured everything ran smoothly with site visits and updates. They are a great team to work with and would work with them again.

We’re delighted with our Britannia Design kitchen. The design process was excellent. Britannia took plenty of time to understand our requirements and talk us through various options. We never felt pressured to upgrade or opt for expensive extras. Instead, the pros and cons of each choice were discussed openly, which guided our decisions.
The final design struck a great balance between our wishes and our budget. Overall, it was a genuinely positive experience.
The installation went smoothly as well. We needed to coordinate fitting the kitchen with our builders, and Britannia managed this seamlessly. As the kitchen came together, any small issues were sorted promptly, which we really appreciated. While building an extension and new kitchen is never entirely stress-free, Britannia made the process much more manageable.
What truly made the difference at every stage was the team, who were a pleasure to deal with throughout.

We recently had our kitchen designed and installed, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first consultation through to the final installation, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
The design process was thoughtful and collaborative. They really listened to our needs, lifestyle, and ideas, then translated them into a design that was both beautiful and highly functional. Their attention to detail and creative suggestions made a huge difference — they thought of things we would never have considered ourselves.
The installation was just as impressive. The fit and finish are outstanding, and everything was completed to a very high standard. The fitter was punctual, respectful of our home, and clearly took pride in their workmanship. Communication throughout the project was clear and consistent, so we always knew what to expect.
Our new kitchen has completely transformed our home. It’s not only stunning to look at but also a joy to cook and spend time in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality kitchen design and installation service.

Outstanding Design, Impeccable Workmanship, and a Truly Collaborative Experience
We recently had our new kitchen and dining area designed and installed by Britannia Design, and the entire experience has been exceptional from start to finish.
From the outset, Barnaby led a wonderfully collaborative design process — he listened carefully to our ideas, understood how we wanted to use the space, and brought it all together with creativity and precision. His attention to detail and ability to translate our vision into a cohesive, stylish design made the whole process exciting and enjoyable.
Kat ensured everything ran smoothly from design through to installation, keeping us well-informed and the project perfectly on track.
When it came to fitting, Mike and Paul delivered craftsmanship of the highest quality. Their workmanship, care, and professionalism were evident in every element of the installation. The finish is flawless, and the end result feels both beautifully made and built to last.
The new kitchen and dining area have completely transformed our home — it’s not only stunning to look at but perfectly suited to our everyday life.
We couldn’t recommend Britannia Design more highly. The combination of Barnaby’s thoughtful design, Kat’s seamless coordination, and Mike and Paul’s skilled fitting has delivered a space we absolutely love.

Absolutely thrilled with everything ,from walking into the showroom for the first time through to the completed kitchen. Barnaby came to our house to see our kitchen for himself and gave us some really creative ideas. Once we agreed a start date Kat oversaw the project from beginning to end. Our fitter was Micheal, absolute perfectionist and a lovely guy. The quality of units, appliances and worktops are of superb quality. Another thing that really impressed us was everyone turned up when they said they would (something quite rare these days). All in all we’re over the moon with the transformation of our kitchen . Can’t recommend them highly enough.

I would not hesitate to recommend Britannia Design. We had a brilliant experience with our new kitchen. The whole team work together seamlessly. Barnaby's design was great, suggesting things we hadn't thought of and he was absolutely right in all cases. We were able to relax knowing that Kat stayed on top of the organisation, and importantly the communications. Last but not least Paul and Mike were able to make the design a reality. Thank you all.

I have just had my kitchen installed by Brittania Design. I am more than delighted with my new kitchen. From my initial meeting with Barnaby I knew that I wanted Brittania. Barnaby was as much invested in my kitchen as I was, he helped me to envisage things that I had never thought of . His attention to detail, the layout and how the kitchen would flow was outstanding. I never thought that I would want a small island , but Barnaby showed me how it would work within the kitchen and now it is one of the things I most love.
The process is seamless, Kat is a fantastic project manager , very calm and organised and very approachable. Paul who installed the kitchen again was very professional and approachable.
Brittania are a very polished team , you are not just another customer, they are as much invested in your project as you are and your final outcome is reflected by this.
I have no hesitation in recommending Barnaby and his team .

My wife and I had a truly excellent experience with Britannia Design.
Barnaby is very experienced, incredibly knowledgeable and he patiently helped us develop the design for our new kitchen to become exactly what we wanted- and with a remarkable eye for detail.
Thanks to Kat (and their lovely fitter-Mike) the installation was equally great.

What an amazing kitchen transformation, we can’t thank Britannia Design enough! From the moment we met Barnaby and he showed us his design, we knew we had found the kitchen company for us. Barnaby’s passion and attention to detail were second to none and continued throughout the build. Mike & Paul were a pleasure to have in our house during the installation, they were perfectionists and with their 1st class craftsmanship and the quality of the cabinets they have created our dream high end kitchen and we could not be happier. The build ran to schedule thanks to Kat and her project managing, nothing was ever too much for her to organise or arrange. We would highly recommend Britannia Design.

Britannia review
We are so happy with our new kitchen and family area designed and installed by Britannia Kitchens. We shopped around a little before going to Britannia, and in comparison Britannia were streets ahead. Barnaby the manager was amazing, he gave us plenty of time to explore all options, even if some were quite ridiculous! His attention to detail had just the right balance. There was never a feeling of ‘not yet another design’. He was very hands on throughout. Kat managed the install and was very organised, helpful and lovely to deal with.
Then we had their two multi skilled installers, Mike and Paul, who did a great job in bringing the designs to life. Obviously with a large project like this there will be snags, or small issues, but these were all dealt with the highest of professionalism and customer care.
We wouldn’t have the slightest hesitance in thoroughly recommending Britannia for your new kitchen, and would be surprised if you could get a better design and service.

When Barnaby visited and started talking about the various design options we knew that Britannia Design was the company for us. Having visited the showroom while we were out shopping we were really impressed with the quality of the kitchens and options available. We didn’t know what we wanted to do with the layout but Barnaby was so helpful and planned out a kitchen we would never have thought of. Once we’d decided it was just a matter of waiting for the guys to come in and fit the kitchen. The work took a couple of weeks or so and they always made sure they left it clean each day. We couldn’t be more pleased with the kitchen, it’s really great and we can’t praise Barnaby and the team enough.
