Reviews of Blackstone Kitchens
H. M.
We are so pleased with our kitchen and couldn’t recommend Blackstone’s enough for a truly outstanding service and luxury finish!
The whole experience from the design process to installation was professional and fun!
James, Megan and the team made us feel at ease knowing they had every detail covered, making sure we were getting exactly what we wanted & more!
We are already looking into having more work done with them and we can’t wait to get started.
E. F.
Absolutely love our kitchen and can't thank Blackstone enough for their amazing service.
Everyone at Blackstones were professional and nothing was too much trouble.
Megan listened to our requirements and got our design spot on
The fitters Ben Luke and Nelson are amazing craftsmen and the finish on the cabinety is outstanding.
James visited our project a few times to oversee and tweaked a few cabinetry details to make our kitchen even more special.
We highly recommend this company and give it a 5 out of 5 star rating.

We absolutely love our kitchen as does all our visitors, we appreciated Lauren listening to our requests for maximum storage whilst ensuring the kitchen remained aesthetically pleasing. Despite a few challenges during the build, the kitchen fitters, Nelson, Dan and Terry were amazing. Even our builder commented on the fantastic job they did, they are quality kitchen fitters, were professional and extremely helpful. Also thanks to the painters Craig and co, they did such a great job and took great care in their work.
We are really happy with the quality of our new kitchen, it has transformed our living space and with a new baby, this was integral to our brief. Also thanks to Emily and Joe for ensuring we met our deadline.

We love our beautiful Blackstone kitchen and the whole process was well managed and planned. The after care was been excellent too, they have just returned for a repaint 2 years later and it looks brand new again!
R. S.
We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen from Blackstones.
Although our kitchen is relatively small we felt that we were given exactly the same level of care and attention as customers paying much more. As with all things the devil is in the detail and we would like to thank Terry, Andy and Nelson for the final finish. We still look lovingly at some of the detailed work on the corners of the plinth.
The process goes through several design meetings plus visits to site to ensure the build will go to plan.
We were lucky enough to visit the factory during the lockdown as the showrooms were shut and were impressed by the number of apprentices they are training.
Can not recommend them highly enough.
P. B.
Excellent kitchen from Blackstone. Quality and workmanship are first rate. The whole team have been a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend.

We've had our Blackstone Kitchen now for a little under 3 years and we still love it. Build quality is excellent and we've had only a couple of minor problems which Blackstone have taken care of. We went for Basalt Blue, being dark it does show dust and needs frequent cleaning and we're happy with that. Paint work also requires maintenance and we've just had a complete paint refresh resulting in the kitchen looking brand new. Blackstone are easy to deal with, they have their own in-house teams and don't appear to sub-contract out work (we had a very bad install experience in our last house with Wren who did sub-contract). Highly recommend.

I would not normally take the time to post a review, but the Blackstone experience has been so positive that it made me feel it was necessary. My wife and I spent a lot of time visiting all the local Kitchen companies and we were beginning to feel that it was going to be impossible to find a quality of a hand made, hand painted bespoke kitchen that we wanted without having to pay an extortionate amount for it. Thankfully we were fortunate enough to find Blackstone and we very quickly realised that they were way ahead of what the competition had to offer. The whole process was professional and hassle free. From Lauren's excellent designs and amazing renders to Kevin's superb installation management and not forgetting Andy, Ryan's and Craig's meticulous installation and finishing. Blackstone are a first class team that will go the extra mile to ensure you are completely happy with your kitchen. This is a family run business with people who care about getting it right. We simply can not recommend them enough, Thank you Blackstone.

I recently had a Blackstone kitchen fitted. James and Patrick were great, absolutely delighted and couldn’t be happier with everything they recommended . The fitters Graham and Andy were just as good, finished the kitchen on schedule and went above and beyond with the finer details. I would 100% recommend this company, excellent service from start to finish.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the Blackstone staff. I had my kitchen fitted nearly 4 years ago and with 3 children, it was looking a bit tired. I contacted James and within days Joey from the office contacted me and promptly sent a decorating team to my home. Obviously at cost my kitchen now looks like the day it was finished and I am absolutely delighted. Again, a bit thank you to James, Joey and the Blackstones team.

WOW. Kitchen and Customer Service second to none.
Blackstone's designed and fitted our kitchen over the course of a couple of months at the tail end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 (Apologies for the late review, technical issues then my bad memory!).
We visited many companies, showrooms and reviewed many websites but started and finished with Blackstone. None of the others could compare with the personable service we received and the quality of product so Blackstone won our business. We spoke with Patrick, the Manager of the design and installation along with James the owner himself and all gave up there time willingly whether our visit was planned or not because they knew they were the right people to give us the kitchen of our dreams.
I think any of the Blackstone staff we encountered will probably smile when I say we were not their easiest of customers to please! Patrick, Emma, James and especially Graham need special mention on here as they certainly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. Needless to say the kitchen has been installed perfectly and everything we asked for was accommodated. Even when things went wrong that were out of their control or by other services we employed, they still stepped up to do the right thing and help us out to ensure that their product was installed to the high standard that they promised. More recently, over a year later than when first installed, when we had issues with our dishwasher that damaged the door and surround, Blackstone stepped up again for their existing customer showing that even after all this time they still care and want their product look and be seen as the best. Karl in the office arranged everything for us and Graham, who again should get a special mention for his great customer service and brilliant workmanship, came out to us, replaced our door and made good all the issues we had. Our kitchen once again is stunning, my wife and I can again show it off and be the envy of all our friends with such a fantastic finished kitchen of our dreams.
James, to you and all your staff, in particular Graham, a massive thank you from the Bendalls. Please pass on our gratitude to all of the people that were involved.
K. M.
JUST WOW..... from initial phone call to final installation we have been amazed by the professionalism of Blackstone Kitchens. The customer service, the quality of the kitchen is exceptional. James and his team have made my whole kitchen experience great (which I was dreading) A special mention to Danielle (project manager)Patrick, Chris (design & technical) Terry & Andy (installation) and Graham & Kevin. Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend anyone planning their new kitchen.
M. S.
We've had our Blackstone kitchen installed for over a year now and still love it every day. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent! not everything went right first time, but I believe that the sign of a good company is how they deal with problems and Blackstone are first class. We've contacted them recently to obtain an additional interior shelf for one of our cupboards, and again nothing was too much trouble. They knew exactly what was required and sent one out within days FOC....what more could you ask for, the best in customer service. Highly recommend.
J. O.
We were so happy with the service Rob, Kevin and Danielle provided. The incredible experience started with my visit to their showroom in Bishops Stortford. The quality of the cabinetry and the service from initial design to installation was friendly, professional and had an emphasis on quality. We absolutely love spending time in our kitchen and would highly recommend Blackstone to anyone looking for a new stylish, high-quality kitchen.
K. J.
From communication, to design and installation, Blackstone were a pleasure to deal with. I visited a number of other Kitchen companies before finding Blackstone and they were inferior and more expensive! The installation team were fantastic, even staying late on a Friday night to see the job complete. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and i will be planning many more projects for them to undertake in the future.
C. D.
From the outset the guys at Blackstone could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Our schedule was elongated with a few hiccoughs along the way and it was not the easiest to accommodate. However, the end result speaks volumes about Blackstone’s quality and value; it is testament to their hard work and attention to detail. We are thoroughly delighted and look forward to many, many happy years with our top of the line bespoke kitchen.
K. H.
We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone at Blackstone for our truly stunning kitchen. Our expectations have been more than exceeded and everyone who has visited so far are in awe of the place too.
We must have visited at least a dozen places but knew from the beginning we chose the right company and dealing with everyone on every aspect right till the end has totally confirmed that. Whilst all involved in the process were very polite and professional etc, a special callout to Patrick at the Colchester showroom, Danielle as the main project lead who did amazingly well to keep us informed and always replied so promptly, the whole technical team and the fitters who ensured every ounce of detail was accounted for during install. We also had the pleasure of dealing with James the owner on a couple of occasions, which you rarely get. Overall, we felt extremely valued, the company couldn’t do enough for us and the customer service was second to none.
We’ve sung the praises of the firm to friends and family and won’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Although we expect the kitchen to last for many years, should we ever need anything else in future, we know exactly where to go.
Thank you so much once again.

We had a Blackstone kitchen fitted in 2016 and have been so pleased with the design and quality. Unfortunately we recently had accidental damage to our under mounted sink and Blackstone came to our rescue. It was not an easy job to remove the old sink without taking off the quartz work surface. Graham and his assistant Ross somehow managed it and did an absolutely fantastic job. Everything was put back together as if nothing had happened. Truly first rate work. It’s one thing having a great kitchen fitted but the icing on the cake is good after sales care and in this Blackstone cannot be faulted. Well done and thanks to everyone involved and in particular thanks to Graham and Ross. One very happy customer.

A recommendation led us to ask Blackstone to design & install our new kitchen/pantry/boot room. New kitchens can be stressful projects but it was sound advice; right from their first design ideas through the install process and ultimately to the painstaking finishing off work, Blackstone’s attention to detail gave us nothing but confidence that we were in reliable hands.
So, on the basis of great ideas, a team of specialists who can be contacted easily, and a beautifully finished high-quality end product, we are delighted to pass the recommendation on.
E. C.
Can’t recommend enough!!
We are returning customers to Blackstone after they completed us a beautiful kitchen with a 5-star customer experience. We have just had an additional piece completed today to house our washing machine & dryer and we are over the moon with it! We had the same exceptional service this time - Joe went above & beyond to ensure all was perfect for us. Sam, Natalie, Megan, Nelson, Craig & Benji were amazing - nothing was too much trouble and ensured all went smoothly. Looking forward to starting our next project with Blackstone - creating a stunning bar! Thank you so much to all of you!

Kitchen was designed and ordered in 2014, but due to problems attributed to poor choice of builders (nothing to do with Blackstone) the extension works have only just been completed by a different builder. Blackstone had the kitchen complete and ready in Summer 2015 and very kindly stored it for us until we were ready (Dec 2016) The kitchen has finally been installed and it is stunning. From the process of design and ordering with James and Emily, with creative input from Patrick, installation by Graeme, and touching up of cabinets by Craig at the end, the entire team has been nothing but professional and courteous, going the extra mile to help us out in out hour of need. We cannot thank them all enough for making our dream kitchen a reality! If you are thinking of a Neptune, Plain English or DeVol Kitchen, (we looked at all these), give Blackstone a call for a quote and i'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with both the quote and the quality of the finished product - (no chipboard or MDF cabinets here!) Needless to say, Highly Recommended! A*****
E. S.
We’ve had our Blackstone kitchen for two years now and highly recommended them. Having spent many months researching shaker kitchens, Blackstone really stood out from the crowd. The kitchens are absolutely stunning - they are beautifully designed and the quality, finish and performance is outstanding. The design and customer service teams were very professional and a pleasure to deal with, and the price was very competitive. We couldn’t be happier with our kitchen and love all the compliments we keep getting!
L. R. (.
Blackstone were truly fabulous in creating and installing not only our kitchen but also the utility and bootroom also. James was outstanding in delivering what could only be described as an incredible service. The design and quality was top class, the installation and attention to detail has been superb. I would not look anywhere else for a kitchen, Blackstone ticks all the boxes.
G. E.
I didn't initially intend to wait a year to write this review as we loved the look and feel of our Blackstone kitchen on completion of install. However, the delay has worked well because i can now confirm, not only do Blackstone provide;
- First class design & planning (they were the first company to reply and come to our house to measure up, beating other big kitchen companies by weeks).
- Excellent 'can't do enough for you' installation.
- But also that the quality of their products appears to be excellent also. Our kitchen was installed in May 2020 and everything still looking great and working perfectly.
Dealing with James, Daniele, Kevin and Graeme & Co during the planning, design and installation of our kitchen was easy and professional. Anytime we had a special requirement eg. our island or mantle over the cooker, the guys worked through challenges and delivered. No doubt, we'll require some tightening, realignment over the coming years as with all finely tuned products but we look forward to working with the highly lauded post installation team.

We would thoroughly recommend Blackstone Kitchens to anyone and everyone buying a new kitchen! I came across Blackstone on Instagram and initially really liked the style of their kitchens, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they were reasonably priced too. Blackstone created an entirely bespoke design for us and we couldn't be happier with our finished kitchen. The style is exactly what we wanted and the quality is fantastic. We had some delays with our building work, which meant we weren't ready by our installation date. Blackstone were so accommodating and managed to fit us in at a later date. Throughout the entire process we found everyone at Blackstone to be very professional and friendly. We made a lot of tweaks to the design along the way and nothing was too much to ask! The fitters did a fantastic job to make sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t recommend Blackstone enough, and if we move in the future we won't hesitate to buy another Blackstone kitchen!

We had our kitchen installed in November 2019. We spoke to a lot of kitchen suppliers and did a lot of research before we were personally recommended Blackstone Kitchens. Our previous experience with Wren in our last house was awful and so we were very hesitant and wary of who we would choose to use next. A friend recommended Blackstone's to us and so we made the trip to Colchester to visit their showroom and speak to their designers. From design, through to completion, we had nothing short of excellent customer service. We are thrilled to bits with the cabinetry and workmanship. Everyone says how 'beautiful' our kitchen is and we often marvel over the handmade cabinets, pleased in our choice. We would highly recommend Blackstone Kitchens. They made the whole experience easy and we had every trust in their delivery and they certainly didn't let us down.
J. A.
Perfect in every way!
We were recommended by a friend to Blackstone Kitchens and I was amazed as soon as I visited the showroom. The product range and the colour choice's are amazing, you will not find a better quality kitchen. The company is run extremely well and the service I have to say from start to finish has been impeccable. The installation team really stood out for me and were very friendly and did an outstanding job, we had complications with out integrated fridge and the guys were happy to fit it not once but twice. Our thanks go to Kevin, Graham and Craig for your professionalism and for everything you did, these guys really stood out for us. We are so pleased with our kitchen and would truly recommend Blackstone's to friends, family and any one else who is thinking of purchasing a new kitchen for their home. Thanks once again Blackstone's
P. m.
Fantastic service, quality and value for money.
We had our Georgian Shaker kitchen fitted about 2 months ago, and we are so happy with the finished product. All Blackstone staff are courteous and very knowledgeable in their given area of expertise, and communication was seamless.
The quality of their kitchens is exceptional, and this is further enhanced by the high standard of fitting and painting. Any aftercare has been dealt with quickly and without fuss, and with their extensive Guarantee, our kitchen should continue to look like new, for many Years.
We decided to try Blackstone after researching many kitchen companies via the internet and visits to their showrooms. Everything that Blackstone offered exceeded the quality of the others, but the price remained competitive.

I have purchased two kitchens now with Blackstone Kitchens which tells you everything you need to know. First class from start to finish and the quality and craftsmanship is excellent. Would 100% recommend and the customer service is also excellent. Everyone at the company are absolutely lovely and nothing is ever an issue. Would purchase a third if I moved house again :-) as they definitely give the wow factor and a real selling feature to any house.
J. L.
Blackstone provided an excellent service from start to finish. They have a flexible design service that centred around our personal requirements. This has resulted in a kitchen that works very well for our family.
Graham and colleagues who fitted the kitchen were superb and the quality of the finish is great.
We are delighted with our new kitchen and would have no issues in recommending Blackstone to future customers. We also plan to use them for redesigning our utility/boot room.

We just want to say how thrilled we are with the end result. Our kitchen looks amazing. The craftsmanship and customer service delivered have been top-notch. We would like to thank all those involved in the process from beginning to end, and we look forward to many years of enjoyment from our new kitchen.

As a Carpenter & Joiner I was somewhat reticent to let someone else build a semi bespoke kitchen for our house, however time constraints with work meant that I simply didn't have the time to hand-make a kitchen from scratch.
We did a lot of research before choosing a manufacturer, to the point of visiting factories, I know how a good kitchen is made and I know how much it costs, Blackstone were simply head and shoulders above everyone else when it came to value vs quality.
I fitted the kitchen Blackstone supplied and I cannot recommend the product enough. The customer service was excellent throughout and any little niggles (which there always are with these things) were rectified immediately.
A really great team of people offering a top quality product at a very realistic price.
R. W.
I’m absolutely delighted with the kitchen Blackstone’s made and installed for us. To be honest, we are quite demanding customers and we wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. I have to say the finish is fantastic and the customer service has been exceptional. From the design through to the detail, the installation and the finished product, there’s nothing that we weren’t completely happy with. They really went out of their way to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I can’t recommend them highly enough, they are exactly the sort of company you want to deal with … I just wish they made bathrooms too!
G. S.
Kevin and the whole team were brilliant-we love our kitchen so much. They navigated our builders well and delivered us a beautifully crafted end result. Graeme kindly came out and helped us when our dishwasher had to be removed for repair and helped touch the skirting up again so you can’t tell at all. Amazing service even years later. Thank you!!
V. L.
We are delighted with our Blackstone kitchen. The quality and service has been exceptional. Every member of the team was a pleasure to deal with as they guided us through the design and production process. Nothing was too much trouble. When it came to the installation, their attention to detail was incredible and the guys were all lovely. We have our dream kitchen. Thank you.
P. L.
I feel compelled to leave another review after yet more super service from Blackstone. We had our Blackstone kitchen fitted 2 years and it has served us so well, we get many remarks from visitors about the craftmanship and design. We really love it and enjoy cooking and the quality of the cabinetry is fabulous.
Last week my integrated dishwasher died on me and I ordered a new one to be delivered 3 days later. When I called Blackstone to ask if they would be able to remove the fitted door and skirting, they arranged to come to me the next day and then again the day after the dishwasher was installed to refit all the cabinetry. I was amazed by their service and the quality of work from Kevin & Andy. I am incredibly thankful to them for helping to make an awkward job actually nothing of the sort. Thank you.
D. M.
We opted to use Blackstone Kitchens as soon as they presented their rendered design. It might sound daft, but having approached other high street names with the same brief, the quality we received from them just didn't compare to what Lauren at Blackstone produced. She captured all of our requirements, made the most of the space perfectly and gave us options to compare. We couldn't un-see her final design and there really was no going back from there!
The whole process was very professional and each member of staff we encountered, couldn't do enough for us. At no stage was there ever any pressure and we both felt that they wanted to showcase the best of what they offer. Their kitchens are a quality product and it became obvious that they didn't want their customer to settle for less than they expect of themselves.
We are blown away with the finished product and it really is like stepping into the final design. We absolutely love the kitchen and just gutted that we are stuck in lockdown and can't show it off to family and friends! We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the team Blackstone Kitchens!
S. S.
Excellent service, quality, value. From start to finish my whole experience of Blackstone has been impeccable. Following an initial meeting, the help with design from Patrick, the diligent surveys by Kevin and Graeme in preparation, the prompt and informative communication from Danielle, Karl and the team throughout, all smooth and professional. All my expectations were managed. The installation was on schedule, Kevin and Andy were a pleasure to have around and took great care of every detail. One definitely feels Blackstone's pride in their company.
I tend to be very careful when recommending tradesmen to friends, but I have had no hesitation in putting Blackstone forward to all.
They feel like friends who have never let me down. I look forward to working with them again.

We just wanted to take the time to thank you and the rest of the Blackstone Family for our beautiful kitchen.
We still can't believe we own such a stunning kitchen, I found myself coming downstairs at night to check it still there. Everyone who sees it says the same how exquisite it is.
From the very first time we entered your showroom in Colchester. We were greeted so warmly by Mariella. She made us feel a welcomed and we knew we were in safe hands. She recommended going for a Lamp Black kitchen and although we never saw the colour we trusted her advice.
We would also like to thank Patrick for listening to our needs and coming up with a design that is both practical and beautiful in its design. It is absolutely breathtaking (although we are slightly biased).
Thank you to Graham and Andy that installed our beautiful kitchen, their professionalism was second to none. Also we would like to thank you Danielle for your patience and corresponding to our emails so quickly.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blackstone to others, so they too can feel part of the Blackstone Family.
Thank you doesn't seem enough, but it has changed the way we live and interact. The Kitchen is definitely the heart of our home.
D. H.
The service from Blackstone Kitchens has been fantastic from design to fitting, and after sales. We never felt pressured by sales people, and the fitters were polite, clean and helpful. We are thrilled with the quality of our kitchen and the price was extremely good, particularly given the quality of the kitchen furniture.
J. S.
After extensive research into quality kitchens we were impressed by the detail & finish of Blackstone kitchens. Our experience with Blackstone was one of great customer service from initial design to onsite visits and expert installation. We love our new kitchen and would highly recommend Blackstone and all the team.
S. D.
We are absolutely delighted with our Blackstone Georgian kitchen, it looks stunning. The service from Blackstone from design through to installation has been excellent, supportive, personal and professional. The bespoke cabinetry and the colour choices create a beautiful, timeless shaker classic but with a modern edge, we love it and are very grateful to everyone that has supported our project. I would absolutely recommend Blackstone Kitchens.

Our Blackstone kitchen was installed (by one of Blackstone’s fitters) in the summer of 2017. We chose the company because we wanted a handmade real wood painted kitchen, which would be a real feature in our newly converted home. I was, and remain, certain that we made the right choice. Our kitchen is beautiful and we love it.
Given that the units are painted, I have had to touch up the paint in a few places in the last 18 months; not a time consuming job, but something to bear in mind when choosing painted units. Since installation we’ve had a few minor snags. Blackstone have been responsive each time and have come quickly to remedy them, free of charge. To me this is an important marker of a company’s customer service.

We first found Blackstone by accident when we were let down by our existing big-name supplier with 3 weeks before the kitchen installation was due to start. Blackstone stepped in, understood our plans and requirements and delivered a high quality product and saved the family from having a disappointing long wait for a new kitchen.
The combination of an eye for detail, design flair, always helpful at the end of the phone line and a professional implementation made them a pleasure to work with. Nothing was too much for them and correspondence continued over weekends and bank holidays. I feel compelled to give them high praise. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to a friend. I am loving my new kitchen and it is a joy to have and cook in! Well done Blackstones and good luck for the future!
J. H.
Fantastic job of my kitchen, not a straight forward job in a 400 year old house, but the whole team did us proud, from our initial visit to the factory through the design process and the fitting, not forgetting the final paint touch up. The whole team were helpful, flexible, communication and friendly. The standard of the workmanship is high, I would thoroughly recommend Blackstone Kitchens.
S. F.
I would just like to say that my first impression of Blackstones was the day we turned up at the showroom without an appointment, yet Patrick kindly showed us around and also gave us access to the workshop. His enthusiasm and professionalism impressed us from the start. It also became quickly obvious to us that everyone involved with the company was immensely proud of it and also the roles they play within it. I knew then that Blackstones was the company we wanted to install our new kitchen.
We saw our plans brought to life by the design team and then had the pleasure of meeting Chris who came to check all the details. There were a few little issues to sort out but after that it was plain sailing and we were impressed by the willingness to help.
The day of the installation arrived, and it was like a military operation. Everyone in the crew knew exactly what went where and what they were doing with it. They were a smashing bunch of guys who just got on with the job very professionally and politely. We greatly enjoyed having them in our home. A further impressive touch was the fact that James, the owner, took the time out to personally visit us on site and make sure everything was running smoothly. The whole installation of both the kitchen and utility room took only three days which we were amazed at.
It is only left to be said that I am
Totally in love with my new kitchen. Everyone who has seen it has commented on the wow factor it has and have also asked who made and fitted it. The whole process has felt like a thoroughly bespoke kitchen from start to finish and the overall quality of materials and finishing are top notch. My only regret is that we didn’t do this years ago!!
I can’t recommend Blackstones highly enough and I would strongly advise anyone who wants a new kitchen to listen to Blackstone’s advice and expertise. They definitely won’t regret it! We wish everybody at the company well and hope it continues to go from strength to strength!
With many thanks for making everything we wanted a true reality,

I had my kitchen installed in 2016. I have been delighted with the quality and look of the kitchen on top of the attention to detail which came with the installation. In 2019, I noticed a few little wear and tear issues mainly paint chips and some the magnets to keep the doors closed coming out. We also had to remove one of the plinths as a result of a dishwasher repair.
I contacted Blackstone to discuss this with the kitchen still being under guarantee and they sent the lovely Kevin out to have a look without a single question.
Over a couple of visits he:
-Repaired the plinth that had to be removed and refitted it. He also put measures in place so we could easily remove the dishwasher in the future without having to remove the whole plinth (just a small section).
-He filled and re-painted all sections where there was wear and tear.
- Adjusted some of the drawers so they open and close a bit better.
- Replaced some the magnets that had come out over time.
The whole experience couldn't have been better. The kitchen was the best thing we invested in in my whole house and I can't recommend Blackstones enough. It's rare to get such fabulous customer service these days.
J. R.
Excellent company from start to finish
We saw a friends kitchen before we decided on Blackstone and the price with the quality just don’t compare to other companies.
We have since recommended Blackstone to 3 friends who are really happy too.
The fitters and the team are all incredibly polite and courteous at all times.
J. W.
We had looked at several kitchen suppliers but from the moment we walked into the showroom in Colchester, it was clear that Blackstone offer exceptional service. From the initial enquiry, through design, planning, site visits and installation, the service has been excellent. This is a company that is doing very well indeed and and yet all the staff still managed to make us feel as though we were the only customer. We are delighted with our new kitchen and would highly recommend Blackstone.
R. H.
From start to finish our experience of dealing with Blackstone kitchens has been a positive one.
There was no pressured sales pitch at the beginning and we felt as though we were taken by the hand and guided carefully through the minefield that is kitchen planning. They managed the fine balance of being both proactive and responsive offering great suggestions and solutions to problems and were quick to respond to all of our calls, questions and queries.
Regardless of their positions within the company it always feels as though you are talking with a member of a team and that this team is there to help and support you. James was always a pleasure to deal with, Patrick was very professional with all of the planning and Davia was thoroughly efficient with all things related to admin and finances. Having recently worked with numerous tradesmen in the building of our kitchen it was Rob the kitchen fitter who really stood out for us. He was respectful, thorough, professional and diligent all with a cheerful and engaging manner that made it a pleasure to have him in our home.
We cannot recommend Blackstone Kitchens highly enough and if our verbal recommendation isn't enough then we would invite you to come and see the results of their teamwork for yourself.
Z. G.
I could not recommend Blackstone more highly. We fell in love with one of their kitchens and to be honest, it was more than we could really afford to spend, but it offered us everything we were looking for. Nobody else we saw did such a beautiful shaker style, that was repaintable in the future and had a pantry unit in the range that was exactly what we were after. It always places extra pressure on things when you have exceeded your budget - you just don't know if it will have been worth it until the end. However I can say that it absolutely was, as not only is the kitchen a fantastic quality, but the team that installed it and everyone before that were absolutely fantastic. Genuinely could not fault the quality and customer service and that's really saying something considering how detail-focused (and picky!) we are. I have no doubt that if there were any issues in the future (which I doubt there will be), Blackstone would be straight back to resolve them and that is fantastic piece of mind to have when you have spent so much money. Thank you so much to everyone at Blackstone - the kitchen is a place we love to cook and spend time together as a family and its genuinely helped make our home a better place to live.

We are so pleased we took the decision to go with Blackstone to design and install our bespoke kitchen, bathroom furniture and wardrobes. Their 1909 range has transformed our living spaces. The quality of the cabinetry and attention to detail is apparent in the finish. They are a great team to work with, nothing was too much bother, very accommodating. We would have no hesitation to use them again.

We bought our kitchen from blackstones December 2015. We are delighted with both the quality and service. The kitchen is outstanding...
I made an error and bought the wrong integrated fridge freezer to fit my integrated doors, and Blackstones just collected my original doors and gave me new ones... I couldn't believe it. Nothing is a problem, A pleasure to deal with.
My previous kitchen was from Clive Christian and I much prefer this one, and even my kitchen fitter thought my new Blackstone kitchen was better quality.
So I give Blackstone 5 stars, and thank James, Emily, Davia and Patrick very much for all their help.

For anyone who is looking for a new kitchen I really can’t recommend Blackstones highly enough. Whilst the kitchens are so beautiful they sell themselves it is their customer service that has blown me away. Everyone whom I’ve had dealings with couldn’t be more friendly & helpful with a genuine passion for their product. Nothing is too much trouble, even when you tweak the design 2 days prior to delivery!!
In an age where customer service can be sadly lacking it has been a joy to find a company who excel in it!

Blackstones are amazing. They were really responsive, professional and friendly all the way through the process. Nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen looks absolutely stunning - very similar in look and feel to DeVol and Neptune, at much better prices! There are some lovely details they add like little 'B' branded magnets inside the cupboards which makes the whole thing look really smart. I honestly can't recommend them enough.

Blackstone kitchens have created a beautiful kitchen and utility/ bootroom for us. It is absolutely stunning and I have literally never seen such high quality cabinetry.
They worked very hard as a team to bring things together for us on time, on what was a huge building project for us, and also were very patient during the planning process.
Every guest to visit our house is "wowed" by the kitchen, and more importantly for us, it makes every task in the kitchen and utility an absolute pleasure! Thank you!

Superb customer service and after sales, Patrick and Kevin in the office were abs brilliant, all staff are friendly and quick to resolve any issues we had. Graeme who fitted the kitchen, his attention to detail is excellent and i cannot recommend this kitchen company highly enough.
Our kitchen was fitted just over 2yrs ago and it still looks like new, the tiny issues we have had have all been resolved with no fuss or drama unlike many other kitchen brands on the market.

We have just had our beautiful shaker kitchen installed and are over the moon with it. The quality and finish is stunning. The care taken during the build, installation and finishing from the team was exceptional and the end product reflects that.

Cannot recommend Blackstone Kitchens enough. Beautiful craftsmanship, fantastic customer service and we are absolutely delighted with the Georgian kitchen they installed for us.
This a company that cares passionately about what they do and that shines through every person you meet.

Blackstone fitted our new kitchen over 4 (yes four!) years ago, but we decided a month or so back to upgrade our range cooker to an Aga. During this time some BS features had changed, making the installation more difficult with a few changes required before Aga were happy to install. So I spoke to James and Patrick. They couldn't have been more helpful, coming back to Essex to visit to check out the problem, then making a few changes to our mantle set up and supply, so that it met the new standards. At no cost to us. So not only do we (still) adore our new kitchen, which looks as good today as the day it was fitted, but we are also hugely grateful to the commitment shown by James and his team to make sure a problem was resolved. To me that demonstrated their commitment to still delivering great customer service, even four years later, making sure we continued to be happy with our kitchen so that it gives us many more years of satisfaction and envious looks. Thanks for that chaps. So yes, I would highly recommend you to other customers for your excellent service, your fabulously stylish kitchens and quite simply your determination to be the best in the business through delivering the ultimate customer experience.

Well what can I say such a professional Company. James the owner could not be more helpful. I dealt with him directly when first needing help with the design of my kitchen. Patrick Boxall who is the Operations Director has been along to my house on several occasions as I have changed my mind (my perocative of course)! They have sourced the very special Granite that I wanted and have organised me going along to choose my own slabs.
I have in the past had Clive Christian Kitchens & dealt with Davenports but I must say with Hand On My Heart that Blackstones have been second to none. My kitchen is being made at the moment and will be layed
out in the workshop for me to view before it is delivered and installed. I must say I was nervous when I first went along to see them as they were not a name that I had come across but they were recommended by a carpenter that was laying my wooden floor. Thank you to Dave I am so excited. I will keep you posted on the progress of my Kitchen but I feel confident that it will be the best kitchen I have ever had.
Thank you also to Emily who has done all of the drawings and liased with me regarding all of my needs. Well done!!

We searched locally and also on the internet and came across Blackstone Kitchen, Looking through the on-line galley and pricing it all seemed a very good for a hand made kitchen, We called into their show room and Meet Patrick who was very helpful, looking at the units in the showroom I could see they where good quality.
Patrick got his team to design the Kitchen for us and the CAD system they use was the best I have seen, it really showed how the kitchen would look as if from a photo.
We Placed the order and paid our deposit, It was all a little worrying as you have to pay the full amount in stages up front before you actually have the kitchen delivered ( apart from Installation cost, this was paid on final completion) , No need to worry though, Every time we called there was always someone to answer any questions and was dealt with very efficiently, The kitchen was delivered as arranged, Graeme (the carpenter) made a great job of fitting it with attention to detail.
Craig the decorator then came round and gave the kitchen its final decoration.
We are very please with the end result and feel it is very good value for money.
