Highlights
"Rycroft Kitchens were excellent in fitting our new office kitchen. The job was completed on time, professionally executed, and finished to a very high standard. They even built us a bespoke cupboard which turned out brilliantly. Very accomplished craftsmen with a great eye for detail. Five stars – highly recommended."
"The work carried out by Doug at Rycroft Kitchens exceeded my expectations by far. The job was a very challenging one as the space was so limited and had sloping ceilings. His standard of workmanship was incredible and you could tell that he was a perfectionist. He was super reliable and the price was a very fair price considering the amount of work involved. He undertook complex plumbing jobs and recommended an electrician who was also excellent. They worked as a team so well."
"Doug has a very approachable positive manner. His work and attention to detail is second to none, nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen was a mix of refurbishing an existing run of units with new doors / drawer fronts etc. together with fitting new Howdens units and appliances and modifying new units to construct a bespoke dresser type feature. Along with fully re-decorating and laying luxury rigid vinyl flooring. I would highly recommend Doug (Rycroft Kitchens) and look forward to using him again in the future."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
