Mark has been fantastic from start to finish. Our kitchen and utility design had lots of bespoke elements, but Mark has been so thorough so explain options, give advice and guidance and is always professional. We're so happy with the designs and would highly recommend Mark to anyone undertaking a kitchen renovation.

Designing a new kitchen on my own felt a bit overwhelming at first, but working with Mark made the entire process so much less stressful. Throughout the project Mark was patient, and genuinely listened to my ideas. He took the time to explain the potential impacts of different design decisions which empowered me to make well informed choices and ultimately arrive at the absolute best design for me. Mark’s attention to detail and design expertise are exceptional. He came up with brilliant layout ideas that maximized both storage and counter space in ways I never would have thought of myself. If you are looking for a talented, professional, and reliable kitchen designer, I cannot recommend Mark highly enough you are in safe hands!

Really helpful, fantastic design and makes the whole process very simple, especially when buying through places like DIY kitchens or Howdens

I can’t recommend Mark highly enough! He made the task of designing a new kitchen so easy with his excellent knowledge, sound advice, meticulous attention to detail and speedy and efficient communication. The plans and images he provides brings everything to life and he was always at the end of an email (with extremely quick responses) if I had any questions. We were in a rush to get our final plans in place and Mark went out of his way to get things done rapidly which was hugely appreciated. I would absolutely use Design A Kitchen again - in fact I wouldn’t design another kitchen without them.

We can’t recommend Mark highly enough. He was so helpful at every stage of the process, giving us lots of great ideas for solving difficult problems with our space and always coming up with options which we would have never been able to do ourselves. He was also so helpful in turning around designs quickly and his communication was brilliant, he was always just an email away and responded so promptly. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again if we are ever designing another kitchen!

We decided to use Mark's services for kitchen planning as we were both short on time and inspiration! Mark has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process, he's clearly very experienced and added value for the full room design, sharing his experience and knowledge not only on the kitchen layout and units but also things like flooring and worktops. Our builder (kitchen being upgraded as part of an extension) has been really happy with the quality of the drawings/ plans; they've had really useful details on for him and the team as we approach first fix of the build. Would i do anything differently.... maybe we should have called Mark in sooner as he's certainly in demand but he's shown great flexibility to get us fitted in and had everything back to us in good time. Thanks Mark, we'll send you a picture when it's all in!

We were given Design A Kitchen's contact details by the kitchen manufacturer. Mark offers a very professional and organised process, providing lots of valuable advice and insights into the latest kitchen design solutions and various options. I found the process engaging and clear and we very quickly settled on a layout solution and style, which he then documented thoroughly. Using the information provided, I was able to get a priced quote from the kitchen manufacturer quickly. Similarly, my kitchen installer was able to review the kitchen and provide an estimate. I have yet to shop around for alternative prices locally for the worktops but intend to do so using the worktop sheet provided by Mark. I highly recommend Design A Kitchen and Mark, and have indeed already passed his details to a friend a work. Howard Wright

Absolutely no hesitation recommending Mark at Design A Kitchen - invaluable knowledge, attention to detail and a wealth of expertise. Mark brought our vision to life and considered so many aspects in the design of our new kitchen and utility that we would never have thought of. We chose Mark based on reviews we had read and are so glad we did - we needed guidance and didn't have time or the knowledge to embark on something as important as this ourselves. From start to finish Mark's service has been first class - he has given us peace of mind throughout and has made the whole process of designing and ordering stress free - thank you Mark!

Mark was invaluable from start to finish during our kitchen planning process. He has great knowledge and offered some great ideas along the way. The design pack that he has created is amazing and has made placing our kitchen order so much easier. I would recommend him to anyone that is thinking of having a new kitchen installed.

We found Mark on the Facebook group - DIY Kitchens – Design & Planning Forum and saw that he was highly recommended. We had a decent idea of the layout we wanted and tried to use the planner on DIY Kitchens ourselves but as a kitchen/utility is such a big purchase, I wanted to make sure it was perfect and you don’t know what you don’t know! My husband was reluctant as he thought we didn’t need help but after our session with Mark, he was full of praise and realisation that indeed an expert hand is invaluable. From that first session, Mark took so much time to understand what we wanted, he was so knowledgable and shared so many ideas and tips, has been patient with us throughout the process and is incredibly responsive and flexible and he turned around updated designs for us in a really short space of time so that we could take advantage of a DIYK sale. We couldn’t be happier with our final design and we are so excited to see it come to life! The design pack provided gives you everything you need and it’s made the process of ordering with DIYK smooth. A renovation can be a stressful and overwhelming project and Mark’s support has been such a relief as it has made the kitchen design and order process so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark and would certainly use his services again. Thank you!
