When damp was discovered in the corner of her old kitchen – along with the frustration of not even being able to plug in a new air fryer – this customer decided it was finally time to take the plunge. After more than 20 years with a tired oak kitchen that lacked storage, she wanted a fresh start.
“I’d been thinking about a new kitchen for a while, and when the damp was found I knew I couldn’t put it off any longer.”
Why Wellingtons?
The customer’s cousin already had a Wellingtons Kitchen and recommended us because we take care of everything – from skips to electricians and plumbing.
“I liked that Wellingtons did everything – it really took the pressure off me.”
She had already visited Wickes and Wren, but hearing about friends’ disappointing experiences made her wary. Stepping into the Wellingtons showroom quickly put her mind at ease.
“As soon as I walked in, I saw one of the displays and thought – that’s the one. I loved it straight away.”
The Design
The brief was clear: something elegant, timeless, and practical:
Stone-coloured cupboards with delicate cup handles
A worktop chosen with designer Lorraine, featuring both warm and cool veining to tie together the cupboards and flooring
Integrated bins and tall units for far more storage than before
A carefully shaped worktop to create a natural pathway through the kitchen.
“My old kitchen had gaps everywhere and hardly any storage. This feels so much bigger, with everything in its place.”
The Transformation
The Wellingtons team worked quickly and efficiently, handling not only the new kitchen installation but also the damp course and all building works.
“There were three of them working – it didn’t take long at all, and they sorted everything. It was all very good.”
Every appliance was purchased through Wellingtons Electrical, who registered each one for her – ensuring warranties were in place with no hassle.
From a dated oak kitchen with wasted space to a light, elegant, and practical new heart of the home, this transformation shows what’s possible when design expertise and full project management come together.
The customer is now enjoying a kitchen that’s not just beautiful, but functional and future-proof.
