Kitchen/Dining Room Knock Through
Kitchen/Dining Room Knock Through

This project was the biggest project to date for Matt Simpson Home Improvements.

Including new En-suite and main Bathroom, 2 single bedrooms knocked through into 1 large bedroom, re-designed and built triple sliding wardrobe to master bedroom, fully decorated throughout, new cloakroom, 55m2 of engineered oak flooring and finally an existing kitchen/dining room and utility room knock through to create a new open plan family kitchen/utility/diner.

The planning for these works took around 24 working hours to gather a final quote plus an additional 16 hours to provide a working schedule which incorporated no less than 6 trades at different times to work in conjunction with the next!!

Sub-Contractor Electricians, Plumber, Plasterer, Decorator and Floor supplier were used during the 9 weeks plus my trades which, on this project, included carpentry, kitchen fitting, floor laying, tiling and decorating.

Fully refurbished bedroom
Beginning on the first floor we worked through the bedroom knock through then onto the en-suite before concentrating on the main bathroom then moving downstairs to carry out all of the ‘1st fix ‘ alterations like removing all of the dividing walls necessary and all electrical, plumbing and plastering works.

The bathroom was then completed along with all of the 1st floor decorating then after the new kitchen/utility/diner had been created and plastered this was fully decorated before the new kitchen was installed and the engineered oak flooring laid.

Finally, the cloakroom was completed and all of the 2nd fix electrics and plumbing finished to mean that the proposed schedule of 8 weeks and 3 days was bang on target !!!!

The customers have left a glowing testimony detailing the whole teams input and care taken during this whole project of which I am incredibly proud.

Matt Simpson Home Improvements replaced my fascias, soffits and gutterings. A very professional job at a very reasonable price. It was in fact half the price of a quote I had received from someone else!! Matt and the guy who came to carry out the works were very efficient and very friendly. ( And they like their cups of tea )!! I would certainly recommend Matt to anyone and will not hesitate to use him in the future for any other work that may be required.

Matt Simpson has done numerous jobs for me over the past couple of years, including fitting laminate floors, kitchen worktops and units, tiling, fitted wardrobes and decking. All of the jobs have always been done very neatly, in the time specified, at the cost quoted and to a very high standard. I would happily recommend Matt to anyone for future jobs.

If you want perfection then Matt Simpson is your man. He has just put an amazing new kitchen in for us. From the planning until completion …..just absolutely first class…..and everything went smoothly. Matt’s attention to detail was spot on. As well as being very professional at his job, he is a really nice man with a great personality. We will certainly be asking Matt to carry out more work for us and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.

Matt did a fantastic job decorating a very old cottage for us which was looking very dated! We were delighted with the work that he did and were even more pleased that he finished the job right on schedule and apart from some extra work I asked him to do right on budget too. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt and would definitely contact him again.

Matt replaced my tired old fashioned looking kitchen into a beautiful modern looking one. I am so pleased with it & can’t believe the difference, it even looks bigger & for a small kitchen that’s something!!! I am just so impressed! He also carried out a full and comprehensive re-decoration of my Hall, Stairs and Landing as well as my Lounge. Matt is very reliable & his workmanship is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends, family or anyone who were looking for a very professional tradesman to transform their house into a beautiful looking home.

We used Matt Simpson to renovate our kitchen. We had a wall removed to make a big kitchen-dining room and had a new kitchen fitted. It was a challenging job, as the room is not square, having an angled wall. Matt worked closely with us and the kitchen supplier to find the best solutions to maximise storage using the space we have. We are so pleased with the end result – Matt and his team worked really hard to get the job finished on time and minimise disruption/mess! Thanks!

We asked Matt to quote for our new kitchen in October. He gave us a date and what I thought was a very reasonable quote so we decided to go for it. We bought our kitchen through Wickes (in hindsight We should of used Howdens). Matt turned up on site and on time. He also organised the plasterers and plumbers. They also turned up on time and completed work within their time slots. Not only did Matt remove the old kitchen, organised the skip, installed the new kitchen, floor and wall tiles! Plus he also did the mist coat and finished the ceiling painted, and installed a new internal door and skirting! The photos show for themselves.....Matt finished all his jobs to an extremely high standard and having worked in the construction industry for 25 years myself, I was deeply impressed by his standard. I would thoroughly recommend his work. Matt stayed within quoted budget and my pretty high expectations. Over all very very happy with all Matt has done,.....dream kitchen....completed.

Matt, just wanted to write to say what a fantastic job you and your team have made of refitting our kitchen. I know that having walls knocked down, kitchen ripped out, new walls built and completely new kitchen installed should have been stressful, but you made it so much easier for us by having such great guys working for you, cleaning up at the end of each day, sticking to your time line/schedule (whilst still accommodating our little changes along the way) and just generally being so personable all the way through. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others. Thank you so, so much.
