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.

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 was recommended to us by a friend after we had admired her lovely kitchen! Our kitchen was fitted within and probably just short of the time frame with minimal disruption! Matt is a perfectionist – we love the final result! We would recommend his work – just make sure there are plenty of biscuits and tea to go around!!

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.

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.

My wife wanted our new kitchen completed before the Summer Holidays, as all our relatives would be travelling over to see us from North America, USA and Canada. Our original contractor let us down, and was unable to do the work in the time frame that we needed it done. I contacted Matt purely on spec, and got an immediate reply, he visited us and stated he could do this when we wanted. After taking measurements, he sent us a planned diagram of the kitchen to our specification, and gave us the estimate. It was slightly more expensive than what I had originally hoped, however Matt was timely, worked constantly and is very professional and dedicated, the products were of a superior quality and the workmanship was superb. This was all done and completed in a matter of days, and my wife and I are delighted with the overall result, and exactly what she wanted. I cant say enough of how impressed I am by the quality, look and workmanship, certainly a good investment and now a very functional kitchen. I would recommend Matt Simpson to anyone.
