1970s Kitchen Modernisation
After many years of good service, the owners wanted to modernise their 1970s kitchen and add contemporary storage solutions, whilst retaining the personality of their much-loved “retro chic” kitchen
Rather than a total replacement, the worktops, sink and tap were replaced
The old cabinet door hinges were replaced and upgraded with new high quality concealed-style soft-close units from Hafele. The old drawer runners (basic runners) were also replaced and upgraded with new high quality full extension, ball-bearing units with soft-close functionality, also from Hafele
The end panels were repaired, sanded, primed and painted in-situ with industrial-quality, highly durable paint, in a soft blue. The cabinet doors were removed to the workshop and professionally sprayed
The shelves under the hob, and under the oven, were replaced with full-extension pan drawer boxes and the cabinet doors replaced with custom-made drawer fronts
The tiling was refreshed and some additional LED task lighting installed

“Customer testimonial:
“He has transformed a tired 1970 kitchen into a smart and modern area...”
”We had been wanting to modernise our kitchen for a while, when we saw an advert in the Wiltshire Living offering the opportunity to renovate what we already have
Nick came to see us and we immediately knew that he was going to be able to provide us with our various ideas
Our kitchen has many cupboards of varying sizes which he stripped down and treated with up to six applications, resulting in a truly wonderful restoration, which has transformed a tired 1970 kitchen into a smart and modern area
This, along with new work tops, sink unit, under hob pan drawers and some updated lighting have completed the new look
His standard of work is of the highest quality and his attention to detail is meticulous
Nick has excellent communication skills and has a great eye for how the finished work will look
Nothing is too much trouble and he is most keen to please, even to the finest detail
We would therefore recommend him to you without reservation”
