“Highly recommended! Jay provides first-class service and outstanding workmanship. He worked on our kitchen, was clean, tidy, and very reasonably priced. Nothing was too much trouble for him.”
— Chris Walkden
“Elite Kitchen Installations relocated our kitchen from one room to another nearby room, removing a load-bearing wall in the process, and then repurposing our old kitchen as our casual diner/snug. At one time or another, every one of the Elite Kitchens team worked on the project and each demonstrated consistent professionalism and an amazing attention to detail. There were hiccups, as you would expect on a project of this size, which were fully explained and options discussed and speedily implemented to our complete satisfaction. The team also provided welcome advice to improve aspects of the layout and every effort was made to minimise disruption despite the kitchen being the heart home. We are delighted with our new kitchen and diner and would not hesitate to recommend Elite Kitchen Installations.”
— Steve Thompson

“From our very first meeting with Jay we knew he and his team at Elite were the right company for our project.
Throughout the process they have been on hand to support, provide advice and ideas on how to transform our kitchen space into a brand new extended kitchen area.
Jay and his team offered a first class professional experience from design, build and installation with all aspects being completed on time. Throughout our project they have been punctual, respectful and easy to get on with making us know our choice on who to take on our project was the right choice.
We would like to thank all of Jay’s team for every aspect of our project including the foundations, brickwork, roofing, carpentry, plastering, flooring, windows & doors, electrics, gas and kitchen installation. During the project any changes or extra work needed was never an issue and all the Elite team were more than happy to do this for us.
A special mention goes to Geoff, who is a first class builder, Paul for the 1st fix work which was neat tidy and precise and Matt whose attention to detail in installing our kitchen has created the well designed, sociable, functional kitchen area we wanted to transform our home and they have exceeded our expectations.
We would highly recommend Elite Kitchens Installations as a company who offer a first class service and won’t let you down.”
— Dean Spurdens
“Thank you so much to Jay and his team, who professionally and promptly transformed our kitchen. The guys managed to remove an old, battered worktop without damaging any of the walls or tiles above, then installed a new worktop. In addition, they fitted an updated cooker hood, cooker, sink and tap to modernise the whole look and feel of our kitchen.
Start to finish the job was done in a couple of days, which was mightily impressive. The guys were always on time, never left early, were polite and most importantly - extremely clean and tidy.
Jay even did a massive favour and changed a light switch which had been bugging me in another unrelated room, which he didn't need to do and I was super grateful for.
I cannot recommend these chaps enough, 6/5.”
— Matt Neal
“Jay helped me out when I was stuggling to sort out my kitchen. He took the time to review what I wanted and made recommendations which would work better for the space. When I brought the wrong sized sink, he went above and beyond to fix it for me to get the finished result. Jay & his team were quick, efficient and really helpful the whole way through- I couldn’t love what they’ve achieved anymore! Thank you!”
— Amber Balcombe

Very happy with our kitchen and we have Jay and his team to thank for it.”

— Mick Millins
“We are thrilled with our new Wren kitchen installed by Jay and his team at Elite Kitchens. All are professional, friendly, and approachable. The communication was exemplary and we were told the daily plan which gave us confidence from day one. If (like us) you’re reconfiguring the layout, I’d strongly bear in mind that Jay is able to do all of the plumbing/electrics/gas. This completely removed the headache of coordinating different trades and saved us from stress or delays.
Jay really listens, and provided advice if we had questions or changes. We decided very last minute that we needed extra heating and he provided options we wouldn’t have thought of, and installed them despite it inconveniencing his timeline. The finish is outstanding with the smallest details considered. It really pays to choose someone with so many years of experience and a proven track record. We would highly recommend Elite Kitchens.”
— Ben Marshall
“This is the second time we have had Jay and his team install a kitchen. His professional and honest approach is a breath of fresh air, and Jay’s attention to detail is second to none, we could not have been in safer hands during the installation process. Jay’s experience and expertise insured that any uncertainty we had over a decision would ultimately be steered in the right direction, even if this meant more work for Jay and his team. We would not hesitate in recommending Jay and Elite Kitchen installations to anybody planning a new kitchen, and using him again in the future.”
— Phil Potts
“Darren, from Jays team were absolutely outstanding through the whole duration of my mums kitchen installation. On time, very hard working and extremely high standards. From start to finish, communication was kept throughout this whole process. I would 100% recommend Jay and his team.”

You get high quality work standard efficiency and most important of all honesty.”
— Salvatore De Francisci
“We purchased the kitchen from Wren but chose Elite rather than Wren's in-house fitters. Jay and his team did an excellent job from initial quote through to completion of the work. We were kept informed of what jobs were being done each day and everything was explained clearly which really helped us to have confidence in the process. We feel that we made the right choice and thoroughly recommend Elite. An extra thank you goes to Matt ... an absolute superstar!”
— Catherine Willetts

“I would to take this opportunity to thanks Elite Kitchen Installations for their reliable and professional service whilst renovating our kitchen and dining room during a very busy time for my family.
The meticulous attention to detail whilst renovating our kitchen and dining room was second to none. I highly recommend Elite Kitchen Installations for their skilled craftsmanship and friendly approach. They kept me informed prior to every key stage of the renovation, this enabled me to have total confidence in their ability to deliver a high standard. Despite my own high standards, my expectations were exceeded as they seamlessly managed the entire process of remodelling everything from our existing gas and electric services to suit the configuration of our new kitchen, right through to replastering, tiling and finished flooring. Thanks again and keep up the great work.”
— Dean Bartley

Highly recommend and could not fault them at all! Please contact them. You will not be disappointed! Great work guys!”
— Verdia Garrick
“Exceptional quality finish. They really care about getting it right. Great communication. Fab organisation across multiple trades which meant disruption was minimised well. Did our kitchen then we asked them back to our utility. Again thrilled with the finish. Recommended to neighbours and friends. They recently did our neighbours kitchen in a listed cottage. A stunning quality finish in a quirky and challenging space. Lovely guys. Very personable. Very easy to have around.”
— Gillian Herring
“Jay and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Very professional, friendly and tidy, they completed the work on time and within the estimate provided. Standard of the finish was excellent. Highly recommend.”

“Jay and his team were fantastic. We had a complete kitchen renovation including the removal of walls and the partitioning of rooms as well as new flooring. Jay was incredibly professional throughout the project and his standard of workmanship is fantastic. I would recommend Jay without hesitation.”
— Felicity Stuart
“We are very happy to recommend Jay and his team to anybody that is considering working with Elite Kitchens. Our project was a complete renovation of our kitchen/dining/family room and also included knocking through into our garage and installing a utility area. Jay was on site for the full 7 weeks and is genuinely the most customer focussed tradesperson we’ve ever dealt with. He pays attention to the most minute deal which ultimately results in a high quality finish at the end of the project. We were consulted throughout every step of the project and Jay was incredibly accommodating and fair when we requested changes to the original project scope. We had absolutely no issues having Jay, his team and the additional tradespeople that he sourced for us in our house and we’re very happy with the quality of their work. In short, if you’re willing to be open and honest with Jay before & during your project, you’ve no reason to look elsewhere.”
— Mark Boston
“SUPERB, we cannot say how delighted we are with Elite Kitchens. We had our kitchen and utility room totally refurbished along with flooring through out most of our downstairs. From start to finished Jay and his whole team were just amazing from Doug who measured our kitchen to Matt our fitter who has the skill set to do all the jobs required and nothing was too much trouble, we also like that we were consulted through the whole process. The plasters were fantastic, and the painters were just spot on. I would highly recommend Elite kitchens to anyone. Everyone that worked on our house was 100% trustworthy, everyone went that extra mile to help and everyone absolutely loves their job and working with Jay which made a very stressful time (no kitchen) a much more pleasant experience and we are absolutely delighted with the kitchen and workmanship. THANK YOU to every last member of the team.”
— Louise Bradley
“We cannot recommend Elite Kitchens and Jay Hunt enough. Jay and his team were incredibly professional throughout, they were punctual, reliable, hard working and tidied everyday.
Jay’s experienced advice and his willingness to project manage our build was invaluable when decisions were required during our installation. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are second to none.
We not only had a new kitchen installed but our originally separate kitchen and dining room were knocked through to make a kitchen/diner and the kitchen partitioned to include a utility room. Jay was able to provide all the tradesman for this task and tackled what was, at times, a challenging build with enormous care and attention. We genuinely could not be happier with the end result.
It has revolutionised our family life, thank you Jay.”

“Elite Kitchens are tremendous - seriously smooth operators in a market where most people only have horror stories to share about kitchen renovations and installations.
Nothing could be further from the truth of our experience with Elite Kitchens. From start to finish they were communicative, helpful, responsive and on time! Jay was our main point of contact and he was always in regular touch with us about every point. He worked within out budget and was precise and honest about costs and time frames. Jay's contractors were all really talented, hard working and pleasant guys to have around.
I cannot recommend Elite Kitchens highly enough.
I love our new kitchen!”
— Faith, Tony and Davey
“We’re very pleased to say our new kitchen/diner/living area has just been completed by Elite Kitchen Installations and we couldn’t be more elated with the fabulous job the Team have made.Their craftsmanship and methodical attention to detail has been second to none and nothing has ever been too much trouble for the Team, always going that extra mile to achieve perfection. We’ve been particularly impressed with their professional approach, politeness and punctuality every day and their tidiness and due care. My wife and I also really appreciated all the invaluable professional advice and assistance the Elite Kitchen Installations Team have given us in all aspects involved with the frequent decisions we’ve had to make in our kitchen installation.
Our project involved much more than just fitting a new kitchen. We wanted an outside wall knocked down, a kitchen window and patio doors removed. This required a builder to do the job, plus then re-plastering to make good the remaining walls and ceiling, in order to create a new kitchen/living/dining area. We had an under stairs cupboard boarded in, a light installed inside and a new cupboard door in the lounge created. Central heating pipes were also diverted, two tall radiators and a plinth heater installed, new kitchen ceiling lights fitted and other ceiling lights changed to match, as well as lights under the kitchen cabinets and under shelf lighting. The water pipes under the sink were tidied up, mains electrics diverted and updated, new tiling, new flooring laid with skirting boards and then all completely redecorated. The Elite Kitchen Installations Team were able to comprehensively carry out and project manage all these trades, which allowed the job to run seamlessly and very smoothly.
We cannot praise Elite Kitchen Installations highly enough and would like to say a huge “thank you” to all the Team for a great job, very well done! We’re extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend them to family and friends and in fact, we’ve just asked them to quote for our new bathroom!”
— Pauline & Geoff
“Elite Kitchens definitely. Jay Hunt Wow! We were after a kitchen fitter knowing no one in a new area. What we got was a project manager par excellence. Not only a kitchen fit we have replaced the heating system. Taken down a wall. Replastered throughout. Moved redundant obtrusive piping and replaced flooring. All done with the considerable assistance of Jay and his team. He listens. Advises and then delivers.
Jay and his team arrived promptly and on time each and every day. They were unfailingly polite. Displayed a good sense of humour and above all were dog friendly Mitch is missing them!!!!!!! Tidy and very much paying attention to detail, the whole works went without a hitch. Minimal disruption ensued.
All in all a praiseworthy job. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Jay and the Elite kitchens team again. Bathroom next Jay.”
— John Small
"A total joy and pleasure to have Jay working in our home. Nothing was ever to much trouble. Working environment was always left clean and tidy. Would never use any other trades person again. The whole experience was truly unimaginable. Well done Jay, excellent work."
— Richard and Kathy Howes
"Excellent experience and would definitely recommend Jay and team to family and friends. Big thank you for all your effort and flexibilities."
— Sarah Fry
"We decided to have Jay fit our kitchen which involved moving our boiler April this year. I could honestly say that we could not find one bad criticism about Jay and the way in which our project was managed and conducted. A true honest guy and a brilliant craftsmen."
— Adam and Michelle Gent
"At the beginning of the year my wife and I planned a new kitchen and both utility rooms to replace the old ones that were fitted over twenty years ago. The plans were somewhat complicated as we wanted full height cupboards (to the ceiling) and some corner cupboards to be built from scratch together with a new archway between two of the rooms. We also wanted all new appliances as well as new floor and wall tiles. All in all, a comprehensive rebuild.
Jay Hunt fitted the new kitchen and utility rooms for us during June and July 2012. His work is of the highest standard, with great care taken in all aspects, and we were especially pleased with the "one off" cupboards and innovations that Jay introduced. The completed work on our new kitchen and utility is superb.
Having workmen in the house is never enjoyable, but Jay made this as easy for us as possible by ensuring minimal disruption to water and electric supplies (Jay is a qualified electrician which kept the cost down) and always making certain we had cooking facilities at the end of each day. Jay's hard work and reliability are to be commended. He worked non-stop all day and never left without clearing up.
We would not hesitate to recommend Jay and would be happy if people wanted to contact us if they required any further information."
— John and Wendy Williams
"We had the pleasure of working with Jay Hunt as the installer of our kitchen, and can recommend him highly and without reservation. Throughout the course of the job, Jay was a consummate professional. He chose and managed his small team well and ensured that all work was carried out with care and precision. As well as producing quality work, Jay and his small team went out of their way to make the process as painless as possible for us. They were unfailingly polite, helpful and pleasant to deal with. They maintained a very clean and tidy workplace; never leaving the worksite in disarray, and taking special care to prevent any of the job dust from trailing throughout the house.
He is a gifted woodcrafter but also a great communicator, who ensured that the necessary custom alterations required to the cabinets to ensure that the theoretical design given to him could be practically installed were each agreed with us prior to the work being beautifully executed. We were also particularly grateful for his expertise as a fully qualified electrician and plumber as it helped alleviate many of the problems we would otherwise have encountered linking into the services installed by our other contractors involved in the complete remodelling of our home.
We are so pleased that Jay Hunt installed our kitchen, and would not hesitate to recommend him. His methodical approach, clear explanations, positive problem solving and attention to detail have ensured we have a fantastic kitchen. In fact, we are so delighted with the outcome of his work that we would be happy to answer any questions from prospective customers."
— Paul and Tracey Fryer
"Just had our kitchen and utility room completely refurbished by Jay and Matt from start to finish. Cannot speak highly enough of the professional job they done and how pleased me and Angie were with there workmanship. Also nothing was to much trouble and they went out of there way to accomplish what ever we asked. Would recommend Elite kitchens to my friends and family without hesitation."
— Chris Nol
"Absolutely delighted to recommended Elite Kitchen Installations! Jay and his whole team were fab! We actually had Matt as our fitter and we cannot fault him. Nothing was too much trouble and he really can turn his hand to anything plus he works like a Trojan! Hardly stopped in all the time he was here and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of every day! In fact everyone worked so hard and were really nice guys too! Kitchen looks amazing, I waited a very long time to get it!! Thank you all!"
— Sue Coleman
"We have just completed our kitchen installation, Jay Hunt and his team were amazing! We are absolutely delighted with our kitchen. However, much a kitchen costs, the fitter is the vital cog in the whole process. The standard of workmanship is superb; the team were professional, tidy, and respectful of being in our home and were able to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. We also had a new central heating system installed and a water softener, it was great that Jay was able to do both of these and we didn’t need to source anyone else."
— Verified review on CheckaTrade
"Jay is all about doing things right. The way he engages with his team portrays that nothing less than perfect will suffice. One year ago, we had a complete kitchen replacement and partial bathroom refit – both jobs have been spot on. We have had some minor niggles (as you do over a year) but Jay has sorted them promptly and without reoccurrence. I cannot recommend the team at Elite Kitchens enough. In fact, they installed my folk’s kitchen too, also with high satisfaction."
