Testimonials

When we bought a house that needed every room renovating, with Oldfield Bathrooms & Kitchens not only did we get expert and professional work but we also gained a sound advisor and a complete project manager in Richard. The finished house is everything we hoped for, completed to a high specification and to an agreed budget and we can fully endorse them to anyone who contacts us.

Richard Oldfield has fitted two bathrooms in two properties for us and on both occasions the work has been brilliant. Richard is a talented designer as well as a fitter and so he will suggest the best use of any space and advise on every little detail. In our current bathroom Richard went beyond ‘the extra mile’ to fit the bathroom in between other jobs because we were in a mess at home. He communicates really well and so you always know where you are up to. A special mention must be made to his team. Firstly his wife Sam who does a lot of graft behind the scenes (and in the showroom) and to Andy the joiner who works alongside him. Also, Richard has a close team of other professionals who are brilliant at their respective trades. All in Richard has worked extremely hard to establish his reputation and just like the other reviews he thoroughly deserves all the work that comes his way. Not much else to say except he comes with the highest recommendation and I would never use anyone else.

We recently decided to have a new bathroom fitted and started the long and somewhat arduous task of trying to find a suitable company to undertake the work. With so many companies offering design and installation services it was difficult to know where to begin. Several companies were contacted – some came then couldn’t be bothered to quote, others didn’t understand our needs or budget, whilst the remainder didn’t turn up at all. Just as we were becoming a little frustrated with the whole process we were lucky enough to meet Richard. From the very first meeting we knew instinctively he was the man for the job. He listened in detail to what we wanted and took note of our budget. He then went away and came back with an outline design. A couple more meetings later and we had everything agreed. The meetings were held at our convenience and gave us the opportunity to get to know Richard as a trustworthy individual, something we felt very important. The quotation he provided for the work was clearly set out and itemised in detail so there were no hidden charges. At each stage Richard and his team were punctual, polite and very professional in their attitude. A pleasure to deal with. The installation went extremely smoothly and the end result was superb – better than expected, and on budget. The overall attention to detail and workmanship is excellent, and nothing is too much trouble for the team. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Oldfield Bathrooms & Kitchens and will definitely be using their services again.

Just a note to say a big thank-you and let you know how totally thrilled we are with our (almost) new house! From start to finish your professionalism, helpfulness & hard work has constantly impressed us & we LOVE the finished result.

Thanks again, you’ve been complete stars! Just completed kitchen knock-through, new kitchen, built new utility room from top end of garage area, full house re-wire, new boiler installation & new bathroom (almost new house!)

I write to tell you how pleased we are with the kitchen which you have recently installed. We have already recommended your services (which also include plumbing & tiling) to interested parties and have allowed them to inspect your workmanship.

We chose Oldfields to install both our Bathroom and Kitchen. They didn’t disappoint providing a comprehensive up front design service, a polite & tidy team with exceptional quality & attention to detail. We live in a Victorian property which we quickly discovered was hiding a few unexpected surprises. We had already had a few quotes before Richard came round and he instantly picked up on details missed by the others. We had several further meetings before Richard provided us with a quote and design we could be highly confident in. Throughout the installation Richard and his team were always considerate and polite to us and our neighbours, always leaving everything as tidy as clean as possible. The finished result is everything we hoped for and exceeded all our expectations. The quality of Richards work is exceptional, his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile has made all the difference. We would not hesitate in using Oldfields again and could not recommend them more strongly.

We had decided we needed a new kitchen. Our specification was simple; we wanted a modern, functional kitchen with plenty of storage space, clean lines, and no clutter. We also wanted the job doing well, by skilled competent and conscientious craftsmen, and we wanted the job to be done quickly within an agreed timescale, and an agreed budget. We had know of Oldfield Bathrooms & Kitchens for some time, and friends of ours had used their services, and they told us that they were impressed with the work carried out. So we contacted the firm and arranged an initial meeting. Richard Oldfield met us at our home at a time that was convenient for us. He listened to what we wanted, made sure he understood our requirements, and within a few days provided a comprehensive and detailed estimate with a schedule of work and costs. We were happy with the estimate and agreed a date for the work to be done. Richard arrived on the agreed date and time and began work. He oversaw and managed the whole project from start to finish. Plumbers, electricians, gas engineers, plasterers, all arrived at the right time, did the work and left. The Oldfield team were always courteous, polite, tidy and very hard-working. Within the agreed timescale, our new kitchen was finished, to the agreed specification and to the agreed price. We think the real skill in these matters is the ability to do what you promise, and to do it well. Richard and his team did an excellent job for us, they delivered on time and on budget. They are skilled, competent and conscientious. We are very happy to recommend Oldfield Bathrooms & Kitchens to anyone who is looking for high quality workmanship at competitive prices.

We first approached Richard to quote for a job in August 2006 and this is the third time he’s carried out work for us. Richard’s approach to working with the customer, by putting forward new ideas and discussing alternatives really helped us to develop the project from design through to final installation. Richard has a genuine pride in his work and he’s keen to ensure that the customer is involved in the project at all stages. Richard is a good communicator who takes time to explain what the job will involve; he also identifies any snags and problems that arise and suggests ‘work arounds’. We have absolute confidence in Richard’s skills and have therefore recommended him to friends and family who have also asked him to carry out work in their homes. Richard and the team understand customer service and they’ve delivered a quality job. We’ve no hesitation in recommending Richard and endorsing the quality of his work.

We had planned our bathroom before meeting up with Richard. He then very kindly but firmly advised me what wouldn’t work, what wasn’t needed, and where improvements could be made. I had such confidence in Richard that, contrary to my normal mindset, I went ” with it” and bowed to his knowledge and experience. Richard and Andy work well together, were considerate to us and our property and are very clean workers….we couldn’t believe how little mess there was. Richard is a craftsman who knows his job inside out. Richard’s colleagues, window man, tiler and electrician all came as planned… were very professional, very clean and very good at their jobs. Clearly a broad well matched team that communicate well, all working to the same exacting standards and all very helpful and supportive to the client . Our bathroom is wonderful, we are surprised as to how much bigger it looks now… it has truly exceeded our expectations and we have no hesitation in recommending Richard.

We are very pleased with our new kitchen. We appreciated the preliminary discussions on possible layouts. The work was done professionally and with great care, keeping us informed of the progress and it was finished to a very high standard.
