ABOUT US Welcome to our website, my name is Robert Tewkesbury, I am the proprietor of Tewkesbury Kitchens, my company was established in Crawley, West Sussex in 1993, since then we have installed over 1500 kitchens, bedrooms and studies from small inexpensive projects to high quality large semi bespoke commissions. We have gained a reputation for innovative design, high standards of workmanship and overall excellence of service. Our service is based on attention to detail, listening to our customers needs and most importantly that the project is on time and on budget, all this can only be carried out by a company with true dedicated professionals. There is a saying in the design and construction industry, ¨You are only as good as your last job¨ this means that a company can have an outstanding reputation but it could be ruined by one mistake, that is why being a perfectionist, I make sure personally that every detail is followed, that you the customer is consulted, and kept informed at all stages of the project and that if in the very unlikely event of a problem occurring, it is dealt with immediately and without fuss, this is very important to me as my customers must be nothing short of delighted with the finished article. All this may sound expensive, it is not, a professionally designed project will save you money because absolutely all aspects of the job will be covered leaving no nasty surprises. We buy direct from the manufacturer, this means the cost of a quality product to us is much lower. Instead of a showroom, sample products are bought to you to view in the natural light of your home and with my assistance and the use of computer aided design, it is easy to visualize your perfect living and working environment, this means that our operating costs are low which in turn means you pay less. Its simple, quality product professionally designed and installed that costs less. PRODUCT We are dealers for The Ultimate Collection, Second Nature and The Classic Collection, you may have heard of the first two, they are premier collections that regularly feature in high profile glossy magazines, national press, and major exhibitions. The Classic Collection features more main stream styles and is priced to suit a lower budget. Our kitchens, bedrooms,
studies, accessories and worksurfaces represent some of the highest
quality available on the market today, for the same price as you
would pay for standard furniture from a high street retailer.
DESIGN Before you meet with our designer, you would have probably built up a wish list of items you would like to see in your new fitted furniture project, the list would probably include your preferred furniture style, i.e. contempory or traditional, type of worksurface, storage requirements, appliances and maybe an idea of general layout. All this is important as it will form the foundation, it is then the designers responsibility to discuss possibilities and ideas with you, what is practical and affordable within your budget, and then take your ideas to the next level. Design in todays market is changing, boundaries are being pushed, general rules are slowly fading away, new exciting products are appearing every day, we take an active approach and research new products and design ethics, we feel this is essential to maintain our level of service. Much emphasis is put on CAD systems ( computer aided design ), we take the view that it is a tool, a useful aid to the design process, a way of showing our ideas to you in a realistic format, but it never leads our design. DELIVERY Our aim is to deliver your kitchen, bedroom or study 100% complete, without damage and on time. A great deal of research has been done by us to find suppliers that will not let us down, this is important as when we agree a start date for your project, the materials must arrive on time and undamaged, this is actually not a difficult thing to achieve. Delivery availability for The Ultimate Collection is 3 Weeks, it is 7 days for Second Nature and Classic units and accessories, appliances are delivered twice weekly, installation dates are usually agreed for the week after delivery. INSTALLATION No matter how good the product is or how good the design is, if a fitted furniture project is not installed correctly it will either look shoddy, start to fall apart, present a safety risk or all of the above, that is why we maintain high levels of workmanship at all times. Joinery is a trade that takes many years to learn, you will be able to see the skill of the installer from the finish of the work, most able people can assemble and install basic furniture to a reasonable level, but when it comes to something as important as your kitchen, bedroom or study, it is best left to a professional who will complete the job swiftly and expertly. After all it is easier to do the job right in the first place rather than go back and do it again. Fitted furniture installation requires many skills, many of which must meet with today's legal requirements, electrical, gas and plumbing are the three main areas to be addressed, you will probably not see much of the work associated with these trades once your project is complete, but if not installed and tested correctly can represent a major safety risk. Tewkesbury Kitchens is a CORGI registered company, this means we have been legally deemed competent to carry out gas installations proficiently and safely, click here for more information www.corgi-gas-safety.com We hold electrical qualifications and are currently under going registration to meet new requirements coming into force in 2005. We are highly proficient in all aspects of furniture installation. Along with furniture installation, we will carry out any small building alterations you require to accommodate your new project, this can include knocking down walls, plastering, moving boilers, tilling and decorating, all of this can be done in a relatively short space of time and synchronized with the furniture installation to minimize inconvenience. If you purchase a complete package from us or would like us to install furniture you have bought elsewhere, you will do so safe in the knowledge that it will be fitted to the highest level of workmanship and backed up by safety certificates and warranty. TESTIMONIALS We carry out a large number of projects directly from recommendation, and many clients are kind enough to allow us to take customers to their home for viewing, our portfolio section contains a small number of projects designed, supplied and installed by us, we have selected small, medium and large examples to give you an idea of the broad spectrum of work we carry out, please take a look. OUR PROMISE TO YOU We only have quality furniture, we don’t believe in ´cheap´ but what we do believe in is value for money, our promise to you is good quality at a fair price with no silly sales or hard sell tactics.
