Testimonials
What our customers say
Everyone is pleased on completion day. The question worth asking: what do they say five years later?
Over fifty homes across Berkshire and north Hampshire have left us a review since 2010. At least seventeen have had us back for additional work (we weren’t counting ’till we wrote this page…).
We are also listed on FreeIndex. Every quote on this page comes from a review we hold on file in full. Quotes may be shortened.
They ask us back
A kitchen looks its best the week it goes in; what matters is the state of it a decade later, and whether the person who fitted it is still someone you would phone.
“We were fortunate to be recommended Redwood Kitchens in 2010… we were so impressed with the result that we asked him to fit wardrobes, bathroom cabinets and hall cupboard. Ten years on, our kitchen, and all his work, still looks beautiful, and works extremely well too.”
L Robins
Crowthorne · Checkatrade, 2020
“We were glad to ask Colin back to work on our kitchen that he put in over 15 years ago. As then, we were given good advice, the work was completed with care and to a high standard, and we are very pleased with the result.”

“Redwood have been brilliant and installed a high quality kitchen in my home that continues to shine after 5 years of use. Colin has a great attention to detail and aftercare has also been excellent.”

“I’ve used Redwood Kitchens for many years and the advice and work has always been excellent. On occasions where I have needed urgent maintenance the response and service has been fast and effective.”

Built in 2021, still doing its job. The best evidence that custom furniture was built properly is nobody has had to call us back — and the second best is the client that calls us anyway, for the next project.
Working out what you actually want
Most people arrive with a rough idea and a room that doesn’t quite work. The first job is turning that into a plan they are still happy with once it is built.
“We had an initial sketch design and Colin worked with us to develop the design providing some very helpful challenges and different ideas to us which we were happy to take on board… While the design process was quite lengthy, we were very happy with the process and the opportunity to reflect and refine the plans.”
D Gillham
Binfield · The Directory of Excellence, 2024
“Colin was very patient and helpful in guiding us to choose new products and materials to update our extremely old kitchen, and also in tweaking our previous design to make the space even more user-friendly.”
E Lee

“Listens carefully to the client and provides knowledgeable and honest feedback with options and justifications.”

A listed home in Binfield, a reed-green shaker kitchen, and an Aga cooker the client didn’t know that they didn’t want…

Not every kitchen needs replacing
Two thirds of the reviews on this page are for upgrades rather than complete kitchens — worktops, doors, a tap, a hob, a utility room put right.
“Colin replaced our kitchen worktop and sink… Family commented on how much nicer it looks than before. As we chose a lighter coloured [quartz] worktop, the kitchen is much brighter.”
M Wyatt
Wokingham · The Directory of Excellence, 2026
“When our Neff gas hob of 20+ years’ service failed… [it] took less than a morning’s work by Colin and Paul [the gas engineer], including correction of the original (non-compliant) electrical connection.”
P Barnett
Wokingham · The Directory of Excellence, 2026
“Colin was very knowledgeable and had some great ideas. Really polite and very clean. Workmanship excellent, and great finish. We love our updated kitchen.”
R Whittaker
Reading · Checkatrade, 2023
“The worktop was scratched and old-fashioned. Colin quoted to replace the worktop, remove the old tiles and replace with an upstand, and replace the tap. The workmanship was excellent and Colin offered many suggestions such as moving the cupboards around to make a more efficient layout… I would definitely recommend Redwood Kitchens.”
S Miller
Wokingham · Checkatrade, 2024
“Colin was like a breath of fresh air after a complete disaster with my insurance company, who left my kitchen floor ripped out to concrete [following a flood] for over a year!… his ideas were spot on and I have had him back for additional work.”
S Kiff
Bracknell · Checkatrade, 2018
“[Redwood] rejigged our kitchen a few years ago, so it now goes around 3 walls instead of 2, still so pleased 🙂.”

When the old kitchen comes out
Every renovation turns something up. What matters is what happens next.
“Colin and the team went way beyond my expectations, including coping with several issues revealed when the old kitchen was removed. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with care and attention. I love my new blue kitchen as does everyone who visits.”
L Hurdwell
Bracknell · Checkatrade, 2023
“Overall we are left with a great Kitchen and a much improved home life thanks to Redwood kitchens. When I share our experience with others it makes me feel like we definitely chose the right company. Good service, good products, good price, no nonsense.”
T Dewis

“He was completely professional throughout and respected my situation… I was able leave matters in Colin’s hands and he took care of things for me, I trusted him. His advice throughout the process was really valuable in ensuring the installation was going to work for me.”

Long after the invoice
Service and support — nobody asks until they need it.
“Fitted our kitchen late 2023, and still looks as installed. Redwood has subsequently returned to attend to a couple of minor issues promptly, courteously and without charge. Excellent installation and post sales service.”
A Morgan
Finchampstead · Google, 2026
“Five minutes after the email was sent Colin called us… Fifteen minutes later Colin arrived, a glass of cold water and an hour later all fixed. Great service, only a minor issue but brilliant response.”
K Gunston

“Colin from Redwood Kitchens is a trusted tradesman for us, and he has delivered many successful kitchen install and repair projects.”

How it’s built
What you stop noticing after a month, and would notice every day if it were wrong.
“Colin’s meticulous approach won’t be for those who just want to ‘throw something together’. But if you want quality workmanship, solid professional advice and integrity to boot, then Colin is your man and Redwood is your kitchen company.”
P Loverdos
Finchampstead · Google, 2020
“Couldn’t have been more helpful and flexible. No fuss and I had complete peace of mind as his standard of work was as though he was working in his own house! All this with great communication at a very fair cost.”
F Jeffery
Camberley · Checkatrade, 2023
“We are extremely happy with our new kitchen… Extremely professional and the attention to detail was second to none.”

Reviews that made us blush…
Some of what people write is more generous than we know what to do with.
“I highly recommend Colin, as he took every consideration to create a kitchen that I would love and listened carefully to my likes and requirements… Immense thanks and gratitude for improving my home and quality of life.”
L Sujeewon

“We have never before experienced such meticulous craftsmanship. His attention to detail was amazing… a kitchen that has transformed our house and is a real pleasure to use.”
E Fletcher
Wokingham · FreeIndex, 2011
“Colin is an amazing carpenter and workman. His kitchen install skills are second to none. Attention to detail and a knowledge of plumbing and electrics all help to ensure a smooth fit.”
