Testimonials


Dear David and team

We were so lucky to have found you.

 We cannot imagine a more beautifully built kitchen. The whole process was painless because you are professionals, at the top of your game.

 We knew from the moment we entered your showroom that we had found the kitchen for us. 

Thank you all so very much.

Dear David
Please see attached payment for the fitted wardrobes which look fantastic. We'd also like to say thank you to all concerned at Ladbury's for helping to create our kitchen, which is the envy of our friends and neighbours. The service you provided, delivered in a friendly but professional manner by every single member of your company seems to be a rare commodity these days. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone in the future.
Thanks again.

Dear Mr Ladbury
I would like to say a big thank you for the design and installation of our new kitchen. We feel our decision to ask John Ladbury and Co to undertake the work was one of the best we have made. Over a period of three to four weeks Ian spent so much time with us, helping us to decide what we actually wanted and how it would look when it was completed. Ian's expertise in the products you sell and his knowledge he has in kitchen design and installation is second to none. With reference to the installation we feel we struck gold with Mark; he was excellent and did a magnificent job. One of his comments to me was, 'Steve all we want is for you and Mary to be happy with your new kitchen.' As a customer it was so refreshing and exactly what we wanted to hear. He would arrive on time every day; nothing was too much trouble and at the end of the day everything was left clean and tidy. We felt completely comfortable with him in our home and couldn't recommend him highly enough.

The whole team were so conscientious and worked hard to give us the kitchen we wanted, and when it was all finished it was nice that Stephen Ladbury took the time to come and have a look at the end result. Once again thank you very much, Mary and myself are so pleased with the end result.
Best regards Steve and Mary Tilley.

Dear Amanda and team
We are very grateful to you for making our dream kitchen come true. Your brochure and website were the deciding factors in choosing your company- we looked at the pictures in the gallery and read about your 'no pressure' policy. This turned out to be true, and the fact that Amanda has the patience of a saint when it comes to choosing colours was an added bonus! Our new kitchen is everything we hoped for and more. We especially like the larder units, the spice racks, the Westin cooker hood, the splash back behind the cooker and the knowledge that the solid wood cupboards and drawers will last for the rest of our time in the house. Thank you also for delivering on time. we needed the kitchen finished in time for Boxing day lunch for the extended family, and the timetable which was promised was adhered to exactly.
We will be recommending you and wish you every success
Kind Regards.

Thank you and the whole team at John Ladbury for the excellent work you have done for us. We are so pleased with the beautiful bedroom wardrobes, the housekeepers' cupboards and deep drawer units, complete with linen press. The units and free standing kitchen dresser and bookshelf lined study are stunning and I virtually live in there now because it is so cosy. You have a great gift for interpreting the garbled wishes of someone who knows what they want but has some difficulty in describing it. All the pieces seem exactly right; easy on the eye and well proportioned without appearing heavy.  All aspects of your operation ran like clockwork, finishing up with a first class installation. You must all take great satisfaction from your work and I can envisage everything you have built in our house lasting for generations to come.  We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone and would like to thank you all once again.

Dear David
Just a note to say a huge thank you for our beautiful kitchen. Whilst we appreciate that it was not an easy project for all concerned in view of the fact we lived overseas, you managed to pull out all the stops to make our dream kitchen. We are delighted with the end result and thank goodness you managed to steer us in the right direction on many of the choices, which we now realise we would have regretted. Thank you so much for your professionalism, patience and ideas.

Dear David
Now that our kitchen is completed, Paula and I would just like to confirm to you how pleased we are with the whole experience. The finished kitchen looks great and is exactly how we hope the job would turn out. We would like to complement all of your staff who built and installed both the units and associated appliances/services. Alan organised the whole installation extremely efficiently and with Pete, obviously knew exactly what they were doing throughout the whole project. When the painting /decorating phase commenced, from day one , we were amazed at the patience and attention to detail shown by Mark. All the guys contributed in the provision of the best type of advertisement for John Ladbury & Co.
Thank you very much.

We have just had our new kitchen fitted by John Ladbury and Company and are absolutely thrilled with it. From beginning to end David and his team were exceptionally helpful. It was totally stress free and the quality of the workmanship is of the highest standard. Everything we wanted has been included in the design along with the items that they suggested which are perfect.

We'd like to thank you for all the hard work and dedication you and your team showed in the installation of our new kitchen.     Unlike some of the other contractors on the project, your guys took ownership of any issues, didn’t make a fuss, and found a solution.

Please pass on our thanks to the guys who worked so hard, and put in long hours, before Christmas to get a superb job done and if you ever need a local reference site – please do not hesitate to contact myself or Natalie. We would be delighted to speak to any prospective client to tell them how delighted we are with the service and the finished kitchen.

Wishing you a healthy, prosperous 2016.

Dear David
I have to let you know what a stunning investment our John Ladbury kitchen has been, After ten years of constant use (and misuse!) from our busy family our bespoke, hand painted kitchen has really shown it's value. The cabinets have recently been re-painted in a more contemporary colour and it feels like a brand new kitchen! I've fallen in love with it all over again!!

Hi David,
When Rachel and I visited your showroom (just a nice place to be) we knew we'd found the right company and people to buy our kitchen from. The quality & style stood out from anything we'd seen before and we soon started talking furniture rather than kitchen units. We did end up spending more than we budgeted but I believe in value for money.
Everyone who has seen our kitchen has been impressed and we readily give them the name of John Ladbury.

This kitchen looks amazing - our friends think it should be a magazine show kitchen. Please can you pass on my sincere thanks to Alan,Russ and Ian - they have all worked exceptionally hard and done a fantastic job. We couldn't be happier with the final result, it has far exceeded out expectations. We are grateful for all your help, from designing, to expediating our fitting in the timescales and being so flexible in the final days to get it complete before the 1st July deadline. We look forward to showing you around our beautiful kitchen.

Wonderful family firm who wanted us to be happy with our kitchen and spent plenty of time achieving this. Excellent service and would thoroughly recommend them.

Mr and Mrs J Page

David is  very knowledgeable, patient, helpful and was accommodating throughout the whole process. Thank you.

Mrs Salvo

We are very happy with our brand new kitchen. The initial design was a great starting point and John Ladbury were patient with us when we were indecisive on several things. The installers were excellent as was the painter. We are so pleased with John Ladbury and will definitely use them for other projects.

Deborah Spring

We were replacing a kitchen installed by John Ladbury over twenty years ago and wanted to use them again as we were very happy with the first kitchen they installed. David was efficient and ensured work was kept to schedule, liaising often with our builder. The installation team were pleasant and polite and the work has been completed to a high standard and on time. We are pleased that the work had the same traditional qualities as the old one supplied 20 years and with welcome updates. We highly recommend John Ladbury Kitchens.

Jo Cowan

After searching through many interiors magazines I came across the style of kitchen I wanted and after plans were drawn I went back to John Ladbury kitchens who had made a kitchen and a range of bespoke furniture for me over twenty years ago. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Dave, Steve and all the team went above and beyond to ensure I had the kitchen and banquette seating I had my heart set on and I couldn't be happier. if you are looking for a bespoke kitchen or furniture for anywhere else in your home then I highly recommend John Ladbury who go above and beyond to create fabulous furniture

Deborah Saffer

John Ladbury provided an excellent service from start to finish! Cannot fault anything - the kitchen is beautiful and expertly made and fitted - it looks like it should be in a showroom not my house. The after sales service has been second to none, a few little teething problems but craftsmen were on site within days of pointing them out to fix them. Loving my new kitchen.
