How We Work

How we work

The decision to invest in a new kitchen or any key living area should be an exciting, creative, and enjoyable process.  Here at Ashgrove we aim to ensure that is exactly what happens.  We have learnt that the key to a successful relationship with our clients and stunning outcome is that we listen to your ideas and work closely with you through all the stages, from design to completion and beyond. That way we can ensure a completely successful project; something that we are all truly proud of.

Step one – Free consultation

We offer a free no obligation initial consultation to explore your ideas and give advice to ensure we are creating a kitchen that meets your individual needs today and in the future.

Step two – Designing your dream kitchen

At the first home visit we will take detailed measurements and fully discuss your ideas, requirements and preferences. Our kitchen designer can offer further advice and help evolve your initial ideas considering both the function as well as the aesthetics of your new kitchen. Often ideas may come from your own home, such as a beautiful stained glass window in the hall may be incorporated into a cupboard door.

On agreeing the key points, an outline plan will be drawn up with a quotation. A further visit will be arranged to show you samples and illustrations of the initial concepts, design and materials. Any further amendments will be made until you are entirely satisfied. Only then will a final plan and detailed quotation be drawn up for your approval.

Step three – Approving the design

When you are completely satisfied with our proposal, we will send a letter of confirmation, discuss convenient dates for instalment, and take an initial deposit. We arrange a final check survey by one of our professional fitters prior to placing the order to our workshops.

Step four – Project Management

We offer a complete project management service for your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or home study. From initial design to  liaising directly with tradesman for building  work, electrics , plumbing, plastering and flooring we can complete the look for you. We have a wealth of experience in sourcing material, additional fixtures and unique fittings as well as appliances. Should you not require a full service we would be happy to supply only. Please contact your designer to discuss your particular requirements who will be your point of contact through the whole process.

Step five – Manufacture

All our kitchens and furnture are bespoke and manufactured to your specific design at our factory in Crediton. We employ skilled tradespeople who can meet our exacting standards. All of our kitchen cabinets are supplied in rigid form, assembled ready for fitting in your home. You can always pop along to our factory and see for yourself.

Step six – Installation

Our experienced kitchen fitters will ensure that the installation takes place with as little inconvenience as possible, but naturally there will be some noise, dust and interruption to water, gas and electricity. We aim to finish an installation within a week however this may extend depending on the complexity of the install and materials being used. We also offer ‘supply only’ to those customers who like to arrange their own fitting.

Step seven – Completion

At last we are finished! We will provide you with a customer care folder with all the details on warranties and advice on looking after your new kitchen. However, our service doesn’t stop here. If you have any questions, or an unforeseen problem arises, please give us a call and we will be there to assist.

Step eight – Our Guarantee

All our kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and home studies are built to last; our craftsmanship demands this. All our doors, drawer fronts and cabinets that we manufacture, are guaranteed for 6 years. During that time should you have a problem please contact us and we would be happy to provide a solution where possible.

Step nine – Your recommendation

We’re very proud of the fact that the majority of our business comes from the clients who have kindly recommended Ashgrove to friends and family. And because a client referral is the greatest form of praise we can ever receive, we’d like to give you a little something in return for recommending an Ashgrove kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or study.

If you recommend Ashgrove to a friend or relative, and we sell and complete a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or home study we’ll send you £100 worth of Waitrose gift vouchers. Whatever your tastes, be it a case of vintage wines, a hamper of gastronomic delights or perhaps a treat for the home, we are sure you will find something you love. What’s more, John Lewis can deliver many items to your door!

There’s also a little something extra in it for your referral: as well as a superb product and outstanding service, we’ll give them £100 off any NEFF appliance for their new kitchen.

Now it's all yours!

When I was referred to Ashgrove it was refreshing to hear that they were a local firm within Devon with local builders and for the most part all their stock on site. I wasn’t just going for something standard like a shaker kitchen in beautiful sage green but we got there and I am really, really happy with it. I haven’t met anybody yet that has walked into it and not really loved the way it has all fitted together.
