Thank you so much Cliff! We would 100% highly recommend the kitchen business to everyone. The whole experience was superb, from the beginning of our journey until the end. The whole team were so professional and accommodating, with so much attention paid to detail. I cannot thank the whole team enough for designing and fitting such a beautiful kitchen and wardrobes! We are so pleased with everything. You are the best team, thank you!

David & Ailish

Dear Cliff,

We just want to thank you and your team for the amazing job that you did on our new kitchen.

Just about a year ago when we asked you about removing an internal wall and opening up to a new modern open plan kitchen/dining/living space you told us it would be a ‘game changer’ and you promised Ailish her ‘dream kitchen’.

To say that you delivered on your promise would be an understatement – you knocked it right out of the park and the end result is beyond anything that we could have hoped for.

From the moment you presented your initial plans you nailed it, you took all of our requests on board and added another layer of detail, design and practicality – credit to you for presenting Heritage Green as the colour for our scheme after we told you in our first discussion that we weren’t keen on green!! It was absolutely the perfect colour choice for our design and looks very contemporary, we love it – glad we trusted you!
We have so much space and storage it really is incredible and combined with the many clever design features it really exceeds any expectations, everyone who sees it is blown away and we can’t believe it is our kitchen! You delivered everything we asked for and so much more – including the incredible ‘Entertainment Wall’ and all within budget.

We are delighted with all of the equipment that you specified, great quality, very user friendly and good value, cooking is a real pleasure again.
Thank you also for all of the contacts that you suggested for our flooring, tiles, fittings and electricals, all of your suppliers were a great help in finding the best possible solutions and it was a great to support local businesses like McCracken Flooring, Ceramica and EH Services – all delivered!

Our new kitchen plan quickly became a whole new ground floor refurb and we are very grateful to you for all of your help and input into making that happen, you were literally involved every step of the way and we could not have done it without you, from helping us to select new windows and doors and colour scheme to the tiled floors and new cloakroom ‘The Kitchen Business’ is literally all over it. Special thanks to our ‘Creative Director’ Karen.

You have an incredible team all of whom contributed massively every step of the way – from initial rip out and the wall coming down right through to all the important re-building and finishing touches – massive thanks to Alan and David, Pete and Davy, Dale, Gary, Ian and Russ – they got through an enormous amount of work.
Their craftsmanship, professionalism, hard work and attention to detail was first class, always willing to go the extra mile and looking for the best and most creative solutions – everyone made a really positive contribution and are a credit to your business, it was a pleasure to have all the guys working in our house, nothing was ever a problem and everyone turned up when they said they would, the whole operation ran like clockwork.

What can we say Cliff except THANK YOU for our Dream House, we are very proud of the end result and hope you are too.
We would not hesitate to recommend The Kitchen Business to any prospective client and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Nikki & Sharon

Marty and I just reiterate how pleased we are with our new kitchen. From the first meeting to the end result we have been impressed and delighted with the service and friendliness of yourself and the team you have working with you. It has made the whole experience a lot easier. Can I especially say what a lovely person Dave is and what a good cleaner upper he is!!! Also Mark and his patience in the wee changes I made here and there!! Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and, having had kitchens put in before, this is not something I have experienced!!

All in all we just want to say thank you to you and your team for a great job.

Cheers(in the Esplanade when the c-thing is a distant memory!!)

I think even you may have thought I had pushed the boat out a little of my depth but sure if your going to do something do it properly and we love it. Please thank all the boys and I apologise if I forgot names but to Big Dave, Allen, Dale, Rick, Ian, Peter also the stone guys and the plasterer who kept Lennie entertained in his stilts and who’s name evades me your all incredibly professional, hard working and nothing is ever a hassle.

Confidently recommend `The Kitchen Business`, to anyone wishing to have a refurbished design, well planned ergonomic design, each appliance in the right place, making best use of the cube area. Professional workmanship throughout, kitchen fitter, plasterer, electrician ,plumber and tiler; all turned up in the right sequence, and carried out their work with the minimum of disruption, good liaison throughout, as we could always rely on the team members to arrive at exactly the time they had agreed. Lovely new, modern kitchen, we are both very pleased with the workmanship and the finished result will give service for many years to come.

Thankyou `Kitchen Business`, Bangor.

Ron and Mary Cummings, Bangor

We would highly recommend The Kitchen Business for anyone looking to change or upgrade their kitchen. From the get-go, Cliff was so professional, creative, helpful, and most importantly – patient!! He listened to what we wanted whilst also giving us ideas for things we may not have considered or thought of before, as well as very useful suggestions on how things may work better. Nothing was too much trouble and he never bat an eyelid or raised a brow as we ruminated over black or stainless steel; nickel or polished chrome; handles or no handles…….and so on!

Cliff’s team were extremely easy to work with, nothing seemed like a hassle to them and while the guys were in the house, there was minimal disruption with the job being completed as efficiently and quickly as possible! True professionals. The attention to detail and pride they all take in their work was evident all the way through the project.

We are so pleased with how it has all turned out, they have given us our dream kitchen & utility, and we can’t wait to have our first ‘kitchen-warming’ – once Covid decides to disappear, that is!

Paul and Joan

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Cliff and his team for not only making this renovation project possible but for making it as painless as possible.

Cliff has an amazing team of builders, plasterers, plumbers, electricians, and kitchen fitters who are not only great workers but are respectful and treat your home as if it were their own. They arrived on time and cleaned up before they left each day so that even in the temporary chaos, your home was still habitable.

From the beginning of the project to the end of the project, Cliff managed everything very smoothly and any snags we had were corrected almost immediately and nothing was too much trouble, even when we made a few changes along the way.

I have no reservations at all in recommending the Kitchen Business to anyone thinking about renovating , we are absolutely delighted with ours.

Just want to thank you for the beautiful kitchen you put in here in broadway. Anyone that comes in admires it one said its like a show room
kitchen. I find it so easy compared to my two previous kitchens
It is designed just perfectly and couldn’t be more happy.

Lorna & Henry

We recently had our kitchen done by the Kitchen Business. This included building work as we wanted to create a more open space. The process was made extremely easy right from inception to completion. The design of our new kitchen was creative, and priced extremely competitively. All work was co-ordinated and project managed through the kitchen business, and was completed on schedule. We made some late changes on what we wanted – nothing seemed like a hassle and all work was completed to a high standard. The workmen were all very friendly and professional, and communication was first class.

We are delighted with the end product and could not recommend the Kitchen Business highly enough.

Chrissie and Fergus, Holywood

We were recommended the kitchen business for a kitchen refurbishment and were delighted with end results. Cliff designed our dream kitchen after meeting with us and discussing our plans. The job included building work and Cliff was able to co-ordinate all from start to finish. The whole process was stress free and well co-ordinated. The tradesmen were all very courteous and tidied up after themselves each day and all work was of a very high standard. We love our new kitchen which now feels brighter and more spacious. I would highly recommend Cliff and his team – thank you so much to you all.

Catherine and Philip Lowe

We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen. We were very impressed with Cliff’s attention to detail, his expertise and the advice given to us. We were extremely happy with his team of tradesmen who were veryprofessional, hardworking and polite. We would thoroughly recommend The Kitchen Business. Thanks again for everything.

Nick and Penny

Having recently had a new kitchen fitted by the Kitchen Business we’d like to share our experience with others. On making the decision that a new kitchen was needed we did visit a few kitchen places to enquire. Cliff was the only person to come up with a totally different kitchen design as the others just wanted to replace in the same layout. We were immediately impressed by his ideas. When it came to preparation & installation his team were very professional in their approach. When we needed to ‘tweak’ a few things it wasn’t ever a problem to them. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Kitchen Business to anyone wanting to install a new kitchen. Fabulous????????????

Noel and Hilary Stephenson, Newtownards

We wanted to say a big thank-you to you and your team for giving us our dream kitchen. We had an amazing customer experience throughout the entire process from design to installation. The kitchen looks amazing and feels much more spacious. We couldn’t be more pleased.

David and Melanie

Our fabulous new kitchen has just been completed by The Kitchen Business and
we are absolutely thrilled with it. We had explained to Cliff what we wanted
and he came up with a design which we immediately liked.

He organised the removal of the existing kitchen and tiles etc. All the tradesmen from the plasterer to the electrician were excellent. The kitchen fitter did a fantastic job and everyone involved was really pleasant and worked to a very high standard.

Cliff project managed every stage of the work and ensured that we were completely happy with every aspect. Nothing was too much trouble. Our new kitchen has exceeded all our expectations. It really has the wow factor and we absolutely love it.

We can highly recommend The Kitchen Business. Many thanks to Cliff and all his team.

Alan and Irene

Thought you might like some photos of our transformation. We love it!! Thank you so much for this beautiful kitchen.

Hilary and Bobby

We have just had our 3 year old daughter’s room fitted with wardrobes and shelving and I would 1000% recommend The Kitchen Business. From start to finish, we received a reliable, professional service. We met with Cliff and he came up with an original design. He was happy to make final tweaks to ensure we ordered exactly what we wanted! The furniture was fitted over the two days, by pleasant, hard working guys, who left the room clean and tidy each day. We could not be happier with the finished product. Other than the fact that our 3yo’s bedroom is much nicer than ours! The quality of the shelving and robes is exceptional. We look forward to using The Kitchen Business in other projects in the near future. I would whole heartedly recommend The Kitchen Business to any people who want high quality, aesthetically pleasing products.

Helen and Jarrett, Ballyholme

I keep meaning to write to say a huge thank you as we love the kitchen. The whole process was stress free and your guys are excellent, plus all are polite, friendly and tidy.

Charlie and Ed, Seacliff Road, Bangor

After being delighted with our new kitchen fitted by Cliff at The Kitchen Business we decided to have him refurbish our bedroom with fitted furniture and with the help of Chris McKee add an ensuite. We are extremely happy with the first class quality, service, attention to detail and expertise displayed by them and couldn’t praise them highly enough. Nothing was a bother to Cliff or Chris and both went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with everything. All the guys who work for them are highly skilled and very pleasant to have in the house. We have no hesitation in recommending the team for kitchens, bedrooms or bathrooms.

Hilary and Bobby

We cannot praise highly enough the attention and service we received when we recently had a new kitchen installed.

The Kitchen Business came highly recommended and we have to say we were not disappointed. Our initial meeting with Cliff (the owner) was very welcoming and friendly. He listened to what we wanted and was most helpful and reassuring. Cliff was always on hand during the project and was not put out when we changed our minds along the way. His team of tradesmen were polite and courteous at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending The Kitchen Business for an excellent service, a high standard of workmanship and a first class quality kitchen.

Michael and Carol Hughes

Cliff and the Kitchen Business were recommended to us by friends who had been delighted with their work. I can honestly say, I now have an amazing kitchen!

Cara and Gary, Bangor

I got my fabulous new kitchen from Kitchen Business (Cliff Mcchesney) Dec 15. To say i’m pleased is an understatement from start to finish Cliff and his team worked hard to give me my dream kitchen. I changed my mind about the colour I changed my mind about the design I then changed my mind about the size of cooker four days before it was to go in . What did Cliff do ? accommodate accommodate accommodate . Nothing is too much trouble for Cliff and his team . I can not thank Kitchen Business enough for my wow factor kitchen .

Liz McKee, Bangor

Just before Christmas we had a kitchen refurbishment carried out by The Kitchen Business (Owner – Mr Cliff McChesney). The project from start to finish was managed by Cliff who co-ordinated the various trades involved and it was a weight of our shoulders to know that we just had to deal with Cliff, making it a stress free project. Great attention was given to detail in all aspects of the work by all involved.

Tom and Joan Boyd

I have to say I have very rarely felt the need to write a recommendation for any business but I have to express my sincere and heart felt thanks to Cliff and his team at The Kitchen Business (Bangor).

I must admit to feeling a fair bit of trepidation when my wife expressed her desire for a new kitchen never mind the fact she wanted walls knocked down and a complete revamp. After a recommendation several friends and visits to several more well known local kitchen designers we settled on Cliff as our designer and project manager. Right from the outset he made us feel at ease and worked with us to understand our brief and to help us in the decision making process. His attention to detail and can do attitude was both refreshing and helpful. He took his time with us over all the decisions and made sure we were happy at every step.

When the day came to start, Cliff was on hand to make sure all the tradesmen from the building work to the plumbing and electrical were up to speed on what was required and kept in contact as the preparation work progressed – as with any major project there were of course hiccups but Cliff and his team took them all in their stride and never once let their high standards slip.

I must comment on Cliffs unprecedented desire for perfection – there was no aspect of the work or kitchen design/installation I could fault and he ‎ made it very clear that he expected the very highest standards from both his team and his suppliers at all times.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Cliff or any of the tradesmen in his team to any of my friends and family.

Many thanks Cliff on giving us a kitchen that will give us immense pleasure for many years to come.

Gavin Mclean, Kinwood Court, Bangor

Having discussed with Cliff our ideas and requirements for the complete replacement of our kitchen and also being impressed by trade reports and customer feedback we engaged Cliff to produce a suitable design. We were delighted with range of finishes available and the high standard of materials used not to mention the excellent appliances to compliment the layout that he created for us. We had a tight time line for the project due to other commitments this proved to be not a problem for Cliff and his team. It was a pleasure to see such professionalism and skill by all members of the team. Punctual, tidy, polite and helpful throughout the whole project a very rare experience in today’s world. Cliff’s outfit really is “The Kitchen Business”

We now have the pleasure and enjoyment of a bespoke kitchen that is truly unique and surpasses our original expectations.

We certainly have no hesitation in recommending The kitchen business to turn your ideas into reality.

Brian and Margaret Robinson, Bangor

We contacted The Kitchen Business to design, supply and install a new kitchen for our bungalow. With the ideas we had and Cliff’s suggestions we arrived at a great layout and he e-mailed the visuals to us for our approval.

The installation which included electrics, plumbing, plastering and tiling was carried out according to schedule.

In all our dealings with Cliff McChesney we found him to be very professional with a great eye for detail. He also kept us informed on each step of the process and followed up on every aspect of the installation to make sure we were happy with the final result.

We are delighted with our beautiful new kitchen which has exceeded our expectations and we would thoroughly recommend The Kitchen Business.
