Report
Format Kitchens worked off my initial floorplans quickly and provided drawings and a quote within a couple of days. Once the project started they kept me in touch with times and dates and were always on time when visiting site. The kitchen design was challenging but they always had solutions and it was never an issue when plans needed to be changed. The outcome was exactly what the clients were after and I will be using them again on future projects.
