Planning your kitchen and visiting our showrooms
Every Harvey Jones kitchen is individually designed, so the investment depends on your space, cabinetry, materials, finishes, and the details you choose.
During your complimentary design appointment, your designer will take time to understand your ideas, priorities and budget, helping you explore the possibilities and create a kitchen that’s right for your home.
Timescales vary depending on the complexity of your design, the work required in your home and the installation schedule.
Many clients begin planning several months before they want their kitchen completed. We recommend getting in touch early, particularly if you’re undertaking a larger renovation or extension.
Your designer can explain the stages involved and help you plan around your project.

The kitchen design process
A Harvey Jones kitchen is designed around your home, your lifestyle and your individual requirements.
Rather than relying on a fixed collection of standard layouts, our designers work with you to create cabinetry and storage solutions suited to your space.
From proportions and configurations to colours and finishing details, your kitchen is personal to you.

Our designers can help you create practical, beautiful storage and a consistent design style across different rooms.
Kitchen craftsmanship and materials
Harvey Jones cabinetry combines traditional joinery techniques with modern precision. Each kitchen is made to suit its individual design, with attention to construction, proportions, and finishing details.
Our approach combines skilled craftsmanship and practical design to create cabinetry for everyday living.
We use materials selected for their quality, stability and suitability for long-lasting cabinetry.
Your designer can explain the materials used in your chosen kitchen, including how the cabinets, doors, and drawers are constructed, and help you explore suitable worktops, handles, and other finishes.
Our painted kitchens receive their final hand-painted finish after we fit the cabinetry in your home.
This allows our specialist painters to finish the cabinetry in its installed setting. It also means you can professionally repaint your kitchen in a different colour in the future.
Our kitchens are built to last, combining durable cabinetry, skilled craftsmanship, and designs that adapt as your needs change.
With proper care, you can enjoy a Harvey Jones kitchen for many years. Our refurbishment service also offers ways to refresh existing cabinetry rather than replacing an entire kitchen.
Kitchen installation and delivery

Our experienced fitting and painting teams work to bring your design to life, with an installation manager helping oversee the process when our installation service is included.

This helps the team prepare for the fitting and understand your property’s specific characteristics.
Depending on your project, you may need to arrange additional plumbing, electrical, and building work separately.
Your designer and installation manager can explain which services are included and what other work you need to organise before installation begins.
Installation timescales depend on the size and complexity of your kitchen, the preparation required and the work involved. Your Harvey Jones team will discuss the anticipated schedule with you so you understand what to expect as your kitchen takes shape.
If you have a concern during installation, speak with your installation manager so they can review the issue and agree on the next steps.
We know how important communication is during a home project, and our team is here to help you understand what’s happening and how we’ll address any outstanding details.
Kitchen care after installation
Harvey Jones provides a 10-year cabinetry guarantee, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
Your guarantee documentation explains the cover available for your kitchen. If you’re unsure what’s included or need help, our aftercare team can explain the next steps.
For everyday cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive products or harsh chemicals that could damage the painted finish. Always follow the care instructions provided with your kitchen and clean up spills promptly to help protect your cabinetry.
If something needs attention, you can contact our aftercare team with details of your kitchen and the issue you’re experiencing. Our team can review your enquiry and advise what assistance may be available, including any applicable guarantee cover or chargeable services.
