OpenHaus Kitchens

Openhaus helped transform dark, cramped spaces into the open-plan bright kitchen and living area we were dreaming of. My main concern was having lots of storage and the kitchen has certainly delivered on that front with clever cabinetry and very useful drawer configurations. The quality and finish are top of the range, as are the appliances. I would highly recommend Openhaus to anybody wanting a stylish and extremely hardwearing kitchen. More...

No detail is too much trouble from the visit to the showroom to discuss exactly what you would like thro design and ending with the installation by skilled workmen. Everything is coordinated so no time is wasted. The quality of cabinets and white goods is top of range. We would highly recommend Openhaus if you want a first class installation. More...

We recently had our kitchen completely redone by OpenHaus &what a transformation this has been. For those of you only wanting a summary, then we would highly recommend the OpenHaus team as we are delighted with the finished product. Jon, Philip &Sonia made the experience as pain free as possible, commendable given the scale of the work required. Everything was completed to budget & a few days ahead of schedule. When selecting a suitable company, we take into account customer reviews as part of the criteria, but we found many to be high level & didn’t explain the process in detail. We were therefore a little unsure of what to expect & what timescales this was likely to take. We have therefore taken the opportunity to provide details of our experience that may be of use to those interested in our journey at a more granular level. Previously, we had a tired set of units that failed to fully utilise the space we had available. We were open minded in terms of what we were looking for, hence didn’t start with much of a brief other than working with the room layout as it was, so no moving of doors or windows. Having done our research & liked what we saw, we visited the OpenHaus showroom around the middle of August to explain our predicament. Jon followed this up with a site visit where he performed an interview around what we wanted to use the kitchen for, what appliances we required along with our preferred materials, colours & design that would complement the rest of the house.Within a few days, Jon had drawn up possible designs & invited us in to see the renders. He talked us through the rationale for placing certain things where he had showing us that he had considered the information provided & acted accordingly. He came up with some clever ideas & were very impressed with his proposal. To his credit, the vast majority of the original design ended up in the finished product. He worked with us on a small number of refinements, so following a couple of iterations, we had finalised the plans. Construction of the units started within a couple of weeks of placing the order & the end of October set for the refit to commence (approx. 5 week build time given the number of units required). In parallel, Philip visited us a number of times to take measurements, introduce us to the team & clarify any final points. Work started on time and moved quickly. Within two weeks, the old kitchen had been removed & the units fitted ready for templating the worktops. These would require 2-3 weeks to prepare, during which time further work such as fitting handles & other sundry tasks were carried out. As it turned out, the granite was ready within two weeks & promptly fitted. We could finally visualise what the finished product was going to look like and we were very pleased with things so far. A further week of painting, fitting plinths, cutlery trays & other finishing touches saw the job completed by early December, which was ahead of schedule. We had kept this quiet from some friends who were visiting the following weekend so was a complete surprise to them & needless to say, they were blown away with what they saw. Everyone was professional & ensured things were secure &tidy at the end of each day. During the final few days, we were asked to prepare a snagging list. This was only minor items, but we did list everything we found to the point we could be accused of nit-picking (we were looking for perfection after all!), but this was all accepted without fuss & everything on our list was rectified within a few days, with the exception of one cutlery tray where the wood was in a paler colour than the other trays & is currently in the process of being re-manufactured. Having had our new kitchen for a month now, we are still delighted with everything & it has prompted positive feedback from everyone who has visited. The fit, finish &materials are all superb & we are sure we will be enjoying it for many years to come. More...

We recently had our kitchen and adjacent utility room completely redone by OpenHaus Kitchens and what a transformation this has been. For those of you only wanting a summary, then we would highly recommend the OpenHaus team as we are delighted with the finished product and Jon, Philip and Sonia have made the whole experience as pain free as possible, which is commendable given the scale of the work required. Everything was completed within the agreed budget and we were in a position to use it a few days ahead of schedule.

When we embarked on selecting a suitable company, we took into account customer reviews as part of the selection criteria, but we found many to be high level and didn’t explain the process in any detail. We were therefore a little unsure of what to expect and what sort of timescales this was all likely to take. We have therefore taken the opportunity to provide some more details of our experience here that may be of use to those who may be interested in our customer journey at a more granular level.

Previously, we had a tired and ill-fitting set of units that failed to fully utilise the space we had available. We were open minded in terms of what we were looking for, hence didn’t start with much of a brief other than working with the room layout as it was, so no moving of doors or windows, but everything else was a blank canvas and we were open to suggestions.

Having done the aforementioned research and liked what we saw, we visited the OpenHaus showroom in Pease Pottage around the middle of August to explain our predicament. Jon followed this up with a site visit where he basically performed an interview around what we wanted to use the kitchen for, what appliances we required, what style we liked whilst taking into account the materials, colours and design that would complement the rest of the house.

Within a few days, Jon had drawn up a couple of possible designs and invited us in to see the renders. He talked us through the rationale for placing certain things where he had, which demonstrated to us that he had considered the information we had provided and acted accordingly. He had come up with some clever ideas and overall we were very impressed with his proposal. To his credit, the vast majority of the original design ended up in the finished product. He worked with us on a small number of refinements, mainly around the cooker hood and how best to enclose the extractor mechanism, so following a couple of iterations, we had finalised the plans in place.

Construction of the units started within a couple of weeks of placing the order and a date set for the end of October for the refit to commence (approx. 5 week build time given the number of units required). Whilst this was being done, Philip visited us a number of times to take measurements, introduce us to the team, clarify any final points and ensure that there weren’t going to be any nasty surprises when work started.

Everyone turned up as planned and in less than two weeks, the old kitchen and utility had been removed, and the new base and wall units in place ready for templating the granite worktops. We were advised they would require 2-3 weeks to prepare, during which time further work around painting, fitting handles and other sundry items was carried out.

As it turned out, the granite was ready within two weeks and promptly fitted, which really lifted the whole appearance and we could finally visualise what the finished product was going to look like. A further week of painting, fitting plinths, cutlery trays, spice racks and other finishing touches saw the job completed by early December, so ahead of schedule and just in time for us to entertain some friends who were visiting us the following weekend which had been a loose deadline we were working towards with OpenHaus, although both parties agreed this was not to be at the expense of quality. We had kept this quiet from our friends so was a complete surprise to them and needless to say, they were blown away with what they saw.

Throughout the whole process, everyone was professional and polite, and ensured everything was secure and tidy at the end of each day. Once the old kitchen was removed, a few minor issues with the existing build came to light which Philip worked with us on to help overcome. This didn’t result in extended timescales or increased costs and was just dealt with as part of the process. During the final few days, we were asked to prepare a snagging list, which we duly did. This comprised of only minor items, mainly around the paintwork of the units since they had been primed in white, but finished in a dark colour, which readily showed up any imperfections and areas not completely covered. We did list every little issue we found to the point we could be accused of nit-picking (we were looking for perfection after all!), but once again this was all accepted without fuss and everything on our list was rectified within a few days, with the exception of one cutlery tray where the wood was in a paler colour than the other trays and is currently in the process of being re-manufactured.

Having lived with our new kitchen for nearly a month now, we are still delighted with everything and it has prompted very positive feedback from everyone who has visited. The fit, finish and materials are all superb and we are sure we will be enjoying it for many years to come. More...

Jon designed the kitchen and was very patient when I wanted to make changes, he also made some really good suggestions which were implemented. He wasn't pushy at all and I didn't feel pressurised into making a decision or bombarded with sales calls like other companies. Once I'd placed the order, the while process was just easy. The kitchen was fitted and the few minor issues with some imperfections on the doors were sorted out easily. We have been enjoying using our kitchen every since and I would highly recommend Openhaus.

We looked in London and across the South East at various different Kitchen companies, but nothing was bespoke enough. Openhaus have a combination of inhouse joinery and German engineered cabinetry that fitted the bill.

Jon in the store was very professional and not at all pushy. He has a great eye for design and made the whole process simple and straightforward.

OpenHaus kitchens have transformed our kitchen. Previously the space was poorly designed and contained wasted space. Phillip and the team produced two brilliant yet vastly different designs to better utilise the space available. We are unbelievably happy with the end result, not only does the kitchen look exceptional but its functionality is phenomenal. The teams clever design allows you to move seamlessly around the space with everything exactly where you need it to be. Everyone who worked on the kitchen has been professional and friendly.

OpenHaus designed an open plan kitchen diner for our new self build and the results are excellent. They paid great attention to detail and their visuals are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. They are responsive and flexible which was important with no kitchen to visit at the design stage - only the drawings. When eventually installing they have overcome the odd problems left by other trades and suggested improvements as we went along. A class result from a class team - and really good value for money.

I have nothing but praise for them. Both are very kind and welcoming, the showroom is stunning and they know how to host great events for their clients!
What you probably want to know though is about the quality of the design and workmanship, and from what I’ve seen and the camera picks up, their kitchens are perfect! They make the job of photographing them a breeze. No need to spend time retouching poor workmanship. You can see the pride they take in getting every detail just right.

We chose OpenHaus to replace our kitchen as we were very impressed with their professional attitude; attention to detail; thoughtfulness to our needs ; great knowledge of the products that they sell/use; and help with choices where we felt we needed guidance.

Once we had signed our contract, the curtsey; positive attitude; thoughtfulness to our needs; and consideration continued. We found that they took care to ensure that we were kept informed of the next steps and the best thing was that they ensured that our house was left in a tidy state each night, thereby causing least disruption to our lives for the few days that we were without a kitchen.

They demonstrated consideration by moving our old fridge freezer and microwave to another part of the house so that we were never without them and prioritised the installation of our new appliances.

The craftsmanship is truly commendable, the finishing of the awkward corners shows that they take pride in their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody who wants a new kitchen installed – and we would recommend a visit to their delightful showroom. More...

From our initial inquiry and home design visit through to fitting and finishing, the whole team at Open Haus were friendly and, above all, professional.
During the design stage they took all our wishes on board and were happy to make multiple changes to ensure we ended up with a design that really worked for us. The quality of the initial renders was outstanding, our finished kitchen looks just like them. The Rational kitchen is superb, as are all our Miele and Siemens appliances.
However, the thing that impressed us most was Philip's attention to detail when it came to the fitting. It was hard to believe that we had found a fitter more fussy about the detail than me! All the trades who they brought onto the job from the plasterer, electrician and decorator were true professionals who did a first class job. The cleanliness during the fit was also notable - not often do you find workmen who back out of the house using a bucket and mop!
Even when there were a few minor problems the way they dealt with them made sure our experience went as smoothly as possible.
We are delighted that we chose OpenHaus. They created a wonderful heart to our home.
