No awful sales pitch, just the offer of a free design. Workmen were friendly, really professional and left my home tidy at the end of each day.
The kitchen and utility room look fantastic and we couldn’t be happier.
I would definitely recommend and I’ve asked them back to quote for a new bathroom

Professional from start to finish. Melvyn clearly knows his stuff and talked through the job from start to finish in nice easier terms and offered sound advice. As with any works, things go wrong but the minor issues were dealt with promptly and without fuss. The team who worked on the job were all courteous and diligent and just got on with the job in hand. I would use Potters interiors again and have already recommended them to friends. Job was finished as quoted and there was no messing about at any stage of the job. More...

Potters recently refurbished our bathroom to a high standard. The tradesmen that they employed always turned up on time were courteous and cleared up behind them. Rubbish was removed promptly and care was taken to protect our carpets etc. Would highly recommend. More...

We chose Potters Interiors as a result of local recommendations from the Meopham Village website. We wanted a local company that would design, supply and fit a new shower room and cloakroom.
We were very happy from the moment the designer came to see us until the final touches were completed on our new rooms.
A very professional company that we would highly recommend

Garage Conversions
Potters Interiors were engaged to complete a garage conversion for me. Melvyn was quick with the quote and I was fortunate that they could start almost immediately after another job was pushed back. The team there are curteous and hard working, and I was really impressed by the quality of the work and conversion. Everything was arranged promptly and nothing was forgotten, even as the scope changed a bit during the process. I would highly recommend them - very pleased with both the competitive price, the work, and all the extra work I subsequently asked them to do in my house! More...

Becky and Andrew
We would definitely recommend Potters. They renovated our old bathroom for us and we're so pleased with the final result. We had to be patient as there were some supplier delays and staffing issues due to the pandemic . Unavoidable given the situation. The final result is exactly as specified and to a very high standard. Would definitely use them again. More...

Company kept in touch frequently, Sounded very good but it was decided not for us.

I had a garage conversion done by Potters Interiors. They did a superb job making it a seamless part of the house, you wouldn't even know it was a conversion.
The workmen were professional and they notified me of any obstacles they encountered. They cleaned up after themselves after every hard day's work, even helping me vacuum the dust inside the house.
I would highly recommend Potters Interiors and would consider using them again if the need arose.

Potters Interiors did a fantastic job using multi-disciplinary tradesmen. We had a wall knocked through creating a new large bedroom, some internal plumbing and hardwood floor sanding and staining. They worked quickly, methodically and safely adapting readily to our changes in scope. They are highly recommended. More...

This company did an excellent job of refurbishing my bathroom! I had one wall that had crumbled infact the entire bathroom was a danger to use and a complete eyesore and stunk horrendously. Jay and the team he allocated to do the job completed in eight weeks and the transformation was breathtaking.From the planning stage to the aftercare everything is done to a superb standard and nothing is rushed!Every detail is completed to perfection and double checked to make sure all was too our satisfaction.One of my severely Autistic sons managed to break the toilet seat during a destructive moment and a replacement was no problem at all.Communication is excellent throughout.The furniture is very high end quality stuff with fantastic guarantees.Now the bathroom is classy and has added value to my property gaining many comments from visitors to my home! Worth every penny in my opinion as no short cuts were made.The only thing I would have done in hindsight was to use a different flooring company. But that’s because I am super fussy nothing else.This company we’re very Disability aware around my disabled children too! If I could post photos here I would of done as the transformation is breathtaking and remarkable! Bathroom completed in June 2019. More...
Andrew Mumford
This is an excellent firm who did everything on time and without delay. This was made more difficult by the Covid 19 situation. They worked legally around this and finished the work on time. Their quality of work is excellent and they completed a wonderful garage conversion. I wholly recommend this firm. More...
How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Generally Most brick Built garages are suitable for conversion particularly if attached to the main house as easier for supplies etc to be run in. Some very old pre-fabricated garages are generally not worth spending the money on as most have Asbestos roofs and roof height is low so can cause problems when insulating the floor. In some cases we have recommended to knock it down & build a New timber structure as more cost effective but once we look at each job we will give our Honest opinion what we think is viable and cost effective.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Once we take a look for you and understand what your looking to convert the Garage into we can advise.
Most garage conversions will not need planning permission just Building regulations but this depends on many things. If you have a New build property quite often there is a covenant on the Deeds stating you are not allowed to convert the garage or change the appearance of the house for 10 years! always check this first on your Deeds & with the developer. Sometimes they will allow it as long as you keep the main garage door in place & block up from behind. If Planning is required it can take upto 2 months. If you wish to convert it to a bedroom with a bathroom then you may need planning and also if in a conservation area by changing the look of the front of house. If no planning is required then Only Building regulations we deal with the complete process in-house as we have an independent accredited Building Inspector we use on a regular basis and we have set construction procedures and details pre-agreed with how we carry out all types of garage conversions to it will comply to the latest regulations. We arrange this with them on your behalf and they will visit in the early days of commencement and then on final completion, we will also take photographic evidence of the the construction methods used to send to them & keep on file. All the electrical works will be certified by our highly experienced contractor and a copy of the certificate will be sent to the building inspector before they will release a completion certificate.
If full planning is required then we can arrange that for you too.
We have a great Team of different trades working for us and they all work to the highest standards, I myself project manage all jobs daily. We use the best quality products on the market to achieve in particular the best insulation values especially where garages are concerned, Unfortunately some companies use cheaper methods to just achieve the minimum standard but we are always above minimum requirements.
How long have you been in business?
I have been in business now for 30 years after initially being trained as a Carpenter & joiner for a prestigious building Contractor in London and working my way up to Foreman Carpenter & also gaining a HND in building technology plus Associate level In carpentry & Joiner plus advanced City & Guilds in Carpentry & Joinery, I then decided to go out on my own initially mainly as a Building company carry out extensions, alterations & refurbishments in domestic & commercial properties. I then diversified slightly more into Kitchen & Bathrooms with setting up a showroom for them but still carried on doing only select building work for clients who may be having a new kitchen or bathroom & require building alterations or extensions at the same time. I then found myself taking on Garage conversions in a big way especially since the initial Covid Lock down in 2020 with many looking to work from home to use as either a home office, extra bedroom etc and my Skills fit in just right for this. I have a great team of highly skilled trades working for me & many have been with me over 20 years now. I myself project manage all jobs on a daily basis with regular site visits and update meetings with the client.
What guarantee does your work come with?
All products installed come with their own guarantee such as doors & windows, Flooring products, Kitchens & Bathrooms etc but we also offer a 2 year guarantee on all our workmanship than if something should become faulty within 2 years we will fix it as long as we find its not down to mis-use.
What do you love most about your job?
Turning an idea or a dream into Reality! We love to take the clients initial idea or dream then come up with drawings/plans then follow it through to completion and see their happy faces.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Both my late Father & my older Brothers were Carpenters & Joiners that went out to start their own business so I was brought up working with them at weekends when I was young and was brought up with the attitude if you want something you need to work for it! Hence why after finishing my full apprenticeship I felt being held back & wanted to go out & achieve more in life.
Why should our clients choose you?
At Potters we have a real passion of creating an end product that our clients Dreamed for or is above their expectations. 2nd best is not good enough for us so attention to detail is all our teams priority as well as being polite to our clients & keeping the site tidy & safe as much as possible at all times!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can discuss projects over the phone or online & sometimes estimate costs but obliviously cannot carry out the work.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We are extra careful now on projects, All our trades have face masks to wear if they may be in close contacts with others on site or clients. They all have anti-bacterial Gel on board plus anti-bac wipes.
We will also supply our clients with a Gel pump plus wipes if they wish to use during or after we leave the job to wipe door handles down etc or touch points.
