Customer Grisewood, Leyburn, September 2025
An Excellent, Personal, Professional Service! We were recommended to Holmes Installations when we bought our new Wren kitchen. From day one they were very informative and kept us informed of the process and dates. Darren is clearly very experienced and gave us suggestions based on his knowledge so we could make informed decisions. The standard of work has been excellent. Darren carried out the fitting and plumbing work himself and his recommended Electrician was also to the same exacting standards. We would have no delays in recommending Holmes Installations to our family and friends in the future.

Customer Kitchener, Thirsk, July 2025
Full kitchen fitting and all appliances - From day one of getting my kitchen ripped out Darren was absolutely brilliant.

Customer Gilbert, Northallerton, April 2025
An excellent job, absolutely delighted with the service we received.

His experience was evident and the final result was perfect. He went above and beyond to ensure the result was exactly what we wanted.
Customer Tolan, York, April 2025
Darren and Jayne (The absolute dream team!) Thank you every so much for making the process of changing our kitchen so smooth and calm. Darren you are a pro, a perfectionist and just incredible at what you do. Darren was absolutely meticulous in his work and a real perfectionist. He was such a friendly and thoughtful person when it came to work in our house and he made sure we weren't without a sink for longer than necessary. The work was planned and executed with precision and Jayne behind the scenes is a whizz with organisation and great communication. The kitchen is up to an incredibly high standard and Darren definitely went over and above with the service he provided.

Customer Dundas, Gateshead, February 2025
We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Darren and his team at Holmes Installations. They fitted a new kitchen and utility for us and the quality of their workmanship was exceptional. Darren kept us informed every step of the way, always arrived as scheduled and worked tirelessly to ensure an impeccable finish. His dedication truly stood out - when our worktop providers failed to mention that the architrave needed moving, he even came outside of working hours to resolve the issue. Throughout the entire process, Darren maintained a high level of professionalism.
Customer Lawrence, Easingwold, January 2025
Kitchen Supply & Installation. From the first call with Jayne to the final day of the installation, everything was straight forward and done perfectly. Jayne talked me through the process and options, advised on things I wasn't sure about and dealt with my last minute changes to handles and worktops. Darren visited before the project to double check our design and reassured us that the layout was no issue. It was a full kitchen removal and new installation with plumbing and electrics. Everything was fitted beautifully and a month on, we are thrilled with our kitchen. Would highly recommend Holmes Installations.
Customer Chapman, Pateley Bridge, Harrogate, January 2025
Took out and reinstalled our full kitchen with an extension. Darren completely remodelled our kitchen including taking a wall out creating more space.

We would highly recommend Darren's company.
Customer Macdonald, Hartlepool, December 2024

We recently had a new kitchen installed by Holmes. We found them through excellent reviews on Checkatrade. The planning was the hardest bit (there's so much choice!) Jayne was very good at helping where possible and giving suggestions. Once the work started, it went like a dream. Darren and Callum work so hard. They are punctual and excellent workmen. So too are all the other tradesmen they use - plumber, plasterer, electrician - all punctual and polite. I am delighted with the final result and can highly recommend Holmes Installations.
Customer Fuszard, Leeds, March 2024
I can't speak highly enough of the workmanship, skill and attention to detail in the fitting of our kitchen by Holmes Installations. Darren and Callum literally worked their socks off to ensure everything went to plan, arriving early and leaving only when the days work was completed to their satisfaction. We have an old stone cottage with even walls and some challenging pipe work! Nothing fazed them, we were so impressed with the way they found innovative ways round any problem, sorting plumbing, plastering and electrics as well as fitting the kitchen. A fantastic team. Thank you so much!
Customer Paisley, Harrogate, March 2024
Another excellent kitchen fitted! We've used Holmes Installations twice now and both times the service and quality has been top notch. Darren's attention to detail is second to none, he's a perfectionist! With excellent communication from Jayne you are kept up to date at all times and fully aware of what is happening and when. The project management is well organised and the plastering, electrics and plumbing teams have all worked with Holmes for years and understand how to deliver the best end product. Holmes go the extra mile to ensure what is delivered goes above and beyond. They simply are the best around. Highly recommend!
