About us

A Local Team That Designs, Fits and Finishes Every Job

We started in 2012 with one van and a simple idea: the people who plan your kitchen or bathroom should be the people who build it. 14 years on, that hasn’t changed.

Our story

Why we do it this way

Before Kennet, our founders spent years working as subcontracted fitters for kitchen showrooms and national retailers. They saw the same problems again and again: designs that didn’t fit the room, trades who had never met each other, and homeowners stuck in the middle making phone calls.

So we built a company the other way round. We employ every trade we need, from the designer to the electrician. We take on fewer jobs at a time so each one gets proper attention. And we put one project manager in charge of each job, so customers always know who to call.

We named the business after the River Kennet, which rises near Avebury and runs east through Marlborough, through the part of Wiltshire where most of us grew up. Today we work across Swindon, north Wiltshire and the southern Cotswolds, and most of our work comes from recommendations and repeat customers.

What we believe

  • Design is not an upsell. A good plan saves money, so it’s free.
  • Quotes should be complete. Fixed, itemised and in writing.
  • Homes should stay homes. Tidy sites, and respect for the people living in them.
  • Work should last. That’s why we guarantee ours for 10 years.
