“A kitchen is often the heart of our home. We understand this and want your new kitchen to reflect the distinct beauty, practicality and vision you have.”

If you don’t have that vision yet... let me help you! Trading since 2000, and I still love new design and more than ever a happy client.

    Design

    Mike Ross Kitchens offer you a high quality bespoke design and installation service.

    Bring your own ideas, or none at all. Mike plans the layout with you and gives the practical advice that turns a wish list into a kitchen that works every day: where the oven sits, how the drawers open, what goes in the corners.

  2. II.

    Supply

    The correct kitchen system, including appliances, according to your taste and budget.

    Units, worktops and appliances sourced to suit the room and the spend. Solid surfaces or natural timber are an optional addition for worktops that lift the whole room.

  3. III.

    Installation

    Fitted by Mike himself, start to finish.

    Mike is a fitter first, so the person planning your kitchen knows exactly how it will go in. Whether it is additions or alterations to your existing kitchen or a brand-new makeover, the work is done carefully and the house is left tidy.

Every trade the job needs

Our services include all the necessary trades should you require them, so there is no chasing five different people to finish one kitchen:

  • Joinery
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Tiling
  • Plastering

“I’m proud to be a fitter who knows what works and looks good and a salesman second.”

The detail

Solid surfaces, natural timber and the bits you only notice when you open a drawer.

Solid surfaces or natural timber are an optional addition Mike can provide, and the planning goes all the way inside the cabinets.

About Mike

From the Lake District to the North East, with a joiner’s training.

Mike Ross Kitchens was set up in 2000, after Mike moved from his home town in the Lake District to the North East. He had completed six years with a then local joinery firm and was ready to set out on his own.

Initially he started with bedroom and bathroom fitting, but new kitchen installations are by far the majority of the workload now. Alongside domestic kitchen design and fitting, the company contracts and tenders with many of the nationwide housebuilders and kitchen suppliers, including new build, flatted development and showroom installations.

Customers mention the same things again and again: he arrives on time, explains why he is doing things a certain way, and leaves the place tidy.
