TESTIMONIALS
"Bob has always been my first go to for any bespoke carpentry / cabinetry we have had, including a floating Japanese style bed, the shop fit of a restaurant, the design and installation of a media wall, and an under stair storage system. All this work was completed on schedule, exactly meeting the brief, and to an outstanding level of quality. Bob is super professional to deal with, and I have no hesitation recommending him further." William Simons Proprietor Park Lodge Cafe Waterford
"Working with Bob at Johnstown Kitchens was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Bob is a highly skilled craftsman with a real wealth of knowledge when it comes to kitchen design and fitting. He created the kitchen for our new home, and it is exactly what we wanted. We absolutely love it. The finished kitchen is unique, stands out from any other, and truly oozes quality. We have already recommended Johnstown Kitchens to all of our friends and would not hesitate to do so again." Patrick and Fiona Co. Waterford
"My Mother's kitchen was made by Bob 25 years ago. It has more than stood the test of time and is as perfect today as it was on installation. This was the reason I was adamant I wanted Bob to take on my project which was not straight forward and definitely not something done before. On a visit to his workshop, I was so impressed by the organisation and orderliness of his workspace. This told me that my vision was in safe hands for this delicate project. The spectacular craftsmanship and ease of executing my project was incredible to watch, from his calm and knowledgeable demeanour to the phenomenal eye for the minute details to the final finish, all of the experience was provided and delivered with expertise that only comes from excellence. I cannot recommend Bob highly enough for any project. A client looking for perfection and a person who makes working with them a calm and reassuring experience, this is that person." Melie and Niall Niall Colgan Hairdressing.
"We feel really lucky to have found Bob. Over the years he has made so much of the timber furniture in our home — our kitchen, wardrobes, our bed, and several other pieces — and the quality has always been outstanding. Everything is beautifully made, practical, and built to last. What we appreciate most is how easy Bob is to work with. Nothing ever seems to be a problem, and he always comes up with practical solutions while keeping things calm and straightforward. He listens carefully, gives honest advice, and genuinely takes pride in his work. Because I trust him so much, I also asked him to build the reception desk for my local business, and it turned out exactly as I had hoped — professional, welcoming, and perfectly finished. Bob is not only a skilled carpenter but also someone you feel comfortable relying on. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and someone who truly cares about the end result." Romana Co. Tipperary
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you offer free design consultations?
Yes, we offer a free initial design consultation to discuss your ideas, space, and budget. We will help you explore layout options, materials, and finishes that suit your lifestyle. It is best if you can bring a drawing or sketch of your kitchen space as well as an idea of what kind of style and colour scheme you are thinking of. Finally, it is important that you tell us how much you would like your new kitchen to cost. This helps us to prioritise the essentials and create a design that suits your budget.
How much does a kitchen cost?
The cost of the complete kitchen can be broken into 3 sections: Cabinetry, worktops and appliances. For a mid-sized kitchen, the cost of cabinetry normally starts at €12k. This figure is hugely dependant on design complexity and materials chosen. Worktops typically start at €1k for a laminate type, and €5k for quartz, stone or Corian. Appliances come in a vast range of prices and styles. These can be tailored to your budget by selecting accordingly.
Do you supply appliances and worktops?
Absolutely. We can supply high-quality appliances, worktops, sinks, and taps from trusted brands such as: Bora - Miele - Neff - Siemens - Bosch - Quooker - Blanco - Franke - Dornbracht - Silestone - Dekton - Caesarstone - Corian - Topform - Blum - Grass - Kessebohmer, and others.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
No, but we are happy to work closely together and provide technical drawings to your selected trades people.
How long does the installation take?
This again depends on the scale and complexity of the design. In most cases, between 2 and 3 days. If you have chosen a worktop that requires on-site templating, this typically takes 7 to 10 days once the cabinetry is installed.
What types of kitchens do you design?
We specialise in all styles — from modern and minimalist to classic shaker and bespoke luxury kitchens. Whether you prefer sleek contemporary lines or timeless traditional charm, we can bring your vision to life.
Do you offer custom or made-to-measure kitchens?
Yes, every kitchen we create is tailor-made to fit your space and lifestyle perfectly. We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” — every element is designed to suit your needs.
What areas do you cover?
We design and install kitchens throughout Ireland and have worked extensively in the UK and occasionally in continental Europe. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to confirm.
