Kevin worked with us to design and install our kitchen, fitting in with the style of our house and using materials, textiles and colours that I absolutely love. He is incredibly talented and an absolute talent to work with. We could not be happier with the design, quality and workmanship.

The quality of product, the choice of product, the amount of attention to detail, and the hand-holding that we got from Nureno, was far superior to what was available on the high street.

We have seen most of Kevin’s work over the last few years and can honestly say the design and finish of his kitchens and builds are outstanding. We can thoroughtly recommend Nureno, both Kevin on a personal level, and the company on a professional level. If you have any doubts just go for it.

We have worked with Kevin a number of times on different projects over the past 10 years and have always found him to be reliable, professional and great fun to work with. Kevin has a great eye for design and is an excellent project manager who makes the whole process painless. His advice through every stage was invaluable, from planning the design right through to the finishing touches. Nothing is too much trouble and any problems are addressed immediately. He always goes above and beyond and the end result of our latest project together is even better than we could have imagined! We are absolutely delighted with everything and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Given the task of producing smart units at the end of a living area, but future proofing for a kitchen should the room change its use, Kevin guided us through all the options with infinite patience. The result is most pleasing, matching the walls to perfection and a pleasure to look at and use. The fitters came on time, left on time and were skilled and careful – all supervised by Kevin who is very hands on. Rare these days. We could not be happier.

Kevin, we wanted to say a massive thank you for our stunning kitchen. It looks amazing and we really appreciate all of your patience and advice through every stage, from planning right through to the finishing touches. The whole process was managed professionally, with you listening to everything we wanted and also offering your professional advice. You made the whole process so painless and the end result just blew us away. We are very pleased and have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
If you have a question that is not covered here or in our articles, the free consultation is the right place to start. We visit your home and give you honest answers specific to your project.
It depends on the size, position and type of your property. Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development rights and do not require a full planning application. We assess the planning position for every project as part of the free consultation and advise you clearly before any work is agreed.
This is the most important question any homeowner can ask. At Nureno, both parties sign off on the same complete 2D and 3D design before a single wall goes up. What you approve at the design stage is exactly what gets built. The gap between expectation and reality is closed before work begins, not managed after it has opened.
A home extension adds new floor space to your property and involves structural work. A renovation works within the existing footprint, updating and reconfiguring the spaces you already have. Many projects involve both. If yours does, a single contract covering every element is significantly simpler than coordinating separate firms for each part.
Look for independent accreditation, a proper design process that includes full 3D visualisation, a fixed-price proposal before work starts and a single contract covering every element of the project. Ask to see completed projects and speak to previous clients. Any firm that is confident in its work will welcome both.
