BEFORE & AFTER

Here in Grays, Essex it was a pleasure to refurbish a complete kitchen. The kitchen units are from Wren and the customer is just waiting for specialist quartz worktops to be fitted.

Milano Metallic Elements

This beautiful Wren kitchen is the Milano metallic elements range in night with copper profiles. The kitchen was a whole renovation project which involved knocking through to a dining room to create a large open planned space (see the carousel of 'before' pictures).

The quartz work tops and glass splash backs were fitted by specialist companies who remarked on what a top quality job the fit was, overall we are very proud to add this to our portfolio leaving a stunning kitchen for our wonderful customers to enjoy.

KITCHEN & SNUG

This house had a whole ground floor refresh. We completely refurbished the kitchen with newly plastered ceiling and walls, installed spot lights and a Wren kitchen. The snug also had spotlights and new skirting boards. All ground floor internal doors were also replaced and a stud partition wall erected to divide the space to make a further bedroom. The owners were very complimentary in their review. It was a pleasure!


Excellent! A complete joy to see craftsmanship still exists. Gary totally transformed my home with a well fitted kitchen, new doors throughout and he put up a stud partition wall to create 2 smaller rooms. His work is executed with skill and he goes above and beyond to get the best. Then he’s gone home not leaving any mess , with the only evidence he’s been is his transformation. He had my keys too as I trusted him implicitly. Brilliant work.

GREEN SHAKER

Wonderfully spacious kitchen, refreshed with an interesting combination of green shaker units with contrasting blue shaker island. Customer to finish the floor and walls.

EBONY & COPPER

This beautiful and stylish kitchen was fitted by Gary and Ted for customers of Wren. Look closely at the immaculate workmanship and attention to detail, we particularly like the copper contrast with the black cabinets. The wonderful customers were delighted with their new kitchen and you can read their review here...

Gary was exceptional, probably the best in the business. His workmanship was out of this world. He transformed our kitchen in a way that was far beyond our expectation. Due to his vast experience, the speed in which he works is mind blowing. He is also very creative and gave us solid advice all through the fitting. He pays particular attention to detail in every way. As well as professional, he was so friendly to my husband and I - more like a close friend. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone and if you are reading this comment, please get in touch with Gary, he’ll not disappoint.


YOUR HIRED!

I was approached by The Underfloor Heating Store to make a boardroom table out of some materials they had sourced, I rose to the challenge and here it is! GJF Kitchens are going back to add a privacy panel and an extra leg that didn't arrive on time to be fitted. It was an unuasual project for us, but we absolutely loved it.

Three Day Turnaround

Here is a great little kitchen that was completed in just three days! That includes the removal of the old kitchen, electric and plumbing adjustments, new units installed, work tops, Tek-Wall splashback and silicone to seal.


Serene Wardrobes 

We are in love with these gorgeous wardrobes, fitted for Wren.


Pebble Grey

We installed a beautiful Wren kitchen last week for one of the designers at Lakeside. It is the Autograph Elements kitchen in pebble grey silk finish and looks just stunning.

Improved lighting solution

Here in North Grays, we fitted a larder unit to provide extra storage and boxed in the pipework above. We also improved the ambience and light ing within the kitchen itself by installing spotlights in a pelmet above the units and adding LED's to toally transformed the look and feel of the kitchen. GJF Kitchens were happy to provide a solution to the customers problem. 

Light Grey Gloss

We fitted this kitchen in Hornchurch for a local independent kitchen company here in Grays. We installed these sleek gloss pale grey units. Dry fit only.

New doors fitted in Thurrock Park.

The customer wanted new internal doors fitted throughout and was delighted with the result.

Green Towers

This lovely  grey-green kitchen by Wren was installed this week in Grays, Essex. Tower units provide plenty of storage and the white Tek-Wall brightens up the space. It was left ready for the customer to decorate.

Wren Kitchen with Tek Wall

This Chafford Hundred flat had a refresh with Wren units and the modern, clean alternative to tiling - Tek Wall. The appearance gives a polished concrete look which contrasts nicely with the glossy units. The customer was delighted with the results - another job well done!

Little Bit of Luxe With Clever Storage

It was great to complete this gorgeous Wickes kitchen for a lovely couple in Leigh on Sea. With hidden storage and luxury features, they chose sleek Sofia Pewter units with black granite and quartz sink and worktop. A wine cooler, corner larder unit, hidden utility cupboard, integrated appliances and an instant hot tap added clever and contemporary elements making the most of the space available. They were the first to also receive a GJF Kitchens wooden spoon!

If you’re thinking of having your kitchen remodelled give Gary a ring to see how we can help.


Minimalist Monochrome Kitchen

What a pleasure it was to work on this one. Firstly, they were amazing customers who looked after us like family, but also we loved creating this kitchen with it’s clean lines and glossy, sparkling finish. 

From rip out to finish this was another 10 day turnaround; works included, plastering, electrics, plumbing, porcelain tiled floor, kitchen installation, worktops, tech wall and decoration.


Gary and Ted are a dynamic duo who can pretty much do anything. They have done multiple jobs both small and large on my property and I cannot fault their work ethics or professionalism. Would I recommend definitely 100% and there more work to come.

Silver Pearl Monocouche Render

In the scorching summer sun, we rendered this extension and outbuilding to tie them together. The extension was one we built last year whilst working for someone else, so it was nice to go back and finish my work under my own name!

Silicone based Monocouche renders are a popular choice for homeowner’s who want a flexible, breathable and almost maintenance free render. They can be tinted to almost any shade meaning flaking paint will never be an issue. A low pressure jet wash every few years will keep it looking great.


Fresh Greens

These lovely customers wanted a tired kitchen/dining room completely refurbished. We delivered a whole fresh look in 9 working days. This included removing of thick textured artex and applying a smooth coat plaster to walls and ceilings, new Wren sage green kitchen units, intergrated appliances fitted, plumbing and electrics, new vinyl-click flooring in dark oak and decorated throughout with tones of green and chalk white. They waited years for their perfect kitchen, so it felt very satisfying to leave them delighted with their new space.

Tidy, Little Kitchen

Nice tidy kitchen installed, including plastering and new flooring throughout the downstairs. Turned around in a week.
