Planning a new kitchen? Here’s exactly how we take your ideas and turn them into a space that feels like home - with zero pressure, and no guesswork.
When you’re investing in a new kitchen, you’re not just buying cabinets and worktops - you’re buying clarity. Confidence. And the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from working with people who listen.
That’s why we’ve made our design consultation process simple, collaborative, and - most importantly - personal. No scripts. No showroom hard-sell. Just a clear step-by-step that makes designing your kitchen feel exciting (not overwhelming).
Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a free consultation with Leith Kitchens:
Step 1: It Starts With a Quick Conversation
Most people first find us through our website or an ad. Once you reach out, we’ll follow up for a relaxed, informal chat - either by phone, video or in person.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’ll guide the conversation and ask a few helpful questions:
- What’s not working in your current kitchen?
- How do you use the space day-to-day?
- What styles or features are you drawn to?
From there, we can begin shaping a design brief that actually reflects how you live - not just what looks good in a brochure.
Step 2: We Come to You and Measure Up
Next, one of our designers will visit your home to take accurate measurements and get a feel for the space in person.
We look at:
- Wall dimensions and ceiling heights
- Where the light comes in
- Structural quirks or obstacles
- Existing plumbing or electrics
This step ensures the kitchen we design isn’t just beautiful - it’s made to fit, function, and flow perfectly in your home.
Step 3: You Get a 3D Design - Built Around You
With your measurements and brief, we build a full CAD design - a photorealistic preview of your future kitchen. You’ll see the layout, materials, colours, appliances and finishes all brought together in one clear visual.
It’s not a generic template. It’s your kitchen, custom-designed to your space, lifestyle and budget.
Step 4: We Refine It Together
Once you’ve seen the first draft, we’ll go through it together - either in person or at your home, depending on what suits you best.
Want to change the handles? Try a different worktop finish? Explore another layout option? No problem.
We’ll revise the design until it feels right. No pressure, no clock-watching - just thoughtful collaboration to make sure every detail earns its place.
Step 5: We Arrange a Trusted Fitting Team
Once the design’s finalised, we handle the next stage: fitting.
We’ll match you with a trusted installation team who’ve worked with us for years. We coordinate dates, deliveries, and ensure every aspect of the job runs smoothly from start to finish.
You won’t need to chase trades or manage timelines - we handle the logistics so you can focus on the result.
Step 6: We Follow Up - and Finish Properly
After fitting, we don’t disappear.
We check in to make sure everything’s as it should be. If there are any small snags, we get them sorted quickly and professionally.
Because a kitchen isn’t complete when the last cabinet’s in - it’s complete when you’re standing in it, smiling.
