Kitchen fitting
“I employed Abode Renovations to install a new kitchen in our home. Paul proved to be very helpful and knowledgeable and help massively along the way. The end result is beautiful and I can only recommend him and his team of polite and tidy lads. ”
Mrs Keane, Notting Hill, W11
Home Restoration
“When we purchased our house in South West London towards the end of 2011, it was a blank slate: there were walls and walls of magnolia paint with no closets at all and absolutely no character. We met with Paul to explain our vision and were immediately impressed with his creative and imaginative ideas for turning our house into the family home we so desperately wanted to have. Over the course of 2012, the Abode team worked hard to transform our house; in fact, they came up with all kinds of additional ‘touches’ such as a built-in wine rank hidden under the stairs and lighting for their built-in bookshelves, which we would never have considered ourselves! We were also extremely impressed with how flexible Abode were, because our requirements were tricky and our plans changed throughout the renovation. We are absolutely delighted with the final results and particularly pleased with the high quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the Abode team. We would not hesitate to recommend Abode to our family and friends. Our ‘magnolia’ house now has the ‘wow’ factor!”

I’m delighted with my new bathroom, kitchen and the garden is divine – just need some better English weather! Thanks Paul and Team.”
