Charles Church kitchens

Oak84

We are currently going through the process of buying a Charles Church home.
Unfortunately when we put our reservation fee down the kitchen had been chosen and we can’t change.
Does anyone know who the supplier is for the kitchens?! I am tempted to replace the cupboard doors to something not as vile!
Any info would be great as sales coordinator not forthcoming with info!

Possibly Symphony Group. I believe they supply a lot of developers. They have a lot of ranges though.

They definitely supply Persimmon, who are the parent company of Charles Church.

We bought a Persimmon house a couple of years ago and wanted an extra kitchen unit, so ordered it directly from Symphony.

You might find to buy direct they charge a rediculous price though. Still worth checking but if standard size doors you could use any company really

If you contact Symphony with the development and plot number they should be able to tell you if they have supplied it - they will also tell you what it currently has and what you will need and prices to change and supply a brochure for options

It isn't cheap though. Not sure on the size of your kitchen (ours was very big for a new build) and it was around the #7.5k for the doors and end panels. We were lucky as I had refused to buy the house with the kitchen that the sales guys had chosen so I got the cost back as an incentive. We had to pay the fitting though.

Edited to add - They might not be standard size doors (ours weren't) so didn't have the option of just buying the doors off the high street. We went with a local company who had them made to order and worked out a fair bit cheaper for a better quality door

Thanks all!
After lots of haggling they let us change it all!

You were lucky.

We were interested in a Persimmon house some time ago, but the blancemange pink en-suite was a non-starter. Of course, if the sanitary ware and the wall tiles had been fitted, it would have been a different matter - but the whole lot was still in boxes in the bedroom.

We asked the sales rep if they could be changed for white, but he just said 'what you see is what you get'.

We took our money elsewhere.
