If the kitchen is, as we believe, the heart of the home, then a kitchen refurbishment could be likened to a heart transplant – a big interruption to the normal rhythm of your household and lifestyle.

Without a kitchen every meal has to either be grabbed on the fly, microwaved or even worse, a takeaway! For those people who simply can’t live without a kitchen, there is an alternative, but it tends to come at an additional cost. Temporary kitchens have seen a growth in demand in recent years, however we have seen customers spending over £4000 on this garden-based solution.

At Kubo Kitchens, we felt there was a gap in the market – something better than a microwave on the coffee table and something that left more of your budget for its intended purpose of refurbishing your kitchen.

Then, one day we received a call out of the blue from a customer saying his planned holiday (to take place while we were working on his kitchen) had been cancelled last minute so their dream kitchen project had to be put on hold. Reflecting on this predicament, we recalled something a customer had said to us last year:

“I’m fed-up with washing dishes in the bath!”

We knew something had to be done to make sure our customers were not only stunned by their brand-new kitchen but also were content during the entire installation process – enter, Kubo Kub21!

Developed by Kubo Kitchens, Kubo Kub21 is designed to help reduce the disruption to your home during a refurbishment. It provides you with a compact solution to continuing day to day life as normal, making delicious home-cooked meals and avoiding washing up in the bath!

Kubo Kub21 can be installed into a conservatory, utility room or garage and is made up of 2 modular units; one with a sink with a running tap and pump for waste, the other with a storage unit and food prep surface, plus free-standing table-top oven and a two ring induction hob.

At just 4ft long for each unit, Kubo Kub21 provides you with a smart solution to your cooking at home during a refurbishment. We also install a thick vinyl covering to protect your floors and we are in conversation with Quooker to bring in their brilliant boiling water taps too for ultimate compact efficiency. Sign up to our newsletter to find out more about how we work with Quooker to bring you the best deals.

The Kubo Kitchens approach to customer service is always, ‘Right first time!’

Kubo Kitchens owner, Russell says, “Customer service is not a tangible product, but treating or customers like I would want to be treated is a key Kubo quality. Kitchen refurbishments can be a real disruption to a family and can upset the normal flow of life. So, I want to do everything I can to minimise that disruption, from speedy installs to reducing inconvenience.”

No one wants to be washing up in the bath, so our new Kubo Kub21 should be coming with us for most of our future projects! Get in touch with Kubo Kitchens today to discuss your options for bringing your dream kitchen to life. The Kubo Kitchens journey is all about finding something that perfectly suits you and your family’s needs, both in style and functionality.

We offer a free 30-minute initial design consultation with the Kubo Kitchens team so you can feel 100% comfortable and confident before committing. We know not everyone is ready to meet face-to-face with social distancing measures which is why we offer our consultations via your preferred method – Zoom, FaceTime, or the good old fashioned phone call.

Highly recommend Kubo Kitchens. Russell and his team did an amazing job . The whole process from start to finish ran like clockwork. Russell did a fantastic job of designing our kitchen/diner to make the most out of the small space that we had. We have ended up with a beautiful kitchen that we love. I cannot thank him and all the other people involved enough.

It has truly transformed our office, and the feedback from the team has been nothing but positive.I'm pleased to report that all works have been completed to our satisfaction and everything is functioning perfectly.Once again, thank you, Russell, for your outstanding work. Your professionalism and skill have made this project a resounding success, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

Russell carried out some bespoke cabinet and fitted kitchen work for me recently and the results are outstanding. He has such an eye for design and detail and was very conscientious throughout the project. I can't recommend his work highly enough. If you are thinking of making improvements to your kitchen, do give him a call.

Bottom line up front... I'd recommend Kubo Kitchens and Russell. Overall, we're really pleased with our kitchen, utility and cloakroom spaces.The photos speak to the quality of finish. Note: there's one "before" and a few "after".Our project was pretty big and Russell was there with us every step of the way over quite a long period of time, bearing with us as we changed our minds and developed our design. He has a method of working that we get along with really well with various phases of his project plan that he'll take you through. We liked his proactive but not pushy approach, he'll get back to you when he says he will and is always open to contact. He'll listen to your requirements, throw out a few suggestions, solve problems and take you on your kitchen journey in a partnership to a design you'll end up loving.We completely gutted our old kitchen, utility and cloakroom, had a small amount of building work and a lot of plumbing and electrical work. Russell project managed all of the contractors for us, helping get through the inevitable tough times and organising everything to run pretty smoothly. We found the Kubo approach of helping customers with temporary mobile kitchen fittings (oven, hob, sink, etc) extremely useful to help get us through the project. Sure, there's a few things we could have improved or done differently but in a project this size we expected snags and these were dealt with very quickly and efficiently when they arose.Big thanks to Russell and the Kubo team, we're really pleased to have worked with you and become part of the Kubo family.

Kubo came highly recommended by a friend, and we weren't disappointed! Very efficient and friendly service from Russell, and our project was carried out promptly and to a high standard - we are really pleased, thank you. Highly recommended by us now too!

On behalf of The Rosemary Foundation, thank you to Russ at Kubo Kitchens for giving your time freely to put in new kitchen units and worktops to two areas at our office. The work was undertaken within a day to minimise disruption and you were clean and tidy throughout. The result being an improved area for our on call nurses to rest and eat while on shift and a more usable kitchen area with increased storage space when we host groups downstairs.

It was 30 years since we last had a new kitchen… and wow, how things have changed! We knew the elements that we wanted (clean modern lines, lots of big drawers, seamless worktops etc) – but we needed someone with flair and vision to pull it all together. Enter Russell at Kubo. He took our ideas, enhanced them, and made it all work within the space available. Talented designer.His virtual reality demo meant that we could walk around our new kitchen and try it out before committing. Once we confirmed, Kubo’s project management was great – the build started and finished on schedule, on budget, and the workmanship is exceptional. He works with a group of very talented tradesmen who were a pleasure to have around.The real test is now … a couple of months later. How do we feel every time we use the kitchen? A one word answer. Thrilled.

I can fully and wholeheartedly recommend Kubo Kitchens to anyone looking for a design and installed kitchen. The use of modern technology to allow you to walk around your new kitchen before you decide was excellent. Once your decision was made the care and precision to bespoke the installation, and the project management were second to none. Thank you Russell and your team.

Kubo Kitchens were really helpful and accommodating for the work that I wanted doing and the space that it needed doing in!Everything was considered and Russell was always available and always contactable. Nothing was too much. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We had a small box room that we wanted to use as a home office. Not knowing how to make best use of the space we reached out to Russell @ KUBO Kitchens. Russell and the team created a bespoke compact home office that did everything we needed and we're thrilled with the result. Russell and the team were extremely friendly and discreet when working in our home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Sam & Alan

Kubo Kitchens upgraded our kitchen recently and my wife and I are extremely happy with the result.All of the trades from plumbers, cabinet makers, electricians and stone people were absolutely superb. Over the years we've had quite a bit of renovation work done and this experience was by far the best we've ever had.All the timescales set were met and our inconvenience without a kitchen was kept to a minimum.We would not hesitate in recommending Kubo kitchens to anybody.Thank you Russell and Kubo

Having received an uninspiring kitchen design from Howdens we asked Russell from Kubo to work with us to come up with a new design. He listened to our every request and the design he produced has exceeded our expectations. He not only presented the design on paper but also surprised us by giving us the opportunity to ‘visit’ our new kitchen using a VR headset! This really helped us imagine how the new kitchen would look and work for us. Russell is very knowledgeable, approachable and easy to work with.

I am absolutely delighted with my new kitchen! Russell was very helpful in the design phase and the VR tool made the plans come to life. It made it so much easier to get a feel for what the finished room would be like than simply looking at 2D drawings and screen shots.The team did a great job and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kubo Kitchens.

We couldn’t recommend Kubo enough, from the initial design consultation all the way through to the finishing touches Russell listened to what we wanted, kept us within budget and kept us informed. We’re thrilled with the finished result.

Having moved into a new house in 2021, we found Kubo Kitchens by chance on Google and contacted Russell to completely replace the old kitchen. This was our first ever kitchen so had no idea what to do, but Russell helped us design a kitchen which fit our needs and within our budget.Due to Covid and related supply chain issues, the work took longer than anticipated to finish, but the brilliant temporary kitchen provided by Russell ensured we weren't inconvenienced too badly. The completed kitchen met our expectations completely and the quality of work and professionalism from Russell and his team was excellent.

Tracy Garland

Would highly recommend Kubo kitchens, from the design and planning through to installation and quality of the kitchen. Russell's support and advice was invaluable. We are now able to enjoy the space!

Russell was excellent throughout the whole kitchen process, from the initial consultation right through to the final quality checks at the end. We are so pleased with our new kitchen and would not hesitate to recommend Kubo Kitchens to others.

Russell and the team re-fitted out kitchen at the start of the year. It was a complete renovation, including all electrics, plastering, flooring and fitting. The team did an excellent job. They were considerate, careful and tidy. The quality of the preparation finish was excellent. The journey with Russell to the final design was clear and he took into account just what we wanted. There was a defect on the worktop installed and this was replaced completely without question. We are delighted with the results and look forward to the kitchen serving us well for many years to come.

We have just had our kitchen designed and fitted by Kubo. We are thrilled with the finished result and were very happy with the work that was done. There were a few challenges along the way but the kubo team were able to sort out all these issues with great care and professionalism. A great service and a diligent team all round thank you!

We feel very lucky to have been put in touch with Russell at Kubo when we were kicking off our kitchen refit. We knew straight away that he was the right fit for us. We had a clear idea on what we wanted and had a plan already drawn up by an (award-winning) designer, but Russell added to that excellently and made some practical adjustments that the previous designer had missed.We are unashamedly picky about the details - and there are so many decisions to make as part of a kitchen install - but Russell was helpful and enthusiastic throughout (and not to mention patient!). He managed the whole project excellently, putting us in touch with some excellent trades people along the way. During a difficult year for undertaking work such as this, Russell dealt with circumstances outside of his control as best he could.It was by no stretch a straightforward project - a complete refit in a cottage (with all the quirks that come with old buildings), which also involved removing the center of our chimney to take a range cooker. We are so very pleased with the end result though, and would thoroughly recommend Russell to anyone.
