Company opens new showroom to boost its quality home service

“This additional location means we can now show our expertise in fitted bathrooms, which our customers have been requesting for years,” says company director Matthew Dobbins.

The new showroom is open Monday to Saturday from 10am until 4pm and is fitted out with Atkinsons’ bespoke kitchen and bedroom furniture, as well as quality bathroom fittings and tiles. Its location is ideal for the well-established company, which already has showrooms in Bradford and Harrogate.

One happy customer from Ilkley says: “Over the years I’ve used Atkinsons for many kitchen and fitted bedroom projects in my own home, as well as investment properties, so I’m really pleased they now also offer bathrooms from their new Guiseley showroom.”

Atkinsons Hand-Crafted Furniture also offers tailor-made, value-for-money solutions for refurbishing tired old kitchens and bedrooms, going beyond the usual option of merely replacing doors.

The company can strip down existing units to their “skeleton”, using special facilities to manufacture made-to-measure replacement doors, sides, fronts worktops and fascias. For those wanting to change the layout of a room, additional matching full units can be constructed.

The skeleton of most kitchen and bedroom furniture remains in perfectly good condition even when the outer surfaces have become tatty, making this process an economical yet effective way of updating a room.

An additional benefit is that installation time is reduced, meaning the project will run swiftly and without the upheaval normally associated with replacing such units, with completion normally within two days.

Atkinsons’ head office and factory is next to the football stadium in Bradford and has a showroom open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. Another key market is North Yorkshire, where the 2,000 sq ft showroom on Harrogate Business Park, off Wetherby Road, has on display the new range of easyslide wardrobe doors.

The Harrogate showroom is open seven days a week, 10am to 4pm, and enables customers to view many different styles of kitchens and bedrooms, both contemporary and traditional.

The company also has a showroom display in the Andrews Electrical store, Coney Lane, Keighley – near Colin Appleyard motorbikes – which is open Monday to Saturday. Each location provides something different and is the perfect place for customers to start drawing up their wish-lists. There’s even a range of made-to-measure home office/study furniture, ideal for those working from home.

“During these difficult financial times we have had to add new products and ideas to ensure we have a kitchen or bedroom to suit everyone’s budget,” says Craig Atkinson, company director.

Designers are on hand at the showrooms and customers can see computer graphics of how a new kitchen might look, to help give them a clear idea. In addition, they are also invited to use their own plans or request a home visit at their convenience, when a surveyor can visit with a variety of samples and quote for a makeover.

“The message is: Whatever you decide, you will get both value for money and convenience in breathing new life into your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom,” says Mr Atkinson.

Think twice before throwing away the past – the quality of the units and surfaces that came with your home may actually be better than you could obtain from a modern DIY store.

Perfection is guaranteed at Atkinsons, thanks to the combination of the latest technology and experienced craftsmen. There are more than 200 designs to choose from, so why not visit a showroom today?
