Hello 2020 – Looking back on 2019

A big hello to 2020 from Haus12 – Let’s start by looking back at our 2019 highlights

Awards

At the start of the year we were honoured to receive yet another award – Best of Houzz Service 2019.

This was only possible with thanks to all the customers who take out time to review our services on the popular online interiors portal Houzz.co.uk.

We’re proud to have won this award for the 4th consecutive year which is testament to our commitment to delivering the best customer experience.

Thank you to all our customers for all their 5 star reviews throughout 2019.

New starter

This year Haus12 also welcomed a new addition to the team, Natalia Cladera McCormack.

Natalia is an experienced and talented kitchen designer having worked for many years for an exclusive kitchen company in Mallorca, designing high end kitchens for the luxury homes on the island.

Natalia joined John in Germany in September to experience the 2019 Hausfair – the annual kitchen expo. Natalia has successfully relocated back to her birth town of Newcastle and she is looking forward to bringing her knowledge of continental kitchen design to Haus12.

Cooking demo events

Throughout the year we’ve hosted cooking demonstrations from BORA and The Demo Chef this year. Both were well attended and were fantastic opportunities to introduce new appliances, new recipes and catch up with our customers over the year.

showroom updates

The showroom has seen some changes over the year with a brand new displays to the rear of the showroom – featuring a strong industrial stainless steel finish as well as a traditional painted frame finish in the a rich blue with a pantry style drinks cabinet.

2019 project highlights

So it’s been another a busy year with kitchen installations all over the north east from Hexham to Teesside. In terms of kitchen trends2019 saw lot of greys – both soft and dark accompanying striking and sleek concrete industrial finishes to the very bold on-trend black matt finishes.

Here are just a few highlights of the projects completed in 2019.

John, and his infectious enthusiasm, made the design process exciting and very enjoyable. The 3d modelling made the... process very transparent and allowed us to fully understand the implications of any adjustment to the layout and detailing. The installation team were superb, extremely accommodating and committed to high quality.The whole process from start to finish and after handover has been great. Additional tweeks being accommodated without fuss and always to the timescales agreed.The quality of the products has been exactly as expected so hope that we have opportunities to work with John and his team in the futureread more

After seeing Haus 12’s work online, we called for an initial consultation with John, who is really personable and... friendly. The showroom demonstrates the fantastic quality of the kitchens and we were really keen on the anti fingerprint door fronts available, which we’ve not seen anywhere else. John put careful thought into the design, meeting our requirements and coming up with great ideas we would not have thought of, all within budget. His knowledge of the products is first rate. John’s team of skilled workers did a fantastic job - they’re all extremely hardworking and nothing was ever too much trouble. Special mention to Malcolm, and also to Lee for coming back at 8pm to fit the final piece when it was delivered. The finished kitchen looks amazing and we’re so pleased with how it turned out. We will be looking to remodel our utility room in future and wouldn’t hesitate to use Haus 12 again.read more

John will design the entire project or work with your own suggestions - nothing is too much trouble to ensure you end up with the kitchen you dreamt of. His fitter, Lee, is meticulous in his work and the standard of finish is superb. Our project has recently completed and we are thrilled beyond words with the final result.read more

Being asked the question once our new kitchen had been installed "are you happy with the final result?" was the... simplest of all questions to answer! "We absolutely adore it!" At first for the first two weeks it felt like we were living in swanky rented accommodation, since the transformation was massive.All the family want to congregate within it now, which is super because it has extracted the kids from out of their bedrooms into a much more enjoyable and family social environment. This has got to be one of the largest perks and certainly worth it all.From the planning and designing stages John was extremely thorough, methodical and creative. Very little did we want to change from what was initially proposed. He took all our ideas into consideration and simply converted the project into something we adore and will enjoy for many years to come.The fitters again were super, they arrived on time and worked whatever hours were necessary to get the job complete and to a very high standard i would like to add.We would certainly recommend John and his team, he's a credit to the industry.read more

John and his team designed and installed our kitchen three years ago, and it is still amazing. John spent a lot of time... with us to see how we use our kitchen and other rooms and designed a fantastic and light family space, designing ways of changing our bad habits for clutter and surfaces covered in gadgets! We still love our kitchen and it works really well for us. Now, time for the bathrooms...read more

We walked into John’s showroom after just cancelling a kitchen from a high street retailer for poor customer service.... We quickly realised this was where we wanted our kitchen from. John listened and put our minds at rest as we had concerns which came from the previous company. We chopped and changed our minds but nothing was too much trouble, he took the time to guide us as his knowledge and attention to detail is second to none in German kitchens. We returned many times and received the same standard of service from the first meeting. John spent hours with us perfecting our design and communication was constant. John goes that extra mile which was greatly appreciated.Installation. Delivery of kitchen turned up at correct time slot. No waiting around, when John said things would arrive they did.Lee ( kitchen fitter) was an absolute pleasure turned up when he said, his attention to detail in fitting the kitchen was amazing. Very professional and never left without leaving the space immaculate.This was our experience with the electricians, plumbers, plasterers and decorator they all went that extra mile. The whole process couldn’t have went smoother. I cannot thank John and his team enough. Our kitchen is everything we have dreamt of and more. Thank you John and all the Haus 12 team.read more

We had John recommmended to us for our full kitchen refit. Even though COVID struck when we had knocked 1 wall down, he... was able to keep the project going safely. We are so happy with the result. John had lots of ideas that made much better use of the space than our original vision.read more
