Life Trade Reviews 12

Amazing company with a lovely showroom, lovely furnishing, very helpful lads - Shaun and Cameron were amazing, helping with everything from conceptual design through to supplying all the parts. Would definitely work with them again.

From the warm greeting, to the excellent build, design and quality of the kitchens in the showroom, truly top class.
The transparency and clarity around the process was superb. If you are looking for quality, value and professionalism, your search is over. Life Trade will now always be my go to for anything kitchen related.

As someone who runs a high-end design-build consultancy, I've worked with most of the major suppliers over the years — and I can say with confidence that Life Trade is in a league of its own.
They are above and beyond Howdens in every respect. Howdens markets itself as trade-only, but in practice, that isn't really the case — and from start to finish, the process with them is rarely smooth, with pricing that doesn't reflect the experience. Then there's Wren, which dominates the high street largely because they offer 0% interest over four years — so many people default to it for that reason alone, not necessarily for quality or service.
Life Trade is different. I have never come across a company that has everything in one place and can fully customise what you need. And it's not just kitchens — they also supply beautifully made bedroom and office units so that you can carry a consistent style and quality throughout your entire home. The only thing they don't provide is the property to put it all in!
Even their entry-level kitchen includes everything — and it genuinely feels high-end. Then there's the 1909 range, which is all solid wood and rivals a bespoke kitchen worth well over £40,000. Whatever your taste, whatever your budget, they have you covered.
What truly sets them apart is the people.
Shaun Barkus is the person to work with. He brings years of experience but is never stuck in a box — he's creative, solution-driven, and consistently delivers above and beyond. He will work with you from the very first conversation right through to completion, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
Behind that level of service is a culture that comes from the top. Paul Berryman looks after his team like a big family, and that care naturally extends to every trade professional and customer who walks through the door. You feel it.
Life Trade should be the first stop and the last stop for anyone looking to create a beautiful kitchen, bedroom, or home office. Nothing is impossible with them — and that ethos aligns with exactly what my own company stands for.

Was a really well hosted event. Very friendly and informal but also professional and informative. Learned a lot more about kitchen options and the company itself, which could prove to be very useful going forward with future my clients and options for them.
Very well catered for in both food and drink ( wish I'd had more time to indulge!)
Some great connections made with other attendees and would definitely attend any further events planned.

It was a pleasure attending the Life Trade open evening. The presentation was detailed and the showroom tour gave a great insight into their kitchen, bedroom, and home office ranges—all excellent quality.

A big thank you to Paul Berryman, James Day, Shaun Barkus, and Cameron Juchacz for such an informative and enjoyable evening. I’m looking forward to the next one!

Shaun and Cameron are the best go to people for installing or improving the bedroom or kitchen or for that matter anything inside your house. Absolutely nice people, great work, extremely high quality. If you are someone who engaged in the business of building a kitchen or bedroom or a house - definitely worth to visit Life Trade as they have one of the biggest showrooms in England filled with amazing products.

The product we viewed in the showroom was exactly what we wanted and was very high class. What made the project and the process work so well was the design stage , the drawings and the the ‘fit’

I've used Life Trade a few times now and I do not have a bad word to say about them. Their complete kitchens are quality, their service is friendly and efficient and their pricing is competitive. Keep it up!

Realy rates these guys onto my forth project with them three kitchens and a full dressing room (wardrobe) project. James & Olivia and the whole team have been faultless. The products are superb lots of opinions. Big one for anyone in the know is the packaging and transportion, it all so well rapped and packed and the lorry guys are great very professional which is refreshing!
Definitely very highly recommend

We have had a very positive experience working with Life Kitchens. Their team is professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Orders are handled efficiently and delivered on time, with great attention to detail and quality.

What stands out most is their reliability and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. It is refreshing to work with a supplier who genuinely values customer satisfaction.

We would definitely recommend them and look forward to continuing our partnership in the future.

We have purchased several kitchens now and even some bedroom furniture through Life Trade and the experience has been superb!

Right from the initial consultation meetings where all our requirements and needs were listened too, and brought to life in beautiful design drawings Paul was fantastic. Even the payment and delivery experience is second to none all the staff couldn't be more polite and helpful, Olivia is a credit to the team. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Some of the best customer service I have ever experienced.

The quality of the kitchens and all the fittings supplied is also fantastic! We get lots of compliments.

Looking forward to continually working with the team
