Our story

Big-brand experience, built into an independent.

Turnwell Kitchens was founded by Andy Barwell and Paul Turner, two people who have spent their careers in the kitchen industry — more than thirty years between them — and who previously owned and ran four Kutchenhaus showrooms. They know exactly how the national brands design, plan and manufacture a kitchen, because they did it for years.

When they set Turnwell up, they kept the parts of that world worth keeping — the CAD-led design discipline, the manufacturing standards, the precision — and left behind the parts that never served the customer. The result is a traditional kitchen specialist that feels like a local firm but works to a big-brand standard: shaker and in-frame kitchens, hand-made to order across three cabinet tiers, in FSC-certified timber.

Incorporated in 2023 and trading from 2024, Turnwell now runs showrooms in Chichester, Romsey, Petersfield and Whiteley, with its own design team and its own in-house fitters. In its first years it was named a KBB Focus 25 Finalist for Retailer of the Year — and what clients write about most is the design: designers who listened, improved on the brief, and cracked a layout that five other companies couldn't.

Credentials & guarantees

The things we'll put in writing.

1-year workmanship warranty

Every installation is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty. If something needs attention after the fit, it’s our name on it — because our own team fitted it.

In-house installation teams

Your kitchen is fitted by our own installers under our Operations & Installation Manager, Ross Lobacz — not a rotating crew of subcontractors.

0.1mm CNC precision

Kitchens are planned in CAD and manufactured to 0.1mm CNC precision, so what you sign off is exactly what turns up on install day.

FSC-certified timber

The timber in our kitchens is FSC-certified — sourced from responsibly managed forests, and hand-made to order rather than mass-produced.

KBB Focus 25 Finalist

Named a Finalist for Retailer of the Year at the KBB Focus 25 awards — independent recognition of the way we design and build.

A registered UK company

Turnwell Kitchens Ltd, company no. 14899573, VAT registered 460 0689 96 — a real, accountable business you can look up.

The people you'll meet

Founders, designers and fitters.

Founder

Andy Barwell

Andy co-founded Turnwell after years at the sharp end of the kitchen industry, including running Kutchenhaus showrooms. He brings the design discipline and manufacturing standards of the national brands to an independent that answers to its customers rather than a head office.

Founder

Paul Turner

Paul co-founded Turnwell alongside Andy, sharing more than thirty years of combined experience between them. Together they built Turnwell around a simple idea: give people the quality of a big-brand kitchen with the care, honesty and continuity of a local firm.

Showroom Manager

Melissa

Melissa runs the Chichester showroom and is often the first person you'll meet. She keeps the space welcoming, arranges design appointments and makes sure every enquiry is looked after from the first visit onwards.

Showroom Assistant

Nina

Nina supports the showroom and the design team day to day, helping clients browse door styles, colours and worktops and keeping projects moving smoothly behind the scenes.

Operations & Installation Manager

Ross Lobacz

Ross leads operations and our in-house installation teams, coordinating deliveries and fitters so each kitchen is installed cleanly, on schedule and to the standard our workmanship warranty stands behind.

Kitchen Designers

Iain, Steve, Erin, Mushtak & Allie

Our designers each carry out in-home appointments, produce the CAD layouts and see projects through to completion. Clients regularly name them in their reviews — for listening properly, improving on the brief, and getting a difficult room right first time.

In clients' own words

Every star earned on the job.

We had been to at least 5 other kitchen companies before Turnwells but none of them gave us the design we wanted. Iain came out and cracked it first time with a fantastic design including units, a peninsula, brick slips, a log burner and seating for 8.

Mushtak was genuinely interested in the project we were planning, and offered helpful builds on the general design we had in mind which helped to elevate our plans. Other suppliers we spoke to would simply plan out what we asked, Mushtak made our plans better.

Steve attentively listened to my needs and perfectly captured the concept... Steve's meticulous attention to detail made the installation seamless, and his craftsmanship is outstanding. The quality of my kitchen is exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend Turnwell Kitchens.

Dee Brown · May 2025 · via Google

The staff at Turnwell were by far the most helpful and accommodating out of all the showrooms we visited previously. Turnwell came up with a creative design and we were pleasantly surprised with the price.
