“Richard from Made by 68 has now completed two projects for us and is in the process of completing a third. He most recently designed and installed a walk in wardrobe for us, utilizing an under used but very run down room. From the initial design consultation to the finishing touches, Richard is extremely professional and easy to deal with. He listened carefully to my ideas and then came back with detailed plans. A lot of preparatory work was required and Richard helped supply his own plumbers and electricians. Richard really listened all the way.through the project but also guided us when we needed it. The materials he uses are excellent quality and he has a fantastic eye for design and attention to detail. The installation of the wardrobes took place over a couple of days and the finished project is fantastic. Richard came back after the carpet had been laid just to see the final look and to make a small adjustment. I highly recommend Richard, he is extremely personable and extremely professional.”

“Richard was very professional and kept us updated on all steps of the process from initial enquiry, through to quote and sign off. Our brief was to build and fit traditional alcove units in our home. Thre requirements were well understood and clearly relayed back to us during quote stage. All the normally messy build and paint work was done offsight and the units were delivered and fitted on same day. We are very happy that we went with Made By 68 and would use them for other custom works in future.”
— Peter, New Barnet
“I cannot praise Richard highly enough. Thoroughly efficient and professional from start to finish. He is brimming with practical suggestions, and is great designer and craftsman. He provides detailed tailor-made quotes and the standard of his work is exemplary. A true perfectionist with a real eye for detail. Richard originally built some bespoke fitted wardrobes a couple of years ago, designed in keeping with the period features of our house. And more recently he’s built some fitted cupboards with wine storage to wrap around our fridge freezer. We also have a small pantry which is partly circular - an awkward space. Richard fitted some floating shelves and a fitted cabinet with shelves and granite worktop and a new door, making the space much more usable. He also fitted a floating bookshelf with glass bookends to house some of my many cookbooks. We are thrilled with everything Richard has designed and fitted for us. He is trustworthy and reliable and a really nice guy!”

“The media wall unit designed and built by Made by 68 is absolutely perfect in every respect. We had a challenging situation with a gigantic television we like to swivel often, several plugs, a wall-mounted alarm, etc. The creative solutions to all of these issues has yielded a functional and very beautiful wall, the focal point of our living space. The workmanship is top notch and the aesthetic of the unit gets compliments regularly. We very much enjoyed working with the team and installation was quick, clean and pleasant. Highly recommend this company for any project no matter how complicated.”

“Listens to client - offers helpful design and materials ideas throughout the process but works to get clear agreement with the client up front, minimising project delays and late changes
Good communication - explains the process, stages of work, whether something will be delivered by him or a 3rd party
On time, on budget - Sets a clear timetable for the work and sticks to it - our kitchen demolition and rebuild was scheduled for two weeks and delivered in two weeks
Problem solver - kitchen installation in old houses inevitably comes with unforeseen challenges. Richard and his team worked to minimise the impact of challenges on the design and escalated quickly and clearly if a decision was required
Overall, we were pleased with the process, start to finish and are very pleased with the outcome. The kitchen works really well from a practical standpoint and it has the look that we have long wanted to achieve.”
— Rob & Kate, High Barnet, Hertfordshire
“Richard has made us the most beautiful kitchen, we couldn’t be happier with it! He is brilliantly talented, shows amazing attention to detail and is a great communicator, which makes him really lovely to work with. Everything went to plan and on time and we in particular love our new in built bespoke made kitchen/breakfast bar/table. It saved us so much space, looks brilliant and totally exceeded our expectations. We are altogether delighted and wouldn’t hesitate in using Richard again or indeed recommending him to anyone we know. Thank you Richard!”
— Georgie, Barnet, London

“The service provided by Richard at ‘Made by 68’ was nothing short of faultless! It was refreshing to deal with someone who was prompt in all communication, detailed & imaginative in their design, making sure to clarify each point to ensure we got exactly what we required. Most impressive though was the workmanship, the attention to detail and quality were of the highest standard, Richard is very much a perfectionist! I sit here now at my new, bespoke, hand made writing desk 100% satisfied with the quality and value for money. I cannot recommend enough!”

“I used Richard at Made By 68 Ltd to plan, design, build and then fit my kitchen in a new extension. He came up with a number of solutions, not just one standard layout and was happy to listen to what we wanted and work with us at all times during the project. His attention to detail is amazing and I would have no hesitation recommending him to anybody who is looking to start a new project.”
— Alan & Gemma, High Barnet, Herts
“We have used Richard on two separate occasions now. He made bespoke drawers for our kitchen cabinets. They were completely perfect in every single way. He was a consumate professional during the entire process and we wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again. Not every day you can say that!!!!”

“Richard installed a new home office due to adapting to working from home in summer 2020 and it is the best investment I have made in my house. Not only was it a seamless process , he suggested great idea’s on what would work based on my needs as well as materials and design. He came when he planned to and completed in the time we discussed. I would recommend Made by 68 and Richard. Thanks Richard”
