“As Project Director of the Lotus Eco Village, I have seen at first hand the development of CustomSet Kitchens".
Tim took the cabinetry plans of award-winning architect, Ben Gilpin, and added his own touches to evolve the design of the kitchens, entertainment units, built in wardrobes and freestanding shelving units.
It is not an easy thing to take a two-dimensional plan and create a three-dimensional object to the high standard achieved whilst bringing the architect’s flair to life. And at the same time meet the budget demands which exist in a multi-build project.
Tim has been receptive to change requests and accepted the pressures of a multi-build project hit twice by covid issues and stock outages with a calm demeanour – an important attribute as the last major supplier on the job when time pressure is at its most critical coming into client handover. The inevitable demand for changes from clients and call backs have been handled professionally at all times.
CustomSet Kitchens has become a valued partner of this project which consists of 21 houses, a community centre and visitor apartment. I look forward to working with them on our 8-townhouse stage 2 development and beyond.”

Tim is amazing! I absolutely love my kitchen and speciality joinery items designed and made especially for the Lotus Eco Village houses. Two years in and it all looks as good as the day I moved in. Brilliant!

Had a really positive experience with Tim, drawing up plans with me and keeping me informed as he created a gorgeous unit for my living space. Beautiful bamboo with elegant lines. I love it. Would highly recommend.

Tim helped me when I was in a bind and I needed some cabinetry for my business really quickly. Tim's a legend and stayed late so I could get my shop setup by the time the mall opened the next day. He went above and beyond. He made the very sturdy roller cabinet and the milkshake station for us. Thanks Tim and Jinz!
