Welcome to The Kitchen Store.
modern German + British kitchens.
Our Story
This is the part where we could tell you our story and maybe show you a picture of our office dog! But most importantly, we want you to know that we really care about what we do, that you’ll be in safe hands, and that you can trust us.
We know that buying a kitchen can be overwhelming sometimes. The doors, the colours, the worktops, appliances, model number, dates and costs. So many choices.
We understand.
The big thing about us is we’re not too big. There’s twenty of us in the team, split across three stores in Brighton and Hove, Horsham and Guildford. We’ve generally worked in the company for a long time, whether it’s a highly experienced designer like Cat, or a trusted fitter like Dave. We want to get it right and for the last twenty years, that’s all that’s mattered to us.
Our job is to support and guide you to create an exceptional new space. To advise you, suggest ideas, organise the installation and bring your design to life. That’s why you would entrust a professional kitchen designer like us.
If you want to know a bit more about our history, you can carry on reading below:
The Kitchen Store was founded by Alan Margetts in 2004 and he still leads the business today. In 2005, the team secured their first Investors in People accreditation, going on to achieve Silver and Gold over the coming years.
As TKS grew, we needed more space, expanding into a larger showroom and office space in Lancing. In 2013, we opened our Brighton & Hove store, followed by our Horsham site in 2016. Our team expanded with the company, encompassing both our wonderful design team and stellar FIRA Gold accredited installers.
Since 2019, we have worked with Nolte and Masterclass, our carefully-chosen German and British kitchen manufacturers. We’ve chosen to work with them exclusively because they deliver high-quality, innovative and beautiful cabinetry, every time.
Our Guildford site opened its doors in 2023, bringing with it a new team and new ideas. Now 20 people strong, we’re excited to continue learning from the wonderful team who make up The Kitchen Store and deliver beautiful kitchens, time after time.
INSTALLATION
We are proud to be the only independent retailer in Sussex to hold the FIRA Gold Installation Certification for the quality of our installation.
We’re dedicated to ensuring you get the best from your TKS kitchen, from design to installation.
That’s why we are proud to be a member of The Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman.
Our showrooms
Our kitchen showrooms in Brighton and Hove, Guildford and Horsham are at the heart of what we do. With display kitchens of all kinds, from classic shaker kitchen to the newest true handleless open-plan space, you’ll be able to find a design that works for you.
