Why Our KBSA Accreditation Matters to You
The Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association, known as the KBSA, is the only national trade body for the kitchen and bathroom sector in the UK. Founded in 1978, the organisation sets standards for design, installation, and customer service across hundreds of independent retailers nationwide.
We joined the KBSA in 2021 and hold KBSA Trustmark accreditation, which offers our clients verified assurance that they are working with a reputable company committed to quality and consumer protection.
What is KBSA?
The KBSA unites independent kitchen firms and top manufacturers within a professional network. All KBSA members are required to adhere to an Approved Code of Conduct and are subject to ongoing monitoring to uphold standards.
This government-supported scheme assists homeowners in finding trustworthy specialists for kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom projects. KBSA kitchen companies meet rigorous entry criteria, showing long-term financial stability and dedication to professional standards.
For consumers, choosing a KBSA member ensures working with businesses that have been independently verified. The association provides dispute resolution services, deposit protection, and a customer charter that offers clear safeguards throughout your project.
Before choosing a kitchen company, visit their showroom and look for the KBSA logo and membership certificate on display. This visible confirmation helps you identify businesses that operate within the association's framework of accountability and consumer protection.
KBSA Plymouth
As a KBSA member in Plymouth, we meet the same rigorous standards as KBSA kitchen specialists across the country. Our membership reassures clients that they are working with a company that has been vetted and approved by the industry's only national trade organisation.
Many KBSA members, including ourselves, also hold TrustMark accreditation. This government-backed quality scheme offers an extra level of consumer protection, covering work carried out in and around your home.
Why KBSA Membership Matters
KBSA membership is more than just a certificate displayed on the wall. The organisation offers continuous business support, legal and HR advice, and market-leading terms and conditions that safeguard both businesses and consumers.
For our clients, this membership means working with a company that operates within a framework of accountability. If issues occur during or after a project, the KBSA dispute resolution service offers an independent way to resolve them.
The association also hosts an annual Designer Awards ceremony honouring excellence in kitchen and bathroom design. In 2025, we received the KBSA Customer Service Award, which is awarded solely based on customer feedback rather than industry judging panels.
Raising Industry Standards
Our Managing Director Nathan Damarell actively collaborates with the KBSA to enhance standards throughout the kitchen industry. His focus is on promoting greater professionalism and regulation to ensure homeowners receive proper protection and quality service.
This commitment to industry improvement directly reflects how we operate our business. The transparency, integrity, and depth of knowledge we provide to clients align with the KBSA's mission to uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship across the sector.
When you choose a KBSA member for your kitchen project, you gain access to an independent organisation dedicated to protecting your interests. This provides an extra layer of reassurance
