"Kitchens created for family moments,
built on experience"
about us
At Strumskis, we design, handcraft, and install elegant bespoke kitchens that combine timeless style with exceptional functionality. Each kitchen is custom-made to reflect our clients’ individual tastes and lifestyle, using only the highest-quality materials and precise craftsmanship.
Founded in 2023 by Carlos Strumskis, Strumskis Kitchens (YCP-UK Ltd) evolved from construction into a luxury kitchen specialist.
Why Choose Strumskis Kitchens
I guide my clients through every stage of their kitchen renovation, combining independent advice with clear project management to bring structure and practical experience to planning and decision-making — helping them start in the right place, understand what to look for, and avoid costly mistakes before work begins.
Built on Real Installation Experience
My approach is shaped by years of hands-on kitchen installation and project management — not theory or sales training. I’ve worked through the full reality of kitchen renovations on site: tight spaces, imperfect buildings, last-minute changes, and the practical challenges that only appear once work begins.
Over the course of my career, I’ve made the mistakes that many homeowners and even professionals make when they’re learning. I’ve underestimated preparation work, trusted plans that looked good on paper but failed on site, and experienced first hand how small early decisions can lead to major problems later. That experience is invaluable — because it means my clients don’t have to learn the hard way.
Every recommendation I give is based on lessons already paid for with time, effort, and problem-solving on real projects. I know which details genuinely matter, which ones can wait, and which choices often lead to unnecessary cost, delays, or frustration.
Clients rely on me because I don’t approach projects with assumptions. I approach them with perspective. I understand where projects typically go wrong and how to structure decisions so that kitchens are not just well designed, but realistically planned, properly coordinated, and smoothly delivered.
This experience allows me to guide clients with confidence, common sense, and honesty — helping them avoid mistakes I’ve already made, so their renovation journey is calmer, clearer, and far more predictable.
Independent Advice and Structured Project Management
Unlike showrooms or kitchen fitters focused on selling a product or securing an installation, I offer flexible support based on how involved you want me to be. Clients can choose between independent consultation, structured project management, or full kitchen installation.
I review layouts, quotes, scope, sequencing, and technical decisions with the care and discipline of a well-managed project, helping you make confident choices before you commit.
Whether you engage me for advice, management, or full installation, my focus remains the same: clarity, control, and a refined outcome.
Early Decisions Prevent Expensive Problems
Most kitchen issues are not caused by poor workmanship, but by weak early planning and poor project coordination. Layout conflicts, unrealistic timelines, missing preparation work, and unclear responsibilities are common causes of stress and added cost.
Our approach focuses on early-stage decisions and project structure, when changes are still straightforward and affordable. Good project management at the beginning saves time, money, and frustration later.
Designed for Real Family Life
Kitchens are not showpieces — they are working spaces at the centre of family life. We design and assess kitchens based on how people actually live, move, cook, and gather. Practicality, flow, and long-term comfort are as important as appearance.
Every recommendation is made with daily family use in mind, not just visual impact.
Clear Communication and Accountability
I believe good communication is the foundation of a smooth kitchen renovation. When you work with me, you deal directly with one person throughout — someone who knows your project in detail and takes personal responsibility for the outcome.
I’m easy to reach and always make time to respond to calls and messages. Questions are welcomed, concerns are addressed early, and nothing is rushed or left unclear. I care deeply about every project I take on, because each one represents my work, my standards, and my reputation. Every job is a reflection of who I am professionally, and that care shows in the way decisions are made and details are handled.
This personal, attentive approach gives clients confidence and peace of mind from the first conversation through to completion.

Great team, honest and reliable. I'd recommend Carlos to anyone wanting a quality service at a very competitive price.
I’ve finally found a builder that actually turns up when he says he will. He has done me a few jobs now and I would definitely recommend this company Good work quality and I will definitely use again.
Carlos was fast, tidy and the work was excellent. What made him really stand out was the fact he checked what time the baby needed to nap and scheduled his work around that. Absolute legend.
I’ve had a new fitted kitchen, fitted bedroom wardrobes, flooring, bathroom and radiators (plus other small jobs). They have gone above and beyond to be kind, considerate and helpful. It’s such a challenge trying to find reliable people and I am extremely pleased to recommend this team.

Carlos is an excellent, hardworking person whose perfectionism was greatly appreciated as was his work.Carlos and his co-worker both worked hard to complete the work and also went far beyond what was expected when unexpected problems arose.My partner and I are both happy with the skill and dedication given to us during the kitchen refurbishment.

I cannot recommend this company high enough they did an amazing job of my kitchen refurbishment my kitchen looks far more modern and it looks beautiful.
I cannot recommend Yorkshire Construction Projects Ltd highly enough! They did an absolutely outstanding job fitting our German kitchen and transforming the space into something truly special. Karlos and Mentos were phenomenal—handling everything from scratch with incredible skill and attention to detail. They removed our old kitchen, scrapped it efficiently, and took care of decorating, fitting new lights, plumbing, and installing the new kitchen flawlessly. The entire process was seamless, and the results are beyond our expectations. Professional, reliable, and exceptionally talented—this team is a cut above the rest. If you’re looking for top-quality work, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!
Carlos and team provided a full kitchen refit at my property (full rip out, design, and installation). They were very professional throughout. Carlos provided clear communication of the programme, costs, and design (with a 3D render). The works were at a good price; it was always kept very neat and tidy (with thorough clean up after each day); and he provided good recommendations on design.I would recommend Yorkshire Construction Project.

Yes. I can supply kitchens and appliances as part of a full installation project if that suits the client. Many clients prefer this, as it allows planning, supply, and installation to be aligned from the start.

Yes. Many clients work with me purely for independent kitchen advice before selecting a fitter, showroom, or supplier. You are free to proceed with any provider you choose. My role at this stage is to help you understand your options and make confident, informed decisions.
The best time is before signing contracts, ordering a kitchen, or starting building work. Early advice has the greatest impact and can prevent expensive changes later in the project.

Most kitchen problems are caused by early planning decisions, not installation quality. An independent kitchen consultant helps you assess layouts, costs, and preparation work before work begins, when mistakes are still easy to correct and far less expensive.
Get in touch to discuss where you are in your planning. I’ll explain the options available — consultation, project management, or full installation — and help you decide which level of support best suits your project.
