40 Years In The Making
In 2023 we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary year and we will be very proud to reach this milestone. Many of our staff have been with us for the majority of this time and we have designed and fitted thousands of Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms during this period! Below is a brief history of the company.
1983, When It All Began...
Hastings Kitchen Showroom was opened in St.Leonards-on Sea in 1983 by Tim Burgess and was first opened as a Kitchen studio selling Mobalpa Kitchens from France. Two years after opening, the adjacent shop was purchased and the company diversified into fitted bedrooms.
Branching Out With Quality Bathrooms...
After 6 years of successful trading in St.Leonards the second showroom was opened in Heathfield in 1988 and the company diversified into quality Bathrooms. The name was then changed to HKS Kitchens – Bedrooms – Bathrooms.
1989: Our Third Showroom Opens In Eastbourne
The Eastbourne showroom was the third HKS showroom to be opened in 1989. Matt Haining is the current designer at this showroom.
1996 Sees HKS Open In Haywards Heath
The HKS Haywards Heath showroom was opened in 1996. Gary Sparks is the current designer at this showroom today.

"We were impressed with the entire operation: noting our requirements and producing a design that not only met our needs and budget but also looked great; the services of competent workers who efficiently completed each stage of the project; consistent management and supervision of the entire process; immediate attention to the small number of snags that arose. We are delighted with the result. Very many thanks."
MR & MRS K | HAYWARDS HEATH
"Our dream kitchen has finally become a reality. Since you refurbished our master bedroom and en-suite bathroom 5 years ago our confidence in you all at HKS has never wavered, and indeed the kitchen has exceeded our expectations. We are also impressed with new innovations like boiling water tap, hob extractor etc., and colour schemes making the kitchen look so streamlined. We will certainly pass the HKS name around."
