Vanguard Kitchens and Bathrooms | Bespoke Design, Supply & Fit

Our Story

A small, family-run business built on craft.

Vanguard Kitchens and Bathrooms is led by Alex and Lianne, a husband-and-wife team with over thirty years of hands-on experience designing, supplying and fitting bespoke kitchens and bathrooms across the West Midlands.

From the first free in-home consultation through to the final handover, every aspect is handled in-house — carpentry, plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling. No coordinating multiple contractors. No surprises. Just honest advice and a finish you'll be proud of.

Our Approach

Honest advice. Outstanding workmanship. Every time.

If your kitchen or bathroom only needs a refresh rather than a full replacement, we'll tell you that — and offer the most cost-effective solution. New doors, fresh worktops, an updated layout: sometimes that's all it takes.

And when you're ready for a full design-led transformation, we handle every step in-house. The result is a single point of contact, a tidy site, and a finish that reflects three decades of refined craft.

I had a kitchen renovation recently by Alex which resulted in a kitchen to be proud of. Decided a few weeks later to have my bathroom renovated and without hesitation Alex was my first port of call. Professionalism, reliability and quality of work 10/10. If you need any work doing Alex and Lianne at Vanguard are highly recommended!

Alex and Leanne were absolutely fabulous, they meticulously fitted everything to our perfection. The tidy curves and aligned cupboards was everything we dreamt of. All the packaging was folded and removed, leaving us with very little to do. Alex also connected all my appliances expertly and gave full demonstrations on how to use.
