03 June 2016

The MP for Southend West, Sir David Amess, has cut the ribbon at the grand re-opening of a Dream Doors kitchen showroom in Leigh-on-Sea, meaning local residents are able to get a kitchen makeover for a fraction of the cost and hassle of a full kitchen re-fit, with.

Dream Doors Leigh-on-Sea is located at 1741 London Road, Leigh-On-Sea and was opened today in a gala ceremony, with beverages, canapés and a host of customers, partners and suppliers present. The showroom is owned by Jai Jhala and is a truly family-run business, with Jai’s son and daughter both involved. Jai is a kitchen design expert and has been designing kitchens both abroad and in the UK for the last eight years. He also brings more than 20 years’ retail management experience, after stints at Dixons and Rumblelows.

“I’ve a real passion for both kitchens and the broader retail industry, so Dream Doors just felt like the perfect opportunity for me and the family,” said Jai Jhala. “The model is tried and tested all over the UK, and we can provide a kitchen makeover within 48 hours and for less than half of the cost of a re-fit. Everyone would like the very best kitchen possible, but many do not want the disruption and expense that comes with a full re-fit, so by replacing the doors and work surfaces they can get the same quality but without the hassle.”

Dream Doors is the UK’s leading kitchen makeover firm, with more than 70 franchises across the country. It transforms old and dated kitchens by replacing doors, worktops and drawer fronts, saving time and money. Dream Doors MD, Troy Tappenden believes that Leigh-on-Sea residents will relish the chance to makeover their kitchen: 

“What sets Dream Doors apart is that it is a national brand, run by local people – Jai and his family are the perfect example of how we operate. Jai has a fantastic background in kitchens, and his extensive retail experience means he understands the importance of delivering what customers want; on time, on budget and on schedule.” 

In addition to its makeover services, Dream Doors will also design and fit an entirely new kitchen, and offers a number of integrated appliances. All its doors are made-to-measure and come in a wide variety of different finishes, styles and colours to suit all tastes.

“Dream Doors gives me the opportunity to work creatively with customers to deliver the very best kitchen for their needs,” continued Jai Jhala. “I love Leigh-on-Sea and I’m excited about working as a local business with my family in such a wonderful part of the world, offering such a compelling service.”
