The Style Territories We Work In

We design across a broad range of kitchen styles. The choice is always led by what suits your room and your architecture—not by what range happens to be in warehouse stock.

Flexibility in Building

Why Our Kitchens Fit Better Than Nationals

Even a fully bespoke kitchen uses mostly standard-sized doors—typically 80 to 90 percent in any project. The difference is in the specials.

The Problem with Fixed Catalogues

When a national chain plans a kitchen, every unit must come from a set menu of 300, 600, or 900mm widths. Awkward leftovers in corners or under ceiling beams are simply hidden behind blank filler panels.

  • ✕ Clumsy 120mm painted filler strips that waste usable storage
  • ✕ Rigid island depths (often 900mm) leaving poor legroom for seating
  • ✕ On-site hacking of doors to navigate period structural beams

How We Resolve Space With Specials

Because our cabinetry is made to order rather than drawn from a fixed warehouse range, we build specials where the room demands them:

  • ✓ Correctly sized doors above oven housings that eliminate blank fillers
  • ✓ Non-standard width doors allowing corner units to resolve cleanly
  • ✓ Islands built to 1,100mm depth to achieve ideal dining proportions
  • ✓ Deepened units to correctly accommodate flush venting hob mechanisms

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers about kitchen investment, project scheduling, and our collaborative design process.

How much does a fitted kitchen cost?

Our kitchens typically range from £15,000 to £50,000 fully installed, including solid work surfaces (Caesarstone quartz or natural granite) and appliances. The range reflects project complexity—from contemporary shaker open-plan extensions to premium in-frame cabinetry. We are transparent about budget from day one: if you share a realistic figure early, we design to make it work beautifully within that range.

How long does it take to install a kitchen?

Most kitchen installations take between one and three weeks, depending on size and complexity. We provide a clear installation schedule before work begins and coordinate all trades—electricians, plasterers, tilers, and flooring contractors—so the project runs in the correct sequence. You will always know who is on site and when.

Do you provide kitchen design services?

Yes—and design is where we start, not where we finish. We begin with a site visit or meeting at 32 Beech Lane to understand the room and your lifestyle. From that brief, we develop iterative 3D CAD renders and virtual tours. We present the initial design as the start of a conversation, with zero pressure to commit until it genuinely feels right.

Do you manage the entire project?

Yes. We coordinate the project from design through to completion, managing the sequence and timing of all associated trades—electricians, plasterers, tilers, and flooring contractors. Rather than sourcing and scheduling everything yourself, you have one person overseeing the design and build from start to finish.
