What materials are used in the manufacture of the kitchen units?

All wood used for the doors and drawers on the kitchen units are ‘knot free’ pine or hardwood, purchased from a sustainable source. Carcasses can be solid wood, plywood or MFC, depending on your budget.

Do you help project manage the kitchen - supply and installation?

We do provide this service and we do manage the tradespeople we provide. We have offered this service for many years.

Where are your kitchens made?

All our kitchen units are manufactured by experienced craftsmen in the UK.

Yes, we use our own experienced kitchen fitters who fit kitchens supplied by us. We provide the whole service.

Do you remove the old kitchen?

We can organise this service if you wish, and this includes isolation of the electrics and water supply.

How hard-wearing is the paint?

The paint we use is a hard wearing eggshell which is quite durable against wear and tear. A top-up amount of paint is provided with the kitchen units for maintenance.

Do I need to put flooring down before the kitchen is fitted?

This is preferable, but not critical.

How hard wearing are granite worktops compared to quartz worktops?

Quartz worktops are man-made and are normally more durable than granite. Darker colour granites are generally more hard wearing than the lighter colours.

Can I use my old appliances in the new kitchen?

Yes, provided you have all the fitting instructions available.

What if I want to change the colour of my kitchen in the future?

If you wish to change the colour of your kitchen units, we provide a redecorating service which includes sanding down and repainting.

Do I need the room to be painted before the kitchen units are fitted?

Ideally it is better to paint your kitchen walls and ceilings before the kitchen units are fitted.

Sinks - Ceramic or stainless steel?

We recommend ceramic sinks as they are more scratch resistant than stainless steel.

Why do you recommend better quality taps instead of cheaper ones?

More expensive taps have a higher criteria in the manufacturing process and the parts used are of a superior quality. When buying taps, please remember having taps replaced by a plumber is a costly exercise.

Can I purchase my own appliances and taps?

Yes, you can buy them and we will fit them.

What do you do, and what do I need to get a Trade for?

We can help you with all the Trades, and we do have our own team of fitters and other specialist trades people we can recommend.

Do you do electric and gas work?

If required we can recommend electric and gas specialists.

Do I need to have the range cooker or appliances there to fit around it?

Ideally the range cooker should be on site before fitting. In addition all the appliances including sinks and taps should be on site as well.

Kitchen cabinet design to turn heads

Handmade unit with soft close cutlery drawer and wooden worktop — That age-old saying: you only get what you pay for is true to some degree. But when it comes to our kitchens, you have options to suit your budget.
Our kitchens are all in frame as standard, meaning the doors have framing which makes the kitchen units more substantial. However, if you have a tight budget, we can offer a range of frameless kitchen units. All doors remain solid wood.
