We recommend installing your flooring before your bespoke kitchen units arrive. This helps ensure a level, consistent surface for fitting and prevents cabinets sitting on carpet or uneven floors. It also makes it easier to fit plinths and kickboards neatly. (If you’d like bespoke flooring recommendations or finishing touches, just let us know during your design consultation.)

Our team aims to keep disruption to a minimum. For a typical fitted kitchen, you can expect the first day for delivery, setting out and making utility connections, followed by 1-2 days of cabinet and appliance installation. We’ll provide a schedule ahead of time and keep you informed of any unavoidable changes.

For a fully bespoke kitchen we suggest allowing 8-12 weeks from final design sign-off to completion. This covers manufacture, finish, delivery and installation. Worktops, appliances and specialist finishes may add a little extra. If you need a more precise timetable, we’ll provide one as part of your project plan.

When we start your design process, we look closely at your plumbing, electrical and ventilation requirements so that your new kitchen is both beautiful and fully functional. We’ll map out appliance positions, plumbing routes and extraction paths, ensuring everything meets UK regulations and is neatly integrated. If major changes are needed (for instance relocating a sink), we’ll flag that early so you can budget accordingly.

Great question! A well-lit kitchen uses three levels of lighting:
Ambient lighting for general illumination (ceiling or recess lights)
Task lighting for work zones (under-cabinet lights, down-lights over islands)
Accent lighting to highlight features (LEDs inside open shelving, plinth lighting)
In the design phase we can incorporate lighting plans so everything is coordinated with your cabinetry and finish. For inspiration on our work, including lighting integration, you can view our projects or request a free consultation.

We design kitchens to last, both in style and performance. That means:
Selecting high-quality materials and fittings with long warranties.
Planning flexible zones (e.g., space for future appliances or conversion of workspace).
Integrating smart appliance readiness and energy-efficient lighting/appliances.
Choosing timeless finishes so the look remains current for years.
If you’d like to explore smart kitchen features, we’re happy to showcase sample appliances and tech upgrades during our design visit.

Storage is one of our favourite design details! We offer:
Pull-out larder units and hidden pantries for maximum capacity.
Carousels/Le Mans trays in corner units for easier access.
Specialist organizers inside drawers (cutlery, spices, utensils).
Deep drawers for pots and pans instead of base cupboards.
Tall units that reach the ceiling to eliminate wasted space.
You’ll see many of these options when you browse our Kitchen page for fitted kitchens.

Absolutely — in fact, smaller or irregular spaces often benefit most from bespoke design. Because we manufacture to measure, we can tailor cabinetry to odd angles, alcoves, sloping ceilings or limited width. Clever design and lighting can make a small kitchen feel much larger. Book a free design visit and we’ll show you how we’ve transformed similar spaces.

Maintenance is straightforward when your kitchen is professionally installed:
Wipe down surfaces daily with mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners.
For natural stone or wood worktops, follow the manufacturer’s sealing/maintenance guidelines.
Check hinges and drawer runners once a year and adjust if needed; we use high-quality hardware that’s built to last.
If you ever need part replacements or service, we’re just a call away.

Good ventilation is key to a comfortable kitchen. During design we specify the correct size of extractor hood (or ceiling cassette/hob extractor) based on the cooktop size and room volume. For open-plan spaces we tend to recommend higher-capacity extraction and sometimes ceiling-mounted systems.

While we survey every project in advance, sometimes hidden issues arise (e.g., uneven floors, plumbing moves, structural fixes). If that happens, we’ll stop work, inform you, outline the options and cost implications, and get your approval before proceeding. Our goal is to keep you fully informed and avoid surprises down the line.

To reduce pressure and potential delays we recommend starting your project 3–4 months ahead of when you want to use the kitchen. Our average lead time from design sign-off to installation is around this timeframe. Booking early gives you more finish and appliance choices, and lets us avoid rush-period scheduling. Contact us today to secure your slot.

At our design consultation we explore your lifestyle, cooking habits, storage needs, family size and daily routines. That ensures the end result isn’t just pretty—but also practical. We’ll ask about time spent cooking, entertaining, family interaction, storage of grocery items, and more. The result? A kitchen that works for you, not just a showroom piece.

It depends on the scale of your installation. For simple cabinet replacements, we may phase the work so you retain some functionality. For full gut-and-refit, you’ll likely need to clear the space (or use a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the home or outdoors). We’ll discuss timeline and access options with you ahead of time so you can plan accordingly.

As part of our service, we can provide mood boards that show how cabinetry, worktops, flooring, wall finishes and lighting all work together in harmony. We encourage you to choose complementary tones, textures and finishes so everything feels cohesive. During your design visit we’ll walk you through sample panels and finishes so you can see them in your own space.

In addition to the cabinetry, you should budget for some associated trades:
Flooring or sub-floor preparation
Electrical work (lighting, appliance circuits)
Plumbing and gas (sink, dishwasher, hob gas line)
Plastering or wall preparation if demolition has taken place
We always provide a breakdown of our cost and help you liaise with trusted trades so you have a full project cost picture.

We pride ourselves on quality craftsmanship and offer a 10-year warranty on our furniture and installation, giving you peace of mind. (See “Why Choose Us” on our Home page for full details.) Should something go wrong with the cabinetry or installation, we’ll come back and fix it. For appliances, the manufacturer’s warranty applies and we’ll help coordinate any service calls for you.
