Frequently Asked Questions
We’re always happy to answer any questions our customers have for us. Listed below are some of the most common queries together with our answers..
No. Our furniture, including all the doors and the carcass, is made from solid timber. Only parts that will be exposed to extreme temperatures (e.g. Aga canopy or boiler housing) will be discreetly constructed from composite materials (such as plywood). In this way we establish a traditional and beautiful wood theme throughout the whole kitchen without sacrificing practicality and durability in the very hot parts.
Other manufacturers make your space fit their kitchen: We make our kitchen fit your space.
Yes! We like our customers to be involved in their design. We spend as much time as possible discussing your needs to make sure you get the kitchen of your dreams. Because your kitchen is so unique to you we do not use computer software to design it. Everything is hand-drawn for you, with you, and to your needs.
We have no standardised size units. All our units are individually tailored to your needs, no matter what the shape or size of your room.
We’re afraid not. For generations our family business has been expert craftsmanship with wood. As such we fit our kitchens with solid oak worktops in our kitchens which our customers always find practical and beautiful. The only exception to this, is for central island units where we will happily provide you with a unit for you to have the granite fitted yourself, to give you the opportunity to contrast the traditional and natural looking worktops with the more modern and clinical granite.
Our solid oak worktops come oiled and preserved, and are easy to care for. An occasional treatment with a wood-preserving oil is all they need, with good old fashioned cooking oil being sufficient for general maintenance. We will recommend a suitable product to preserve the character and longevity of your solid oak worktop. We will also provide you with all the instructions you need to maintain your worktop.
The price of your kitchen will depend entirely on how much furniture you want putting into it. We can give you a very good idea from a very basic plan which can be e-mailed or posted to us, please remember to include your postal address and a contact number so we can get back to you with a price. As a general rule, our kitchens cost from around £4,500 to £12,000.
We fit kitchens in virtually all of England, for those outside of the LN, PE, NG and DN postcodes we prefer to give a quote from plans before travelling to do a design and a quote on site. We can also produce standard freestanding units or bespoke kitchens to collect and fit yourself, obviously this requires input from the customer is required to design these bespoke kitchens.
