Pricing and planning
When planning interior joinery - and a kitchen in particular - as much lead time as possible is important to ensure every element is thought through carefully allowing time for the design to develop and mature sufficiently before commencement. We will work with you from initial stages through to a full set of 3D design drawings to construction in our workshop and final fitting. Unlike other kitchens, we are able to make our cabinets to any size or shape to best make use of the available space and avoid the unsightly application of unsightly 'filler' pieces.

The initial meeting will focus on both how best to use the available space and the range of materials and approaches. Following this we will provide you with a fully costed estimate. Prices for the kitchens we make range from around £15k for a small, £15 - 20k for a medium size to £20-35k for a large and complex kitchen. This is the price for the joinery but also includes a full drawing 2d and 3d drawing service and all the work we do with you to manage your project from start to finish.
Materials and sustainability
Our framed shaker kitchens and other joinery are on the whole made with solid tulipwood for both frames and doors unless otherwise specified. Tulipwood is a member of the poplar family and is one of the most sustainable timbers available and comes from long standing plantations. Tulipwood offers unrivalled stability and excellent painting properties which can be any colour of your choosing. Doors are traditional mortice and tenon construction with full depth tenons. Panels are made with 12mm birch ply and rebatted fully into the doors.
Drawers are made with either solid hardwood or birch ply and are sprayed with a hard-wearing clear lacquer. Internal fittings such as larder shelves or drawer dividers are also made of a sustainable hardwood or birch ply.
Where we do use a board material it will be a high-quality birch plywood as we try and avoid using mdf as much as possible. Birch ply, like Tulipwood is rated as a very sustainable timber. On contemporary kitchens, we only use the best Medite moisture resistant mdf boards which finish beautifully. Drawer runners are 'Grasse Dynapro concealed full extension' which are silky smooth soft close. We also use high quality hinges and magnetic catches to ensure your kitchen functions perfectly for years ahead. Building work tends to produce very large amounts of waste and will do our best to make sure we keep this to a minimum and recycle everything possible. All paints and finishes are water based again reducing potential harm to the environment.
