Products & Services

From the handling of your initial enquiry through to final installation, we aim to provide unparalled service and attention to detail second to none.

Kitchen Units
Cabinets : Unlike many kitchen companies, we build to individual needs. We do not have a standard size of cabinet - they are always made to suit room sizes and are proportioned to look right within the surroundings. We offer a very high build specification which sets us apart from low budget kitchen manufacturers. Instead of chipboard, our carcasses use a combination of veneered M.D.F. or plywood. Crown cut veneers are usually selected as these best enhance the graining.

Our units feature 19 mm thick sides fitted directly to the floor - there are no adjustable legs as strength is often required for the heavy granite work surfaces which are our speciality. After spray polishing the carcasses, we hand craft a fascia framework to achieve a more traditional look.

The customer's specified timber is then fixed to the carcasses. Door and draw fronts are neatly inset and the doors are hung on solid brass or cast iron butt hinges. Inset adjustable door catches all add to the high build specification. Dovetail drawers are supplied in solid woods with veneered bases for added strength. They also feature under mounted, self closing runners and adjustable shelves.

Materials : Work is undertaken in maple, ash, elm, cherry, English, American and European hardwoods. We also specialise in old pine kitchens and hand painted finishes.

Worktops : 30 mm and 20 mm thick worktops in granite or slate are available in many colours. Corian, stainless steel or wood are further options. We offer a templating and installation service - see below.

Appliances
We supply appliances by
Britannia, Miele, Smeg, Viking, AEG, Bosh, Aga, Maytag and Neff. However, should you have a special requirement, we will strive to obtain the necessary items.

Accessories
A full range of chrome and wire work accessories are available on request. These include larders and corner baskets.

Other Interior Commissions
In addition to kitchens, we can also supply bookcases for libraries, bedroom and bathroom furniture and wooden flooring in oak and antique pine.

Design Services
We are pleased to offer a free survey. Just give us an idea of what you require and we will endeavour to produce a working design that fully meets your requirements. Plans and quotations are chargeable, but refundable on the placing of an order. Each commission is priced as a one off. Our quotations and plans are detailed and thoroughly laid out with individual descriptions of the units. They include a full breakdown of costings including VAT or, in the case of new or Grade II houses, exemption from this tax.

Installation
Kitchen installation is always carried out by ourselves - we do not employ contract labour. However, we do use qualified electricians and reputable builders when necessary for associated work. We undertake plumbing and supervise the complete works until the job has been completed to the high standards that we set.

Please note that final payment will not be paid until the customer is completely happy with our work.
