How we make your kitchen
|
1: Initial Discussion
Just get in touch. Anything goes, whether you have an idea or a complete design package, it's always helpful to talk things through.
|
2: Estimate
Usually we arrange to meet in person to see the site, talk through the project to gain a full understanding of you, your dreams, your space and then we can provide an estimate.
|
3: Design Detailing
Happy with estimate, we take a design deposit and provide detailed drawings and renders, working with you towards full construction drawings, ready for sign-off.
|
|
4: Production
When drawings are signed off, we go to manufacture. After this point any changes are chargeable so its important you are happy with all the designs first. A lump sum is payable and then all the components are ordered and the parts are cut using some of the best CNC operators in the country.
|
5: Assembly & Finishing
After 2-3 weeks the components arrive in the workshop for hand finishing and meticulous assembly. Everything is tested prior to installation and you're very welcome to visit the workshop in North West London to see it all coming together.
|
6: Clear the space
You ensure that the space is prepared and ready: remove the existing kitchen, paint the walls, prepare any pipework and electrics, lay floors so that it's prepared for your new kitchen.
|
|
7: Installation
We install cabinetry and loosely fit appliances for plumbers and electricians to wire in. If preferred we can provide drawings and instruction to your builders to install. It usually takes around a week.
|
8: Worktop & Trades
Worktop templates can now be taken. Fitting is usually a few weeks later. All the trades can do any tiling, plumbing, wiring of appliances during this time.
|
9: Clean & tidy
We check that everything is working perfectly, clean all the drawers and cupboards and you're ready to get the kettle on and tell your friends how wonderful we are.

More than skin deep!
Our kitchens are defined by what’s under the surface. By combining high-tech manufacturing with traditional bench joinery we ensure every cabinet is a piece of precision engineering.
- Carcass: Constructed from sustainably sourced FSC-certified Birch Plywood. Unlike standard chipboard or MDF, birch ply offers superior screw-holding strength, moisture resistance, and a beautiful exposed edge grain.
- Precision: Every panel is cut using industrial CNC technology. This allows for tolerances within 0.2mm, ensuring perfectly square cabinetry and seamless architectural integration.
- Motion: We exclusively fit Grass Dynapro concealed soft-close runners. Widely regarded as the best in the world, they offer 4-way adjustment and a synchronized smooth-glide action that can carry up to 40kg per drawer. Blum Blumotion soft closing hinges for any doors ensures reliable quiet closing time and again.
- Finish: Every piece is hand-finished in our London workshop ensuring a luxury, tactile feel that you can't achieve with spraying. We aim to show off the timber either using hardwax oils to show them in full or through any paintwork so the movement of the grain adds texture and softness.
- Hardware: We believe the bits that you touch matter and encourage our clients to go and feel any handles they are thinking of buying. We also make some brass handles in house along with our full length timber handles. These "touchpoints" inform the feel of the whole kitchen, something that is overlooked in a pretty picture.
- Joinery: We utilize a hybrid of modern fasteners and traditional woodcraft to ensure the structural integrity of your kitchen for decades, not just years. All carcasses are rebated and screwed and when it comes to installation they are aligned with 12mm dowels for a perfect fit.
