Design Process:

Our best design packages take around 4 hours to produce therefore we have created the following options to ensure efficient use of our designers:

Package 1: Design consultation at our showroom or your home is undertaken in which we discuss your cabinetry design, requirements, layout, storage needs, appliance wish – lists and worktop options. A full PDF document is presented to you at our showroom giving you the proposed design and an initial costing based on conversations. – This is charged at £300 + Vat.


Package 2: Design consultation at our showroom or your home is undertaken in which we discuss your cabinetry design, requirements, layout, storage needs, appliance wish – lists and worktop options. A site survey is also completed to discuss your requirements for the build / renovation works, This is a non intrusive structural service. A full PDF document is presented to you at our showroom giving you the proposed design and an initial costing based on conversations. – This is charged at £600 + Vat.

Our preferred method of consultation is to invite you to the showroom. Being at the showroom enables us to show physical examples of finishes, styles and fittings.
Based on feedback from many clients. Being able to come to the showroom, have a coffee and pastry, and chat through ideas left them with a greater understanding of the design possibilities for their project, left them more confident in our ability to produce what is required and gave them a greater understanding of our customer service. We can then outline our packages to see what suits you best to move forward.

At any point of the above processes you choose to proceed with us to undertake your project. A 10% deposit is taken (minus any fee taken so far). At this point all design services are free of charge and inclusive of our service to you. We will also start to get firmed prices on any appliances or accessories needed for the project. We also work with a selection of interior designers, colour coordinators and interior specialists should you need any help. Please ask for more information.

We have a selection of appliances and accessories such as Quooker hot taps, Bora Hobs, Aga Total Control, Westin Extraction, quartz and granite work surfaces, handles, lighting and many other items. These really can fuel your imagination with ideas for your new kitchen. Also, with our workshop 100mtrs around the corner. Many clients utilise the option to have a workshop tour to understand construction methods and materials in a greater depth.

On average a design consultation takes 1 – 2 hours. Please see below the information we ask you to bring with you (if possible)

Existing Structure:

  • Photos of the room
  • 2d measures of the room  –  see our room measuring advice sheet
  • Any inspiration pictures and ideas you may have.

These can all be emailed to us in advance of our meeting. If they are these can be pre-loaded onto our design software for us to create your room you to visualise upon your visit.

After your consultation we will have enough information to undertake an initial estimate which will be presented to you in 2 to 4 weeks.

Home Visits:

If a home visit suits your requirements better, we can come and see you in the comfort of your own home. We can survey the property and discuss the requirements and ideas you have.
