Our Kitchens

Five styles. Made for the way you live.

Every kitchen we build is designed from scratch for the room it goes in. These styles are a starting point for that conversation, not a catalogue to pick from.

Modern grey slab-door kitchen with island and pendant lights
Modern kitchen with oak dining table and brass pendants, Billericay
Open-plan kitchen with island and bar stools in a new extension, Shenfield

Clean and considered

Modern

Slab doors, minimal gaps and carefully planned lighting. Modern kitchens live or die on precision, so we template worktops after the cabinets are fitted and set every gap by hand.

Finishes

Matt lacquer, super-matt laminate, textured woodgrain, glass

Suits

Open-plan extensions, new builds, apartments

Grey shaker kitchen with island and dining area, Chelmsford

The Essex favourite

Shaker

A framed door with a recessed centre panel, painted in the colour you choose. Timeless without being old-fashioned, and easy to live with for twenty years.

Finishes

Hand-painted or factory-painted timber, any colour matched

Suits

Period homes, 1930s semis, family kitchens

Dark handleless kitchen with island and garden view, Brentwood
Handleless dark kitchen with marble island and brass tap
Dark kitchen with oak breakfast bar and pendant lighting

Uninterrupted

Handleless

Doors open with an integrated rail or a gentle push, so the eye reads one continuous surface. Our most requested style in the last two years.

Finishes

Matt lacquer, laminate, real wood veneer, ceramic

Suits

Contemporary extensions, kitchen-diners, minimal interiors

Hand-painted in-frame kitchen with a mantel and a butler sink
Cream traditional kitchen with butler sink and open shelving
Natural oak in-frame cabinetry with cock beading around the door

Proper joinery

Traditional

In-frame cabinetry with cock beading, mantels and dressers, built the way kitchens were before flat-pack. Substantial, quiet and made to be handed on.

Finishes

Hand-painted solid timber, natural oak, walnut

Suits

Detached family homes, farmhouses, listed properties

Bespoke dark kitchen with oak-topped island and leather bar stools, Hutton
Dark handleless galley kitchen with marble worktops, Romford
Bespoke dark kitchen with marble waterfall island and brass handles

Made for your room

Bespoke

When nothing standard will do. Walk-in pantries, curved islands, boot rooms, hidden doors and furniture made to the millimetre by our own workshop.

Finishes

Anything you can describe. Timber, metal, stone and glass

Suits

Awkward rooms, large open-plan spaces, unusual briefs

The details

The parts of a kitchen you touch every day

Calacatta-effect quartz island worktop with a waterfall end

Worktops

Quartz, granite, Dekton, solid timber and Corian. Templated by laser after the cabinets are in, and fitted by our own stone team.

Tall bank of built-in ovens in a light modern kitchen

Appliances

We supply and fit Neff, Siemens, Bosch, Miele and Fisher & Paykel, and we will happily install something you have already chosen.

Open-plan kitchen with a curved island and a walk-in pantry

Islands

Seating, storage, sink or hob. We plan the electrics, extraction and floor loads before a single cabinet is ordered.

Open walk-in larder with oak shelves and pull-out baskets

Storage

Pull-out larders, corner solutions, drawer-in-drawer and pantries designed around what you actually own.

Under-cabinet LED lighting and brass pendants at dusk

Lighting

Layered lighting on separate circuits: task, ambient and feature. Our own electricians wire and certify it.
