Bespoke kitchens can’t be rushed, so make sure you come to us in plenty of time! Typical lead times are around 15 weeks, but it’s still worth getting in touch if you need your kitchen sooner - you never know when we might have a window open up!
We start with an initial conversation, or email exchange, to get a rough idea of what you’re looking for. Kitchens start from around £25,000, but with just a little bit of information we can give you a much better idea of how much your kitchen will cost. If your new kitchen is part of a wider building project, and you have architect's plans, then we will ask you to send these over. If you don’t have any plans, then we’ll ask for some photos, and some approximate room dimensions. Don’t worry, these don’t have to be precise! The estate agent’s floorplans will suffice if you still have them - or just a rough back-of-an-envelope sketch showing the length of each wall and the position of any windows and doors. Along with a little bit of information about what you are looking for (the style of kitchen, any particular design details, a particular layout) this should enable us to give you a pretty accurate estimate.
Once you have approved our initial estimate, we will arrange further discussions, either over the phone/zoom, or, ideally, in person here at our workshop, where we will discuss the quote in more detail, and answer any questions you have about what is included and how it all works. We will then invoice for 20% of the quote, and start work on your designs. You will see 3-D renders, and have multiple opportunities to request amendments to the designs. We will advise on worktops and appliances at this stage too, and provide you with quotes for both. Once we’ve completely nailed the designs, and you have approved the final draft, we then invoice for a further 50%, and start to bring your designs to life.
We now need to come and take site measurements, after which we will send over a comprehensive M&E drawing for your contractor, showing exactly where the plumbing and electrical points need to be located. Then we start making your kitchen in the workshop. It will take 8-10 weeks to complete your kitchen and have it ready for installation. We invoice 20% one week before the agreed installation date.
The best part. When the kitchen is ready we will deliver it to site, and our team of highly skilled fitters will install - this usually takes around two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen. After the first week the worktops will be templated, and once the installation is complete these will be fitted, ready for the second fix (tap/hob etc) to complete your dream kitchen!
