This old but beautifully looked after kitchen uses a format of furniture manufacturing that has long since been discontinued. The owner wanted new soft-close drawer runners and door hinges and a much lighter, brighter feel to the room. None of the available modern fittings and accessories could be simply exchanged. So a great deal of modification was needed to upgrade the existing, with everything carefully planned from the outset.

Once our Design Consultant has spent some time laying out the options for you and provided you with designs, materials, accessories, feasibility and costs of work, we can survey the room in more detail and build a CAD model of your room.
The CAD graphics will allow us to demonstrate kitchen door styles and colours and even change appliances, door handles and worktops / sinks etc. It's better to see what your room will look like before the work begins.
If your room has significant layout changes, we can employ VR (virtual reality) for an immersive experience whilst reviewing your design.

We will firstly remove elements you no longer need, then move and repair anything we need to keep. Preparation for component upgrade might include new PVC edging on the carcass to match a large contrasting change of colour in the doors.
Then we will prepare the door hinge and drawer runner fitting points and any additional accessories like plinth level under oven drawers and corner solutions.
Notice these works were conducted with existing customer's storage left in place.

This utility room was completely stripped out to improve the layout, achieve a better quantity of storage as well as improve quality of access and retrieval.
A traditional style pantry was re-worked to have a lighter interior and better shelving, as well as up-to-date top range Blum internal drawers fitted for ease of access - consisting of 2 deep drawers and 2 extra deep.
