Kitchens made in our workshop

A family joinery in Ledbury, making fitted kitchens since 2009 for Herefordshire, south Shropshire and the Malverns. We survey your room, draw it in 3D, build it in the workshop and come and fit it. You can work the price out yourself — right here on this page.

Our own workshop

We are not reselling somebody else’s units. It is made here in Ledbury.

3D design within 7 days

Two options and a quote broken down line by line.

Fitting date in writing

A date in the contract, not “sometime in the spring”.

A free visit after a year

We come back and adjust the hinges and runners once everything has settled.

Price calculator

Price your kitchen in two minutes

Set the length of the run, the shape and the materials. You get a guide range broken down line by line and a rough lead time. The firm price comes after a survey, but you will know straight away what sort of money we are talking about and what pushes it up.

STEP 01Length of the run

Add up every run against a wall. Leave the island out — that is counted separately.

Door and worktop samples

The eight combinations people pick most often

Click a sample and the calculator sets itself to match. We keep real door and worktop samples in the workshop — a colour on a screen is never quite the colour in the room, least of all a matt paint.

Sample prices are per metre of run including units, hardware and fitting — the bottom of the range the calculator gives you.

Three kitchens across the range

From a plain run for a rental to oak veneer with a stone worktop. Shape, material, length and rough price on every one, so you have something to compare.

Who will actually make it

A family firm, and kitchens are all we do

The workshop opened in 2009, after fifteen years spent making the same three kitchens over and over for a large firm. There are three of us now: one on the machines and the fitting, one drawing the 3D designs and doing the surveys, and one running the workshop and helping people choose materials.

We could not do ten kitchens a month and we do not try. We take four, so that every one of them looks like somebody stood over it. Most of the work comes from neighbours and from builders round here passing our name on.

  • Where we goLedbury, Malvern, Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Bromyard, Newent, Tenbury Wells and around
  • How many we take onFour a month. Spring dates are usually spoken for by January.
Working together

From the first meeting to a finished kitchen

Six steps, and at each one you know what comes next, when, and what it costs.

  1. A look round the workshop

    Bring a floor plan, or photographs and measurements. We go through what annoys you about the old kitchen, and we say the budget out loud.

    60–90 minutesfree
  2. Survey at your house

    We laser measure the walls and check the pipework, the waste and the consumer unit. Out-of-true walls get written down, so the kitchen does not have to be made good with a strip of scribe.

    free within 40 miles
  3. 3D design and quote

    Within seven working days you get two versions and an itemised quote. We keep changing it until it is right.

    £195refunded if you order
  4. Contract and deposit

    The contract carries the fitting date, the materials and the price. A 50 % deposit; the rest as the work goes on.

    50 % deposit
  5. Made in the workshop

    Five to seven weeks. Halfway through we ask you in to see it — you can put your hands on the doors and the worktop before they go anywhere.

    5–7 weeks
  6. Fitting and handover

    One to three days. A stone worktop is templated after the units are in, so that job takes two visits. We take the packaging away and hand over the paperwork.

What to expect

Three things a kitchen firm should tell you before you sign

What the deposit protects. Ours is 50 %, it goes on materials, and the contract names the fitting date. Ask anybody taking a deposit what happens to your money if they stop trading — and get the answer in writing.
Who does the electrics and the plumbing. We do not, and we say so. We have trades we work with and they price separately, so you can see what is ours and what is not.
What is not in the number. A quote that is one figure on one line is hiding something. Ours is itemised, which is also the only way you can sensibly take something out to save money.
