Our kitchen was drawn at the table, a sample door arrived in our colour, and twelve weeks later Alun and Owen fitted exactly what was on the drawing. The oak island top is the thing everyone touches. Not cheap; worth it.
Reviews
A year on, in their words.
Six reviews, one for each kind of piece. We ask for reviews a year after fitting rather than the week after, because that is when you know whether a drawer still runs and a door still closes.
Collected by a third-party review platform. Names shortened at the reviewers' request.
The staircase is the best thing in the house. Ffion measured the opening three times and the stair went in without a single shim. The curve on the handrail was her suggestion.
Seven sash windows in a seafront bay, in a conservation area. Oakfield copied the one original we had left, double-glazed them invisibly, and the planners were happy. The draughts have gone and the sea sounds further away.
Alcove units either side of the fire, hand-painted in the green I chose. The shelves are thick, the doors close with a sigh, and the gap to the leaning chimney breast is invisible. Two days, no mess.
We chose the walnut board ourselves at the workshop, which was half the pleasure. The table arrived ten weeks later, carried in by the man who made it. Our grandchildren will argue over it.
Loft bedroom with ceilings at every angle. The wardrobes follow the slope exactly and were sprayed to match the walls. The window seat between was Ffion's idea; the drawers in it hold all the bedding.
Why a year
Anything looks good the week it is fitted.
Joinery is judged in January, when the heating has been on for two months and a badly made table has split. We ask for the review then. If something has moved, stuck or cracked we come and put it right under the guarantee before the review is written, which is why the rating is what it is and why we are happy for it to be checked.
