Kitchens

From the first measurement to the last hinge.

All six

01

Design visit and survey

An hour in your kitchen with Carys: we measure every wall, window and pipe with a laser, talk about how you cook and who is in the room, and look at door and worktop samples in your own light. A week later you have scaled drawings in 3D and a fixed quote. Free, and no obligation to buy.

The design visit, the survey and the drawings are free.

02

Fitted kitchens

Rigid carcases made to order in Wales, soft-close hinges, and doors in painted shaker, handleless matt or solid oak, fitted by our own teams with the plumbing, electrics, plastering and skip included. Priced by the room and the finish.

Fitted, including the trades, the old kitchen taken away and VAT: a small kitchen with painted doors from £8,500, a medium from £14,500, a large from £22,000.

03

Worktops

Laminate that looks like stone for a fraction of it, solid oak oiled on site, or quartz templated with a laser after the units are fitted and installed a week later with the sink undermounted and the edges polished. Worktop-only replacements too, for a kitchen that is sound but tired.

Included in every fitted kitchen at the grade you choose; the estimator adds it by the size of the room.

04

Appliances

Ovens, hobs, extractors, integrated fridges, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines from the brands we trust, bought at trade price and sold at 15 per cent under the shop price, delivered with the kitchen and fitted to the doors. The registration and the warranty are in your name.

Fifteen per cent under the retail price on every appliance we supply, fitted free with the kitchen.

05

The fitting team and trades

Two fitting teams who have worked for us for years, our own Gas Safe plumber and NICEIC electrician, a plasterer we have used since 2011, and a project plan on your fridge with what happens each day. The old kitchen out on day one, the sink back by day three, the last handle on by day ten.

Included in every fitted kitchen: the strip-out, the skip, the plumbing, the electrics with the certificate, the plastering, the levelling and the appliance fitting.

06

Aftercare

A kitchen moves in its first year: the wood settles, a door drops a millimetre, a drawer runner needs a turn. We come back at six weeks and at a year to adjust everything, and for five years a hinge, a drawer or anything we fitted is a visit within the week at no charge. Carcases carry a fifteen-year guarantee.

Included with every fitted kitchen: visits at six weeks and a year, five years on doors, hinges, drawers and fitting, fifteen years on carcases.

How we work

Four things that are true of every kitchen.

A fixed quote, not a starting price

The quote after the design visit lists every cabinet, every panel, the worktop to the millimetre, the appliances, the plumbing, the electrics, the plastering we need and the skip. It is the figure on the final invoice unless you change the design.

A fitting date, and we keep it

The date is set when you order, from the delivery date the works gives us. Most kitchens are a two-week fit. We tell you each evening what happens tomorrow, and the sink is working again by the end of the third day.

Our own trades, signed off properly

Our plumber is Gas Safe for the hob and the boiler pipework; our electrician is NICEIC-registered and you get the Part P certificate for the new circuits. Building Regulations are our job, not yours.

You see it before you buy it

Every door colour, worktop and handle we sell is in the showroom on Heol-y-Deri, and Carys brings the samples to the design visit so you see them in your own light. The drawings are in 3D, to scale, and you keep them.

The design visit

An hour in your kitchen, a laser on every wall, and drawings within the week.

Most kitchens go wrong at the measuring: a wall out of square, a soil pipe nobody noticed, a radiator where the dishwasher wants to go. The design visit finds all of it. We measure to the millimetre, note every pipe and socket, look at the doors and worktops in your own daylight, and talk about how you cook. A week later you have scaled drawings in 3D and a quote that lists every cabinet. It is free, and the drawings are yours to keep.

What people say.

4.9318 reviews
Fitted kitchen

The estimator said £17,400 to £22,800 for a medium painted kitchen with quartz; the quote was £23,400 including taking the pantry wall out, and that is what we paid. The sink was back on the Wednesday of the first week. Carys answered every text, including the one at ten at night about the colour.

Ffion and RobHeol Llanishen Fach, Rhiwbina
Extension kitchen

They came to the site before the extension slab was poured and told the builder where to bring the waste and the cables up. When the kitchen went in, everything was exactly where it should be. Gethin's team is the tidiest trade we had in the whole build.

Small kitchen

A galley two metres wide and they made it feel twice the size by moving the fridge under the stairs and putting shelves up instead of wall units. Under ten thousand pounds, fitted in eight working days.

Directions and hours

Questions people ask before the design visit

What does a kitchen cost?

Fitted, with the trades, the skip and VAT: a small kitchen with painted doors and laminate from £8,500, a medium from £14,500, a large from £22,000. Handleless doors add about 12 per cent, solid oak about 28; oak worktops £900 to £2,200 and quartz £1,800 to £4,600 by size. The estimator gives the band for your room, and the quote after the design visit is fixed.

How long from the design visit to a finished kitchen?

Drawings and a quote within a week of the visit; then six weeks from order for a painted kitchen, seven for handleless and nine for oak, while the works makes it. The fit is two weeks for most kitchens, three for a large one.

Do you do the plumbing and electrics?

Yes, with our own Gas Safe plumber and NICEIC electrician, included in the price. You get the Part P certificate for the new circuits, and the gas sign-off if the hob is gas.

Can we see your kitchens?

Four full-size kitchens in the showroom on Heol-y-Deri, every door and worktop we sell, and the projects page has eight kitchens before and after. Several customers have said we can bring you to see theirs; ask Carys.

What deposit do you take?

25 per cent when you order, which pays the works to start making it. The balance is due when the fit is signed off and the snag list is done, not on the last fitting day.

What if something goes wrong after?

Five years of aftercare on doors, hinges, drawers and our fitting, fifteen on the carcases, with visits at six weeks and a year already booked. Anything else, ring or text a photograph and someone comes within the week.

Start with the design visit. An hour, and it is free.

Carys comes to your house, measures every wall with a laser, shows you the doors and worktops in your own light, and sends scaled drawings with a fixed quote within a week. The estimator gives you the band before she arrives.
