Services

What we do, and how. The short version: we design, supply, and install bespoke kitchens and home-office fit-outs across Herefordshire and the surrounding counties. We project-manage the whole renovation (structural changes, plumbing, electrics, decorating) so you have one point of contact rather than four.

Kitchen renovation

The core of what we do. Most of our work is a full kitchen renovation — out with the old, in with new cabinetry, often with structural changes to open up the space. We handle every part of the process from initial measurements through to the final clean.

The kitchen ranges we supply

• Second Nature. The largest UK-made kitchen range we work with. Strong on traditional shaker and modern shaker styles, with extensive customisation options (colour, handle, worktop). Good value at the mid-range price point.
• 1909 — a higher-end UK range with more attention to detail and finer customisation. Solid timber painted-frame doors, hand-finished options. The pick for clients wanting "country house" level finish.

We can supply other ranges on request — most kitchen suppliers serving the UK trade are accessible to us through wholesale accounts. The two above are the ones we know best and recommend most often.

Door styles we install

• Shaker. The most-asked-for style. Five-piece frame, painted finish. Sits well in cottage, period, and contemporary homes.
• In-frame shaker — a more traditional construction where the doors sit within a face frame. Higher cost; characteristic of period country kitchens.
• Flat-front gloss — handle-less push-to-open or with slimline handles. For contemporary renovations.
• Flat-front matt — same construction as gloss but with a matt or supermatt finish. Currently the most-popular contemporary style.
• Beaded shaker — variant of shaker with a beaded inner frame. Slightly more decorative.
• Vintage — traditional country-kitchen doors with grain visible, painted in muted colour palettes.

Worktops

We work with quartz, granite, solid wood, ceramic-composite (Dekton, Neolith), and laminate worktops. For most projects we recommend quartz for hard-wearing daily use, particularly in family kitchens. Solid wood (oak, walnut, iroko) for traditional shaker and country kitchens that want a softer, more natural feel.

Home office fit-outs

The growth area of the business over the last few years. Custom home-office installations (built-in desks, fitted shelving, integrated storage) designed around the specific room and how you actually work.

Common configurations:

• L-shaped fitted desk with overhead cabinets and lower drawer units. The most-asked-for layout — gives plenty of work surface plus separated stor­age.
• Wall-to-wall fitted office, for spaces where the whole room is dedicated to work. Combines desk, shelving, cabinets, and sometimes a built-in printer cabinet.
• Office/living-space dual-use — fitted furniture that can hide the working area (cabinet doors that close over a desk, for example) when not in use.
• Library walls with integrated desks, for clients who want a study-and-library combination.

Project management

For full kitchen renovations involving structural work, we project-manage the whole job. That means:

• Structural changes — wall removal, beam installation, extensions. We work with a small group of trusted Herefordshire structural engineers and builders.
• Plumbing — pipework re-routing, new water lines, drain modifications. Coordinated with qualified plumbers who we've worked with for years.
• Electrics — new circuits for appliances, lighting plans, integrated lighting. Part P certified electrician on every job.
• Plastering and decorating — finishing the walls and ceilings after the kitchen install, before the final fit-out.
• Floor laying — coordinating tile, stone, wood, or LVT flooring with our trusted floor-laying partner.

One person (typically Jon) runs the project schedule. You have one number to call when anything comes up. We coordinate the trades; you don't manage them.

Process

1. Initial visit and conversation. Free, on-site. We come and look at the space, talk through what you're hoping for, and discuss budget and timing realistically. Usually 60–90 minutes.
2. Survey and design. Detailed measurements, design proposals, sample doors and worktop pieces. Typically 2–3 weeks from initial visit to design sign-off.
3. Quote and contract. Detailed written quote covering all elements — cabinetry, appliances, worktops, installation labour, structural changes if any, plumbing, electrics, decorating. Contract sign and 25% deposit to proceed.
4. Order and lead time. Most kitchen orders have a 6–10 week lead time from manufacturer. We use this time to schedule the structural and trade work.
5. Installation. Typically 2–4 weeks on-site for a full renovation. Structural changes happen first, then plumbing/electrics, then cabinet install, then worktops and final fittings.
6. Sign-off. Walkthrough with you to address any snags. Final balance due on satisfactory completion.

Pricing

Every project is quoted individually. Rough guides for context:

• Kitchen-only supply (cabinetry, doors, worktops): £8,000–£25,000 depending on size, range, and material choices.
• Kitchen supply + installation: £15,000–£45,000.
• Full kitchen renovation (including structural changes, plumbing, electrics, decorating): £25,000–£80,000+.
• Home office fit-out: £6,000–£18,000 depending on size and complexity.

These are guide ranges. We'll quote on the specifics after the initial visit.

Most of our work is in Herefordshire and Worcestershire — Bishops Frome, Hereford, Ledbury, Bromyard, Malvern, Worcester, Pershore. We also work in Shropshire (Ludlow, Tenbury Wells), northern Gloucestershire (Cheltenham, Tewkesbury), and the wider Welsh Marches. Beyond that radius, projects are on a case-by-case basis with travel time priced in.
