Kitchen Design Services
A kitchen design is a decision about how you move, not a mood board. Where the sink sits decides where you stand. Where the range sits decides who gets in your way. We work that out on paper before anyone spends money on doors and handles.
How the design stage runs
We come and measure. Not a sketch: ceiling heights, window positions, where the waste and the gas actually run, what the floor is sitting on. Then we ask how you use the room, because a household where two people cook at once needs a different plan from one where somebody cooks while children do homework at the island.
You get a layout drawn to your room and a specification against it. Nothing is ordered until you have signed off, because a cabinet order placed against an unfinished layout is the most expensive mistake available in this trade.
- Site measure and survey of what is behind the walls
- A layout drawn to your room, not adapted from a template
- Cabinet sizes, door style, finish and interior fittings specified
- Appliances chosen at this stage, because their real dimensions set the openings
- Revisions until it is right, then a sign off
Bring photographs of what you dislike
Everyone brings pictures of kitchens they like. The useful ones are the kitchens you walked into and did not enjoy. Knowing what to steer away from settles a design faster than anything else, and it stops you paying for a detail you will resent.
Design that has to survive being built
We install what we draw, which changes how we draw. A designer who never sees the job again can specify a filler strip that nobody can fit. We do the installation, so the drawing has to work on site.

See the rangeWe run the project, not just the install
The design is the part you see. The rest is scheduling trades, chasing deliveries and keeping the sequence right so the room comes back together on time. That coordination is the service you are paying for.
One point of contact
You call one number. We handle the trades, the suppliers and the schedule between them.
Deliveries timed to the work
Cabinets and counters arrive when the site is ready, not weeks early in your garage.
A sequence that holds
Every trade knows what comes before and after, so one delay does not cascade through the job.
