Plan a wardrobe
Sketch it, and see a ballpark.
Set the width, pick a timber and add the extras. The drawing redraws as you go, and the price is a fair starting point for a real quote.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
How long does a kitchen take?
About ten to fourteen weeks from signed drawings: six to eight in the workshop, then a week or so to install.
Can I visit the workshop?
Please do. Book a time and you can see your joinery being built, and touch the timbers before you choose.
Do you work with builders and designers?
All the time. We can build from your designer's drawings, or draw it ourselves.
Solid timber or veneer?
Both, and we'll tell you where each makes sense. Solid timber for tops, faces and furniture; quality veneered board where stability matters most.
What's the warranty?
Ten years on our joinery, and the hardware makers' lifetime warranties on hinges and runners.
Have a room in mind?
Tell us about it. We'll come out to measure and talk it through, and send drawings and a price after.
