Projects
Seven kitchens, each published with the construction behind it. Every image on this site is of work we have made.
Open-Plan Kitchen
Character oak against matt black, handleless throughout, in an open-plan room with a whole wall of glazing onto the fields.
Catherine Place
A hand-painted in-frame kitchen in the lower ground floor of a Westminster townhouse, with a curved walnut breakfast bar worked into the island and every appliance taken into the joinery.
Country House Kitchen
A moulded in-frame painted kitchen built around two carved chimneypieces, with a full island, astragal-glazed wall cupboards and a steel rack hung over on chain.
Queen’s Gate Place Mews
A sprayed, handleless kitchen in a mews house, with a painted in-frame scullery behind it doing the work the front room is too smart to do.
Farmhouse Kitchen
A white hand-painted in-frame kitchen in a Suffolk farmhouse, built around an AGA and a butler sink, with black granite and a riven slate floor.
Freestanding Oak Kitchen
A solid oak island on turned legs, standing free in a barn, with painted units and an oak dresser arranged around it rather than fitted to it.
Painted Kitchen & Utility
An olive-green painted in-frame kitchen in a house with leaded steel casements and limestone floors, and behind it a utility with a whole wall of slatted doors.
What is here, and what is not
Seven commissions, in London, Suffolk, Essex and Oxfordshire. Each one is a kitchen we drew, made, finished and fitted, photographed as it was handed over.
What is not here is more instructive. There are no computer visuals presented as finished rooms, no library photographs, and no kitchens made by anybody else. When a job is not photographed well enough we leave it out rather than pad the page, which is why there are seven and not thirty.
How to read them
Each project names the range it was built in, and each range page links back to the projects made in it. If you like a kitchen here, the range page tells you how it is constructed and roughly what it costs.
The specification panel on every project is the same, because the construction is the same on every commission we make: birch ply carcasses, solid timber face frames, hand-cut dovetails, four coats of paint brushed in our own finishing room. The door changes. The box does not.
The full schedule for any commission — door style, timber, finish reference, worktop, ironmongery and appliances — goes to specifiers on request. We do not publish clients’ paint colours on a public website.
Where we work
Most of our work is within two hours of the workshop at Mickfield: Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and London. A meaningful part of it is further — the Home Counties, the West Country, Scotland, and increasingly Europe and the United States.
Distance affects the programme, not the price of the joinery. What changes is the survey, the delivery and the number of nights the fitting team is away, and all of that is priced in the quotation rather than added afterwards.

Tell us about the room, the house and roughly when you would like to be cooking in it. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
