Bespoke Kitchens in Suffolk
Made at Mickfield, near Stowmarket
Bespoke kitchens in Suffolk, made a few miles from your door
Square & True designs, draws, makes and installs kitchens from the workshop on Stonham Road, Mickfield — for listed farmhouses, timber-framed village houses, barn conversions and architect-designed new builds across Suffolk.
A Suffolk workshop, not a showroom
Every Square & True kitchen is drawn for the room, made bench by bench at Mickfield and installed by our own fitters. Nothing is subcontracted. Doors and frames are hand-painted by brush, drawer boxes are dovetailed oak, and the finished kitchen carries a ten-year guarantee.
Because the workshop is here, the whole process stays close to the house. You can stand at the benches while your cabinetry is being made, approve paint and timber samples in person, and deal with the same people from survey to handover. Square & True is the kitchen brand of Reeve & Co Interiors, the joinery company at the same address.
Much of our Suffolk work is in period and listed buildings — the medieval wool-town houses of Lavenham and Long Melford, Georgian townhouses in Bury St Edmunds, coastal homes at Aldeburgh and Southwold. Cabinetry there has to answer uneven floors, original beams and historic proportions, which is joinery work rather than unit planning.
Ranges we adapt to Suffolk houses
Seven ranges are the starting point, and every one is redrawn for the room it is going into rather than picked off a page.
The Suffolk
Hand-painted in-frame cabinetry, warm and practical. Our signature range.
The Farmhouse
V-groove boarding and plain rails for older houses and outbuildings.
The Scandi
Restrained oak and finger-jointed detail for barn conversions and new builds.
Modular & Freestanding
Dressers, islands and pantry cupboards made as loose furniture.
Made at Mickfield, fitted by our own team
The workshop is on Stonham Road, Mickfield, Stowmarket IP14 5LS. Visitors are welcome by appointment, and it is the quickest way to judge whether the standard is the one you want.
Doors and frames are hand-painted by brush rather than sprayed, so the finish keeps a little texture and can be touched in years later. Drawer boxes are dovetailed oak throughout. Aftercare is a phone call to the workshop, and every kitchen carries a ten-year guarantee.


How a Suffolk kitchen is made
Survey
We visit the house, measure properly and work out how the room needs to run before anything is drawn.
Drawings
Plans, elevations and details: cabinetry, appliances, worktops, finishes and any adjoining rooms, agreed before making starts.
Workshop
Made bench by bench at Mickfield, hand-painted by brush, with dovetailed oak drawer boxes throughout.
Fitting and aftercare
Installed by our own fitters, then a ten-year guarantee and aftercare direct from the workshop.

How long does a kitchen take?

Yes, by appointment. We are on Stonham Road, Mickfield, Stowmarket, Suffolk IP14 5LS — the bench shop and the finishing room are both open to visitors.
