Durham is a county of stone-built pit-village terraces alongside Georgian and Victorian city stock. That is exactly the kind of building stock a bespoke kitchen has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For bespoke kitchens in Durham we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Bespoke Kitchens in Durham — common questions
How long is a bespoke kitchen out of action during the fit?
Plan for two to three weeks from strip-out to worktop templating and final connection. We sequence so you keep a sink and a socket for as long as possible, and worktops are templated after the carcasses are set so they fit the real room.
Can you keep our existing appliances?
Usually, provided we have the make and model at survey so the apertures are cut correctly. Integrated appliances vary by tens of millimetres between brands and a guessed aperture is an expensive mistake.
Do you handle the electrics and plumbing?
We co-ordinate with them and set out the first fix positions, but the wet and electrical trades are separate. If you do not have your own, we can recommend people we work with regularly.
Can you make just the doors for an existing kitchen?
Yes. Replacing doors and drawer fronts on sound carcasses is the most cost-effective way to change a kitchen and we do a lot of it. We template from the existing carcass so the reveals stay even.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
