Worcestershire is a county of black-and-white timber framing, Georgian riverside houses and new-build market towns. That is exactly the kind of building stock a kitchen island 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
We build kitchen islands as cabinetmakers rather than fitters: machined joints, real carcass construction, and a finish applied under workshop conditions before anything reaches your Worcestershire address.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

What happens next
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
Kitchen Islands in Worcestershire — common questions
Can we have sockets in the island?
Yes, and you will want them. Either a face-mounted socket in the end panel or a pop-up unit in the worktop. It needs a spur run before the floor closes up.
What worktop thickness looks right on an island?
20mm reads contemporary, 30mm reads substantial, and a mitred 60 to 100mm apron gives the slab look. The thicker the apron, the more the carcass underneath has to be set back and reinforced.
Can an island take a sink or a hob?
Yes, but both need services routed through the floor, which is straightforward on a suspended floor and a much bigger job on a slab. Extraction over an island hob is the other consideration — a downdraft or a ceiling unit rather than a standard hood.
Should the island match the rest of the kitchen?
It often works better in a contrasting colour or a natural timber, because it reads as a piece of furniture rather than a run of units. A different worktop on the island is a good move too.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
