Buckinghamshire is a county of chiltern brick-and-flint cottages alongside substantial interwar detached homes. That is exactly the kind of building stock a pantry 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
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our pantry work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Buckinghamshire property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Pantries & Larders in Buckinghamshire — common questions
Can a larder be cool without refrigeration?
Only with an external air vent and a north-facing wall, which is rare in a modern house. Most larders today are ambient storage — plan for a fridge for anything perishable.
Can you build a larder into an existing kitchen?
Usually yes, by replacing two base units and the wall units above with a single full-height run. The main constraints are the ceiling height and whether there is a soffit or a pipe boxing in the way.
How wide does a larder need to be?
600mm gets you shelves and a small worktop. 900mm to 1,200mm is where it becomes genuinely useful — you can put the toaster and the kettle inside and shut the door on them. Double doors that fold flat against the sides are worth the extra.
Should the larder have a power socket?
Yes, at the back of the internal worktop. A larder with a socket becomes a breakfast station and permanently removes the small appliances from your worktops.
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.
