Herefordshire is a county of half-timbered farmhouses, sandstone cottages and low-density rural properties. 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
A pantry is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Herefordshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
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
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.

Straight answers
Pantries & Larders in Herefordshire — common questions
What goes on the inside of the doors?
Shallow racks for jars, spices and packets. The door racks are usually where a larder earns its keep, because you can see everything at once instead of digging behind.
What worktop inside the larder?
A timber shelf is fine and warmer looking. If a kettle lives in there, add a stone or laminate insert behind it, because steam will lift an oiled timber edge over time.
Do the shelves need to be adjustable?
Yes. Tinned goods, cereal boxes and bottles are all different heights, and what you store changes. Drilled rows and shelf pins are cheap and make the cupboard usable for decades.
What is the difference between a pantry and a larder?
Strictly, a larder is a cool room or cupboard for perishables and a pantry is dry storage. In practice people use them interchangeably for a full-height cupboard with an internal worktop and shelving.
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.
