Kitchens & utility

Utility Rooms

Appliance housing, drying racks and worktop that hides the laundry.

The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For utility rooms in your home 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

Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.

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.

Guide prices are indicative. Real cost depends on the run length, ceiling height, finish and what goes inside. The indicative price tool gives you a range in about a minute, and a free survey turns it into a fixed written quote.

Straight answers

Utility Rooms — common questions

Can a washing machine and dryer be stacked?

Yes, with a proper stacking kit rather than one simply sitting on the other. Stacking frees a full 600mm bay, and we build the housing with a pull-out shelf between them for folding.

What worktop suits a utility?

Laminate or quartz. Timber will suffer around a sink and behind a washing machine where it gets repeated splashes and steam.

How do you deal with the noise?

Mass and isolation. A closed carcass around the appliances with an 18mm back, plus anti-vibration feet, makes a noticeable difference. Do not seal it completely — a condenser dryer needs air.

Can I dry clothes in there?

Yes, with a ceiling-mounted airer or a pull-down rail, and an extract fan on a humidistat. Drying clothes in a sealed room is how you get mould on the ceiling.

Do I need a separate sink?

It is the most-missed item in a utility. A deep single bowl for handwashing, mop buckets and muddy kit is worth losing a base unit for.

What height should the appliance housing be?

Standard 900mm worktop height, with the machines under. Raising them 300mm on a plinth saves your back and is popular, but you lose the worktop run above them.

Can a utility double as a boot room?

Very commonly, yes. Add a bench, hooks and open shoe storage at one end and it does both jobs. Keep the wet trades — sink, machines — at the other end.

How much space does a utility actually need?

A 1,800mm run against one wall houses two machines, a sink and a small worktop. That is the realistic minimum for it to be worth doing.
