About Our Handmade Kitchen Services
At LC Carpentry, we handcraft the wooden elements that make a kitchen genuinely special – from bespoke cabinet carcasses and solid wood worktops to kitchen islands and pantry units. Every piece is built to your exact specification using traditional joinery techniques, and installed to fit your space properly rather than being forced to fit around it.
Our Handmade Kitchen Carpentry Services
We specialise in the wooden elements that give a kitchen its character. At LC Carpentry we create:
Kitchen Cabinets & Units
Handmade base units, wall units, and tall cabinets crafted to your exact dimensions – no filler panels, no compromises on layout, no off-the-shelf sizing limitations.
Solid Wood Worktops & Islands
Solid wood worktops, kitchen islands, and breakfast bars in oak, walnut, and other hardwoods – properly sealed and finished to withstand everyday kitchen use.
Kitchen Storage & Features
Custom pantry cupboards, dresser units, plate racks, and bespoke storage designed around how you actually use your kitchen, not how it looks in a showroom.

Handmade Kitchens Across Surrey
Based in Fetcham, just 5 minutes from Leatherhead and junction 9 of the M25, we’re perfectly placed to serve the whole of Surrey – from Esher and Oxshott in the north to Godalming and Haslemere in the south.
We’ve installed handmade kitchens across the county – from large open-plan kitchen extensions in Cobham and Weybridge where a bespoke island was the centrepiece, to older properties in Dorking and Guildford where the brief was to create a kitchen that felt like it had always been part of the house. Every project starts with the space you have and what you actually need from it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Handmade Kitchen Carpentry
What kitchen carpentry services do you provide?
We handle the carpentry and joinery elements of kitchens – handmade base units, wall units, and tall cabinets, solid wood worktops, kitchen islands, breakfast bars, pantry cupboards, dresser units, and custom storage. We focus on the woodwork rather than plumbing, electrical, or appliance installation, though we can advise on sequencing with other trades to keep your project running smoothly.
Can you work from existing kitchen plans or with a designer?
Yes to both. We’re happy to work from your existing plans and execute the carpentry elements to specification, or to collaborate with your kitchen designer to ensure the woodwork is done properly. We can also advise on the wooden components if you’re planning the kitchen yourself – particularly on layout, material choice, and what’s actually worth spending money on versus what isn’t.
What wood options do you offer for kitchen cabinets and worktops?
For cabinets we work in solid hardwoods including oak, maple, and cherry, as well as high-quality engineered options depending on your budget and style. For worktops we specialise in solid wood surfaces – oak and walnut being the most popular – properly oiled and sealed for kitchen use. We’ll talk through the practical pros and cons of each option based on how you use your kitchen, not just what looks good in photos.
How long does handmade kitchen carpentry take?
A worktop installation is typically a one to two day job once manufactured. A full set of handmade kitchen cabinets from initial survey to completed installation generally takes six to ten weeks, covering design, manufacturing, and fitting. We provide a clear timeline at quote stage and coordinate with any other trades involved to keep the project on track.
Can you work around existing appliances, plumbing, and electrics?
Yes. We design and fit around existing services and appliances as standard. Careful measuring at the survey stage means cabinets are built to accommodate your plumbing and electrics properly, with access maintained where needed. If anything flagged during the survey needs to be moved or modified by another trade first, we’ll let you know at the planning stage rather than on installation day.
How do you maintain solid wood kitchen worktops?
Solid wood worktops need regular oiling – typically every few months in a busy kitchen – and sensible protection from standing water and excess heat. We provide straightforward care instructions at handover so you know exactly what’s needed. Properly maintained, a solid wood worktop will outlast most other surfaces and can be sanded back and refinished if it gets marked over the years.
