Frequently Asked Questions About Handmade Kitchen Carpentry

What kitchen carpentry services do you provide?

We specialize in the wooden elements of kitchen design including handmade kitchen cabinets (base, wall, and tall units), solid wood worktops, kitchen islands, breakfast bars, pantry cupboards, dresser units, and custom storage solutions like plate racks and spice storage. We focus on the carpentry and joinery aspects rather than plumbing, electrical, or appliance installation, though we can coordinate with other trades as needed.

Do you work with kitchen designers or can I use my own plans?

We’re happy to work from your existing kitchen plans or collaborate with your kitchen designer to ensure all carpentry elements are perfectly executed. We can also provide design guidance for the wooden components of your kitchen, helping optimize storage, functionality, and aesthetics. Our expertise lies in translating designs into beautifully crafted, functional cabinetry that maximizes your kitchen’s potential.

What wood options do you offer for kitchen cabinets and worktops?

For cabinets, we offer both solid hardwoods (oak, maple, cherry) and high-quality engineered options depending on your budget and style preferences. For worktops, we specialize in solid wood surfaces including oak, walnut, maple, and other hardwoods that can be properly sealed for kitchen use. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of different materials based on your cooking habits, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.

How long does it take to complete kitchen carpentry work?

The timeline depends on the scope of work. A simple worktop installation might take 1-2 days, while a full set of handmade kitchen cabinets typically takes 6-10 weeks from initial measurements to final installation. This includes design time, manufacturing in our workshop, and installation. We coordinate timing with your other kitchen trades to ensure smooth project flow and minimize disruption to your home.

Can you work around existing appliances and utilities?

Absolutely. We’re experienced in working around existing plumbing, electrical, and gas connections, as well as accommodating appliances of various sizes. Our careful measuring and planning process ensures cabinets fit perfectly around your utilities while maintaining proper access for maintenance. We can also create custom solutions to hide or integrate appliances seamlessly into your handmade kitchen design.

Do you provide care instructions for solid wood kitchen elements?

Yes, we provide comprehensive care instructions for all our handmade kitchen elements, particularly solid wood worktops which require specific maintenance to preserve their beauty and functionality. This includes guidance on cleaning, oiling schedules, and protecting against heat and moisture. We also offer ongoing maintenance services and can provide refinishing or repairs if needed over the years to keep your kitchen looking its best.
