How we work

How Much Will A New Kitchen Cost?

This is one of the first questions we are asked, but there is no definitive answer to this. Typically, kitchens cost upwards of £15,000, but exactly how much will depend on the choices you make. We have designed average sized kitchens for less than £20,000, and similar sized ones have cost upwards of £50,000 due to our clients choosing a more expensive furniture  finish, appliance brand and worktop type. 

In order to get a quotation tailored to your choices and specifications you need to visit one of our Showrooms and sit down with a designer, who will take a brief from you.

The brief

Whether you’re building an extension or replacing an existing kitchen, bring your plans of the room – architects drawings or your own sketch with dimensions. We want to know your ideas and requirements - how you will use your kitchen and what the essential elements are going to be. 

We'll take you through the various cabinet and door styles, finishes, colours, worktop choices and appliance options, giving budget indicators as we go along.

It’s best to start these discussions as early as possible, and usually before  choosing your builder and calculating your overall budget for the project. We can give you an awful lot of practical advice at this stage also.

Design

Our design process is based on our principles of form, functionality, and efficiency, whilst incorporating your own ideas and directions. Ergonomics for the kitchen and it’s varied functions are second nature to us, and we often surprise our clients with such aspects that they hadn’t considered. 

Working to the brief we'll produce a design using our sophisticated CAD software which generates plans, elevations and life-like renders showing how your new kitchen will look. From our first draft design we will produce an itemized quotation to enable us to give you the most comprehensive presentation.

Presentation & Order

We'll present our design and images to you along with the quotation, and discuss options for finishes, colours, appliances and worktop materials too. Modifications to all aspects of the design specifications and costings will be explored and agreed to enable us to make changes and refinements.

Usually there will be subsequent meetings to refine and detail the design as it evolves, then once signed off we will visit the site to confirm measurements before you place your order.

Once you have placed your order, we will produce the service drawing that your builder will require to enable him to provide the services prior to fitting.
