Grand Kitchen Modernisation
After recently moving into their new home, the owners wanted to enhance their kitchen and add a considerable amount of storage, whilst also stamping their own personality on the space
Rather than throw away the handmade pine kitchen, they wanted to give it a new lease of life whilst also adding new matching bespoke cabinets and furniture
The old cabinet door hinges (butt hinges) were replaced and upgraded with new high quality concealed-style soft-close units from Hafele. The old drawer runners (basic runners) were replaced and upgraded with new high quality full extension, ball-bearing units with soft-close functionality, also from Hafele
The face frames and end panels were repaired, sanded, primed and painted in-situ with Fired Earth’s Weald Green. The cabinet doors were removed to the workshop and professionally sprayed
An existing peninsula unit was relocated and positioned against a wall to become the base for a dresser-style unit and a new bespoke pine top unit was built
A new matching pine base unit was built that mirrored its existing counterpart
A new pine bookcase with adjustable shelves and tapered oak feet was also commissioned
“Customer testimonial:
Nick became involved in our kitchen project at an early stage, when we had decided we wanted to make improvements to our kitchen without ripping everything out and starting again
He quickly helped to give us more focus and talked through various options. A comprehensive survey of our existing set-up followed so that he had detailed measurements of all aspects of the layout
Next steps included building new wall and base units and a bookcase designed in a style which matched all the existing units and upgrading all door hinges and drawer mechanisms. We chose a new colour and Nick repainted all units either by hand or by spraying at his workshop
Throughout he showed good flexibility in being willing to add to or modify more detailed aspects as we went along
The end result gave us a kitchen with a transformed look and much more storage, all within the existing footprint!
We would not hesitate to recommend Nick to others who wish to have similar work carried out. His high standards and attention to detail are first class
