can you supply cabinets only as i would like to install them myself?

We can supply the same high quality cabinets for you to install, we understand sometimes you have builders on site or trusted installers, or are a little further afield and would like to use someone local. You can also collect to remove delivery costs. We provide full drawings for your builder to work from, along with videos of how we would recommend your kitchen to be installed, with tricks and tips on the tricky bits! We would always advise for tradespeople to install your kitchen and not DIY to ensure the best installation to ensure that your kitchen lasts and looks great!

What colour and paints can you use? Do you offer unpainted wood?

Our Sustainable Kitchens range of paint is water-based, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) and eco-friendly with a low odour. For a custom colour we colour match using a water-based paint for a more robust and durable finish. We spray one coat of primer with two coats of paint and hand paint our Bespoke Kitchens upon fitting.

When you work with us, we’ll give you exclusive access to better pricing on appliances (as well as suggest the perfect appliances for your needs – appliance integration really is key to a well-designed kitchen).

If this happens and you notice changes then get in touch and we will come and make the necessary adjustments free of charge.
