Kitchen design & fitting · FalmouthDesigned & fitted in west Cornwall
A new kitchen,plannedproperly,and fitted in three weeks.
Every kitchen comes down to three materials.
Most of ours are some mix of aged brass, oiled oak and honed stone. Scroll through them, then handle the real samples at the showroom.
02 / 03The material
Oak
Rift-sawn oak doors and 40mm worktops, oiled on site so every knock can be sanded out.
- Finish
- Hard-wax oil, matt
- Where
- Doors, islands, worktops
- Lives with it
- Re-oil twice a year
Sample B
03 / 03The material
Stone
Honed, not polished: it feels like chalk under the hand and hides the water marks.
- Finish
- Honed, sealed
- Where
- Worktops, splashbacks
- Lives with it
- Reseal every two years

How a kitchen happens here
Every day of it on paper, before you pay a deposit.
The real worry with a new kitchen is not the doors. It is being without a sink for six weeks. So here is the whole thing, in order, with when money is due.
- Free
Week 0
Design visit
We come to you, measure properly and talk through how you actually cook. An hour and a half, usually in the evening.
- Nothing yet
Within a week
Drawings & a fixed quote
Plan, elevations and a quote that does not move. Change your mind as often as you like at this stage.
- Deposit
Sign-off
Deposit & fitting date
You approve the drawings, we book the fit and send the day-by-day timeline. This is the first time money changes hands.
Days 1–2
Strip-out
The old kitchen goes, the room is protected, and a temporary sink and hob go in if you want them.
- Stage payment
Days 3–15
The fit
Carcasses, doors, services, then worktops. Stone is templated on fitted units, so it arrives last.
- Final balance
+ 2 weeks
Snagging visit
Once you have lived with it, we come back and put right anything that is not.
Told as before, plan and after.
Finished photographs only show the doors. The plan is where the skill is, so we show it.
AfterExample project · Terrace, Falmouth · 11 units · 17 days
The one-wall kitchen that stopped being a corridor
Before
An L-shape that blocked the garden door, one socket, and a boiler in the only tall cupboard.
The plan
The part the brochure leaves out
Judge a fitter by the two millimetres nobody photographs.
- Worktop joints you have to look for, not ones you can feel.
- Fillers scribed to walls that were never straight.
- Plinths and door lines level across the whole run, not unit by unit.
