Bespoke Kitchens in Wiltshire

I design, make and fit bespoke kitchens across Wiltshire, with every cabinet built for your home, and handmade in my Corsham workshop.

Fitted cabinetry or freestanding units, designed for the dimensions, materials and finish details your room requires.

What’s included

  • Cabinets made from solid timber and furniture-quality boards
  • Hand-fitted doors, dovetailed drawers and traditional details
  • Professionally sprayed paint and hand-applied oil finishes
  • Matching islands, dressers, pantries, larders, window seats and tables
  • Solutions for chimney breasts, sloping ceilings and listed interiors

Who it suits

  • Period, listed and characterful homes
  • Rooms where nothing standard quite fits
  • Clients who want a kitchen that will still look right in twenty years

Real project

A SOLID OAK FREESTANDING KITCHEN IN MELKSHAM

A freestanding solid oak kitchen made for a Melksham home, with an L-shaped structure and open storage. Room-specific dimensions, open shelving and posts running through the worktop give it the character of furniture.

Custom cabinetry with bespoke work

A BLENDED BESPOKE KITCHEN IN GREAT SOMERFORD

Custom cabinetry combined with bespoke work, including two bespoke dressers, kept the cottage's character while creating more storage. A whole kitchen need not be handmade to include pieces made specifically for the room.

Where I work

BESPOKE KITCHENS FOR HOMES ACROSS WILTSHIRE

Most Wiltshire homes are within half an hour of the workshop, so Pewsey and the Pewsey Vale, Marlborough, Salisbury, Swindon and Bath are all straightforward for a design visit and for fitting days.

Single pieces

Islands, dressers and other bespoke cabinets

I also make one-off pieces in the workshop - kitchen islands, dressers, display cabinets, bookcases and tables - either on their own or matched to an existing kitchen.

From the first visit to fitting

One person, from design to installation

  1. A free home design visit

    We look at the room, discuss how you use your kitchen and work through the layout, materials and finishes.

  2. Design and written quotation

    The layout and specification are agreed before work begins, with a written, itemised quotation.

  3. Made in the workshop

    Each cabinet is cut, jointed and finished in my fully-equipped Corsham cabinetmaking workshop, ready to fit your room.

  4. Fitted by the same person

    I install the kitchen myself, so the person you meet at the first visit stays with your project through to fitting.

Planning the timing

As a guide, allow 10–12 weeks from first drawings to installation. Bespoke work is booked in advance, with several weeks of making in the workshop before fitting begins at home. The schedule depends on availability, materials and the scope of the work; the time spent fitting at home is only a small part of it.

Not sure a full new kitchen is the right move? Compare refresh, custom and bespoke, or let's discuss your room in a free Home Design Visit and I'll tell you which one it actually needs.

A guide to your budget

What a bespoke kitchen costs

Typically £30,000–£50,000 and above

This covers design, materials, workshop making, hand finishing and installation by me.

Room size, timber, finish and how much of the kitchen is made from scratch affect the cost. You receive a written, itemised quotation after the free Home Design Visit.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

5 out of 5 stars from Zoe Moreton

“Nick is highly professional, has an eye for the smallest details and is great at communicating. I drew a design I loved and Nick made it come to life. He regularly updated me on his progress, and when he came to fit was unobtrusive, polite and very neat and tidy. We would use him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Nick!”

BESPOKE KITCHEN QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

A bespoke kitchen is designed and made for one room only. Every cabinet is created for its own space, then cut, jointed, finished and fitted by me. So are one-off pieces such as islands and dressers. Refresh and custom kitchens use doors and cabinets supplied by a long-standing UK manufacturer.

Refresh, custom or bespoke — see which one suits your home, your budget and how long you want the work to take.

  1. I'll be in touch. I reply personally the same working day, by phone or email.

  2. We arrange a visit. I come at a time that suits you. The visit takes 60 to 90 minutes, and I can measure as I go.

  3. We talk it through. We look at the room together, try samples in your own light and talk through refresh, custom or bespoke, with rough costs.

  4. You get a written quote. An itemised quotation follows within a few days. No charge, no obligation, no sales pitch.
