Bespoke & Handmade Kitchens
A bespoke kitchen is made for one room only: every cabinet drawn for its own space, then cut, jointed and finished at my bench in Corsham. That can mean a complete run of fitted cabinetry, or a range of freestanding units. Bespoke cabinetry starts from £30,000 and typically takes 10–12 weeks from first drawings to installation.
What’s included
- Fitted cabinets and dressers made from solid timber and quality boards
- Hand-fitted doors, dovetailed drawers and traditional details
- Furniture-grade paint and hand-applied oil finishes
- 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
Timescales
Bespoke work is booked in advance; expect a design period followed by several weeks of workshop time before installation. These timings are a guide only and depend on availability, materials and the scope of the work.
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.

Fitted or freestanding
Bespoke work can be a complete run of fitted cabinetry, a range of freestanding units or a single freestanding piece. All are drawn and made from scratch in the Corsham workshop.

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.
