Finished this kitchen in Northbourne, Dorset recently.
Dark timber fronts, solid laminate marble-effect worktops and splash back, fitted hob and extractor, tall oven housing, all installed to a clean, practical layout.
The client wanted the look without the full custom price. So she bought flat-pack units, assembled them herself, and we took it from there: scribing, fitting, worktops, splash back, appliances and finishing.
This is a simple way to stay in control of cost while still getting a professional result. You get hands-on experience with the carcasses; we handle the parts that need tools, accuracy and a tight finish.
If you’re planning a kitchen and the budget is tight, this mix of self-assembly plus professional fitting is often the most realistic route.
