How this kind of project runs
Stage 1 of 6: First conversation
A call or meeting about the space, how you use it and what isn't working. We talk about scope and a comfortable budget range, and agree whether a site visit is the right next step.You receiveA summary of what we heard · A proposed next step
You approveWhether to go ahead with a site visit

ThenSite visit & measurement
Stage 2 of 6: Site visit & measurement
We measure every wall, opening and service point, photograph the space and check what can and can't move. This is where most surprises are found — before they cost anything.You receiveMeasured drawings of the space · Notes on constraints
You approveThe brief the design will answer

Stage 3 of 6: Design & 3D
Layouts first, then 3D views and material samples you can hold. We revise together until the plan, the look and the estimate all agree.You receiveLayout drawings · 3D views · Material and finish samples · An itemised estimate
You approveFinal design · Materials and finishes · Estimate

ThenProduction
Stage 4 of 6: Production
Joinery is made from the approved drawings. Site work — electrical, plumbing, civil — is scheduled so the room is ready when the joinery is.You receiveA written schedule · Progress updates at agreed points
You approveAny change, in writing, before it is made

Material options
Boiling-water-resistant plywood
- What it is
- Plywood made from thin wood layers bonded with a water-resistant adhesive, often called BWP or marine-grade. It is the box behind the door — the part you rarely see.
- Where we use it
- Kitchen base units, bathroom vanities and anywhere near water.
- Why
- It holds screws well, resists swelling from spills and steam, and keeps its shape over years.
- Trade-offs
- Heavier and costlier than particle board; edges need banding or veneer to look finished.
- Care
- Wipe spills from edges promptly; keep sink cupboards ventilated.
Matte lacquer
- What it is
- A sprayed paint finish on board, built up in layers and sanded between coats.
- Where we use it
- Kitchen and wardrobe shutters where a calm, solid colour is wanted.
- Why
- Any colour is possible, and a matte surface hides fingerprints better than gloss.
- Trade-offs
- Chips can happen on sharp knocks and need a careful touch-up; pale colours show marks.
- Care
- Soft cloth and mild soap; no abrasive pads.
Laminate
- What it is
- A printed or solid-colour sheet pressed onto board under heat and pressure.
- Where we use it
- Hard-working shutters, interiors and commercial counters.
- Why
- Tough, easy to clean and available in many colours and wood looks.
- Trade-offs
- Edges show a line; wood prints don't age like real timber.
- Care
- Any mild cleaner; avoid hot pans directly on the surface.
Stone worktops
- What it is
- Natural or engineered stone slabs, cut and finished on site templates.
- Where we use it
- Kitchen worktops, splashes and vanity tops.
- Why
- Heat- and wear-resistant, with a weight and presence that board can't match.
- Trade-offs
- Some natural stones stain or etch; engineered stone is more uniform but less varied.
- Care
- Wipe acids and oils promptly; reseal natural stone as advised for the type.
Soft-close hinges
- What it is
- Concealed cup hinges with a damper that slows the door for the last few centimetres.
- Where we use it
- Every hinged door in kitchens and wardrobes.
- Why
- Doors close quietly and stay aligned; adjustment screws let doors be re-levelled over time.
- Trade-offs
- Quality varies widely; cheaper dampers weaken over time.
- Care
- Re-adjust if a door drops; keep hinges free of grit.
What affects the cost
- Size and layout
- Shutter material and finish
- Internal fittings and hardware
- Worktop choice
Every quote is itemised, so you can see where the money goes.
Questions
Do you take on small projects?
Yes. A single wardrobe, a kitchen or one room gets the same design process as a complete home — just fewer drawings. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll say plainly whether we're the right fit.
How is an estimate put together?
Room by room and item by item: carcass, shutters, finish, hardware, worktops and fitting are listed separately, so you can see what each choice costs and adjust before anything is made.
What happens if I change my mind mid-project?
Changes are easiest before production starts. After that, any change is agreed in writing — what changes, what it costs and how it affects the schedule — before any work on it begins.
