FAQs

  • When we think about our fundamental beliefs and what matters most to us, we can't help but be reminded of the simple yet timeless loaf of bread. It's been a staple of human life for thousands of years, transcending social classes and bringing people together. Just like how bread is for everyone, our values and ultimately our designs are inclusive and universal. In fact, we love baking bread ourselves, and nothing beats the smell of a freshly-baked sourdough loaf in our cozy kitchen.

  • We typically work in Gloucestershire & The Cotswolds, particularly Cheltenham, Gloucester & Stroud.

    We have many clients who are further afield, please do give us a call if you want to discuss your project.

  • Absolutely! We're passionate about discovering and experimenting with new materials, and we're fortunate to have a talented network of artisans to collaborate with. As a company that values design and innovation, we're able to explore a wide range of options with our suppliers. Of course, we understand the importance of durability and longevity, especially when it comes to materials used in the kitchen. That's why we conduct extensive testing to ensure that our chosen materials can withstand the rigors of everyday use and stand the test of time.

  • We believe that every home deserves a unique, tailor-made kitchen that perfectly suits its owners. That's why we offer a bespoke design service, working closely with you to create a one-of-a-kind space that reflects your personality and style. Throughout the process, you'll have a direct connection with your designer, ensuring that your vision is brought to life just as you imagined it.

    We understand that a successful kitchen renovation involves much more than just good design. That's why we also take care of the practical aspects, such as managing the tradespeople, coordinating the removal of the old kitchen, and handling any necessary plumbing and electrical adjustments. Our team is dedicated to providing a seamless installation experience, ensuring that your new cabinets, appliances, and worktops are expertly fitted and ready to use. We provide you with full design documents, so you can rest assured that every detail has been taken care of.

  • We take a personalised approach to our design process, starting with an initial design consultation to discuss your wants and needs. Within two weeks, we'll present you with a detailed design pack that includes layout options and an estimate. However, the length of the design stage can vary depending on a number of factors, including any site works required and the time it takes to finalise the design decisions.

    Once you've signed off on the proposal, we'll begin the planning and manufacturing stage, which typically takes 8-10 weeks.

    During the installation stage, we'll typically have your new cabinets fitted within a week. We'll then move on to worktop templating, followed by a worktop installation two weeks later. If needed, we can provide temporary worktops during this time so that you can continue to use your kitchen. We recommend allowing four weeks for the entire installation process, so that everything is completed to our high standards and you can start enjoying your new kitchen.

  • We understand that budget is an important consideration for any home renovation project. Our pricing for kitchens, wardrobes, utility rooms, and boot rooms depends on a number of factors, such as size, materials, and any additional features or bespoke options.

    For a medium-sized painted shaker kitchen with cabinets, worktops, appliances, and installation, the typical cost would start at around £25,000-£30,000. Of course, we can work with you to create a design that fits your needs and budget.

    Similarly, a painted double shaker wardrobe typically starts at around £3,000 including installation. We offer a range of materials and finishes, so you can choose the option that suits your style and budget.

    At the end of the day, our goal is to create beautiful, functional spaces that enhance your home and improve your daily life. We're always happy to discuss pricing and options with you, and we're committed to delivering exceptional value and service.
