There are two ways to make joinery. The fast way is what most of the high street does: stock cabinet carcasses, off-the-shelf finishes, fitted by someone who's never seen the design.
We make the other kind. Every piece is measured, drawn, built and fitted by the same small team. Walnut, ink-blue lacquer, soft chalk paint — finishes we'd live with ourselves. Hardware that's quiet for a decade. Doors that close like a car door, not a kitchen cupboard.
We work mostly across Greater Manchester — Salford, Stockport, Cheshire, Bolton, Wigan — on jobs from a single alcove unit to a full kitchen with island. Each one is drawn within a week of the measure, built in our UK factory, and fitted by the hands that made it.
This brochure is a way to see what that looks like. The photos are real projects in real homes. If something here feels close to what you're imagining, the next step is a site visit. There's no charge for that, and no obligation.
Every project, from a single alcove unit to a full kitchen, follows the same four stages — measure, draw, build, fit. Most are complete inside three weeks.
A site visit, by appointment. Measurements taken against the finished walls — not the plasterboard — so nothing moves between drawing and fit. No charge, no obligation.
1–2 daysDrawings, materials and finishes back to you within the week. We refine together over a call or a second visit until it's right — including hardware, lighting and interior fit-out.
3–7 daysMade-to-measure in our UK factory by the team that drew it. Most projects 5–9 days on the bench; full kitchens and walk-in dressing rooms up to two weeks. You see progress photos.
5–14 daysInstalled by the hands that built it. Most jobs go in inside 1–3 days; floors and surfaces protected end-to-end. Snag the same week. 10-year guarantee starts the day we leave.
1–5 days on-siteA core palette we know intimately — woods, lacquers, hardware and stone we've used long enough to know how they wear. Anything outside this can be sampled and matched before any commitment.
Warm, figured grain. Our most-asked wardrobe finish.
Deep, matt — the dark architecture of media walls.
Matt sprayed lacquer. Our most popular kitchen finish.
Soft, chalky. Sits well against oak floors and brass.
A quiet off-white for alcoves and period rooms.
Handles, hairlines, plinth detail and shelf trim.
A worktop that ages gracefully — wears soft, not glossy.
Island tops, display shelving — quiet, never showy.
No. 01
A continuous floor-to-ceiling run in walnut veneer with thin brass linear handles set vertically. The bedroom's awkward chimney breast disappears into a single calm volume — long-hang, double-hang, six soft-close drawers, and an open bay sized for the client's shoe collection.
No. 02
A full-width media wall worked into one continuous oak face. The 75″ TV and recessed bio-ethanol fire sit flush in matching reveals; flanking shelving carries books, ceramics and a turntable. A brass hairline runs the wall above, doubling as a soft uplight at night.
No. 03
Four cleanly-divided bays where there used to be one dust-trap cupboard — coat bay, angled shoe shelves, vacuum bay, and a low pull-out for shopping. Each door follows the slope of the stair above so the joinery reads as one geometric run, not a row of cupboards.
No. 04
An unused box room turned into a full walk-in dressing room — two flanking walls of hanging, a back wall of shoe and accessory storage, and a low island of eight drawers with a smoked-glass top. A brass-edged LED strip runs down the centre of the ceiling.
No. 05
Handleless throughout — push-to-open uppers, J-pull lowers in matt ink-blue lacquer. A 3-metre island carries the hob and a five-seater breakfast bar, with hidden bin pull-out and full-extension drawers either side. A thin brass plinth runs the floor — the one decorative move.
No. 06
A matched pair of alcove units flanking a Victorian fireplace — closed cabinets below, four open shelves above with hidden brass-edged LEDs at the back of each. No two dimensions the same, measured individually, drawn to read as a pair. The lighting does the rest.
Honestly the best money we've spent on the house. the team measured everything themselves, drew it the same week, and the finish is better than the showroom kitchens we'd looked at. It's quiet, it closes properly, and the room feels twice the size.

Most jobs are complete inside three weeks end-to-end. Alcove units in a week; full kitchens and walk-ins around three to four.
Yes — common on renovations. We time our measure and fit around theirs so cabinets sit flush to finished floors and walls.
Most of the time, yes. We sample stains, paints and veneers against the existing material before committing to anything.
Quote on request — we'll give a fixed figure with the drawings, never a vague range. Each project is priced to the specification, not the postcode.
A photo on WhatsApp is a perfectly fine way to start. A site visit follows within the week. There's no charge for that — and no obligation to go any further.
