Kitchen Installation, Repairs & Improvements
From fitting a complete kitchen to replacing one troublesome item, I can help make your kitchen work better and look right.
Kitchens often involve a mixture of fitting, adjustment, carpentry, finishing and problem solving. I take time to understand what you want to achieve, then find a practical way of getting there.
Big job or small job
You do not always need a completely new kitchen
Sometimes the whole kitchen needs replacing. At other times, one carefully completed repair or alteration can make an existing kitchen considerably easier and more pleasant to use.
I can help with complete kitchen fitting, unit alterations, doors, hinges, cupboards, worktops, sinks and the small finishing jobs that often make the difference between a kitchen that merely functions and one that feels properly finished.
If something is awkward, unusual or does not quite fit, I am happy to investigate the problem rather than simply work around it.

The important details
A kitchen should look as though everything belongs there
Good kitchen work is not simply about getting the units into the room. Alignment, spacing, finishing and the way individual components meet each other all affect the finished appearance.
A smaller project
One change can make a big difference
Not every kitchen job needs to become a major project. This sink replacement shows how one carefully completed improvement can refresh an existing kitchen.

My approach
A careful process from first conversation to final finish
Understand
I listen carefully to what you want to achieve and look at the existing kitchen before suggesting a solution.
Plan
I consider the dimensions, existing fittings, materials and any awkward details that need resolving.
Fit & Adjust
Components are installed carefully and adjusted so that they sit and operate properly.
Finish
The final details are checked, making good is completed and the kitchen is left neat and ready to use.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about kitchen installation and repairs
Do you only undertake complete kitchen installations?
No. Often a kitchen can be completely renovated by just fitting new doors, worktop and sink. I am also equally happy to help with smaller kitchen jobs such as replacing a sink, adjusting doors, repairing cupboards or making practical alterations to an existing kitchen.
Can you repair kitchen cupboard doors and hinges?
Yes. Many cupboard problems can be corrected by adjusting, repairing or replacing hinges, fixings and other fittings.
Can you alter an existing kitchen rather than replace it?
Often, yes. If the existing kitchen is fundamentally sound, an alteration or individual improvement may be more practical than replacing everything.
Can I send photographs before you visit?
Yes. Photographs are extremely useful and can help me understand what you would like to change before we discuss the job in detail.
Have a kitchen job in mind?
Send me a few photographs and tell me what you would like to change.
Whether it is a complete installation or one annoying problem, I will be happy to look at what is involved and discuss the practical options.
