The houses here

What Cockermouth is actually built of.

Cockermouth is a Georgian town at the meeting of the Cocker and the Derwent, and a good deal of its housing has been rebuilt from the ground floor up since the floods of 2009 and 2015. That leaves a town with a lot of relatively recent kitchens, many of them put in quickly under insurance, in houses that are otherwise two hundred years old.

A kitchen that went in fast after a flood is often the wrong kitchen for the house: standard units in a Georgian room with high skirtings and deep window reveals. Replacing it with furniture made for the room is one of the more satisfying jobs we get, and it usually costs less disruption than the first one did.

Questions from Cockermouth

Do you replace kitchens that went in after the floods?

We do, and it is common work in Cockermouth. A kitchen fitted in a hurry under an insurance claim is generally a standard one, and a Georgian room with deep reveals and tall skirtings deserves better than that.

How do you handle a Georgian room with high ceilings?

By using the height rather than ignoring it. Tall cabinets, a proper cornice line, and a larder that goes up rather than sideways. Because we make the carcasses, the height of a unit is a decision rather than a limitation.
