Bespoke kitchens in Carlisle

Most weeks. A sandstone terrace off Warwick Road or in Denton Holme almost never has a square room in it, and that is exactly the situation a made-to-measure carcass is for. We measure the room as it actually is, draw it, and cut the furniture to the drawing.

Yes, and we would usually argue for keeping it. An alcove either side of a chimney breast is the natural home for a larder on one side and tall storage on the other, and the result looks like it belongs to the house rather than like it was delivered to it.

We are at Lingey Close in Dalston, which is the village just south-west of Carlisle. There is parking on site, and we are open Saturday mornings from 8am until 12 for people who cannot get out during the week.

In-frame means every door and drawer sits inside a face frame fixed to the carcass, the way a piece of furniture is made, rather than hanging on the front of a box. It takes more timber, more machining and far more accuracy, because the gap around each door has to be even the whole way round and it is visible.

It is also why a well-made in-frame kitchen still looks right in twenty years. There is a frame holding everything square.

Yes. Painted work is primed here and hand-painted on site in water-based eggshell, and the colour is whatever you want it to be. That is one of the practical advantages of having a paint shop rather than ordering doors in a manufacturer's fixed range.
