Bespoke kitchens in Carlisle

Most weeks. A sandstone terrace off Warwick Road or in Denton Holme almost never has a square room in it. That is exactly what 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. The alcove either side is the natural home for a larder on one side and tall storage on the other. Done that way it looks like it belongs to the house. Not like it was delivered to it.

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

In-frame means each door sits inside a frame fixed to the carcass. That is how a piece of furniture is made. The cheaper way is to hang the door on the front of a box.

It takes more timber and more machining. It takes far more accuracy, because the gap round every door has to be even the whole way round, and you can see it.

It is also why a good in-frame kitchen still looks right in twenty years. There is a frame holding it all square.

Yes. We prime the work here and hand-paint it on site in water-based eggshell. The colour is whatever you want. That is the practical gain from having our own paint shop instead of ordering doors in somebody else's fixed range.
