Bespoke kitchens in Dalston

The workshop is at Lingey Close, in the village. It has been on that site since 1972. The showroom, the machine shop and the paint shop are all on the same site. The vans go out from here.

Ask when you come to the showroom. It is a working shop with machinery running, so it is not an open house. But people who want to see where their kitchen will be made are generally the people we most like talking to.

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.
