Bespoke kitchens in Keswick

Yes. A let needs a harder-wearing spec than a family kitchen in some ways, and a more photogenic one in others. Both are easier to hit when the furniture is made to order instead of chosen from a range.

That is usually the whole job up here. At Threlkeld we built a library and media wall facing a window onto the fells. That meant keeping the joinery under the line of the glass, and putting the storage where it would not fight the view.

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.
