Howdens and Magnet are Steve's two trusted quality kitchen suppliers.
The kitchen was spread between the original property and an extension and the extension wall kinked in by about 10 cm. The clients wanted a single edge to their worktop down this wall presenting us with the challenge of cutting and fitting the worktop around the kink and trimming the units by the same amount for a flush look. It required us to also build up the wall behind the wider worktop to close the remaining gap.
My clients settled on the oak Tewkesbury Skye kitchen from Howdens, with a basin sink, and under cupboard lighting. Lighting was also added for the glass fronted cupboards and shelving area.
White small brick shaped tiles were chosen for the full area between the worktop and the wall cupboards, and also to surround the sink area and cooker up to the extractor hood.
The boiler was boxed in with Tewkesbury Skye to disguise it but with easy access. Additionally, the pipes down from the boiler also needed to be disguised so Steve built a fitted wooden box surround which he then tiled and can be slid in and out easily for access to the boiler.
Clients wanted a small additional surface somewhere, and so a floor standing wall unit topped with matching worktop was used and which completed the kitchen look beautifully.
To minimise the disruption for the clients, Steve worked with a colleague on this kitchen and as a result was able to have the kitchen completed in 10 days whilst the clients were away on holiday with their two small children.
New country kitchen
These clients have an interesting kitchen with the main body of the kitchen in a large room, with a smaller annexe through an archway where the cooker and sink were. The floor was already tiled, but the kitchen units and tiled splashbacks were all to be replaced.
