Kitchen styles

Four ways a kitchen can look.

Every one of these is a kitchen we've built. Pick the one closest to what's in your head — we'll take it from there, and we're happy to mix two if that's what the room wants.

Handleless kitchen — Clean lines, nothing to catch onClean lines, nothing to catch on

Handleless

A J-pull or recessed rail replaces the handle entirely, so the door fronts run as one uninterrupted surface. It's the look that makes a kitchen read as architecture rather than furniture.

  • No handles to clean around
  • Suits open-plan rooms
  • Best in a matt or satin finish

Shaker & painted kitchen — The classic that never datesThe classic that never dates

Shaker & painted

A framed door sprayed in any colour you like. Warm, familiar and forgiving — and because it's sprayed rather than printed, it can be matched to a wall colour or repainted years later.

  • Any colour, matched to your walls
  • Hides small knocks well
  • Pairs with timber or stone tops
Ask about this style
Timber tops kitchen — Warmth against a painted runWarmth against a painted run

Timber tops

A solid butcher-block worktop set against painted or gloss units. It's the cheapest way to stop a white kitchen feeling clinical, and unlike stone it can be sanded and re-oiled years later.

  • Warm underhand
  • Re-oil rather than replace
  • Pairs with any door colour

Two-tone kitchen — Contrast where it countsContrast where it counts

Two-tone

Light units with a darker oven tower, island or splashback. It breaks up a long run, hides the busiest part of the kitchen, and costs no more than a single colour.

  • Hides marks where it matters
  • Breaks up a long wall
  • No extra cost over one colour

What's in the price

One number. The whole kitchen.

The thing people dread is the quote that grows once the old units come out. Ours doesn't. Here's exactly what a kitchen price covers — and the two things it deliberately doesn't.

Carcasses & doors

Moisture-resistant board carcasses with edged shelving, and door fronts in the style and finish you've chosen.

Worktops

Granite, quartz, Caesarstone or solid butcher-block — templated off the fitted carcasses so the fit is exact, with sink and hob cut-outs.

Ironmongery

Soft-close hinges and drawer runners as standard, plus handles, corner solutions, waste bins and internal drawer organisers.

Appliance housing

Built-in oven towers, extractor housings, integrated fridge and dishwasher surrounds, all sized to your actual appliances.

Strip-out & disposal

The old kitchen comes out and goes away. No skip on your pavement for a fortnight, no rubble left behind.

Splashbacks & trims

Glass, tile or matching board splashbacks, plinths, cornices and end panels — the details that decide whether it looks fitted or dropped in.

Not included, and why
  • Plumbing and electrical work — we coordinate our trusted trades but they invoice you directly, so you're not paying our margin on their labour
  • Moving structural walls or windows, which needs a builder and sometimes council approval
Every kitchen is quoted

We don't publish rates, because no two kitchens are the same size, shape or finish. You get one fixed written price after a free measure — and it doesn't move unless you change the brief.

Materials & worktops

What your kitchen is actually made of.

Size matters less than you'd think. What a kitchen costs is mostly decided by the doors and the worktop — so here's what each option is actually like to cook in, clean and live with.

Budget

Melamine board

A tough printed surface bonded to board. Hard-wearing, wipes clean, and comes in dozens of woodgrains and solid colours.

Best for Bedroom cupboards, garage and pantry storage, rental units

Mid

Supawood, spray-painted

Routed and sprayed to a seamless painted finish in any colour you like. The usual choice for shaker doors and painted kitchens.

Best for Painted kitchens, vanity units, anything colour-matched to a wall

Premium

High-gloss acrylic

A mirror-sheen face that throws light back into the room. Makes a small or north-facing kitchen feel considerably bigger.

Best for Compact kitchens, media walls, contemporary apartments

Premium

Timber veneer

A real wood face on a stable board core. You get genuine grain — and it can be matched across a run so the pattern flows.

Best for Media walls, built-in studies, feature panelling

Top

Solid timber

Oak, meranti or ash worked as solid stock. The heaviest, longest-lived option, and the only one that can be sanded and refinished decades later.

Best for Doors, staircases, heirloom furniture, statement kitchens

Premium

Worktops

Granite, quartz and Caesarstone templated off the fitted carcasses, or a solid butcher-block top if you want warmth underhand.

Best for Kitchen and scullery runs, islands, vanity counters

Swatches here are indicative of tone and sheen only. Ask us to bring the real board and worktop samples to your measure — colour on a screen is never colour in your kitchen.

How it works

From a photo on your phone to a fitted kitchen.

No showroom appointments, no sales pressure, no paying for a quote. Here's exactly what happens after you message us.

Start with step one
  1. 01

    Send us a photo of your kitchen

    2 minutes

    WhatsApp a photo of the room as it is — plus a picture of a kitchen you like, if you have one. A rough run in metres helps, but we'll confirm it ourselves.

  2. 02

    Free measure & 3D design

    Usually within 48 hours

    We measure properly, check where the plumbing and plugs actually are, and talk through layout, doors, worktops and handles. You get a 3D visual before anything is cut.

  3. 03

    Fixed written quote

    Same or next day

    One price covering carcasses, doors, worktops, splashbacks, ironmongery, delivery, installation and taking the old kitchen away. It doesn't move unless you change the brief.

  4. 04

    Built, then fitted

    2–4 weeks, 2–4 days on site

    Your kitchen is built in the workshop while you carry on as normal. Only the strip-out and install disrupt the house — usually two to four days — then we walk the finished job with you before the final payment.

Who you're dealing with

The person who measures your kitchen is the person who builds it.

Andrews Kitchens is run by Andrew Mojela, who has been building and fitting kitchens across Johannesburg & Pretoria since 2011. No showroom, no sales floor, no commission — just a workshop and the people who work in it.

That matters more than it sounds. Kitchens go wrong in the handover — a salesperson promises something the workshop can't build, a measurement gets transcribed wrong, and by the time anyone notices the worktop is already cut. Take the handover out and most of that disappears.

Most of our work comes from people whose neighbours or family we've already built a kitchen for. That's the only marketing that has ever really worked in this trade — which is exactly why we won't cut a corner you can't see, least of all inside a carcass.

For contractors & builders

A carpentry sub that turns up when the programme says so.

Most of our work is for homeowners, but a steady share is subcontracted to builders, renovation contractors and small developers across Johannesburg & Pretoria. Different job, different conversation.

We quote off drawings

Send plans, elevations or a schedule of finishes and you'll get a measured quote back without us setting foot on site. We'll flag anything that won't build as drawn before it becomes a variation.

Sequenced to your programme

We work to your dates, not ours — including second-fix after the tilers, and phased installs across units. If we can't hold a date we tell you when you ask, not the week before.

Repeat units at repeat rates

Townhouse rows, apartment blocks and estate developments. Once a unit type is set up in the workshop the per-unit cost drops, and we price it that way rather than pretending each one is bespoke.

One trade, the whole carpentry package

Kitchens, built-in cupboards, doors and frames, ceilings, bulkheads and flooring from a single subcontractor. Fewer interfaces to chase and one number to call when something moves.

Straight answers

The questions everybody asks.

Including the ones about money. If yours isn't here, ask on WhatsApp — you'll get a real answer, not a brochure.

Ask a question

How much does a new kitchen cost?

Every kitchen is quoted individually, because no two are the same size, shape or finish — so we don't publish rates. What we can tell you is that the run of cabinetry and the door finish decide most of it. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest ballpark before we even come out, then a fixed written price after a free measure.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

Usually two to four days. Your kitchen is built in our workshop while you carry on as normal — only the strip-out and the install actually disrupt the house. We'll tell you the exact dates before we start so you can plan around it.

Do you charge for a quote or a design?

No. The on-site measure, the 3D design and the written quote are all free within 40km of Johannesburg. Free on-site measure and quote within 40km. Further afield is welcome — we'll agree a small call-out fee upfront.

Can you work with my existing layout, or does everything move?

Either. Keeping the sink and hob where they are is by far the cheapest route, because nothing needs re-plumbing or re-wiring. If you do want to move things we'll tell you honestly what that adds before you commit to it.

Do you supply the worktops too?

Yes. Granite, quartz, Caesarstone or solid butcher-block, templated off the carcasses once they're fitted so the fit is exact — including the sink and hob cut-outs. It's quoted as part of the kitchen, not bolted on afterwards.

What about the plumbing and electrical work?

We coordinate our trusted plumber and electrician around our dates, but they quote and invoice you directly. That way you're not paying our margin on their labour, and you get their compliance certificate in your own name.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. A 60% deposit covers the board, worktops and ironmongery, which are bought in for your kitchen specifically. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the finished job with us and you're happy.

What guarantee do I get?

Every installation carries a 2-year workmanship guarantee. Hinges and runners carry their manufacturer's guarantee on top of that. If a door drops, a joint lifts or a drawer stops running true within that period, we come back and sort it out.

Can you just replace the doors and keep my carcasses?

Often, yes — and it can save you more than half the cost of a new kitchen. It only works if the existing carcasses are square and sound, which we'll check honestly at the measure. If they're swollen or sagging we'll tell you rather than take your money for a refacing that won't last.

Do you only do kitchens?

Kitchens are what we're known for, but the same workshop builds bedroom cupboards, media walls, built-in studies, ceilings, doors and flooring. Bundling them into one job usually costs less than booking two.

Can you work from a photo I found online?

Absolutely, and most customers do. Send the picture on WhatsApp and we'll tell you what it would cost to build in your space, and where a small change in materials would get you most of the look for considerably less.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across Johannesburg & Pretoria, including Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Midrand, Fourways, Bryanston, Northcliff, Soweto and surrounds. If you're further out, ask — we travel for larger jobs.

How long have you been doing this?

15 years, since 2011, working across Johannesburg & Pretoria.

Sending photos speeds everything up

A photo of the space, plus one of something you like the look of, is usually enough for us to give you a realistic ballpark before we even come out. WhatsApp is the easiest way to send them.
