Andrews Kitchens — fitted kitchens and joinery
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

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.
