Aldana Kitchen Range, Free Quote, Derby, Derbyshire
Free Consultation
01332-529933
A design visit for the Aldana range starts with a tape measure and a laptop, not a sales pitch. Someone from the team comes out to your kitchen, measures the actual walls, alcoves and doorways, checks where the pipework and wiring already run, and works up a CAD drawing so you can see the Aldana doors, worktop and handles sitting against your own room before a single cabinet is ordered. It costs nothing to book and doesn't commit you to anything.
From there, the same joiners, plumbers and electricians who measured your kitchen are the ones who build and fit it - the job isn't handed off to a different subcontractor once the design is signed off. If you're weighing Aldana up against a cleaner, handle-free look, it's worth putting it side by side with our Georgia kitchen range before you commit, since both are built and fitted in-house at the same price structure - neither costs more just because of the name on the door.
Everything That Comes Out of the Workshop With an Aldana Order
- A free in-home design visit to measure your kitchen and talk through layout options
- CAD drawings so you can see the Aldana units, doors and worktop in your actual room before you commit
- Supply of Aldana cabinetry, made to measure rather than off a standard size chart
- Choice of worktop to go with it - laminate through to granite, quartz, Dekton or Corian, templated and cut by our stonemasons
- Full installation: carcasses, doors, worktops, splashbacks, plumbing and electrics fitted by our own tradespeople
- Removal and legal disposal of your old kitchen through our registered waste carrier licence
- A written, itemised quote before any work starts, and a signed guarantee on completion
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Structural work such as knocking through walls or moving load-bearing points - this needs a separate structural survey and Building Regulations sign-off
- New flooring, unless you ask us to quote it alongside the kitchen
- Gas hob or range cooker connection is carried out by our Gas Safe engineers but isn't automatically included in every quote - flag it early so it's priced in
- Major rewiring back to the consumer unit, as opposed to the kitchen circuit itself
- Appliances themselves, unless you'd rather we supply them - most customers buy their own and we fit around them
From Tape Measure to Sign-Off: How an Aldana Fit Runs
- Free design visit -- Someone comes out with a tape measure and a laptop to measure the room properly, look at where your pipework and wiring already run, and talk through how the Aldana units would sit against your walls, windows and doorways.
- CAD design and material choices -- You get a drawing of your actual kitchen with the Aldana doors, worktop and handles you've picked, so you can see it before ordering anything.
- Written, itemised quote -- Every cabinet, worktop metre, appliance and trade cost is broken out on paper, so there's nothing added on later that wasn't in the original price.
- Old kitchen removed -- Your existing units come out and go straight into our registered waste carrier's skip run, so nothing sits in your garden or driveway for weeks.
- Project-managed fit -- Joiners, plumbers, electricians and, where needed, plasterers work through in the right order rather than turning up separately, with the same person accountable for the whole job.
- Sign-off walk-through -- We go round the finished kitchen with you, sort any snags on the spot, and hand over your written guarantee.
What Actually Sets the Price on an Aldana Kitchen
Kitchen range names like Aldana don't come with a fixed national price list - the door style, worktop and appliance choices you make have more effect on the final figure than the range name does. As a rough steer, UK fitting labour alone averages around £3,500, and a full bespoke fitted kitchen - units, worktop and installation together - typically lands somewhere between £7,000 and £10,000 (Checkatrade, 2026 UK average). A small galley kitchen in Aldana units with a laminate worktop sits toward the lower end of that; a larger room with a stone worktop, integrated appliances and a run of handleless wall units pushes it higher. None of that replaces an actual figure for your kitchen - the only way to get one is a site visit, because room shape, existing plumbing and how much has to be stripped out first all move the number. The quote you get after that visit is itemised and written down, so you can see exactly what you're paying for before you sign anything.

Built Around Your Room, Not a Standard Cabinet Width
Aldana is made to measure rather than sold in fixed cabinet widths, and that's the real starting point for why this range gets chosen over an off-the-shelf one: the units are cut to fit your room, not the other way round, and that only works because of who's cutting them. Our joiners work from a bench-joinery background with formal City & Guilds training, which is the skill that lets a run of Aldana units step around a chimney breast or a boiler cupboard without leaving a filler panel to plug the gap - something a standard flat-pack carcass can't do. "We only fit kitchens to the standard we'd want in our own homes - and we put that in writing before we start," is the line the team works to, and it carries through the other trades on the job as well: plumbers qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds connect around whatever pipework is already in the room rather than expecting it to match a diagram, and our own Part P registered electricians certify the lighting and power circuit for the layout you've actually chosen. Where a gas hob or range cooker is part of the plan, that connection is carried out and commissioned by our own Gas Safe engineers rather than a subcontractor booked in for the day. Twenty years of building kitchens this way, as one crew rather than a chain of separate tradespeople, is also why the 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and 2 years on the products is backed by the same team that measured your awkward alcove in the first place - registered waste carriers for the old kitchen that comes out, and members of CITB and the Federation of Small Businesses. Alongside our own ranges like Aldana, we're also an independent fitting specialist for major supply-only brands including Howdens, Wren Kitchens, Magnet and premium German handleless systems, so a cabinet run shaped around an awkward corner or a boiler cupboard isn't unusual work for us.
Aldana Installs From Sunny Hill Out to the Peak District
Older stone-built cottages out toward Bakewell, Matlock and Wirksworth often throw up a chimney breast or an out-of-square wall that a factory-standard kitchen can't work around - it's one of the reasons a made-to-measure range like Aldana gets specified there more often than a fixed-width flat-pack range would. The workshop itself is at 573 Stenson Rd in Sunny Hill, Derby, and most Aldana installs are still within the city - Allestree, Mickleover, Chaddesden, Oakwood and the streets around Sunny Hill where we're based. Further into Derbyshire we fit the same range regularly in Chesterfield, Belper, Ripley, Duffield, Heanor, Ilkeston, Alfreton and Long Eaton, and out to Buxton, and we also cover Swadlincote and Dronfield, plus Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Terraced houses closer to the city centre bring a different problem to those Peak District cottages - narrow hallways and rear extensions with tight access mean units sometimes have to be carried through and built up in the room rather than delivered pre-assembled, which is something we plan for at the design visit rather than finding out on install day.
Aldana Range Questions, Answered Plainly
What does the Aldana kitchen range actually look like?
Aldana is one of our bespoke cabinetry ranges, made to measure rather than sold in fixed cabinet widths. Because it's built by our own joiners rather than cut from a factory catalogue, the door style and finish can lean traditional Shaker or a cleaner handleless look depending on what you choose at the design visit - it isn't locked to one fixed profile the way a mass-produced range often is.
Is Aldana more of a modern or a traditional design?
It can go either way, which is part of the point of having it made rather than bought off a shelf. If you want a traditional look we'll show you Shaker-style doors and warmer colours; if you want something sleeker we can do a handleless finish with the same carcasses. Bring photos of kitchens you like to the design visit and we'll tell you honestly which parts are realistic for your room and budget.
What worktop and handle options come with the Aldana range?
You're not tied to one worktop - laminate, solid wood, granite, marble, quartz, Dekton and Corian are all fitted by us, templated and cut by our own stonemasons rather than sent out to a third party. Handles are chosen separately too, including a handleless option if you'd rather have push-to-open doors.
How much does an Aldana-style kitchen cost?
There's no single figure, because the range name doesn't fix the price - your choice of worktop, appliances and how much of the old kitchen has to come out first do that. As a general guide, UK fitting labour averages around £3,500 and a full fitted kitchen typically runs £7,000 to £10,000 including materials. A written, accurate figure for your kitchen only comes after a site visit.
How long does an Aldana kitchen take to fit?
A straightforward galley kitchen with standard connections usually takes under two weeks from removal to sign-off. A larger kitchen with a stone worktop, plastering, rewiring or a layout change takes longer, because the worktop has to be templated after the units are in and then cut and fitted a few days later. You'll get a realistic timeframe once we've seen the room.
Can Aldana units fit into a small kitchen?
Yes, because it's made to measure rather than sold in fixed widths, we can adjust cabinet sizes to fit an awkward galley or a room with a boiler cupboard or chimney breast eating into the space, which a standard flat-pack range often can't do without leaving a gap filler panel.
Can I get the Aldana range without pre-fitted handles, for a handleless finish?
Yes, the same door and carcass can be ordered without handles and fitted with a push-to-open or integrated handle system instead - it's a choice you make at the design stage rather than a different product.
Is the Aldana range compatible with integrated smart appliances?
Generally yes - because the units are made to measure, we can build cabinetry around integrated ovens, induction hobs and smart fridge-freezers rather than you having to buy appliances that fit a fixed carcass size. Tell us what you're planning to install at the design visit so the cabinetry is sized correctly around it.
How long is the wait between ordering and the fit starting?
It varies with how busy the workshop is and how much bespoke joinery your design needs, so we'll give you a realistic date once your order and worktop material are confirmed rather than a generic lead time that doesn't hold up.

Book Your Aldana Design Visit Before the Summer Slots Go
Aldana kitchens fitted through the summer get booked up early, since the same joiners who cut your units also fit them, and there's only so much workshop time to go round. A free design visit doesn't cost you anything or commit you to booking, but it does give you a proper CAD drawing and a written price to work from rather than a rough guess. Get in touch and we'll find a time that works, whether you're in Derby itself or out toward Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire.
