Are you fed up with kitchen clutter? Tired of never having enough space for your pots, pans, and kitchen gadgets? Our team at Derby Kitchen Fitter creates beautiful, practical wooden storage solutions that are built just for you and your kitchen.

With over 20 years of fitting kitchens across Derby and Derbyshire, we know exactly how to make the most of your kitchen space - whether it's big or small. Our custom wooden storage options don't just look great, they make your kitchen work better for real life.

Why Choose Custom Wooden Storage for Your Kitchen?

Mass-produced kitchen cabinets never quite fit right, do they? Those awkward spaces, hard-to-reach corners, and drawers that don't hold what you need them to – it's all a waste of precious kitchen space.

Our bespoke wooden storage solutions are different. We build everything to fit your exact kitchen measurements and your specific needs. Nothing is standard because your kitchen isn't standard.

We use solid hardwoods and high-quality materials that will last for years, not months. Our customers in Borrowash, Long Eaton, and across Derby tell us they wish they'd upgraded to custom storage years ago!

Joiner Derby: Expert Craftsmanship for Your Home

Our Derby joiners are proper craftspeople, not just installers. There's a massive difference between someone who assembles flat-pack units and a skilled joiner who can create bespoke pieces that fit perfectly in your home.

With a qualified joiner Derby homeowners get:

  • Storage solutions that maximise every inch of available space
  • Beautifully crafted dovetail joints that last for decades
  • Custom pieces that work around your home's quirks and features
  • Timberwork that adds value to your property

Our joinery team has tackled everything from compact kitchens in Derby city flats to grand country homes in Alfreton and Ripley. Whatever your space constraints or storage dreams, we've got the skills to make it happen.

The Craftsmanship Behind Our Wooden Storage

Good joiners are getting harder to find these days, but we've got some of the best in Derbyshire. Our team takes real pride in creating wooden storage pieces that are both beautiful and practical.

When you work with our joiners, you're getting decades of experience and genuine passion for woodworking. We don't cut corners - we're too busy crafting them to perfection!

Kitchen Storage Solutions That Really Work

Fed up with tumbling towers of tupperware? Can't find your favourite pan? Our kitchen storage solutions tackle those everyday annoyances head-on.

Pull-Out Larder Systems

One of our most popular options, pull-out larder systems make use of narrow spaces that would otherwise be wasted. A slim cabinet can pull out to reveal multiple shelves for tins, packets and bottles - everything visible and easy to reach.

A recent project in Sandiacre featured a 400mm wide pull-out larder that stored the family's entire collection of baking ingredients and spices - transforming what was previously a cluttered nightmare into a baker's dream.

Custom Drawer Organisers

Say goodbye to messy cutlery drawers and utensil chaos. Our wooden drawer organisers are made to fit your exact drawer dimensions and can be configured to hold whatever you need:

  • Neatly divided cutlery sections
  • Knife blocks built right into the drawer
  • Spice jar inserts with angled display
  • Adjustable dividers for larger items

A customer in Heanor recently asked us to create a custom drawer system for her cake decorating tools - with specific slots for each piping nozzle and tool. "It's changed my baking completely," she told us.

Innovative Corner Storage

Kitchen corners are notorious for wasted space. Our clever corner storage solutions make those awkward spots useful again with:

  • Carousel units that rotate for easy access
  • Pull-out corner drawers that extend fully
  • Diagonal corner cabinets with adjustable shelving
  • Le Mans pull-out shelves that swing out completely

Plate and Pan Storage

Stacking pans is a recipe for frustration. Our wooden pan storage options keep everything accessible:

  • Vertical dividers for baking trays and cutting boards
  • Adjustable wooden pegs for securing pots and pans
  • Custom plate stacks with grooves to prevent slipping
  • Lid organisers to keep everything matched up

Wooden Wine Storage

For wine lovers, we offer bespoke wooden wine storage options:

  • Under-cabinet wine glass holders
  • Custom bottle racks with display lighting
  • Temperature-controlled wine cabinet interiors
  • Integrated stemware storage

What Materials Do We Use for Quality Storage?

The quality of materials makes all the difference when it comes to kitchen storage. We're committed to using only the best:

Premium Hardwoods

For visible storage features, we offer a range of beautiful hardwoods:

  • Oak: Durable with a distinctive grain
  • Maple: Lighter colour with subtle grain pattern
  • Walnut: Rich, dark tones for a luxury feel
  • Cherry: Warm reddish tones that deepen with age

Quality Plywood Construction

For cabinet interiors and some storage solutions, we use premium marine-grade plywood:

  • Superior strength and stability
  • Resists warping and moisture damage
  • Environmentally sustainable option
  • Excellent durability for daily use

Smooth-Running Mechanisms

All our pull-out storage features high-quality hardware:

  • Soft-close drawer runners
  • Full-extension slides for complete access
  • Heavy-duty hinges for long-term performance
  • Adjustable components for perfect alignment

Our Design and Installation Process

Creating the perfect storage solution for your kitchen isn't complicated when you work with us.

1. Kitchen Storage Assessment

First, we visit your home to understand your kitchen storage needs. During this free consultation, we'll:

  • Measure your current kitchen space
  • Discuss pain points in your current storage setup
  • Identify opportunities for improved organization
  • Talk through how you use your kitchen day-to-day

A recent client in Beeston was struggling with limited space for her collection of cookbooks and speciality baking equipment. By talking through how she actually used her kitchen, we identified several underutilised areas that could be transformed.

2. Custom Storage Design

After understanding your needs, our design team creates custom storage solutions specifically for your kitchen:

  • Detailed drawings of proposed storage features
  • 3D visualisations so you can see how everything will look
  • Material samples for you to touch and feel
  • Transparent pricing with no nasty surprises

3. Skilled Fabrication

Our joiners handcraft your bespoke storage solutions in our Derby workshop:

  • Traditional joinery techniques for lasting quality
  • Precision cutting for perfect fits
  • Hand-finishing for a superior result
  • Quality checks at every stage of production

4. Professional Installation

When your custom storage pieces are ready, our installation team fits them perfectly:

  • Careful handling of all components
  • Precise alignment and levelling
  • Integration with existing cabinetry where needed
  • Clean and tidy work with minimal disruption

Recently, a family in Ilkeston had us install a complete kitchen storage system while they were on holiday - coming home to a totally transformed, clutter-free kitchen. "It was the best welcome home ever," they told us.

How Custom Wooden Storage Beats Mass-Produced Options

There's a world of difference between mass-produced storage accessories and our bespoke wooden storage solutions:

Built for Your Specific Needs

Off-the-shelf storage is designed for the average kitchen - but is your kitchen average? Our custom solutions are built around your specific needs and the way you actually use your kitchen.

Superior Durability

The plastic inserts and flimsy dividers from big box stores simply don't last. Our solid wooden storage solutions are built to last for decades with proper care.

Perfect Fit Every Time

No more wasted space or awkward gaps. Our bespoke pieces are measured and built to the millimetre for your exact kitchen dimensions.

Adds Value to Your Home

Quality joinery and bespoke wooden features add real value to your property - something that can't be said for plastic storage accessories.

Storage Solutions for Every Kitchen Size

Whatever the size of your kitchen, we've got solutions that work:

Small Kitchen Storage Ideas

Working with limited space? We specialise in maximising storage in compact kitchens:

  • Vertical storage that uses wall height effectively
  • Multi-function built-ins that serve several purposes
  • Pull-out systems that hide away when not needed
  • Slimline options for narrow gaps and spaces

Storage for Family Kitchens

For busy family kitchens, organisation is essential:

  • Kid-friendly lower storage for easy access
  • Designated zones for school lunch preparation
  • Pantry systems that make meal planning easier
  • Tough, cleanable surfaces that stand up to daily life

Luxury Kitchen Storage Features

For high-end kitchens, our bespoke storage adds sophistication:

  • Temperature-controlled wine storage
  • Custom display cabinets with integrated lighting
  • Speciality storage for collections and formal dining
  • Hidden storage that maintains clean, uncluttered lines

What Customers Ask About Wooden Storage Solutions

How Much Do Custom Wooden Storage Solutions Cost in Derby?

Custom wooden storage solutions typically range from £500 for simple drawer organisers to £3,000+ for comprehensive systems with pull-out larders and speciality storage. The final cost depends on:

  • The size and complexity of your storage needs
  • Materials chosen (hardwoods vs. plywood options)
  • Hardware requirements (basic vs. premium mechanisms)
  • Installation complexity

We provide detailed quotes after our initial consultation so there are no surprises.

What Woods Are Best for Kitchen Storage?

For kitchen storage, we recommend:

  • Oak: Extremely durable and moisture-resistant
  • Maple: Hardwearing with a clean appearance
  • Birch Plywood: Cost-effective with excellent stability
  • Walnut: Premium option with beautiful grain patterns

Your choice should reflect both your aesthetic preferences and practical considerations like maintenance and durability.

Can Storage Solutions Be Retrofitted to Existing Cabinets?

Yes! Many of our wooden storage solutions can be retrofitted to your existing kitchen cabinets. This is a cost-effective way to transform your kitchen without a complete renovation.

Options include:

  • Custom drawer inserts for existing drawers
  • Pull-out systems that replace fixed shelves
  • Door-mounted organisers for cabinet interiors
  • Replacement shelving with improved functionality

A client in West Bridgford recently had us retrofit all her kitchen cabinets with custom storage while keeping the original cabinet frames - saving thousands while getting a completely new kitchen experience.

How Long Does Installation Take?

Installation time frames vary based on the scope of your project:

  • Simple drawer organisers: Usually same-day installation
  • Medium projects (several cabinets): 1-2 days
  • Complete kitchen storage systems: 3-5 days typically

We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

What Maintenance Do Wooden Storage Solutions Require?

Wooden storage solutions are surprisingly low-maintenance:

  • Regular dusting with a soft cloth
  • Occasional wipe-down with a damp cloth (not soaking wet)
  • For hardwood surfaces, annual treatment with food-safe oil
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners

With proper care, your wooden storage should last decades.
