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?

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:

- Excellent durability for daily use
Smooth-Running Mechanisms
All our pull-out storage features high-quality hardware:
- Soft-close drawer runners

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

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.
