Bespoke Cabinet Manufacturing
What sets us apart from other cabinet installation companies is our ability to create completely custom solutions. Unlike big chain retailers who offer limited options, our workshop in Derby allows us to:

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
The quality of cabinet installation comes down to two things: materials and workmanship. We never compromise on either. Our fitted cabinets are constructed using:
- Solid timber frames for durability
- High-grade MDF or plywood for cabinet boxes
- Premium hinges and drawer runners for smooth operation
- Water-resistant materials for bathroom cabinets
- Eco-friendly finishes and paints
Each cabinet is carefully assembled in our Derby workshop before being transported to your property for installation. This ensures the highest quality control and minimizes disruption during the fitting process.
Our Professional Cabinet Installation Process
We've refined our cabinet installation service over two decades to ensure a smooth, efficient process from start to finish. Here's what you can expect when working with our professional cabinet installers:
1. Free Consultation and Measurement
The foundation of perfect cabinet fitting is accurate measurement. Our process begins with a free home visit where we:
- Take precise measurements of your space
- Discuss your storage needs and preferences
- Suggest optimal cabinet configurations
- Provide initial design ideas
- Explain material options and finishes
This consultation helps us understand exactly what you're looking for in your new cabinets.

- A comprehensive breakdown of costs
- Installation timeline
- Any additional services required (like removing old cabinets)
We believe in transparent pricing, so you'll know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
3. Cabinet Manufacturing
Once you approve the design and quote, our skilled cabinet makers get to work creating your bespoke fitted furniture. The manufacturing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on complexity and our current workflow.
4. Professional Installation
When your cabinets are ready, our experienced installers will:
- Prepare the installation site, protecting floors and surrounding areas
- Remove any existing cabinets if needed
- Ensure walls are level and suitable for mounting
- Install base cabinets with perfect leveling

- Final cleaning and removal of all packaging
We don't consider the job complete until you're completely satisfied with your new cabinets.
Cabinet Installation Costs in Derby
One of the most common questions we receive is about cabinet installation cost. While every project is unique, we can provide some general guidelines on what to expect.
Factors Affecting Cabinet Installation Pricing
The cost of your cabinet installation will depend on:
- Number and type of cabinets being installed
- Complexity of the installation (standard vs. custom solutions)
- Whether old cabinets need removing
- Any additional work required (like modifying walls)
- Materials and finishes selected
- Hardware choices (handles, hinges, etc.)
Transparent Pricing Promise
Unlike some cabinet installation companies who hide costs, we provide detailed quotations that break down exactly what you're paying for. Our quotes include:
- Cost of materials
- Labour for installation
- Any additional services
- VAT and all applicable taxes
- No hidden fees or surprise charges
Cost-Saving Options
If you're working with a strict budget, we can suggest ways to reduce cabinet installation costs:
- Phasing the installation over time
- Using alternative materials where appropriate
- Keeping some existing cabinets and replacing others
- Refacing cabinet doors rather than full replacement
For a custom quote tailored to your specific project, contact our team for a free consultation.
How Long Does Cabinet Installation Take?
The timeline for cabinet installation varies depending on the scale and complexity of your project.
Typical Installation Timeframes
As a general guideline:
- Small kitchen (8-10 cabinets): 1-2 days
- Full kitchen (15-20 cabinets): 2-3 days
- Custom built-in wardrobes: 1-2 days
- Home office cabinets: 1 day
- Bathroom vanity installation: Half day
These timelines assume all cabinets are ready for installation and no unexpected issues arise. For custom cabinet projects where we're both manufacturing and installing, you should allow 3-4 weeks from initial order to completed installation.
Minimizing Disruption
We understand having workers in your home can be disruptive. To minimize inconvenience, we:
- Work efficiently to complete installations as quickly as possible
- Clean up thoroughly at the end of each day
- Provide realistic timeframes so you can plan accordingly
- Respect your home and belongings throughout the process

Cabinet Installation FAQs
How much does it cost to have kitchen cabinets installed professionally?
The cost of professional kitchen cabinet installation in Derby typically ranges from £50-£150 per cabinet, depending on complexity. For a standard kitchen with 10 cabinets, installation labour costs would be around £500-£1,500. This doesn't include the cost of the cabinets themselves or any additional work like removal of old units or modifications to walls.
Do you install IKEA cabinets?
Yes, our team is experienced in installing IKEA cabinet systems. While IKEA cabinets are designed for DIY installation, many homeowners prefer having them professionally installed to ensure perfect alignment and stability. Our IKEA cabinet installation service ensures your flat-pack furniture is assembled correctly and installed to the highest standards.
Can you modify my existing cabinets instead of replacing them?
Absolutely! Cabinet modification is often a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. We can:
- Replace cabinet doors while keeping existing frames
- Add new internal features like pull-out shelves
- Extend existing cabinetry to fill gaps
- Convert standard cabinets to specialized storage
- Refinish or repaint cabinet exteriors
Our team will assess your existing cabinets and advise whether modification or replacement is the better option.
What's the difference between custom and stock cabinets?
Stock cabinets come in predetermined sizes and styles, limiting your options but typically costing less. Custom cabinets are built specifically for your space to exact measurements, allowing for:
- Perfect fit in unusual spaces
- Special features tailored to your needs
- Unique designs not available in stock options
- Choice of any material, finish, or hardware
- Maximizing every inch of available space
As both cabinet makers and installers, we can advise on whether stock, semi-custom, or fully custom cabinets would best suit your needs and budget.
Do you handle countertop installation as well?
Yes, we offer complete kitchen solutions including countertop installation. We work with various countertop materials including laminate, solid surface, quartz, granite, and wood. Our cabinet installation is coordinated with countertop fitting to ensure perfect alignment and finishing.
What preparation is needed before cabinet installation?
To prepare for cabinet installation:
- Clear the area where cabinets will be installed
- Remove items from existing cabinets if they're being replaced
- Ensure access to the space for our installation team
- Make decisions about hardware (handles, knobs) in advance
- If possible, have flooring installed before cabinet installation
Our team will advise on any specific preparations needed for your project during the consultation phase.
How are wall cabinets safely attached?
Securely installing wall cabinets is critical for safety. Our process includes:
- Locating and marking wall studs
- Using a stud finder to verify stud positions
- Installing a sturdy mounting rail where appropriate
- Using cabinet screws of appropriate length to secure into studs
- For masonry walls, using specialty fixings designed for heavy loads
- Checking weight capacity based on wall construction
- Testing all mounted cabinets for security
Our wall cabinet installation techniques ensure your cabinets will safely hold their intended contents without risk of pulling away from the wall.
