Types of Pantry Solutions We Offer
Walk-in Pantry Design
A walk-in pantry gives you tons of storage in one dedicated space. We can convert an existing cupboard or create a completely new room. Our walk-in pantries include custom shelving, clever storage solutions, and proper lighting so you can see everything you have.
"Having a walk-in pantry has transformed our kitchen. Everything is so organised now, and I can see all my ingredients at a glance. Best home improvement we've made!" - Sarah, Allestree
Butler's Pantry
A butler's pantry goes beyond simple storage. These multi-functional spaces include countertops for food prep, sometimes a sink, and often space for small appliances. They're perfect for keeping your main kitchen tidy while you prepare food or drinks for entertaining.
Cabinet Pantries
Don't have space for a walk-in? Our cabinet pantries pack amazing storage into a smaller footprint. We design tall cabinets with adjustable shelving, pull-out drawers, door racks, and other clever solutions to maximise every inch.
Larder Cupboards
A traditional larder cupboard brings classic British kitchen design to your home. These freestanding or built-in units offer versatile storage with a distinctive style. We can create modern or traditional larder designs that become a feature in your kitchen.
Pull-out Pantry Systems
For narrow spaces or galley kitchens, our pull-out pantry systems are brilliant. These slim units slide out to reveal multiple shelves, making even the smallest spaces useful for storage.
Corner Pantry Solutions
Kitchen corners often waste space. Our corner pantry solutions, including carousel units and clever door designs, turn these awkward areas into valuable storage.
Pantry Design Features
Adjustable Shelving Systems
Our pantry shelving is fully adjustable to fit items of different heights. This flexibility means your storage can evolve as your needs change.
Pull-out Drawers and Baskets
Smooth-running drawers and pull-out wire baskets make it easy to access items at the back. No more forgotten food hiding out of reach!
Door Storage Options
We can add racks to the inside of pantry doors for spices, oils, or small packets - using every available space for storage.
Specialised Storage Solutions
From wine racks to bread drawers, spice organizers to potato bins, we can include special features tailored to what you like to cook and eat.
Custom Lighting Solutions
Good lighting makes all the difference in a pantry. We install LED strip lights, sensor lighting that comes on when you open the door, or even glass-shelf lighting for a luxury touch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pantry Design & Installation
How much does a custom pantry cost in Derby?
Custom pantry prices vary based on size, materials, and features. A simple cabinet pantry might start around £1,200, while a fully fitted walk-in pantry with premium features could be £5,000+. We provide detailed quotes after seeing your space so there are no surprises.
What's the minimum space needed for a walk-in pantry?
A functional walk-in pantry can work in as little as 1.2m x 1.2m, though 1.5m x 1.8m or larger gives more flexibility. Even small spaces can be transformed into useful pantries with the right design.
What's the difference between a larder and a pantry?
Traditionally, a larder was used for storing perishable foods in cool conditions (often with a marble shelf), while a pantry was for storing dry goods, dishes, and linens. Today, the terms are often used interchangeably, though "larder" typically refers to a specific type of tall cabinet, while "pantry" can mean any food storage space.
How long does pantry installation take?
A cabinet pantry typically takes 1-2 days to install, while a walk-in pantry might take 3-5 days depending on complexity. Custom-built pantries are crafted in our workshop first, making the actual installation process quicker and less disruptive.
Can you match my existing kitchen cabinets?
Yes! We can match existing cabinetry styles, colours, and finishes to create a pantry that looks like it was part of the original kitchen design. We can also create contrasting pantries that serve as a feature piece.
What are the best materials for pantry shelving?
We recommend solid wood or high-quality plywood with proper edging for pantry shelves, as these materials are durable and can handle the weight of canned goods and appliances. Adjustable shelf systems provide the most flexibility for changing needs.
Do you offer pantry organisation services?
While we don't provide full organisation services, we do offer guidance on pantry setup after installation. We can recommend local professional organisers for a complete pantry system.
