Why Our Specialty Cabinets Stand Out in Derby
Looking for something beyond ordinary kitchen units? Our specialty cabinet creation service in Derby brings your dream storage solutions to life. We don't just sell cabinets - we solve problems. That awkward corner that wastes space? The collection of spices that never stay organised? The pet feeding area that's always in the way? We've got solutions for all these and more.
After 25+ years fitting kitchens in Derbyshire, we know what works. Our Derby workshop crafts cabinets that match your exact needs, not just standard sizes from a catalogue. And yes, we've made some pretty unusual ones over the years!
"We never thought we could have a proper pantry in our small kitchen, but the pull-out system they designed gives us more storage than we've ever had" - Mrs. Jennings, Littleover
Cabinet Maker & Fitted Furniture Supplier Derby
As Derby's trusted cabinet maker and fitted furniture supplier, we bring craftsmanship back to your home. We've watched big companies push out identical kitchens for years, but that's not our way. Our small team of Derby-based craftsmen take pride in creating something special for each customer.
What makes us different? Simple - we listen. Your lifestyle, your cooking habits, your storage struggles - these shape every cabinet we create. Some customers come with sketches, others just describe a problem. Either way, we turn those ideas into specialty cabinets that work beautifully.
Our Derby workshop uses a mix of traditional woodworking techniques and modern precision tools. This means your specialty cabinets aren't just pretty - they're built to last decades, not years.

Questions People Ask About Specialty Cabinet Creation
What's the difference between specialty cabinets and standard ones?
Standard cabinets come in fixed sizes and basic configurations. Our specialty cabinets are:
- Made specifically for your space - not forced to fit
- Designed around how you actually use your kitchen
- Built with special mechanisms for specific functions
- Crafted to solve particular storage problems
It's like the difference between off-the-rack and tailored clothes. Both cover you, but one fits perfectly.
How much do specialty cabinets cost compared to regular ones?
We won't pretend specialty cabinets are the cheapest option - quality never is. But they're not as expensive as you might think:
- Simple pull-out systems start from about £350
- Mid-range specialty cabinets like corner optimisers typically range from £600-£900
- Premium solutions with complex mechanisms range from £1,000-£1,800
Remember that specialty cabinets often replace multiple standard units while providing better functionality, so the cost difference isn't always as great as it first appears.
Can you add specialty cabinets to my existing kitchen?
Yes! Many of our projects involve adding specialty cabinets to existing kitchens. Options include:
- Replacing individual problem cabinets while keeping the rest
- Adding internal mechanisms to existing cabinet shells
- Creating standalone specialty pieces that complement your current kitchen
- Retrofitting new drawer systems inside existing cabinets
We're experts at matching existing styles and finishes for a seamless look.
How long does specialty cabinet creation take?
From initial contact to installation:
- Simple specialty cabinets - 3-4 weeks
- Mid-complexity solutions - 4-6 weeks
- Whole kitchen with multiple specialty elements - 6-10 weeks
We'll always give you a realistic timeframe before you commit.
Do specialty cabinets add value to my home?
In our experience, quality kitchen improvements nearly always add more value than they cost. Estate agents in Derby regularly tell us that unique, practical storage solutions are a strong selling point. In fact, many of our customers come to us after viewing a house with our specialty cabinets!
