Broken-plan kitchen and dining room
4 weeksShowroom-grade websites for independent fitters.
We are a small studio of designers and tradesmen who happen to employ each other. The person who draws your kitchen sits two desks from the person who fits it. There is no sub-contracted finishing trade, no third party to blame when a tile cracks, no one to argue with when a deadline slips. One team. One fixed price. One signature on the back of every door.

4 weeksOne studio carries every job end to end. No sub-contracted finishing trades, no third parties to blame, no excuses about whose responsibility it was. If we put our name on it, we built it.
A studio visit or a site visit, two hours, no charge. Layout, budget, how you actually use the space.
Plans, elevations and CGI renders within ten working days. You see exactly what you are buying.
Itemised against the spec, valid for ninety days. Materials, labour, electrics, plumbing, waste.
Most kitchens in three to four weeks. Most bathrooms in two. Daily clean-down, weekly update.
Fourteen-day snag window. Final ten percent paid only once you are entirely satisfied.
Working displays of every cabinet, worktop, tap and tile we install. Run the water. Open every drawer. Take a piece of stone home.
Specified into your quote at trade prices. We do not mark up materials.
Four weeks from strip-out to first dinner party, exactly as quoted. Everything they said they would do on day one happened by the date they said it would.
Two bathrooms and an en-suite. They warned us about the joists in the master, quoted the variation that day, and finished the job for the original price plus the documented extra. Honest people.
Most kitchens are three to four weeks from strip-out to sign-off. Most bathrooms are two. We give you a written timeline before a single fitting is removed, and we ring the bell when we are an hour away on day one.
Yes. Floors covered, walls protected, dust sheets between every room we pass through. Skips booked in advance and parked on permit-purchased bays. End of day, the working area is swept and the rest of the house is left as you would want it.
Twenty-five percent design and order deposit, thirty percent on first fix, thirty-five on second fix, and the final ten only after the snag list is signed off. The total never moves from the quoted figure unless you change the spec, and then only in writing.
Old plumbing, rotten timber, dodgy electrics. It happens. We document with photos, quote the variation in writing on the same day, and you decide whether to proceed before we charge anything extra. Never a surprise on the final invoice.
Tell us about the project. Forge Kitchens will reply within one working day with two or three times that suit, either at the studio or at your place.
