We recently crafted and installed a beautiful solid oak kitchen, taking the journey from freshly cut, rough-sawn oak timber to a stunning, fully finished bespoke kitchen. In this blog, we’ll take you through each stage of the project, showcasing the craftsmanship, skill and attention to detail involved in transforming raw oak into a unique kitchen, built to last a lifetime.


Beginning Stages:


On arrival to the property, we came across rising damp occurring in the kitchen, which has previously been covered over, with layers of paint over the years. Floor beams below the floor were collapsing and broken due to two broken piers bridging the DPC (Damp proof course). Both piers needed to be removed.


In the slide show above, you can see the process of how we repaired this damp issue. We took the old beams and piers out that had lost structure and dropped due to the rising damp issue. After clearing out old piers, debris and rubble (which was initially bridging DPC - causing damp issue), We then built new piers (1st slide) and then installed new beams on top (2nd slide). The two final slides show the floor boarded, secure and ready for new LVT waterproof herringbone flooring.


Second stages:


After this step we prepped all the walls ready for top to bottom metro tiles, below are some pictures of the tiling process. Since our client wanted open shelving instead of wall units, we fixed the brackets for the shelving to the solid wall and tiled over the top for a more discreet but secure finish.


Our client opted to reuse the original solid quartz worktop, so we started to prep this also for reinstallation, Along with brand new Luxury click vinyl waterproof herringbone flooring.


Next stages:



This bespoke kitchen was crafted from rough sawn oak, to create a warm, long-lasting and tasteful space. During this project we planed the oak, sanded, filled, sanded and sanded some more...eventually bringing out the beautiful grain and patterns this oak had to offer.

Final stage:


The final moments of this beautifully crafted kitchen, was the fitting, finished with a clean professional seal all the way around...
