LET'S TALK MONEY

As you can appreciate, crafting handmade cabinetry includes many options that can make the price tag rather large - but is the cost as high as you expected?

EVERYONE HAS A BUDGET

At Minerva, we offer a wide variety of designs from traditional shakers to handleless contemporary, so there is something to suit everyone's style, but the question remains, why are handmade kitchens different to off-the-shelf kitchens? 

We handcraft each of our kitchens in our Herefordshire workshops instead of buying them from a mass-produced factory. We use high-quality, eco-friendly materials rather than melamine-faced chipboard (MFC) like most off-the-shelf companies, and we don't rely on filler panels to hide gaps because our designs are bespoke to your space. We design, measure, craft and fit quality cabinetry that's built to last, so...let's talk money. 

While certain specifications can increase or decrease the price, our average cost is around £20,000. This cost includes kitchen installation (dry fit), worktops, sinks, taps and handles, but it does not cover VAT or appliances. Our dry fit service is the installation of your kitchen cabinetry only; You may require other trades, such as an electrician or plumber, to complete any final connections. 

Each space and cabinetry specification is different, so we've put together some example layouts and pricing for the average specification below. (Please note these images are for illustration purposes only) These example kitchens are based on our entry-level specifications listed below:

. Crafted in our Ferrara collection

. Oak cabinetry carcass

. Entry-level Quartz

. Entry-level handles

. A cabinetry colour chosen from Minerva's Paint Palette 

. Solid Oak dovetail drawer boxes

. Soft close hinges and runners with three-dimensional adjustment
