Sustainable Kitchens

A handmade kitchen built to last decades is a sustainable choice in itself. Beyond that, we keep our impact low with solar-powered workshops, water-based finishes and locally sourced timber.

A GREENER FUTURE

Solar-powered. Half our workshop electricity comes from a solar field. Water-based low VOC paints and finishes. Locally sourced timber from a Herefordshire sawmill. LED Lighting options and Built to last backed by a 15-year guarantee.

Built to last

The most sustainable kitchen is one you never have to replace. Ours are handmade from quality board and solid timber with traditional joinery, built to last decades rather than years which is why we back every kitchen with a 15-year guarantee. A kitchen truly built to last.

Water-based paints

All our paints and finishes are water-based. They release fewer VOCs which means it is better for the environment and for the air in your home, and they're more durable, which helps us stand behind our 15-year guarantee. Every kitchen comes with a care guide and a small pot of touch-up paint matched to your cabinetry, so small marks are easy to fix. And because the paint is water-based, repainting years down the line is straightforward too.

Workshops

50% of our workshop electricity is powered by the sun, with a field of solar panels alongside the business park. Solar panels are a renewable energy source and don't produce greenhouse gases, making them the best choice of green energy for our workshops.

Local Suppliers

Wherever we can, we buy close to home. Our timber comes from a sawmill in Pontrilas, just down the road in Herefordshire; our paint and lacquer are made in Birmingham; and our taps and handles come from Birmingham and Tewkesbury. Sourcing nearby cuts the miles our materials travel, the delivery emissions with them, and supports other businesses and jobs across the region.

LED Lighting

LED lights have a significantly smaller carbon footprint and use up to 80% less energy than traditional lighting. Free from harmful chemicals, they also reduce light pollution and last much longer, making them a greener, more sustainable choice.
