Frequently Asked Questions

Your project is carefully scheduled so each stage flows smoothly, with all trades coordinated and communication handled for you by your dedicated point of contact. Rubbish is removed from site regularly, working hours are kept to sociable times, and our team is always respectful of the fact that this is your home.

If you’re working while the installation is taking place, we can manage access and site entry to make things as easy as possible. We also understand that the kitchen is the heart of the home, so we work efficiently and prioritise getting essential areas such as the sink, fridge and cooker back in full use as quickly as possible.

The result is a well-organised, considerate installation with minimal stress and disruption to your day-to-day life.

Yes! All of the contractors that we use are highly trusted, qualified individuals with years of experience. They’re all fully insured and we’re proud to have them representing Kitchen Warehouse when they’re working in our customers’ homes.

Whilst we don’t currently offer an in house design service, our team are highly experienced and are able to offer both design advice and technical guidance. Our fitters are also able to adapt and problem solve as they go, so any technical or design queries that you have as your project evolves can be answered and resolved by communicating with your fitter, point of contact and the Kitchen Warehouse team.

Yes! This is included in the service. We will remove and dispose of your old kitchen and appliances and ensure that your space is left safe and ready for the contractors to start the next stage of the process.

Snags are a normal part of any kitchen renovation, which is why we’ve built a service specifically designed to deal with them quickly and with minimal stress. If you notice anything that needs attention, simply contact your dedicated point of contact as soon as convenient. They will take ownership of the issue and either arrange a replacement or organise for the appropriate contractor to resolve it promptly, ensuring everything is completed to the standard you expect.

Our motto is simple: “If it wouldn’t do in your own kitchen, it won’t do in a customer’s kitchen.” That principle guides every decision we make on your project.

Once you book your full fitting with Kitchen Warehouse, our team will prepare and issue a clear schedule of works, with your project typically commencing within just a few weeks. We carefully coordinate every stage of the installation, ensuring that all trades are scheduled in the correct order and that nothing overlaps unnecessarily — keeping your project running smoothly and avoiding delays. We will also make allowances for other external trades such as flooring and decorators to carry out their works in our schedule.

Everything! We’ve thought of everything so that you don’t have to. From the removal and disposal of your old kitchen to a full quality inspection of your finished kitchen, everything is covered including electrics, plastering, plumbing, fitting and delivery of your cabinets, appliances and accessories. We also organise your schedule and liase with all contractors ourselves so that you don’t need to.

We don’t include decorating or floor covering in our service to make our service as affordable as possible and to give our customers flexibility in their choices and schedules. As most decoraters aren’t VAT registered, it is generally far more cost effective for our customers to pay a decorator directly. It’s also often more time efficient for a decorator, or customers themselves, to decorate at the end of the fitting process or in the time allowed nearer the end of the project. We can recommend fantastic flooring companies that offer quality and affordable flooring options in our locality.

We’re incredibly proud of the wrap-around care we provide with our full fitting service, and it’s something we believe truly sets us apart. Our project management doesn’t simply begin on the first day of work and end when the tools are packed away — it starts the moment a customer begins thinking about their new space and continues until they are completely happy living in it.

Unlike many fitting services, we have a dedicated member of our team whose sole role is to support each customer throughout their project. They work as an extension of the customer’s own team: attending site regularly, managing communication, photographing and tracking snags, following up on any queries, and ensuring every detail is addressed.

At the end of the process, they carry out a full clean and final inspection, actively looking for anything that falls short of our standards. Our aim is simple: to find any faults before you do — and if we do, we fix them.

This level of care, attention and accountability is what allows us to deliver not just beautiful kitchens, but a genuinely stress-free experience.

Yes, we have a dedicated member of our team whose sole role is to look after your kitchen project from start to finish. They’ll be with you before, during and after installation — coordinating all trades, managing the schedule, checking the quality of the work, sorting any snags, handling access arrangements, and always being just a phone call away.

Most importantly, they’re there to support you. We know how stressful home renovations can be, so having one friendly, knowledgeable person who knows your project inside and out makes the whole experience feel far more manageable and reassuring.

Our drawer line kitchen base units come in a set of standard sizes. The height is slightly customisable due to the adjustable legs, but the depth remains at 560mm for each unit. There are 11 different widths available, so one of our standard-size drawer line units will likely fit your kitchen.

If you can’t find a drawer line cabinet with the correct dimensions for your kitchen, get in touch with us to discuss your options for custom cabinets. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on a design you love just because the standard sizes don’t fit your kitchen measurements.

Unfortunately, not all of our designs are customisable, but we can produce made-to-measure kitchen units in the Luxury Shaker and Acrylic styles. So, if you’re interested in drawer line base units with a custom depth and width, send us your specifications, and we’ll see what we can do.

We know you will be extremely excited to receive your drawer lined kitchen units. Here at Kitchen Warehouse, we endeavour not only to deliver exceptional products to our customers but deliver them in a reasonable timeframe.

The cost of our drawer lined base units depends on several factors. These include the size and style of kitchen units that you would like to order.

For example, our solid wood drawer line base units are more expensive than those manufactured by MDF.

As the name implies, a drawer line kitchen unit features a drawer at the top line. This creates a smaller cupboard space below, with a smaller door. These are often seen in more traditional designs, such as shaker-style kitchens and solid wood kitchens.

Highline kitchen units are larger because they forego the top drawer, providing more cabinet space. They’re an excellent choice for modern kitchens with a minimalist slab door design, such as handleless high gloss or handleless matt kitchens.

Highline kitchen base cabinets can also be combined with drawer line base units to optimise your storage space.

The standard height is 720mm, plus an extra 150mm, thanks to the adjustable legs, allowing you to raise this height to 870mm if you wish. The standard depth is 560mm, regardless of the width or number of drawers.

If you can’t find a drawer line kitchen unit or multi-drawer base unit with the correct measurements, you may be able to request a custom order for an added fee. See the FAQ below for more details.

Flat-pack kitchen units are typically come at a lower price than assembled units. Recently, flat pack kitchens have seen a surge in popularity as they can be easily ordered and delivered to the home.

Flat-pack units are very easy to install and are a cheap and convenient way to upgrade your space. They are also modular, meaning that different configurations can be chosen to fit any space – whether it be your kitchen or utility room. These products are also very affordable.

Flat-pack kitchen doors and drawer units arrive in a box and need to be assembled. These are products that you can set up yourself using the base components supplied. Almost all parts are pre-cut cut and drilled, which helps you to put the pieces together like a puzzle. We supply instructions for each piece and are always on the phone ready to take your calls.

Flat-pack complete kitchen units and cabinets are manufactured and delivered as separate, pre-cut components, which you then assemble yourself. These parts are assembled to make a robust and sturdy unit, which can then be used as a foundation for your chosen aesthetic style.

Flat-pack kitchens refer to kitchen cabinets supplied with all doors and panels stacked flat in a transportable box. This type of kitchen needs to be properly assembled and installation is often done by professional kitchen fitters or by homeowners themselves. Flat-pack kitchens therefore tend to be far more affordable.

Whilst many usually go for neutral-coloured furniture to avoid clashes, others choose more colourful items selectively to make bold statements. The beauty is that there simply is no right or wrong!

Most of the the flat-pack kitchen carcasses are made from Melamine Faced Chipboard. The doors are made from various materials depending on the door style chosen.

Here’s how you can fit flat pack kitchen units:

• Get the measurements of the space.
• Build the base units.
• Assemble the units together.
• Fix the base units in place.
• Mark out space for the wall units.
• Fix the wall units in place.
• Place the units together.
• Install the unit doors.

The best flat-pack kitchens in the UK can be far better for the environment than traditional kitchens. As these units come with less packaging, and take up less space, the carbon footprint of transportation is lower. In addition, less packaging also helps to reduce waste and landfill use.

Yes, especially light grey shades, which can make small spaces appear bigger and brighter. Darker greys are better suited for larger areas or as accent colours in smaller kitchens.

Enhancing a grey kitchen can be done by integrating metallic accents like stainless steel appliances or copper light fixtures, using bright or contrasting colours for stools or decor items, or adding indoor plants for a touch of natural green.

Worktops in white, black, or wooden finishes work beautifully with grey units. Choose a contrasting shade for a bold look or a similar grey tone for a subtle, sophisticated design.

Good lighting is crucial, especially in darker grey kitchens. Opt for layered lighting with a combination of overhead, task, and accent lights to enhance functionality and atmosphere.

Yes, with the right care and quality paints, hand painted kitchens can resist wear and tear, ensuring longevity.

Yes, a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent is all you need for everyday maintenance. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh sprays, as these can dull the finish. The smooth painted surface also means no open grain for grease to get trapped in, making painted kitchens a practical choice for busy households.

The beauty of hand painted kitchens lies in their versatility. You can choose from a wide range of colours to suit your personal taste and decor.

Dive into the world of hand painted kitchens with our exquisite range and let your kitchen tell a story of elegance, and timeless charm.

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent will keep your painted kitchen looking fresh. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Yes, handleless kitchens, especially those with a slab door, are designed for durability and long-lasting performance.

Yes, the sleek and uncluttered design of handleless kitchens makes them ideal for both large and small spaces, offering a sense of openness.

Absolutely! Handleless kitchens come in a variety of colours, from classic white to bold black and everything in between.

Handleless kitchen doors use integrated handles or recessed channels, allowing for easy opening and closing without the need for traditional handles.

Cleaning handleless kitchens is straightforward. A damp cloth and mild detergent are usually sufficient to keep the surfaces clean and spotless.

Handleless kitchens offer a streamlined and uncluttered look, making spaces appear larger. They are also easy to clean and maintain due to the absence of protruding handles.

A handleless kitchen is characterised by its absence of traditional external handles, offering a sleek design with integrated handles or recessed channels for easy access.

While both designs lack external handles, true handleless kitchens employ a specific recessed channel system, offering a more seamless appearance.

Handleless kitchens often employ materials like natural wood, laminate, and high-gloss finishes, depending on the desired look and budget.

Generally, true handleless kitchens can be more expensive than traditional designs because of the specialized cabinetry and rail systems required. However, many homeowners believe the aesthetic appeal and other benefits outweigh the additional costs.

Absolutely! The design offers both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The easy-to-clean nature and efficient space utilization make it suitable for households of any size and cooking frequency.

Yes, handleless designs are often considered safer for homes with children. The absence of protruding handles reduces the risk of children catching their clothes or hurting themselves on sharp handle edges.

Yes, many manufacturers offer the recessed rail systems in a variety of finishes and colors. This allows homeowners to customize their kitchen design to their style preferences.

True handleless kitchens typically require less maintenance than traditional kitchens since there are fewer crevices where dirt can accumulate. Simply wipe down the surfaces regularly. For the rail system, occasionally cleaning it out will ensure smooth operation of doors and drawers.

The rail system is built directly into the cabinetry. When you want to open a cabinet or drawer, you simply place your fingers behind the door or drawer front and pull forward. The recessed design offers a grip to easily open or close the unit.

A true handleless kitchen features a design without external handles on the cabinet doors or drawers. Instead, it employs a recessed rail system integrated into the cabinetry, allowing easy access without the need for protruding handles.

One type of kitchen that we don’t offer is in-frame kitchens. This mainly because of all the problems that come with an in-frame kitchen. The doors and drawers can rub on the frames with time, removing the paintwork or lacquer and they require constant maintenance with hinge and drawer adjustment. This is due to the small margin around the kitchen door or drawer front to the frame, it can be as simple as a heavy item like a big pan being placed in a drawer or removed from a drawer that causes the frontage to move and rub on the frame. We do think they look amazing when fitted, but we believe that not every kitchen is a show kitchen. Most people need their kitchen to work for them and their kitchen should be a practical and functional working space that is low maintenance as well as attractive.

The other kind of kitchen cabinets that we don’t offer is ones that are fitted with vinyl pressed kitchen doors. We can get these doors however, we don’t sell these on our website at all. Or through our showroom, unless someone is absolutely adamant that is what they want them.

We will try and talk them out of it and explain all the downsides to these doors if possible as they have no longevity and don’t function well in a kitchen due to the heat and condensation. These kitchen doors are what I would class as a low-quality kitchen door, they are manufactured using an old fashioned technique, where a pattern is machined out of a piece of MDF and then a piece of vinyl is glued around the kitchen door. I would say these have a life span of around 2-3 years if you are lucky. You may have seen these doors. They are the ones where the covering in front of the kitchen doors starts to peel off on the back corner of the door, exposing a sharp brittle vinyl edge that come away from the door. The first place to peel away is around the cooker area, where the glue is constantly getting warmed up and softened, the next place is around the sink where the doors get wet on a regular basis. The other place is above the kettle where the doors are exposed to both heat and moisture from the steam of the kettle.

A lot of kitchen companies still sell these types of kitchen cabinets. They are a low quality of kitchen, avoid them like the plague. If the kitchen you have been quoted for has vinyl pressed doors… grab your coat and run and don’t look back! You will be replacing your kitchen doors in 3-4 years if it lasts that long and we bet the kitchen door you bought has been discontinued by then and replaced with another design of vinyl wrap.

Every kitchen door manufacturer only offers a 1-year warranty with their doors. So get a good quality kitchen door. We don’t sell vinyl pressed kitchen doors or vinyl wrapped kitchen doors, as they go against what we are about as a company, and the service we aim to achieve for our customers. We believe in recommendations and repeat business and you won’t get either if you are selling this kind of kitchen doors.

While design trends evolve over time, the minimalist and sleek appeal of handleless kitchens has been popular for many years and seems to have lasting power. Its timeless aesthetic ensures it remains a favorite in modern home design.

The cost of a kitchen largely depends on the materials used, the appliances chosen, and the complexity of the design.

While some modern kitchen ideas can lead to higher budgets due to high-end designer materials and appliances, we also have cost-effective options available that still capture fresh, contemporary kitchen ideas.

Absolutely! Modern design principles prioritise efficient use of space, making them perfect for smaller kitchens.

Using light colours, incorporating efficient storage solutions, and choosing compact appliances can make even a small kitchen feel modern, cutting edge and spacious.

While contemporary kitchens are known for their clean lines and uniform look, adding personal touches like unique backsplashes, decorative items, or even a bold paint colour can make the space feel more personal and inviting.

Consider your personal preferences, the size of your kitchen, and the amount of natural light it receives.

Lighter colours like modern grey kitchen cabinets can make a space feel larger and brighter, while darker hues can add drama and sophistication. Remember, the colour should complement the overall design and feel of your home. If in doubt, a white modern kitchen always creates an elegant contemporary kitchen.

Contemporary design kitchens prioritise sleekness, minimalism, and functionality. They often feature flat panel doors, neutral colour palettes, and incorporate the latest appliances and technology.

Traditional kitchens, on the other hand, might have more ornate designs, detailed woodwork, and a more classic or rustic feel.

Not necessarily. One of the advantages of modern kitchen designs is their emphasis on functionality and ease of use.

For inspiration, features like flat panel doors, single pendant light and bold or dark backsplash to complement neutral cabinets can be used as focal point options and minimalist designs often make cleaning and maintenance easier.

A modern kitchen space often feature sleek and minimalist light fixtures. Pendant lights over kitchen islands, under-cabinet LED lighting, and recessed ceiling lights are popular choices.

The key is to ensure adequate and layered lighting for both functionality and ambiance.

A modern kitchen is characterised by its sleek design, clean lines, and a focus on functionality. It often incorporates contemporary kitchen designs with innovative storage solutions, cutting-edge appliances, and a blend of natural materials.

The use of natural light, versatile kitchen islands, and a minimalist approach to decor are also hallmarks of a modern kitchen. The aim is to create a space that’s both beautiful and functional, a place where both cooking and living coexist harmoniously.

Yes, both pink kitchens and cashmere can make small kitchens feel larger and more open. Their warm tones reflect light, creating a sense of space and openness.

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent will help maintain the beauty of your kitchen doors. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the paint or finish.

Absolutely! The clean lines and timeless design of shaker cabinets make them versatile for both small and spacious kitchens. Their simplicity can make a small kitchen feel larger, while in a big kitchen, they add a touch of classic elegance.

Shaker kitchens are known for their quality craftsmanship and use of durable materials like oak, making them long-lasting and robust.

Yes, kitchen islands, including those with shaker cabinets and shaker style doors, are a popular addition to many shaker kitchen designs, offering additional workspace and storage.

Certainly! While some prefer a uniform look, others opt for contrasting colours on their kitchen island or lower and upper cabinets to add a contemporary twist to the classic shaker design.

For painted shaker kitchen cabinets, it’s recommended to wipe them down with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals, and consider a mild soap for tougher stains.

While traditional shaker kitchens focus on natural wood and classic design, modern shaker kitchens often incorporate contemporary twists such as different paint colours like light grey, navy, or black, and might include modern fixtures and finishes.

A shaker style kitchen is characterised by its simple, unadorned design with clean lines, typically featuring five-piece cabinet doors with a recessed centre panel. It draws inspiration from the Shaker community’s principles of simplicity and functionality.

Given the simple design of shaker kitchens, accessories like vintage handles, open shelving, classic light fixtures, and natural wood or stone countertops complement the classic style beautifully.

Shaker kitchen doors often use natural materials, especially solid wood finishes like oak. However, painted wood, especially in shades like light grey or navy, is also popular in modern shaker kitchen designs.

The timeless appeal, combined with the versatility to adapt to both traditional and modern aesthetics, makes shaker style kitchens a favourite choice for many homeowners. Their focus on quality, functionality, and understated elegance ensures they never go out of style.

Yes, shaker cabinets, with their simple and elegant design, are a staple in traditional kitchens, offering both style and functionality.

Absolutely! Many traditional kitchens today incorporate modern appliances, fixtures, and design elements to ensure functionality and a contemporary twist.

While modern kitchens prioritise sleek lines and minimalist design, traditional kitchens embrace classic design elements, natural materials, and a more ornate style.

Traditional kitchen cabinets are often painted in neutral shades, with green, blue, and cream being popular choices. The use of natural timber also adds warmth to the space.

Traditional kitchens are characterised by their use of natural materials, classic design elements like shaker cabinets, painted finishes, and a focus on warmth and comfort.

Step into the vibrant world of green kitchens at Kitchen Warehouse UK and discover how you can transform your space into a refreshing haven of style and functionality. Whether you prefer the subtle hues of light green or the rich tones of dark green, our kitchens are designed to impress and inspire.

Accessorising a green kitchen can include elements like wooden cutting boards, white ceramic ware, and plants to enhance the natural vibe. Metal accents in copper or brass also complement green beautifully and add a touch of luxury.

Matte finishes are increasingly popular for green kitchens as they provide a modern, sophisticated look. Glossy finishes can also be used to reflect light and add a sense of space and vibrancy.

Green is a colour that harmonizes well with both natural light and artificial lighting, creating an inviting space that encourages relaxation and comfort. Green kitchens can easily adapt to different lighting conditions, looking vibrant and lively during the day and cozy and intimate by night.

Oak kitchen units should be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sponges, which can damage the wood’s surface. Periodic treatments with wood oils or polishes can help maintain the lustre and health of the oak over time.

Absolutely! Mixing and matching different shades of beige can add depth and interest to your kitchen. You can choose darker beige tones for your lower units and lighter shades for upper cabinets to create a balanced, layered effect.

Yes, beige kitchen doors can make small kitchens appear larger and more open. The light, neutral colour reflects natural light, enhancing the sense of space and openness in your kitchen.

At Kitchen Warehouse UK, we offer a variety of finishes for our kitchen doors, including matte, gloss, and wood grain textures. Each finish offers unique aesthetic and practical benefits, suitable for different styles and preferences.

While lighter-coloured doors and units might show things like smears more easily than darker colours, they are not harder to keep clean. Our kitchen doors are designed with easy maintenance in mind. A simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent will keep them looking pristine. Regular cleaning ensures they remain beautiful and hygienic for years to come.

Yes, you can mix and match different shades to create a unique and personalised kitchen design.

Our goal is to provide you with a tailored solution that meets the specific needs of your kitchen space. Explore our range of white, cream, and porcelain kitchens today and transform your cooking space into a bright and inviting area.

Often, yes. If your carcasses are sound and a standard size, you can refresh a tired run by swapping in glass-fronted units rather than replacing the whole kitchen. Updating a single run of wall units or adding one dresser-style feature can transform a kitchen that’s five to ten years old.

Usually bigger. It reflects and diffuses light and breaks up solid cabinet runs while still hiding clutter. In very small rooms, choose lighter carcass colours and slim frames, and focus the fluting on upper wall units — the vertical ribs draw the eye upward, which helps rooms with lower ceilings feel taller.

Because its texture is subtle rather than shiny, fluted glass pairs happily with stainless steel, black or panel-ready appliances. Coordinate the metalwork – brushed brass handles with a warm scheme or black-framed units with black ovens and taps; keeping at least one element, either the hardware or the worktop, smooth and simple so the overall look doesn’t feel overcomplicated.

With toughened safety glass, fluted features are well suited to family homes. Keep tall glazed partitions away from high-impact play areas and use solid fronts at low levels where small children might bump into them. Wall-height glass units sit above that zone, so they’re rarely an issue.

It’s less likely to than most. Although it’s surged in popularity in recent years, its Art Deco and mid-century roots give it a timeless quality. If you’re cautious, keep it to focused areas like a pantry door, dresser or island end so it’s easy to update later, and lean on neutral colours and classic proportions to help it age gracefully.

Yes. Items can be delivered to any address in the UK (and sometimes abroad), however, this must be clearly stated at the point of ordering. When checking out, an option is given to enter a delivery address that is different to the billing address.

To make the most of your low kitchen corner wall unit storage space, we can fit it with a carousel. Often referred to as a ‘Lazy Susan’, a cabinet carousel keeps all your low kitchen corner wall unit contents well organised and within easy reach.

Carousels are fitted with two or three shelves rotating around a central pole. Low kitchen corner wall units may better suit the two-shelf carousel option. Each of the shelves can be operated independently for ease of use and are fully height adjustable. This means that your taller items, such as condiments and oil bottles, will be housed easily.

Pull-out storage could be the ideal solution if you’d like to keep your crockery in your low kitchen corner wall unit. We can install low corner wall units with pull-out storage solutions so that it’s much easier to reach items at the back of your cabinet.

Pull-out storage in your low kitchen corner wall units will mean that your cereal bowls, plates, or whatever you choose to store in your low corner cabinets will be easily accessible.

As with the carousel option, pull-out storage shelves are fully height adjustable to accommodate items of varying sizes. We also provide the option of an anti-slip coating, which will prevent crockery from sliding around when the shelves are opened.

The best way to optimise a kitchen corner and avoid the problems of a blind corner cabinet is to use a diagonal wall unit. This kind of cupboard gives you more room to add efficient mechanisms that make it much easier to access whatever you store up there – even if it’s just a simple Lazy Susan.

Corners are often the loneliest spots in any room, as they’re an awkward space to fill. In kitchens, when wall units or base units meet at a corner, this is often referred to as a blind corner cabinet. It’s called a ‘blind corner’ because the inside of the cupboard is deep, dark, and difficult to reach.

Most people use these spaces to store rarely-used kitchen equipment, like excess plastic containers or that toastie maker they were gifted a few Christmases ago then forgot about. Essentially, things that you won’t be blindly reaching into the back of the cupboard to retrieve very often, if at all.

Depending on your kitchen’s ceiling height and layout, these low corner cabinets could be the ideal fit. While corner cupboards tend to be used less frequently than others, they still need to be durable – so we use strong 18mm Egger MFC (melamine-faced chipboard).

At Kitchen Warehouse, we thoroughly test all our products to ensure that we provide only the highest quality to our valued customers. You can opt to have your low corner wall units manufactured to match any of our beautiful kitchen ranges, including solid wood and gloss acrylic. The superb craftsmanship and quality materials that create all our kitchen units will ensure that your low kitchen wall cabinets can withstand the wear and tear of daily life.

Should you decide to opt for a solid wood kitchen, you can rest assured that we use only Grade A+ solid oak to produce our kitchen doors.

Be sure to look through our full range of kitchen cabinets to find the style and colourway you prefer. Most of our designs are available in 600mm deep corner units with a 300mm door or diagonal corner units for a smoother transition and easier access.

In addition to low corner units, we also offer standard corner units (720mm high) and tall corner units (900mm high) so that you can find the best possible fit for your ceiling height. Of course, we provide corner base units for lower runs and wall units for upper runs, with adjustable legs.

Kitchen Warehouse generally supplies 600mm corner, 300mm door units and diagonal corner units for wall and base installations. If you prefer, leave the doors off to create an open display corner unit, encouraging you to keep the shelves organised, so they don’t look untidy.

We also supply top boxes and bi-fold units at Kitchen Warehouse, allowing you to make the most of the space around the walls and squeeze some valuable extra storage into the overlooked areas.

Yes, with acrylic, quartz, granite or ceramic. Standard laminate isn’t suitable for undermount sinks.

No. Worktops are priced from your exact measurements, so we quote individually by phone, email or in the showroom.

Standard laminate, followed by compact laminate. Both come in a wide range of finishes, including convincing stone and wood effects.

Ceramic and quartz score highest for durability. Ceramic has the edge on heat and UV resistance; granite is the most heat-tolerant of the natural stones.

Absolutely! Incorporating various textures can prevent a black kitchen from feeling flat. Consider matte, gloss, or wood textures to introduce depth and interest.

Introduce elements of wood, such as wooden countertops or flooring, which can soften the look and add warmth. Textiles in rich colours, like rugs or curtains, can also bring cosiness to the space, achieving the perfect balance between warmth and sophistication in the kitchen’s design.

When selecting accessories for a black kitchen, consider items in shades of gold, bronze, and copper. These warm metals stand out beautifully against a dark background, adding a touch of elegance and contrast.

To balance the darkness of a black kitchen and enhance the cooking space, consider using lighter flooring, worktops, or wall colours. Adding good lighting fixtures strategically around the kitchen will also brighten the space and highlight the black features, making the cooking space feel more open and inviting.

Opt for bright, direct lighting such as LED down lights or under-cabinet lighting. Adding pendant lights with warm tones can also create a welcoming ambiance and offset the boldness of black.

We can offer alternative depth wall units upon request. In regards to widths. Depending on the style needed we may be able to offer a custom width wall unit.

Yes. You can pay by credit card either in person or over the phone. There is no charge for a debit card, Credit card, cash or cheque transactions. If paying by cheque no order will be processed until cleared funds are in the bank.

No. You do not need an appointment to visit the showroom however we do advise that on busier days you may need to wait to speak with a member of the sales team. We work on a first come first served basis but do have a number of members of staff who can help with any questions you may have. Saturdays are our busiest days so if you require extensive assistance, help or guidance, we would recommend trying to visit us Monday–Friday between 9am and 6pm.

Yes. We can offer an installation service if required. We offer this service within a 60-mile radius of HG4 5LZ as any further than that becomes difficult to project manage efficiently.

All of our fitters are fully insured and time served and have worked with Kitchen Warehouse UK LTD for many years.

We can offer a measure and design service within a 20-mile radius of HG4 5LZ. However, most of our customers tend to get a local company to carry out a free measure and design service before bringing their plans to us to get a comparison quote. This often saves time and results in a much quicker turn around for our customers and helps to keep our costs down so the saving can be passed onto our customers.

We recommend getting a local kitchen company to come to your home and measure and design your kitchen. This will ensure that all measurements are correct and that the plan will accurately fit your kitchen. Using an existing kitchen plan will allow us to give you a manufacturer’s quotation rather than a retail one whilst at the same time allowing us to make any minor alterations to the plan to ensure you are 100% happy with your proposed layout and design. As we are fitters by trade, we do understand the logistics’ of a kitchen and may notice little flaws in a design that may go undetected by yourselves as this has been our job for almost 20 years.

Yes. We supply kitchens for every eventuality. Our terms do state however that no orders will processed without payment being made in full but can give quotes to the insurance companies on your behalf. If you require a quote for insurance purposes please call to discuss your options with a member of our sales team or visit our showroom. We understand that this can be a very stressful time when insurance companies are involved and aim to simplify the process as far as possible.

Yes. We do supply trade, in fact much of our work is supplying to trade companies however, everyone who orders from us, gets it at the same price regardless of their occupation. Initially this website was designed for trade buyers but was then opened up to the general public as we believe everyone should have the opportunity to buy a new kitchen at a good price regardless of their occupation.

As every product sold is different, please refer to the specific listing you are looking to purchase. The listing will indicate specific turn-around times on that particular product and will be stated at the top of each product page.

We are open:

• Monday–Friday: 9am–6pm
• Saturday: 10am–3:30pm

We are closed two weeks over Christmas and most bank holidays. Please call if you require to know these dates.

We would always recommend getting a professional kitchen fitter to fit your kitchen, there are hundreds of talented good quality kitchen fitters up and down the country. There is a big difference between a kitchen fitter who fits kitchens every week of the year and a joiner who does 3 or 4 a year, and an even bigger difference between a professional kitchen fitter and a builder, so imagine the difference between a professional kitchen fitter who specialises in kitchen installations and an office worker having a go at fitting his own kitchen.

A professional kitchen fitter will have all the correct tools to do the job properly. Generally, kitchen fitters are top of their game and perfectionists with their work, they will have lots of little tricks of the trade they will have picked up over the years as well. We would always try to get a professional kitchen fitter to install your kitchen. Be prepared to wait for them though as most good kitchen fitters will be fully booked up for 5-6 weeks minimum.

We do offer a fitting service but we will only do kitchen installations within a 60-mile radius of Ripon. The areas we will install your kitchen are as follows; Ripon, Harrogate, York, Leeds, Wetherby, Ilkley, Yeadon, Otley, Skipton, Bedale, Catterick, Northallerton, Darlington and all the areas in-between. We have 8 teams of professional kitchen fitters that subcontract to us on a regular basis.

Both directors came from a fitting background, so they do know the job pretty well. Plus, all the fitters who work for us also know that we know what we are talking about, so they always work to a fantastically high standard.

If we are doing your kitchen installation we will only supply your kitchen as rigid kitchen cabinets, not flat-packed.

The difference between an expensive looking kitchen and a cheap looking kitchen is the quality of the fitting of the kitchen itself. It is all down to the attention to detail the finishing of it and the final few touches that make all the difference. So, in my opinion, we would always say get a professional to install your new kitchen, but that is obviously completely your choice.

We regularly produce custom units for customers, so it’s possible we could manufacture a custom depth base unit if you can’t find the right size in our standard collection.

Our highline kitchen base units are available in 11 standard widths, ranging from 150mm to 1200mm. If none of the sizes available is suitable for your kitchen, we may be able to accommodate custom base unit sizes for a small surcharge.

This depends on the specific product, as not all kitchen base units may be customisable in this way. For some ranges, such as the Luxury Shaker or Acrylic kitchens, we can produce carcasses and doors to your exact measurements.

As the name implies, a drawer line kitchen unit features a drawer at the top line. This creates a smaller cupboard space below, with a smaller door. These are often seen in more traditional designs, such as shaker-style kitchens and solid wood kitchens.

Highline kitchen units are larger because they forego the top drawer, providing more cabinet space. They’re an excellent choice for modern kitchens with a minimalist slab door design, such as handleless high gloss or handleless matt kitchens.

Highline kitchen base cabinets can also be combined with drawer line base units to optimise your storage space.

In this video one of our customers kindly agreed to let us show you their new kitchen. This video lets you see the quality of our stardust metallic high gloss blue kitchen in one of our customer’s homes as a lived in working kitchen, this hopefully will give you an idea of what your new kitchen could look like.

Here we will show you how to assemble one of our flat packed single base units. The theory for a double base unit is the same it just has a centred post and two doors on it.

Here will show you how to build a flat packed single wall unit. The theory is the same for a double wall unit the only difference is it has a centred post and two doors instead of one.

In this video we will show you how to drill hinge holes into new kitchen doors that have no hinge holes drilled in them. It is a very simple and easy task to do as you can see here. Drilling your replacement doors on-site will allow you to drill your hinge holes on your replacement kitchen doors exactly where the ones on your existing kitchen cabinets are.

This video is purely to show you our Hettich soft closing kitchen drawers in action. We supply these kitchen drawers as standard with our complete kitchen units, you can see how smooth they operate even when they are loaded with weight.

Here we will show you our Hettich sensys soft closing kitchen hinges in action. These are a fantastic quality stainless steel kitchen hinge and are self-closing as well as soft closing making them one of the best on the UK market. All kitchen cabinets supplied by Kitchen Warehouse come with these fantastic hinges as standard giving you an idea of the quality of the products we supply.

In this video we will show you and explain the reasons why we don’t drill hinge holes in all of the kitchen doors we supply, mainly because some kitchen doors are directional and we don’t know whether you require them to be a base unit door or a wall unit door and if they are going to be hinged on the left hand side or right hand side of your kitchen cabinet and this will make a difference to how they are going to be drilled.

We offer free delivery on kitchen doors for orders over £1000 and free delivery on kitchen units for orders over £2500. This offer applies to selected mainland postcodes only. Please proceed to checkout to view the exact delivery cost before completing your purchase..

Here at Kitchen Warehouse, we can produce tall kitchen larder cupboards for any available space. We understand that each kitchen is unique, which makes our tall larder units extraordinary!

Kitchen larder units are typically used to store non-perishable food. However, many things need to be stored in the kitchen, and finding a suitable home for all of them can be difficult when storage space is limited.

We often find that our customers like to use their tall kitchen larder units for storing their cutlery, along with cooking utensils, such as mixing bowls, pots, and pans.

Kitchen Warehouse has you covered if you’re looking to fit out your kitchen entirely using tall cabinets. We supply tall kitchen corner wall units to help you get the most out of your corner space, plus tall kitchen larder units to create tower kitchen storage from the floor up. These are 2150mm high, but they come with adjustable legs that allow you to increase the height by 150mm.

Most of our base units may be a standard height of 720mm, but they come with 150mm adjustable legs, allowing you to raise the cabinet to 870mm if needed. If you make your base units taller, you can hide the gap between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor by ordering a custom plinth or panel in a matching colour and finish to achieve a more seamless look.

Delivery times for our tall kitchen wall cabinets will vary depending on the style of units you choose. Some designs will be delivered in as little as 5-7 working days, whereas others will take a little longer – for example, kitchen units that are painted to order.

Tall kitchen wall cabinets are simply kitchen wall units that benefit from extra height. They offer much more storage space than standard-height kitchen wall cabinets. These additional shelves can be used for anything from non-perishable food to plates and bowls.

Tall kitchen wall units are also an excellent choice for statement kitchens, where only one wall has a run of upper cabinets. They turn your wall cupboards into a feature rather than being secondary to the base units. The extra shelf space also means less surface clutter on your kitchen counters.

Keep your blue kitchen looking vibrant by cleaning surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that can fade colour and finish. Periodic wiping with a damp cloth will help maintain the lustre and prevent dust accumulation.

Neutral tones like white, grey, and cream beautifully complement blue kitchens. For a dynamic contrast, consider warmer tones like yellow or terracotta, or stick with cool elegance with silver or chrome accents.

Blue cabinetry, with its versatility, pairs exceptionally well with oak finishes, metallic finishes, patterned flooring, brass elements, black finishes, and white walls, enhancing the kitchen’s aesthetic appeal.

The colour of kitchen cabinetry plays a crucial role in achieving a harmonious design, with options offering a spectrum of aesthetics when complemented by wood finishes for a modern or traditional look.

The best shade of blue for a kitchen, especially during a kitchen renovation, depends on the mood you wish to create alongside your existing decor. Incorporating blue cabinets or blue kitchen cabinets can significantly impact the kitchen’s look and feel, transforming your cooking space into a reflection of your personal style. Lighter blues, like robin’s egg or sky blue, are perfect for a bright, airy kitchen with a casual, welcoming vibe.

These shades work well in smaller kitchens, making the space feel larger and more open. For a bold, sophisticated look, darker blues such as Baltic Blue or Marine can make a dramatic statement in your kitchen cabinets, ideal for larger kitchens or as a striking contrast in a well-lit cooking space. The choice of blue kitchen cabinets should reflect your personal style and the overall design theme of your home, contributing significantly to the kitchen’s overall aesthetic.

Whether you’re aiming for a French seaside kitchen ambiance with slate blue cabinets or a modern industrial look with navy blue kitchen cabinets paired with copper accents, the right shade of blue can elevate your kitchen renovation project. Discover the full potential of blue kitchens with Kitchen Warehouse UK. Whether you opt for the serene whispers of light blue or the deep echoes of dark blue, our kitchen doors and units are sure to enrich your home with style and function.

There are many types of corner units out there, whether they’re standard, diagonal, L-shaped, or even curved. Diagonal or L-shaped cabinets are best for eliminating that lost space at the back, as they’re more accessible from the front.

Even with standard corner base units, you can save yourself the difficult trouble of bending down and reaching blindly into the back of the cabinet by installing a clever mechanism. Lazy Susans, carousels, and pull-out shelves are some of the most popular solutions to maximise cabinet space.

These systems let you utilise stored equipment properly, rather than just hiding an item in a jumble and forgetting what’s in there. Arranging whatever you keep in the corner cupboard in ‘like’ groups – such as baking tools or the ‘good dinnerware’ – makes things easier.

Get in touch today to discuss how to make the most of your kitchen corner unit storage.

Corners are an awkward space to fill when it comes to functional furniture. When runs of kitchen units meet at a right angle, this is often called a ‘blind corner’. It forms a deeper cupboard space with a smaller access area, making it difficult to see inside correctly and reach items stored further back.

This may not seem like a benefit – why have a corner base unit there if it’s challenging to use? The answer is that corner kitchen units are a valuable hidden space for storing items that you don’t want to leave on the counters but don’t have enough room to keep in the other cabinets.

People tend to take advantage of the extra space to store kitchen equipment and tools they don’t use often enough to keep them elsewhere. That doesn’t mean the kitchen corner cabinet has to be inaccessible, though – there are plenty of ways to banish the ‘blind’ aspect, including pull-out and carousel solutions.

Lift-up cabinet door systems can be more convenient in smaller kitchens or provide a different look and feel if you’re bored with the traditional kitchen set-up. The touch open and soft-close mechanism on a bi-fold kitchen cabinet door offers an effortless user experience and help avoid risks of injury or damage.

Other benefits include:

• Even larger/wider frontages work smoothly, no matter how hard you push them
• Frontages fold up out of the way for easy access to stored items in higher cupboards
• Suitable for a range of kitchen sizes and designs due to product versatility
• Creates a unique feature that’s more interesting than standard doors

Be sure to browse the full selection of kitchen unit types for each design we provide to look for cabinets with bi-fold doors.

While our bi-fold kitchen cabinets have a standard height of 720mm, we offer widths ranging from 500mm to 1000mm, so you could have a single standard unit or double unit with bi-folding doors or any widths in between.

Another addition which can help to finalise any attractive new kitchen is a kitchen cornice. This stylish trim helps fix the top of your kitchen wall cabinets to the ceiling, closing any potential gaps that could become evident after installation is complete.

If your kitchen cupboards don’t reach the ceiling, a cornice can put the finishing touch to the top of your cupboards. Also, many people store lots of items on top of their kitchen cupboards, and a cornice can help to hide these from view.

It is important to think carefully about the colour of your kitchen cabinet cornice. You may want it to complement the rest of your kitchen’s colourway perfectly, or you’d like to add a pop of colour for a real wow factor.

A kitchen cupboard cornice effectively adds crucial finishing touches to your kitchen design that can make all the difference.

Kitchen cupboard pelmets are found around the bottom of the cabinets. They can help the bottom of your kitchen cabinets to look tidier and are often used to hide unsightly worktop lighting fixtures.

Kitchen pelmets often go hand in hand with the cornice. These two features are generally finished in the same colour to complement the room’s theme.

If you have questions about kitchen cupboard plinths, cornices or pelmets, you’ve come to the right place! The experts at Kitchen Warehouse will be happy to discuss our range with you, so you can be sure you’ll find the items that are most suited to your requirements.

Toe kicks offer the same function as kitchen cupboard plinths – covering the gap between the kitchen cupboards and the floor. However, toe kicks are slightly recessed, allowing room for those with larger feet to get closer to the countertop. This improves balance and reduces fatigue from stretching. Toe kicks give the illusion of floating kitchen units, and their popularity has grown recently.

On the other hand, kitchen cupboard plinths are usually not recessed and offer a more seamless look. Here at Kitchen Warehouse, we offer both toe kicks and kitchen cupboard plinths, giving you more options when designing your new kitchen.

We often get asked if one or more of our new replacement doors can be matched alongside existing cupboard doors.

In short, we do not recommend this for the following reasons:

1. Colour matching issues:

• Manufacturing variations: Manufacturing techniques evolve, causing even the same range to vary year by year.
• Environmental effects: Existing doors may have sun damage or light exposure, altering their appearance.

2. Replacement door range purpose:

• Our replacement door service is designed to reface your entire kitchen, offering a fresh look without a full, and costly kitchen reinstallation.

3. Additional fittings:

• You may need to replace panels, cornices, pelmets, and kick boards to ensure a consistent look.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help you through the entire process, from measuring to fitting.
