The job

A wall taken out between kitchen and dining room, a vaulted ceiling opened up, and a shaker kitchen made in our workshop to sit with forty years of books.

The brief

Two small rooms, one long table and a lot of books. The owners wanted to cook and eat in the same room without giving up a single shelf.

What we built

We took down the wall between kitchen and dining room on a new steel, lifted the old floor for underfloor heating, and opened the ceiling up to the rafters. Graham’s team made the units in our workshop: painted shaker doors, solid oak worktops, and an island deep enough to hide the dishwasher.

  • Steel and building control sign-off

  • Underfloor heating on a new screed

  • Units, worktops and shelving made in our workshop

How the money went

Agreed at £58,900. The worktop run grew by a metre and a half to reach the window, which added £1,450. Final account £60,350, twelve weeks from first strip-out to handover.
