TRUSTED BY HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE REGION
Bespoke Kitchens Designed Around Your Cheshire Home
Whether you live in a converted farmhouse outside Knutsford, a large detached home in Wilmslow, or a period property in the centre of Chester, the kitchen you need is not the same as anyone else’s. You are not choosing between finishes on a fixed range of units. You are deciding how one of the most-used rooms in your home should be laid out, how it should function, and how it should feel to live in every day. That starts with your actual space.
Every Mastercraft kitchen is designed around your room, built in our own UK workshop, and installed by our own team from start to finish. Because design, manufacturing and installation all sit with the same people, nothing gets handed over between separate contractors. The person who designs your kitchen understands exactly how it will be made. Every decision carries through from the first conversation to the day your kitchen goes in.
From First Conversation to Finished Kitchen
Your project starts in your home. We come to you, look at the room properly, and talk through what you want your kitchen to do and how you want it to feel. From there, the design takes shape around your specific space. Once the design is right, your kitchen goes into manufacture. When it arrives on site, our team installs it. Throughout all of that, you are dealing with one team who have carried the full knowledge of your project from the very beginning. You are not left chasing progress or coordinating trades.
Because design, manufacturing and installation all sit within one team, your project never gets passed from one contractor to another. The people who designed your kitchen understand exactly how it will be built. The people fitting it know what was designed, and why. In practical terms that means fewer assumptions, fewer errors, and no one arriving on site who is seeing your plans for the first time.
How We Approach the Design of Your Kitchen
We do not begin with a catalogue. We start with your room. Its shape, its light, how you move through it, how it connects to the rest of your home. Getting the layout and proportions right comes first. The visual decisions follow from that foundation. Not the other way around. A kitchen that looks right but does not work is still a kitchen that does not work.
Homes across Cheshire vary enormously. A converted farm building has a completely different set of proportions and constraints to an executive new build in Wilmslow or a period terrace in Chester. Each project starts from a different point. Your home has its own dimensions, its own structural quirks, its own possibilities. We approach your project on those terms. No template, and no attempt to fit a design drawn for a different kind of space.
If your room has a chimney breast, an awkward alcove, a sloping ceiling, or a wall that cannot move, those things are resolved at the design stage. Not worked around on the day of fitting. Your kitchen is designed to sit within the architecture of your home. By the time manufacturing begins, every detail is already accounted for. Nothing is left to be figured out on site.
Your Kitchen, Built to Last
Your kitchen is made in our own UK workshop, built specifically for your home. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled before it leaves our workshop. Not flat-pack components put together on site. That matters because factory assembly produces tighter tolerances, more consistent finish quality, and a more accurate fit when your kitchen goes in. What arrives at your home is a finished product, not a kit waiting to be constructed in your space.
The same standard runs through the whole kitchen, not just the surfaces you see. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings, all specified and finished to the same level as the doors, handles and worktops you interact with every day. The parts that work hardest are often the ones you rarely look at. Getting those right is what determines how well your kitchen holds up over the years.
Because we make your kitchen ourselves, we are not limited to standard dimensions or catalogue options. If your room has an unusual width, a run beneath a sloping ceiling, or an alcove that needs something specific, we build exactly what is required. Your space sets the brief. We build to fit it precisely, rather than asking your room to accommodate something designed for a different one.
- Rigid cabinetry, factory assembled before it reaches your home

Why Cheshire Chooses Mastercraft for a Serious Kitchen Project
When you are investing seriously in your home, you want to know the team you are working with can be trusted to carry the whole project properly. Mastercraft is not a showroom brand or a retailer with a fitting partner. Design, manufacturing and installation all sit with the same team, and your kitchen is built to last in the specific room it was designed for.
- Designed, made and installed by the same team, no handovers between contractors.
- No showroom model. We work from your home, not from a catalogue.
- Every kitchen designed from scratch around your specific room and how you live.
- Built in our own UK workshop to the tolerances a bespoke kitchen demands.
- Designed to last and live with, not to be replaced in ten years.
Start Your Design
If you are planning a considered kitchen project in Cheshire and want to talk it through properly, we are happy to start that conversation. There is no obligation and no showroom to visit. Just a straightforward discussion about your home and what you have in mind. Get in touch whenever you are ready.
A design consultation begins in your home. We come to you, look at the room properly, and talk through what you want your kitchen to become. We are not walking you through a showroom or showing you a fixed range. We start in your space, understanding your home and your priorities, before we begin thinking about design.

How long does a bespoke kitchen project typically take from first contact to completion?
It depends on the scale and complexity of your project, but as a general guide you should allow four to six months from your first consultation through to a completed installation. The design phase takes as long as it needs to get everything right. Manufacturing typically runs over several weeks once the design is signed off. We will give you a clear timeline once we have a full picture of your project.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come to your home. We look at the room properly, take measurements, and talk through how you use the space now and what you want from it. It is not a sales presentation. It is a working conversation about your kitchen, your home, and your priorities. There is no obligation at that stage, and nothing is rushed. We want to understand your project properly before we start designing anything.
My kitchen has some awkward features, a chimney breast, a low ceiling on one side, and walls that are not quite square. Can you work with that?
Yes, and that kind of room is where a fully bespoke approach makes the most difference. Those features are addressed at the design stage. We design your kitchen around what is actually there, not around a standard plan that ignores the reality of your room. By the time your kitchen goes into manufacture, every dimension and every detail has been resolved. Nothing is left to chance or adjusted on the day of fitting.
Do you work with architects or interior designers?
Yes, regularly. If you are working with an architect or interior designer on your project, we are used to operating as part of that wider team. We share drawings, coordinate on specification decisions, and make sure the kitchen design integrates properly with everything else being planned. The process works well whether you have a full design team around you or you are working directly with us on your own.
We are extending to create a large open-plan kitchen and dining space. Can you design for that kind of room?
Open-plan kitchen and dining spaces are one of the more common briefs we work on in Cheshire, and they require careful thought about how the kitchen sits within the larger room. We look at sight lines, how the space flows, where the kitchen begins and ends visually, and how it connects to the living and dining areas. Getting the proportions and layout right in a large open space is just as important as getting the cabinetry right.
What styles are available? Do you work to a fixed range of door styles or finishes?
We do not work from a fixed range. The design of your kitchen, including the door profiles, finishes, colours and materials, is determined by what suits your home and what you want to achieve. We will talk through the options that are appropriate for your space and your brief. Whether you want something very clean and contemporary, something that references a more traditional style, or something that sits somewhere between the two, we work to your direction.
How is the kitchen actually made, and where?
Your kitchen is built in our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled, not flat-pack components that are put together on site. Building in the workshop allows us to hold tighter tolerances and produce a more consistent finish than site assembly allows. What arrives at your home is a completed product, built to the exact dimensions of your room.
Who carries out the installation?
Our own installation team. The same company that designed and built your kitchen fits it. That matters because they understand what was designed, why certain decisions were made, and how everything is meant to go together. You are not getting a subcontracted team who are seeing your kitchen for the first time on the day they arrive to fit it.
How much does a bespoke Mastercraft kitchen typically cost?
Most projects we work on fall in the range of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand pounds, though some are above that depending on the size of the room, the complexity of the design, and the materials specified. Bespoke kitchens vary significantly in cost because every element is made specifically for your home. The size of the room, the number of runs, the worktop materials, the appliances, and the level of detail all affect the final figure. We will give you a clear picture of where your project is likely to sit once we have discussed it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire, including smaller towns and rural areas?
Yes. We work across the full region, including Chester, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Northwich and Nantwich, as well as the smaller towns, villages and rural properties throughout Cheshire. If you are outside those centres, including more remote or rural locations, get in touch and we will confirm coverage for your area. Distance is not typically a barrier.
We are renovating a period property. Can you design something that works with the character of the house rather than against it?
That is a common brief for us in Cheshire. Period properties need a kitchen that respects the proportions and character of the house without feeling like a replica or something that simply does not belong. We will look at the architecture of your home and design something that sits properly within it. That might mean specific door profiles, particular materials, or a layout that works around original features rather than ignoring them.
What if we are not sure exactly what we want yet? Is it too early to get in touch?
No, that is often where the best projects start. You do not need to arrive with a brief fully formed. Part of what we do in the early conversation is help you work out what you actually want, what the room allows, and what will serve you best in the long term. If you know you want a new kitchen and you have a rough sense of direction, that is enough to start talking.
