It varies depending on the complexity of the design and how busy the workshop is at the time, but most projects run over a number of months from the initial design stages through to installation. Once your design is confirmed and manufacturing begins, we will give you a clear programme so you know exactly when to expect each stage. We would rather give you a realistic timeline at the start than one that moves later.

We come to your home in Cheshunt and look at the room properly. It is a straightforward conversation: we talk about how you use your kitchen, what is not working about what you have, and what you want the new one to do. We take in the dimensions and the character of the space. Nothing is sold to you at that meeting. It is simply the starting point for everything that follows.

Yes, and often those are the projects that benefit most from a fully bespoke approach. Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, odd angles, rooms that have been extended: all of these are resolved at the design stage. Because we manufacture everything ourselves, we are not trying to make standard units fit around things they were not designed for.

We work across a wide range of styles, from classic <a href="https://www.mastercraftkitchens.co.uk/shaker-kitchens/">shaker kitchens</a> to more contemporary <a href="https://www.mastercraftkitchens.co.uk/handleless-kitchens/">handleless designs</a>. Because your kitchen is designed and made specifically for your home, the style is shaped by your house and your own preferences, not by what happens to be in a showroom. We will guide you through the options as the design develops.

Bespoke kitchens vary considerably in cost, and it is worth being honest about why. The size of the room, the materials you choose for doors and worktops, the appliances you want to include, and the level of storage detail all have a significant effect on the final figure. A smaller, well-resolved project will sit at a different level to a large open-plan kitchen with extensive cabinetry and high-specification finishes. As a starting point, most of our projects are a meaningful investment in your home rather than a budget purchase, and they are designed and built to reflect that. The best way to get a clear sense of what your project is likely to involve is to have an initial conversation with us.

Everything is built in our own UK workshop. Your cabinetry is made to the exact dimensions of your room, with each cabinet rigid and fully assembled before it leaves the workshop. We do not deliver flat-pack components to be put together on site. Manufacturing to these tolerances in a controlled workshop environment produces a far more consistent result than anything assembled in your home from a kit.

Yes. The installation team is part of Mastercraft, not a subcontracted crew brought in at the end. Because the same team is involved from design through to installation, the people fitting your kitchen already understand how it was designed and why certain decisions were made. There are no handovers, no gaps in responsibility, and no one arriving on site to interpret plans they have never seen before.

Yes. If your kitchen is part of a wider building project, such as a rear extension or a significant remodel, having design and manufacturing under one roof is particularly valuable. We can work alongside your architect or builder, and because we are responsible for the whole kitchen from design to installation, there is one clear point of contact for everything kitchen-related throughout the project. That simplifies things considerably when multiple trades are involved.

Yes. We are happy to share examples of completed projects during your initial consultation, and you can also browse work across our website. Every project is different, so what you see will give you a sense of the quality and range of what we do rather than a template to choose from. Your kitchen will be designed specifically for your home.

The earlier the better, particularly if you have a specific completion date in mind, for example if you are working around a renovation or an extension. Design takes time to get right, and manufacturing follows after that. Getting in touch early means we can plan the programme properly and give you realistic dates from the outset. We would always rather have more time than less.

We work with a wide range of worktop materials, including stone, quartz, solid wood, and more. The choice depends on how you use your kitchen, the style of the cabinetry, and your own preferences. We will talk through the options as part of the design process and help you make a decision that suits the room and works practically for your household. You can also explore some of the options on our worktops pages.

Yes. We work regularly across south Hertfordshire, including Cheshunt and the surrounding towns. If you are in the area and thinking about a new kitchen, we are straightforward to reach and happy to come to you for an initial visit at a time that suits you.
