TRUSTED BY HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE REGION
Your Kitchen, Designed for Your Empingham Home
Your kitchen needs to be designed properly for your home. Not adapted from a standard range, not figured out as it goes, but planned from the room itself, so everything works as it should once it is in place. The same team handles design, manufacturing and installation, so nothing gets lost between one stage and the next.
A bespoke kitchen design for a Empingham home by Mastercraft Kitchens
Designed Around Your Home
If you are planning a new kitchen in your home in Empingham, the starting point is always the room itself. The layout, the light, the way the space actually works day to day. That understanding is what the whole design is built on.
Homes in Empingham vary more than most people expect. A converted barn behaves very differently to a timber-framed farmhouse or a stone cottage, and a large country property brings its own set of considerations entirely. Your kitchen is designed from scratch around your room, not pulled from a standard range and adjusted to fit a space it was never created for.
Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, irregular walls: these are resolved at the design stage. By the time manufacturing begins, every dimension has already been accounted for. Nothing is left to work out later.
The designer who plans your kitchen understands exactly how it will be made. That means when it arrives, it already fits the way the room has been planned. One team, from the first drawing through to the day it goes in.
Crafted Cabinetry, 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, not flat-pack components put together on site. Factory assembly produces tighter tolerances and a more consistent finish than anything assembled in your kitchen from a kit, and you can see and feel the difference once it is in place. If you want to understand more about how that quality is achieved, that is covered in more detail on our quality page.
The same standard runs through the whole kitchen, not just the parts you see every day. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings: all specified to the same level as the doors and worktops. The parts you do not see are built to exactly the same standard as the ones you do. That is what determines how well your kitchen holds up over years of daily use.
Because your kitchen is made in our own workshop, it is not limited to standard sizes or catalogue configurations. If your room needs an unusual cabinet width, a run of units beneath a sloping ceiling, or something specific to how your space sits, it is designed and built exactly as required. Your room sets the brief, not the other way around.
From Design to Installation, One Team
From your first conversation through to the day your kitchen is handed over, the whole project sits with Mastercraft. Design, manufacturing, installation: one process, one team. You are not left coordinating separate trades or chasing progress. There are no handoffs, no gaps in responsibility. Everything moves forward properly because the same people hold it throughout. You can read more about how we work if you want a clear picture of each stage.
The designers who plan your kitchen understand exactly how it will be built. The team who builds it knows what was designed and why. That continuity makes a real practical difference, especially when your room has unusual features or specific constraints to work around. No one arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time.
A converted barn brings very different challenges to a large country house or a timber-framed farmhouse. Stone cottages often have their own quirks entirely. Each project in Empingham is treated on its own terms, not slotted into a standard programme drawn up for a different kind of home. The design reflects your room, not a template someone else’s kitchen was built from.
Your cabinetry is manufactured to the exact dimensions of your room, measured precisely before anything is made. When installation begins, everything arrives ready to fit. There are no on-site adjustments to compensate for things that were not properly resolved at the design stage. That work has already been done.
Different ways your kitchen can be approached
We Work Across Empingham and the Surrounding Area
From stone cottages close to Rutland Water to larger country properties further out into the villages, the homes around Empingham each bring their own starting point.

Every Mastercraft kitchen is designed, built and installed by our own in-house team
Your Home in Empingham. Your Kitchen.
Whether you are remodelling an existing kitchen or starting from scratch in a property you are renovating, the process is the same. It begins with your room. The layout, the light, what needs to work and how. From that first conversation through to the day the kitchen is in place, the same team carries it forward. Everything has been understood from the start and carried through without handoffs, without gaps, and without compromise.

Why People in Empingham Choose Mastercraft
A kitchen at this level is not just about how it looks. It is about whether it has been thought through properly from the start, and carried through without compromise. Every kitchen is designed from scratch around your room, not selected from a range and adjusted to fit. It is made in our own UK workshop by the same team who designed it, so the people building it already understand every decision that was made and why. There is no showroom model to choose from, because your home is where the design begins. That single-team approach, from the first conversation to the final installation, is what makes the whole thing hold together. And because it is built to last, it should still be working exactly as intended many years from now.
Design, manufacturing and installation are handled by one team, so nothing is lost between stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bespoke kitchen project take from start to finish?
Most kitchens take around three to five months from the initial design stage through to the end of installation. Larger or more complex projects, particularly where a kitchen is part of a wider renovation, can take longer. The design and planning stage is where the time is well spent. By the time manufacturing begins, everything has already been resolved, which means installation moves cleanly without delays caused by things that were not thought through earlier.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come to your home in Empingham and look at the room properly. That means understanding the layout, the light, how the space is currently used, and what needs to change. We talk through your priorities and ask the questions that matter. Nothing is rushed. It is a conversation, not a presentation. You will come away with a clearer sense of what is possible and how the design process works.
Can you work with unusual rooms, like low ceilings, alcoves or awkward angles?
Yes, and those are often the rooms where a bespoke approach makes the biggest difference. Features like chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, irregular walls and deep alcoves are resolved at the design stage, not on the day of installation. Because your kitchen is manufactured to the exact dimensions of your room, it is made to fit the space as it actually is, not as a standard room would be.
What does a bespoke kitchen typically cost?
It varies, and the honest reason for that is that every kitchen is different. Room size, the number of cabinets, the materials chosen for doors and worktops, the appliances, and the level of storage detail all affect the total. As a broad guide, most Mastercraft kitchens sit somewhere between fifteen and fifty thousand pounds, with larger or more complex projects sitting above that. The best way to understand what your project is likely to involve is to have a proper conversation about your room and what you need from it. Bespoke means the cost reflects your kitchen, not an average.
Do you work on larger renovation projects or extensions?
Yes, and having design and manufacturing under one roof is particularly useful in that situation. When a kitchen is part of a wider building project, the measurements, structural considerations and sequence of work all need to be coordinated carefully. Because we design and build everything ourselves, we can work closely with your architect or builder at the planning stage, make sure the kitchen is designed around what the room will become, and manufacture it ready for when the build is at the right point. There are no delays caused by miscommunication between separate suppliers.
What kitchen styles are available?
The starting point is always your home and what suits it. For period properties and country homes in Empingham, shaker and in-frame kitchens are particularly well suited, though the right choice depends on the character of your room. We can talk through the options at the consultation stage and look at what will work in your specific space. You can also explore styles and finishes on our kitchen design page beforehand if you want to get a sense of the possibilities.
How is the kitchen manufactured and what does that mean for quality?
Your kitchen is made in our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled before it leaves, which produces tighter tolerances and a more consistent finish than anything put together from flat-pack components on site. The same standard of specification runs through the whole kitchen, from the visible doors and worktops to the drawer runners and internal fittings. That is what determines how well your kitchen works and holds up over the years.
Who installs the kitchen, and will they know what has been designed?
The installation team is part of Mastercraft. They know what was designed and why, because it is the same team throughout. No one arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time. That continuity matters practically, especially in homes with unusual features or specific constraints, because the people fitting your kitchen already understand every decision that went into it.
Do I need to have any ideas before the first conversation?
Not at all. Some people come with a clear picture in mind; others are starting from scratch. Either is fine. What matters at the first stage is understanding your room and what you need from your kitchen. The design comes from that, not from a mood board or a catalogue. If you have things you have seen and liked, bring them along by all means, but they are a starting point for conversation, not a requirement.
How accurate are the measurements, and what if something changes during the build?
Everything is measured precisely before manufacturing begins. If your project involves building work that is still ongoing, we time the survey and manufacture around the build programme so that the room is as close to finished as possible before anything is made. If something changes during the build that affects the kitchen, we work through it at the design stage rather than leaving it to be resolved on installation day.
Do you supply appliances and worktops as well as cabinetry?
Yes. Appliances, worktops and internal accessories are all part of the project. Sourcing everything through one team means the whole kitchen is specified to work together properly. Worktop materials are chosen alongside the cabinetry during the design stage, so the finishes, proportions and practical requirements are all considered as one decision rather than separately.
How do I get started?
Arrange a design consultation and we will come to your home in Empingham, look at the room properly, and talk through what you need. That first conversation is where the process begins. From there, if you want to move forward, we will put together a detailed design based on your room and your brief. There is no obligation to proceed beyond any stage until you are confident it is right.
