TRUSTED BY HOMEOWNERS ACROSS THE REGION
Your Kitchen, Designed for Your Exeter Home
Your kitchen needs to be designed properly for your home. Not adapted from a standard range, not adjusted as things progress, but planned from the room itself so everything works as it should once it is in place. From design through to installation, one team handles the whole project.
A bespoke kitchen design for a Exeter home by Mastercraft Kitchens
Designed Around Your Home
If you are planning a new kitchen in your home in Exeter, the starting point is always the room itself. The shape, the light, what the room asks for. That is where the design begins, before anything else is decided.
Homes in Exeter vary more than most people expect. A Georgian townhouse behaves very differently to a stone cottage or a period farmhouse on the edge of the city. Your kitchen is designed from scratch around your room, not adapted from something created for a different kind of home.
Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings: these are resolved at the design stage. By the time manufacturing begins, every dimension has already been accounted for. Nothing is left to figure out later.
The same team that designs your kitchen understands exactly how it will be made. So when it arrives, it already fits how the room has been planned. One team carries the whole thing through.
Crafted Cabinetry, Built to Last
Your kitchen is made specifically for your home in our own UK workshop. 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, and it means what arrives at your home is already built to the standard it needs to be.
The same level of specification runs through the whole kitchen, not just the parts you see every day. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings: all finished to the same standard as the doors and worktops. What you cannot see is built as carefully as what you can. 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 constrained by standard sizes or catalogue configurations. If your room needs an unusual run width, cabinetry beneath a sloping ceiling, or something that does not exist in a standard range, it is designed and built exactly as required. Your space sets the brief, and the manufacturing follows it.
One Team, from Design to Installation
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 between different contractors. Everything moves forward properly because the same people hold it from start to finish.
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 matters, particularly when your room has unusual features or specific constraints that need carrying through every stage. No one arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time.
Exeter homes bring their own particular starting points. A stone cottage near the cathedral will have different constraints to a Victorian terrace or a coastal property outside the city. Each project is treated on its own terms, designed for the specific room it is going into, not adjusted to fit a programme drawn up for a different kind of house.
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 fully resolved at the design stage, because those things were resolved long before anyone arrived at your door.
Different ways your kitchen can be approached
We Work Across Exeter and the Surrounding Area
From period properties close to the cathedral to farmhouses on the edge of Dartmoor, the homes around Exeter cover a wide range. Every project starts in the same place, regardless of where your home is or what it looks like: your room, your layout, your specific set of requirements. We also work across the wider South West, including towns such as Torquay and Plymouth.
Every Mastercraft kitchen is designed, built and installed by our own in-house team
Your Home in Exeter. Your Kitchen.
Whether you are remodelling an existing kitchen or starting from scratch, the process begins in the same place: your room. From the earliest conversation through to the day the kitchen is in place, the same team is with you. The design, the manufacturing, the installation, all of it is carried through by the people who understood your home from the start. Everything has been considered from the beginning and nothing changes hands along the way.

Why People in Exeter 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 the specific room it is going into, with one team handling the process from first conversation to final installation. There is no showroom model being adapted, no standard configuration being adjusted to fit. Your kitchen is built in our own UK workshop to the exact dimensions of your home, and the same thinking that goes into the design carries through into how it is made and how it is put in place.
The same team designs, builds and installs your kitchen, so nothing is lost between stages.
Every kitchen is designed from the room up, not selected from a range and modified to fit.
Your cabinetry is made in our own UK workshop, built to the dimensions of your specific home.
The specification runs through the whole kitchen, so it is built to last, not just to impress initially.
The design starts with your room. That is always where it begins.
Start with a Conversation
The process starts with a conversation in your home. We look at the room properly and talk through what needs to work and how.
From there, the design takes shape around your space. Arrange a design consultation and we will come to you, look at the room, and talk through how your kitchen could work.

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 consultation through to installation. A straightforward kitchen in a well-defined space sits towards the shorter end of that. If your project involves structural work, an extension, or a particularly complex room, it may take a little longer. The design stage tends to take four to six weeks, manufacturing around eight to ten weeks after sign-off, and installation typically runs one to two weeks depending on the size of the kitchen.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come to your home and look at the room properly. That means understanding how you use the space, what is not working about the current layout, what the room actually allows for, and what you want from the finished kitchen. It is a conversation, not a presentation. Nothing is sold at that stage. The point is to understand your home well enough to design something that genuinely works for it.
What does a bespoke kitchen typically cost?
It depends on the size of the room, the materials you choose, the appliances, and how much storage and interior detail is involved. As a general guide, most Mastercraft kitchens start from around £25,000 to £30,000 for a smaller kitchen with a straightforward layout, and larger or more complex kitchens tend to sit between £40,000 and £80,000 or above. Because everything is designed and made specifically for your home, the cost reflects what your kitchen actually requires rather than a fixed package price. The right way to think about it is as a long-term investment in a room that will be used every day, built to a standard that holds up over time.
Can you work with unusual rooms or awkward layouts?
Yes, and those are often the projects where bespoke design makes the biggest difference. Sloping ceilings, chimney breasts, alcoves, rooms that are not square, kitchens in converted spaces: all of these are resolved at the design stage. Because your kitchen is manufactured to the exact dimensions of your room, there is no need to compromise on layout to accommodate a standard cabinet size.
What styles of kitchen are available?
Because every kitchen is designed from scratch, the style is entirely your choice and is not constrained by a catalogue. The range of styles and finishes is broad, from traditional in-frame cabinetry that suits period properties well, through to contemporary handleless designs for newer homes or extensions. The starting point is always your home and what suits the room, rather than what happens to be in a showroom.
How does manufacturing work and where is my kitchen made?
Your kitchen is made in our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is rigid and factory assembled before it leaves, which means what arrives at your home is already built to the finished standard. Nothing is assembled from flat-pack components on site. Because we manufacture everything ourselves, we are not limited by standard sizes or off-the-shelf configurations. If your room needs something specific, we build it that way.
Do you work on larger renovation projects or extensions?
Yes, and having design and manufacturing under one roof is particularly useful when a kitchen is part of a wider building project. If you are extending your home, reconfiguring a ground floor, or working with an architect or builder on something more involved, we can work alongside that process from the beginning. Designing the kitchen at the same time as the wider project means the room is planned properly from the start, rather than fitting a kitchen into a space that was finished without it being considered. It avoids the kind of late adjustments that come from the kitchen designer arriving after the builders have already made decisions that affect the room.
Do I need to visit a showroom?
No. The first step is a conversation in your home, not a showroom visit. Looking at your actual room is more useful than looking at a display kitchen that has nothing to do with your space. That said, if you want to see materials, door samples or finishes in person at any point during the design process, that can be arranged.
Who manages the installation?
Installation is handled by our own team, not subcontracted out. The people who install your kitchen are working from the same drawings and dimensions that were used to manufacture it. That matters because nothing is being interpreted on site. Everything was resolved at the design and manufacturing stages, so installation runs to a clear plan from day one.
How precise is the measuring and surveying process?
Your room is measured carefully before manufacturing begins, and where needed we carry out a second survey once any building work is complete. Manufacturing only starts once we are satisfied that every dimension is accurate. That is what allows the installation to go in cleanly, without on-site adjustments to compensate for measurements that were not quite right.
Can you match the kitchen to the character of an older Exeter property?
That is something we think about from the start. Exeter has a lot of homes where the character of the building matters, and a kitchen that feels at odds with the rest of the house is a problem worth avoiding. Whether that means in-frame cabinetry in a period farmhouse or a design that takes its cues from original features in a Victorian terrace, the detailing is considered as part of the design process, not added on at the end.
What is the first step if I want to get in touch?
Arrange a design consultation. We will come to your home, look at the room, and have a proper conversation about what you are trying to achieve. From there, if it feels like the right fit, the design process begins. There is nothing you need to prepare in advance. Just the room and a clear sense of what is and is not working about it at the moment.
