Your Kitchen, Designed for Your Oakham Home
Your kitchen needs to be designed properly for your home. Not adapted from a standard range, not adjusted as it goes, but planned from the room itself, so everything works as it should once it is in place. From the first conversation through to installation, the same team carries it through.
A bespoke kitchen design for a Oakham home by Mastercraft Kitchens
Designed Around Your Home
If you are planning a new kitchen in your home in Oakham, the starting point is always the room itself. The proportions, the light, the way the space connects to the rest of the house. That is what the design is built around.
Homes in Oakham vary more than most people expect. A timber-framed farmhouse behaves very differently to a stone cottage or a period village house on one of the Georgian streets in town. Each has its own layout, its own quirks, its own constraints. 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, not worked around during installation. By the time manufacturing begins, every dimension has already been accounted for.
The person who 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, carrying it through from the first drawing to the finished installation.
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 that difference is there every day in how the kitchen feels and functions.
The same standard runs through the whole kitchen. Drawer runners, hinges, interior fittings: all specified to the same level as the doors and worktops. The parts you do not see every day are built to the same standard as the ones you do. That is what determines how well your kitchen holds up over years of use.
Because your kitchen is made in our own workshop, we are not working from a catalogue of standard sizes. If your room needs an unusual cabinet width, a run that follows a sloping ceiling, or a configuration that simply does not exist in any standard range, it is designed and built exactly as required. Your space sets the brief, and the cabinetry is made to answer 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 trades or chasing progress. There are no handoffs between separate contractors, no gaps in responsibility.
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. No one arrives on site seeing your plans for the first time.
A timber-framed farmhouse outside Oakham, a stone cottage in the town itself, a period village house with a low ceiling and an awkward corner: each brings its own starting point. Your project is worked through on its own terms, not pushed into a standard programme that was drawn up for a different kind of house altogether.
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. Everything has been thought through before anyone sets foot in your home with a tool.
We Work Across Oakham and the Surrounding Area
Oakham sits at the centre of a stretch of Rutland countryside with a wide range of homes, from stone farmhouses near Rutland Water to period houses in the market towns nearby. We work across all of it. Whether your home is in Oakham itself or in one of the villages close by, every project begins in the same place: your room, your layout, your home.
Every Mastercraft kitchen is designed, built and installed by our own in-house team
Your Home in Oakham. Your Kitchen.
Whether you are remodelling an existing kitchen or starting from scratch in a new space, the process begins the same way: with your room. We look at how it sits within the house, what needs to work practically, and what the room makes possible. Our team works with you from the earliest conversation right through to the day the kitchen is in place. Everything has been understood from the start and carried through by the same team. You can read more about how we work if you want a clearer picture of the process before getting in touch.

Why People in Oakham 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. Your kitchen is designed from scratch around your room, not pulled from a standard range and adjusted to fit. It is made in our own UK workshop, built to the specific dimensions of your home, and installed by the same team who designed and made it. There is no showroom model you are buying into, no separate contractor arriving on site to interpret someone else’s drawings. The design, the making, and the installation are all part of one continuous process, which is what allows it to be done properly.

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 the end of installation. The design and planning stage usually takes four to six weeks, followed by manufacturing, which typically runs six to ten weeks depending on the complexity and specification of your kitchen. Installation then takes anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the size of the project. If your kitchen is part of a wider building project or renovation, we can work around the programme for the rest of the work.
What happens at the first design consultation?
We come to your home. That is always the starting point. We look at the room properly, talk through how you use the space, what is and is not working at the moment, and what you are hoping to achieve. There is no presentation, no pressure. It is a conversation in your kitchen, and it gives us what we need to begin designing something that actually works for your home.
What does a bespoke kitchen typically cost?
It genuinely depends on the room, the specification, and how much is involved in the project. A smaller kitchen with a straightforward layout and mid-range appliances will sit at a different level to a large open-plan space with high-specification worktops, integrated appliances, and extensive storage detail. As a broad guide, most Mastercraft kitchens sit somewhere between fifteen and forty thousand pounds, though projects outside that range are not unusual in either direction. The honest answer is that the consultation is the right moment to talk through what is realistic for your home and your priorities, and we will always be straightforward with you about what drives the cost.
Can you work with awkward or unusual rooms?
That is often where the design work matters most. Alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, unusually narrow runs, rooms where nothing is quite square: these are all things that are resolved at the design stage, not worked around on site. Because we design and manufacture everything ourselves, we are not constrained by standard cabinet sizes. If your room needs something specific, we build it to those dimensions.
What kitchen styles do you offer?
Because every kitchen is designed from scratch, there is no fixed range to choose from. That said, the most common styles we work with include shaker, in-frame, and handleless designs, and each can be taken in a wide range of directions depending on your home and your taste. The right style is usually something we work out together once we understand the room and the house it sits in.
How is the cabinetry made?
Your kitchen is manufactured in our own UK workshop. Every cabinet is built to the exact dimensions of your room and assembled as a rigid unit before it leaves the workshop. Nothing arrives on site as flat-pack components to be put together in your home. Factory assembly produces a more accurate and consistent result, and it means the kitchen is ready to install rather than ready to construct. You can read more about our approach on the quality and manufacturing page.
Do you handle the installation yourselves or use subcontractors?
Installation is carried out by our own team. The people fitting your kitchen understand how it was designed and how it was built. That matters practically, because it means no one arrives on site trying to interpret someone else's drawings. Any decisions that need to be made during installation are made by people who have been involved in the project from the beginning.
Do you work on larger renovation projects or extensions?
Yes, and that kind of project is often where having design and manufacturing under one roof makes the most difference. When your kitchen is part of a wider building project, with structural changes, a new extension, or a full renovation, having the kitchen designed and manufactured by one team means the specification is locked down early and nothing is left to be resolved on site. We are used to working alongside architects, builders and project managers, and we can fit into an existing programme or help you think through the sequencing if you are still in the planning stage.
How accurate are the measurements and will everything fit properly?
Your room is measured in detail before manufacturing begins, and the cabinetry is built to those exact dimensions. By the time installation starts, every cabinet, every run, every panel has been made specifically for your space. There are no on-site adjustments to compensate for measurements that were not taken accurately in the first place. That is one of the practical reasons why the design and manufacturing process matters as much as it does.
Can you help with appliance selection as well as the kitchen itself?
Yes. Appliances are part of the design from the beginning, not chosen separately and then fitted in later. The cabinetry is built around the specific appliances you are using, so everything integrates properly. We can advise on appliance selection or work with choices you have already made, whichever suits you.
We are based just outside Oakham. Do you cover the surrounding villages?
Yes, we work across Oakham and the wider Rutland area, including the surrounding villages and towns. We also cover Uppingham, Cottesmore, Empingham, and the broader Midlands region. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, the easiest thing to do is get in touch and we will let you know straightaway.
How do I get the process started?
Arrange a design consultation and we will come to your home. We look at the room, talk through what you are trying to achieve, and get a clear picture of the project before anything else happens. That conversation is where everything begins, and it costs you nothing to have it.
