Still Have Questions?
Choosing a new kitchen is a significant investment. If you’d like advice on colours, layouts, worktops or pricing, book a free design consultation with Nevin. We’ll help you explore every option and create a kitchen that’s tailored to your home, lifestyle and budget.
Are Crathorne Shaker kitchens made from solid timber?
Yes. Crathorne doors are manufactured from premium solid ash, providing exceptional strength, durability and a beautifully crafted finish. Solid ash also offers the ideal surface for painted kitchens, delivering a high-quality finish designed to stand the test of time.
What colours are available in the Crathorne kitchen range?
Crathorne is available in a carefully selected range of stocked paint colours, with the option to have your kitchen professionally colour matched to almost any shade. This allows you to create a truly bespoke kitchen that complements your home and personal style.
Can I choose a bespoke paint colour?
Absolutely. In addition to the stocked colour collection, Crathorne can be professionally colour matched to thousands of paint colours, giving you complete design freedom.
Is Crathorne available as a handleless kitchen?
Yes. One of Crathorne’s unique features is that it can be specified as either a traditional shaker kitchen or as a contemporary handleless design, allowing you to achieve a sleek, modern look while retaining the warmth and craftsmanship of solid ash cabinetry.
Can this kitchen be designed to fit my room?
Yes. Crathorne is available in bespoke sizes, allowing us to design a kitchen around your room rather than forcing your room to fit standard cabinet sizes. This helps maximise storage, improve proportions and create a truly tailored finish.
What worktops pair well with the Aylesford Micro Shaker kitchen?
The clean lines of the Aylesford range work beautifully with quartz worktops, natural stone, timber and high-quality laminate surfaces. During your design consultation we’ll recommend worktop options that complement your chosen door colour and overall style.
Do your kitchens include soft-close drawers and hinges?
Yes. All of our kitchens are supplied with premium soft-close hinges and drawer runners as standard, providing smooth, quiet operation and long-lasting performance.
Do you only supply kitchens, or do you install them too?
Unlike many kitchen retailers, we provide a complete design, supply and installation service across Manchester and the surrounding areas. Our experienced team manages everything from initial design through to installation, including building work, electrics, plumbing, plastering, flooring and decorating where required.
How much does an Aylesford Micro Shaker kitchen cost?
Every kitchen is individually designed, so the cost depends on the size of your room, the cabinet configuration, worktops, appliances and installation requirements. We offer free home design appointments and detailed quotations with no obligation, allowing you to understand the full investment before making a decision.
How long does it take to install a new kitchen?
Lead times vary depending on your chosen finish and whether you’ve selected a stocked or bespoke painted colour. Once your kitchen has been manufactured, a typical installation usually takes between one and three weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
