Whether chiselled and smoothed granite or quartz from Portman Stone, or English Oak and Tulipwood sourced as locally as possible, we aim to deliver the best in traditional British kitchens. We go so far as to guarantee that we use traditional techniques such as mortise and tenon, and dovetail joints. Feel free to browse Classic Kitchens Direct range of cabinets from tall cabinets to oven housings, and our range of product choices including hinges, handles and worktops. All of our affordable handmade kitchens come with a wide range of styles and finishes including pre-painting.
We can provide your kitchen pre Primed and ready to hand paint - which is the best option, or we can spray paint in the factory. You may ask why we recommend painting on site rather than spray painting, well its quite simple. When we paint in the factory the finish is great, but we then have to wrap it, load it, drive it often 100's of miles, unload it, get it through doorways and hallways, stack it, then someone will unwrap it, move it and finally install it. To do all this on site with no damage at all is pretty difficult, hence we feel hand painting is the better option.
All of our kitchen cabinets and kitchen units are hand-assembled by the CKD team at our factory. This allows us lots of flexibility when it comes to cabinetry sizes and designs to give you a truly bespoke result. Our most basic unit is the kitchen base cabinet, which serves as the main kitchen unit. As our most popular offering, it's the cornerstone of many a CKD kitchen. Each unit tends to be 870mm high as standard, but can be between 860mm and 900mm for full flexibility in our Classic Range. To find out the full specification, please ask our friendly team.
But it can take time - please be aware that it takes a minimum of 8 weeks for us to build your kitchen, so you do need to plan ahead and get us the final details well in advance, please also note we are often booked up for months in advance so you can reserve a delivery slot, but as above we do need the 8 weeks to build a kitchen so do need a full signed off order in good time. By choosing us, you are choosing a bespoke, handcrafted handmade wooden kitchens painted in any colour. 3. The third option is for us to arrange a home visit for a designer to measure the room, discuss with you what you would like and drawer up a design for you.
The worktop in your kitchen is the one surface that works the hardest. It makes sense to firstly think about your budget and how much you want to lay out for your worktops. Finally, think about the colours and textures you want in your kitchen. If your cupboards are painted and smooth, you might want your worktops to be the same. If you've got a rustic, country feel to the room, you might want warm shades of wood to complement. Solid and durable, wood worktops will offer any kitchen a classic and traditional feel.
I used classic kitchens direct for our new kitchen and were very happy with the service, pricing and quality of their kitchens. I would definitely recommend them.
We spent a lot of time researching Kitchen companies and wanted a bespoke modern Kitchen. The team in Christchurch (Terry and Alan) were brilliant and helped us with our design, and were always available to talk. The quality of the cabinets (including dovetail joins, solid wood etc) are simply superb and we could not be happier with the outcome especially considering the price. I cannot recommend them high enough.
After visiting retailers like Neptune we realised that you pay a lot for the name and actually there was a lot of inflexibility with the design and budget. So after some research we found Classic Kitchens on the internet and what a find! The customer service was second to none and Alan and the team always made time for my questions and requests no matter how small. Our finished kitchen is stunning, so happy with the quality and never thought I would have such a gorgeous kitchen for the price. Would never hesitate in recommending them - thank you!
