We fit kitchens in Henley-on-Thames, not supply them. You choose and order the units and worktop from whichever kitchen company you prefer, and we fit them to a standard that suits the house they are going into. In a Georgian townhouse kitchen extension, or a riverside property with large glazing and long sightlines, the units themselves rarely fail a project. What fails it is a scribe that gaps at the wall, an end panel that is not plumb, or a run that does not sit level on a floor that has moved over a century or more.
Henley's older kitchens sit in some of the most altered parts of these houses. Extensions have been added, walls knocked through, and floors levelled at different points over the years, so a kitchen carcass run that looks square on the plan often meets a wall that is not. Getting the scribes, end panels and worktop joints right against that kind of surface takes patience and a level, not just a drill. We treat kitchen fitting the same way we treat any fitted joinery here, survey first, plan the setting out, then fit to the room rather than to the drawing.
Access is part of the job too. Units, worktops and appliances have to come through Henley's narrow town-centre streets, restricted parking and, in some properties, tight internal doorways and stair turns before they even reach the kitchen. We plan delivery and carrying routes at the free site visit so the day of fitting is not lost to logistics. If your kitchen sits within a listed building or Henley's conservation area, any consent needed for structural changes such as removing a wall or altering an opening is your responsibility to check with South Oxfordshire District Council.
