Melamine

What is melamine and why do you build with it?

Melamine is a hard-wearing board with a durable, factory-finished surface. It is a practical, good-looking choice for kitchens, bedroom cupboards, vanities and built-ins, and it comes in a wide range of colours and finishes. It also keeps the price sensible compared with many other materials.

Is melamine good for a kitchen?

Yes. A melamine surface is easy to wipe clean and handles the daily wear of a busy kitchen well. We design the layout, doors and drawers around how you actually cook and live.

Can I choose my own colours and handles?

Yes. You choose the finish and handles that suit your space. You can try finishes and handle colours in our 3D demo, then we confirm your exact choices in your design.

What do you build?

Custom melamine kitchens, bedroom cupboards, bathroom vanities and built-in cupboards. Every job is made to measure for your space.

Quotes & pricing

How much does a kitchen or cupboard cost?

It depends on the size of the space, the layout, the finish and the handles you choose, so there is no honest one-size price. Send us your idea on WhatsApp and we will give you a free quote.

Is the quote really free?

Yes. The measure on site and the quote are free. You will see a clear price before anything is built.

What happens before I pay anything?

We measure on site, then prepare your 3D design and your price. You see exactly what you are getting first. Payment terms are confirmed in your quote.

Can I get a quote from photos and rough measurements?

Yes. Send photos and rough measurements on WhatsApp and we can chat through your project. We then measure properly on site so the final design fits perfectly.

Timing & process

How long does it take?

From the day we start your job, everything is done within 2 weeks maximum: measure, design, manufacture and installation. See the full breakdown on our process page.

What are the steps?

We measure on site, do a 3D design, make a 3D render, prepare your cutting list and price, do a final measurement, then manufacture and install.

Do you measure on site?

Yes. We measure at your home first and again as a final measurement before we manufacture, so everything fits.

Who installs it?

Our own team manufactures and installs your cupboards, so the people who build it are the ones who fit it.

3D & cutting lists

Do you do 3D designs?

Yes. We design your kitchen, bedroom cupboards, vanity or built-ins in 3D so you can see the layout before we build.

What is a 3D render?

A 3D render is a realistic picture of your finished space with your chosen finish and handles, so you can see how it will look. Find out more on our design page.

Can I walk around my design in 3D?

Yes. We provide a navigable 3D environment of your kitchen or bedroom so you can explore it. Try our live 3D demo to get a feel for it.

Do you supply cutting lists?

Yes. We prepare cutting lists, and we also offer 3D designs and cutting lists as their own service if you already have someone to build for you. Ask us on WhatsApp.
