A Kitchen Built Around a Big Island: Full Refit in Farnham

This was a big kitchen in Farnham with a lot of potential, and the brief was to make the most of every inch of it. The owners wanted something that looked timeless, worked hard every day and felt like the heart of the home. So we took it all out and started again.

Out with the old

First job was a full strip-out. The old units, worktops and appliances all came out, and we ripped up the old tiled floor right back to the base. Starting from scratch meant we could plan everything properly, from the pipework and electrics to exactly where each unit, appliance and light would go.

Warm floors first

Before anything else went in, we laid underfloor heating across the whole kitchen. On top of that went wood-effect tile flooring, which gives you the warmth and look of timber with the toughness of tile. It’s easy to clean, it’ll last for years and it’s warm underfoot all winter.

The fitted wall

One whole wall is given over to tall fitted units in a soft grey Shaker style. Built into it are a large double fridge freezer, two stacked ovens at eye level, and plenty of tall storage so everything has a home. Next to the fridge we fitted open oak shelving for cookbooks and bits you want to hand, which breaks up the run nicely and adds a bit of warmth.

The island

The island is the centrepiece of the room, and it’s a big one. It’s finished in a deep navy with Shaker doors, antique brass cup handles and deep drawers for pans and storage. The induction hob sits in the middle, with a built-in extractor that vents straight outside, so there’s no bulky hood blocking the view across the room. There’s also room down one side for stools, so it works for cooking, eating and having people round.

Marble worktops and splashback

Every worktop in the room, including the island, is finished in white marble with a moulded edge. Behind the sink run we carried the marble up the wall as a full-height splashback, so it’s one clean, continuous surface with no grout lines. It’s the kind of finish that makes the whole kitchen feel high end.

Sink run and wall units

Along the back wall sit lower Shaker units in the same grey as the tall run, with an undermount sink and a brass 5-in-1 tap that does boiling, filtered, hot and cold water. We fitted two integrated dishwashers, because in a busy house one is never enough. Above the sink, black-framed wall units with fluted glass doors add a bit of contrast and show off what’s inside without it looking cluttered.

Lighting

We put LED strip lighting under the wall units so the marble splashback glows in the evening and you’ve got proper task lighting where you’re prepping. Ribbed glass pendants hang over the island and throw a great pattern across the ceiling when they’re on, and downlights across the ceiling fill in the rest. You can light it bright for cooking or keep it low and cosy at night.

The result

What started as a dated kitchen is now a bright, open, family space that looks the part and works just as well. Every unit, appliance, light and tile was fitted by us, which is exactly how we like to work: one team, start to finish, no passing the job around.

Two Bathrooms, One Big Statement: A Wet Room Refit in Grayshott

When we first walked into this home in Grayshott, near Hindhead, it was two separate bathrooms sitting side by side, with a wall running right through where the bath is now. The space was there, but it was split in half and neither room made the most of it. The brief was simple: open it up and make it something special.

Back to bare bones

We started by taking everything out: the dividing wall, suites, tiles, flooring, pipework, all of it. We stripped the whole space back to the bare structure so we had a blank canvas to work with. It’s the messy part nobody sees, but doing it properly is what lets everything else go in right.

Building it back up

With the wall gone, we had one big room under the sloped ceilings to play with. We built new stud walls to create the wet room area and set niches into them. We tiled the shower side and plastered and painted the other, so each side matches the room it faces. Custom-made glass screens finish the walls off, keeping the space open and light while holding the water where it should be.

The whole floor area is a wet room, so we tanked and fell the floors properly and fitted linear drains in the shower areas. It’s the sort of detail you don’t notice when it’s done right, and you really notice when it isn’t.

Twin showers

There are two walk-in showers side by side, each with its own ceiling-mounted rainfall head, handheld shower and concealed thermostatic controls. Built into the shower wall is a floating bench, finished in the same black and white checkered tile as the bath platform, with LED lighting tucked underneath so it looks like it’s hovering.

The bath

The freestanding bath was always going to be the centrepiece, so we gave it a stage. We built a raised platform, tiled it in a black and white checkered pattern and ran LED strip lighting around the base. At night, with the main lights down, the whole platform glows. Wall-mounted traditional taps and a handheld spray sit above it, set into the marble-effect tiles.

12 niches, every one lit

Storage was a big one. Instead of shelves and cabinets cluttering the walls, we built 12 recessed niches into the walls and stud partitions, each with its own lighting. They’re in the showers, behind the bath and in the partition walls. They’re practical for everyday use and they look incredible in the evening.

Floors and heating

The whole floor is laid in wood-effect herringbone tile, which carries straight through into the showers so the room flows as one space. Underneath is underfloor heating, so it’s warm underfoot from the moment you step in. Getting herringbone to line up across a room with this many angles, steps and drains takes time, and it was worth every minute.

Lighting

Lighting is what makes this room. We fitted downlights across the ceiling and LED strips under the bath platform and shower bench, plus the lit niches. We also put a large mirror into the sloped wall with lighting running all the way around its frame. You can set the room bright for the morning rush or dim it right down for a soak at night.

The finishing touches

We installed two sinks in a white vanity unit with wall-mounted taps, two wall-hung toilets with concealed cisterns, a traditional chrome heated towel rail and clean, painted walls to balance out the darker tiles. Every edge is trimmed and every line is straight.

The result

What was two ordinary bathrooms is now one open, luxurious wet room that feels more like a hotel suite than a family bathroom. Our team handled every part of it, from the first wall coming down to the last light going in.

Classic Bathroom Refit with Marble Herringbone and Brass

This bathroom had great bones: high ceilings, proper coving and a big bay window pulling in loads of natural light. The brief was to give it a bathroom to match, something classic and elegant that feels like it’s always belonged in the house, while being properly built underneath. We took it back and started again.

The walk-in shower

The shower was the big feature of this job. We built new stud walls to form a generous walk-in enclosure and fitted a long, low-profile shower tray so you can walk straight in. Inside, every wall is tiled in pure marble herringbone mosaic. Those tiles are small, and laying herringbone in marble takes patience. Every piece has to line up perfectly or the pattern falls apart, and this one runs dead straight from floor to ceiling.

To finish it off, we capped the tops of the stud walls in marble and ran it down the edges, so the walls look solid and built in rather than boxed out. A brass rainfall shower head and a traditional brass thermostatic valve with white ceramic levers complete the look.

The bath

We boxed in the bath with a white Shaker-style panel and topped it with a marble deck that wraps around the whole bath. The upstand at the back has a shaped edge that gives it a real period feel. Wall-mounted brass taps sit above, matching the shower and the basins.

Double vanity

On the opposite wall sits a painted double vanity with a mix of drawers and cupboards, all finished with brass knobs. It’s topped with marble and an upstand to match the bath, with two undermount basins and traditional brass taps with white ceramic levers. Two large white-framed mirrors hang above, one for each basin, so nobody’s fighting for space in the morning.

Brass details

The brass carries right through the room: taps, shower, towel rail and robe hooks all match. The brass ladder towel rail and hooks sit on the outside of the shower wall, right where you need them when you step out. A traditional chrome column radiator with a built-in towel rail sits by the vanity for that classic touch.

Flooring

The floor is laid in large-format parquet-effect tiles in a Versailles-style pattern. It gives you the look of a grand timber floor with all the practicality of tile, and it sits perfectly against the white skirting and the deep green walls.

Walls, ceiling and lighting

We finished the walls in a deep green, which makes the white marble, white joinery and brass really stand out. The coving and ceiling are crisp white, and downlights across the ceiling keep the room bright without taking anything away from the period feel.

The result

It’s a timeless bathroom that looks like it could have been there for a hundred years but works like a brand new one. Every tile, panel, tap and finish was fitted by us: one team, start to finish.

Bespoke Media Wall with Lit Shelving

This was a seriously big room, with tall ceilings and a wide main wall, but the old fireplace sat in the middle and didn’t make the most of the space. The owners wanted a feature that filled the wall properly, gave them a home for the TV and loads of storage, and looked like it had always been part of the house. So we took the fireplace out and built something from scratch.

Out with the fireplace

First job was ripping out the old fireplace and making good the wall behind it. That gave us a clean, flat run across the full width of the room to build into, and a blank canvas to design around.

Designed and built for the room

Nothing here is off the shelf. Every part of the media wall was designed, made and fitted by us to suit this exact room. With ceilings that high, it needed to have real presence, so we took it almost all the way up and finished the top with a proper cornice. Pilasters break the wall into sections, which gives it that classic, built-in library feel rather than looking like a big box screwed to the wall.

The TV at the centre

The TV sits right in the middle, set back into its own recessed panel so it sits neatly within the joinery rather than hanging off it. LED lighting runs around the TV recess, which frames the screen and gives a soft glow behind it when you’re watching in the evening. There’s room on the shelf below for a soundbar, and above the TV sits a lit display shelf to balance the whole thing out.

Lighting on every shelf

Either side of the TV are tall runs of open shelving, and every single shelf has its own LED strip. With the main lights off, the whole wall glows, and it turns the shelves into a proper display for books, photos and anything else the owners want to show off. It’s the detail that takes it from nice storage to the centrepiece of the room.

Cupboards and skirting

Along the bottom we built a full run of Shaker-style cupboards, giving loads of closed storage for all the bits you don’t want on show, plus somewhere to tuck away the TV kit. We finished the base with skirting board to match the rest of the room, so the whole thing sits on the floor like it’s part of the house rather than furniture pushed against the wall.

The result

Where there was once a tired fireplace, there’s now a full-width feature wall that gives the room a real focal point. It’s practical, it’s packed with storage and at night it’s a showpiece. Every panel, shelf, light and cupboard was made and fitted by us: one team, start to finish.
