A front should be quiet. Nothing sticks out, catches a sleeve or works loose.
Kitchen in Sand and Bone, Clifton, fitted in 2025
We are eleven joiners who think handles are the first thing to break.
Since 2014 we have made fronts the slow way: moisture-resistant board, five coats of water-based lacquer and one grip milled into the face or the edge. They fit the carcasses you already have, from IKEA to bespoke.
How we workFour grips, cut to order.
Each grip is milled 12 mm into a 19 mm front and lacquered with the rest of the panel, so it keeps the colour and the feel of the door.
Half
Half the circle on one door, for single doors and wall units.
from €96 a front
Long
A tall slot across the seam, for pantries and larders.
from €220 a pair

from €88 a front
Low
A short edge notch for drawers and base units.

SageGrey-green, softer in daylight
Nine matte finishes, mixed in the workshop.
Chalky, soft to the touch and wipeable. Tap a colour to see it on a full door, then order the real chips: screens lie about colour.
From a sketch to a fitted wall in six weeks.
One team from the first visit to the last screw, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the door.

Four hundred rooms since 2014, most of them within an hour of the workshop. A few of our favourites.
Honest materials, measured.
What goes into a front, and how little of it ends up in a skip.

What people say after a year of opening them
Notes from clients, collected when we come back to adjust the doors.
-
Three years in and not one grip has chipped. The Sage looks different at every hour, and I like all of them.
-
They fitted new fronts onto our old carcasses in a single day. It feels like a new kitchen for a third of the price.
-
Our toddler cannot find the handles. Best child lock we have ever had.
-
I sent a sketch on a napkin and got back a drawing to the millimetre, with every door swing marked.
-
The Coal fronts really don't show fingerprints. I did not believe it until the grandchildren visited.

Order the sample boxBefore you ask
Still unsure? Write to us and a joiner will answer.
Will your fronts fit my existing kitchen?
Almost always. We make fronts for IKEA, Howdens and most standard carcasses, and measure bespoke ones on site.
How deep is the grip, and is it comfortable?
Grips are milled 12 mm into a 19 mm board: enough room for four fingertips, with every edge rounded so nothing feels sharp.
Can I clean matte lacquer?
Yes. A damp cloth and mild soap is all it needs. The finish is rated for kitchens and resists grease and fingerprints.
What if a front gets damaged?
We keep the recipe of every colour we mix, so a replacement front matches the rest, even years later.
Do you deliver outside Bristol?
We deliver flat-packed fronts anywhere in the UK. Fitting is available within 100 miles of the workshop.
Come and open a few doors.
Our showroom is a wall of fronts in every finish and grip. Drop in, or leave a note and we will call you back.
