Testimonials
"I have now completed 7 projects with Thomas Matthew. As a busy interior designer I need to work with trades I can trust, who are thoughtful and courteous to my clients, deliver on time, within budget and exceed expectations. All of this and more can be said of this company. Matthew never fails to understand that the work they are doing for me is generally only part of a much bigger project and any slippage in timing affects other trades and the schedule in general, this is a rare quality. He and the guys he employs all did their apprenticeships together, they have therefore worked as a team for years, are a known quantity and perform as a finely oiled machine. My professional life became a whole lot easier the day I employed Matthew. We already have more projects in the pipeline and I could not feel more confident that they will continue to deliver the fabulous work myself and my clients demand. Val Plummer At No 19 Interiors"
"We are so pleased with the quality of the new hand made cupboards which have transformed our lounge, As the units were built off site, this helped to keep any disruption and time spent fitting them to a minimum. The workmen were professional, polite and respectful in our home at all times."
"I had Thomas Matthew build me a beautiful handmade kitchen. The look and quality of the workmanship was perfection. The kitchen was a traditional in frame style kitchen, hand painted in French grey with corian worktops. I could not be happier and would highly recommend this company."

Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
At Thomas Matthew we aim to provide answers to some of the most common queries we receive about our bespoke kitchens. We understand that selecting and designing a new kitchen can be a significant investment and a complex process, which is why we’ve created this section to help provide clarity and address any concerns you may have. For any further queries we are a telephone call or email away.
What Is A Bespoke Kitchen?
A bespoke kitchen is a custom-made kitchen that is designed and built to meet the specific requirements and preferences of an individual or client, often using high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Each kitchen is uniquely tailored to room, floor plan, design style and finishes, with the customers vision ultimately in mind.
Is A Bespoke Kitchen Worth It?
Yes, we defiantly think so. But then we may be biased.
Whether a bespoke kitchen is worth the money ultimately depends on the individual’s priorities and budget. A bespoke kitchen can be more expensive than a standard or pre-made kitchen, but it offers several benefits such as personalized design, high-quality materials, and precise fitting to the space available.
If having a unique and personalized kitchen is a top priority and the budget allows for it, then a bespoke kitchen may be worth the investment. However, if affordability is a priority and customization is not as important, then a standard or pre-made kitchen may be a better option. Ultimately, the decision comes down to individual preferences, priorities, and budget constraints.
How Much Value Will A Bespoke Kitchen Add to your Home?
Statistics from the readers digest have shown that the average house value increase by 11% when a luxury kitchen is installed.
Though ultimately the value that a bespoke kitchen can add to your home will vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the materials used, the level of customization, and the design choices.
How Long Does It Take To Make A Bespoke Kitchen?
Generally speaking, it takes around 8 weeks to build, paint and fit a bespoke kitchen from scratch.
Of course the time it takes to make a bespoke kitchen can vary depending on other factors such as the size and complexity of the project, the availability of materials and schedule. With the proper planning and designs in place 8 weeks should be ample.
What Is The Most Expensive Part Of A New Kitchen?
The most expensive parts of a new kitchen are typically the cabinets. Custom-made cabinets using high-quality materials such as solid wood or custom finishes can significantly increase the cost of a new kitchen. Similarly, high-end countertops made from materials like marble, granite, or quartz can also add to the overall cost.
Other factors that can contribute to the cost of a new kitchen include appliances, flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. However, the cost of these components can vary widely depending on the specific products and brands chosen.
Can You Work With Specific Budgets?
Our kitchens usually start from around 20k.
With that said, at Thomas Matthew we recognize that each individual has unique budget limitations, and we are dedicated to collaborating with you to produce a design that fulfils your requirements while still remaining within your budget.
All we ask is that you tell us your budget before commencing design work, as this will ultimately effect what we can and cant include within the design.
What If I Want To Make Changes During The Design Process?
At Thomas Matthew, we value open communication with our clients throughout the design process and actively seek feedback and suggestions. We strive to collaborate with you to ensure that your final design is precisely what you envisioned.
How Long Does The Design Phase Take?
The Design Phase typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks to complete, although smaller projects with fewer decisions may require less time, while larger projects may take 6 to 10 weeks. The biggest factor for determining this is how quick the customer is at making decisions and how far through the decision/design process they are before approaching us.
Do You Offer A Warranty?
we are committed to providing our clients with exceptional quality and craftsmanship, which is why we offer a 10-year warranty on all of our bespoke kitchens. We use only the finest materials and techniques to construct our kitchens, ensuring that they are built to last and withstand the test of time.
