Wakefield Kitchen Range

Free Consultation

 

0115-824-4201

Wakefield is one of the named door and cabinet ranges we design, supply and fit for kitchens across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire - the name describes a cabinet configuration, not a place, and nobody's driving over from Yorkshire to fit it. You'll see it listed next to other named styles such as our Jefferson range and Madison range, and honestly, the differences between named ranges usually come down to door profile, handle detail and the colours on offer - things that are far easier to judge from a physical sample held against your own units than from a description on a page.

That's why a Wakefield range quote starts with a free home visit rather than an online configurator. Someone measures your kitchen properly, brings door and worktop samples so you can see the finish in your own light, and builds a CAD floor plan showing roughly how the units and worktop run would sit before you commit to anything. Whether you're in Nottingham itself, out toward West Bridgford or Beeston, or further into Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire, that visit and the full written quote that follows are free and carry no obligation.

The Trades and Tasks Behind a Wakefield Range Kitchen

  • A free home design visit with physical Wakefield range door and worktop samples, plus a CAD floor plan built to your kitchen's real dimensions
  • Made-to-measure cabinetry, cut and fitted by City & Guilds trained cabinet makers rather than off-the-shelf carcasses
  • Worktop templating and fitting in granite, Italian marble, engineered quartz or a sintered surface such as Corian or Dekton, cut and jointed in-house
  • Plumbing for sinks, taps and integrated appliances, carried out by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds qualified plumbers
  • New sockets, lighting circuits and appliance wiring by Part P approved electricians, certified on completion
  • Gas hob or range cooker connection and commissioning, handled only by Gas Safe registered engineers
  • Plastering and making good to walls once the old kitchen's stripped out
  • Removal and disposal of your old kitchen under our registered waste carrier licence
  • One point of contact coordinating every trade, so you're dealing with one team instead of six separate contractors

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • Structural work - knocking through a wall or removing anything load-bearing needs its own structural quote and building control sign-off
  • Rewiring your consumer unit or house circuits beyond what the kitchen itself requires
  • Flooring supply and fitting, unless you've specifically asked for it to be added to your quote
  • Appliances themselves, unless you've chosen a supply package - we'll fit appliances you already own or ones quoted separately
  • Asbestos removal in older properties, which a specialist contractor has to clear before our team can start
  • Planning permission or building regulations applications for larger projects connected to the kitchen

How a Wakefield Range Kitchen Comes Together, Start to Finish

  1. First contact -- Tell us roughly what you're after and where you're based, by phone, message or the online form. If you're weighing the Wakefield range against another named style, mention that too - we can talk through the practical differences before you book anything.
  2. Home visit with samples -- We measure the kitchen properly, bring physical Wakefield range door and worktop samples so you can judge the finish against your own light and colours, and put together a CAD floor plan showing how it would actually sit in your room.
  3. Written quote -- An itemised written quote follows, with every cost listed and nothing added later. Kitchens through us start from around £5,000, and finance is available through an FCA-regulated partner if you'd rather spread the cost.
  4. Strip-out and first fix -- The old kitchen comes out and is removed under our registered waste carrier licence, then first-fix plumbing and electrics go in before any new cabinetry arrives on site.
  5. Cabinetry, worktop and finishing trades -- Units are built and fitted, the worktop is templated and cut, then plastering, tiling and decorating follow on - coordinated so trades aren't standing on top of each other.
  6. Final fix and sign-off -- Appliances are connected and, where gas is involved, commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You get a formal sign-off and a written installation warranty before the job's called finished.

Budgeting for a Wakefield Range Kitchen: What Changes the Price

The Wakefield name itself doesn't carry a separate price tag - named ranges are priced on door style and cabinet configuration, and the cost difference between one named range and another is usually smaller than people expect. What actually moves the total is the size of your kitchen, the worktop material you choose and how many appliances need integrating. As a general guide, UK kitchen supply-and-fit projects typically run from around £6,000 to £15,000 or more (Checkatrade/MyBuilder, 2026), and kitchens through us start from around £5,000 for a full design, supply and fit. A small galley kitchen with a laminate worktop costs a fraction of an open-plan kitchen-diner with quartz surfaces and a full run of integrated appliances, even where both are built in the same Wakefield range. Flexible finance is available through an FCA-regulated partner, subject to status, if you'd rather spread the cost. None of these figures replace an actual number for your kitchen - the only way to get one you can rely on is a free home visit, where we measure the room and give you a full written quote with nothing missing from it.

How Much of Your Kitchen Actually Needs Replacing?

Question Full Wakefield range fit Doors and worktop only, same carcasses Respray & renovation refresh
Best suited to Cabinets are worn, damaged, or the layout's changing Carcasses are sound but the doors or worktop look dated Everything's structurally sound, just the finish looks tired
Typical starting cost From around £5,000, fully fitted Usually less than a full refit - priced against what's being replaced A fraction of a full refit
Typical time on site Around one to two weeks Several days, depending on scope Usually just a few days
Who does the work City & Guilds trained cabinet makers, made to your exact sizes Same team, working around your existing units Airless spraying specialists using dust-free mobile extraction
Worth knowing Layout can change, with new plumbing or electrics where needed Only works if the existing carcasses are square and sound Colour-matched to palettes such as Little Greene or Farrow & Ball

One Team Handling Every Trade Your Kitchen Needs

A kitchen project usually means booking a joiner, a plumber, an electrician, possibly a gas engineer, a plasterer and a decorator, then coordinating when each of them turns up. We handle all of that in-house, so a Wakefield range installation is one phone call rather than six: City & Guilds trained cabinet makers for the carpentry, NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds qualified plumbers, Part P approved electricians who certify their own work, and Gas Safe registered engineers for anything involving a hob or range cooker.

We're a family-run business, not a franchise or part of a national chain - over 20 years designing and fitting kitchens across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands, with more than 800 completed for local homeowners, from Victorian terraces in the Lace Market, where floors are rarely level and units need packing and scribing to sit properly, to modern apartments near the city centre where every centimetre of storage counts. The person who visits to measure your kitchen is the same person, or the same small team, who comes back to fit it.

Before anything starts, you get a clear written agreement with no hidden fees, and once the job's finished, a formal sign-off and a written installation warranty, backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on products. We're also members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses, and the CAD and interactive floor-planning software we use at your design visit gives a photo-realistic view of the finished kitchen before you commit to it.

Wakefield Range Coverage Across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire

Nottingham is where most Wakefield range installations happen, and it's where our workshop and fitting teams are based, working out to a radius of roughly 15-20 miles. Around Wollaton, close to Wollaton Hall and its deer park, the older housing stock tends to suit the more classic end of our range styling, while the Lace Market and Creative Quarter see more industrial-chic requests - exposed brick, matte-black hardware - alongside the usual challenge of period floors that were never quite level to begin with, a legacy of the sandstone the old city sits on. West Bridgford is the far side of Trent Bridge, which factors into how deliveries get scheduled, and Beeston and Clifton run along the Nottingham Express Transit tram corridor, which our mobile fitting teams use as a direct route in. We also fit regularly in Arnold and Sneinton.

Beyond Greater Nottingham, we cover Nottinghamshire towns including Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and into Derbyshire as far as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, extending toward Chesterfield and the Derbyshire border. For the right project we'll also travel further into South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Wakefield and York - mention your postcode when you get in touch and we'll confirm whether a free home visit is workable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Wakefield range?

It's one of our named door and cabinet configurations, sitting alongside styles like our Jefferson range and Madison range. Rather than try to describe door profile and finish in text, we'd rather bring physical samples to a free home visit and hold them against your own kitchen's light and colours - it's a far more reliable way to judge a door than a photo on a screen. Whatever the specific profile, it's built by the same City & Guilds trained cabinet makers who handle everything from traditional Shaker styles to modern handleless designs.

How much does a Wakefield range kitchen cost supplied and fitted?

Kitchens through us start from around £5,000 for a full design, supply and fit, and UK-wide benchmarks for a complete kitchen project generally sit between £6,000 and £15,000 or more depending on size and specification. Where your Wakefield range kitchen lands in that range depends on the size of the room, the worktop material and how many appliances need integrating. A free home visit is the only way to get a figure specific to your kitchen, and flexible finance is available through an FCA-regulated partner, subject to status.

Do I need a full new kitchen, or could I just replace the doors and worktop?

If your existing cabinets are square, sound and just look dated, replacing the doors and worktop on the same carcasses is usually cheaper and quicker than a full Wakefield range fit. It only works if the carcasses are genuinely in good condition, though - we'll tell you honestly at the home visit if that's not the case, rather than sell you a full refit you don't need.

What worktops work well with the Wakefield range?

Most customers pair it with granite, Italian marble, engineered quartz or a tougher sintered surface like Corian or Dekton, all templated with laser measuring, cut in-house and fitted by our stonemasons. Which one suits best usually comes down to how the kitchen gets used day to day: quartz and sintered surfaces cope well with a busy family kitchen, while marble tends to suit a lower-traffic room where the look matters more than daily wear.

How long does installing a Wakefield range kitchen take?

A straightforward replacement on an existing footprint usually takes around one to two weeks on site once the old kitchen comes out. That stretches out if the layout's changing, if there's plastering across a larger area, or if we're waiting on a specific worktop material - your written quote will include a realistic timeframe once we've seen the room.

Do you supply and fit the Wakefield range across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire?

Yes - Nottingham is our main base, but we fit kitchens right across Nottinghamshire, including Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and into Derbyshire as far as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton, Heanor and Chesterfield. Get in touch with your postcode and we'll confirm a free home visit.

Despite the name, is the Wakefield range actually fitted by local teams in Nottingham rather than travelling from Wakefield?

Yes - 'Wakefield' here is just the name of the door and cabinet range, not a description of where the fitting team comes from. We're a Nottingham-based, family-run business, and the people who measure your kitchen and the people who fit it are the same local team, whether you're in the city or out in Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire.

Can I see the Wakefield range in a showroom before booking?

We don't run a walk-in showroom. Instead, a free home visit brings physical door and worktop samples to you, along with CAD and interactive floor-planning software that gives a photo-realistic view of the Wakefield range set out in your own kitchen. That tends to be more useful than a generic showroom display, since you're judging it against your actual layout and lighting rather than someone else's room.

Made-to-measure cabinetry only gets ordered once a design's signed off, so the earlier you get a home visit booked, the sooner fitting can be scheduled. The visit and the full written quote that follows are free and carry no obligation - you'll walk away with a CAD floor plan, physical samples to compare, and a straight answer on cost and timing.
