Aldana Kitchen Range

This page covers the Aldana kitchen range on its own terms: a narrow-frame shaker door with a painted woodgrain finish, available in colours including Reed Green and Taupe Grey, fitted properly in a Nottingham or Nottinghamshire home by a Nottingham-based, family-run kitchen fitter.

Aldana sits alongside the other STORI-family doors, and if you're still deciding between finishes it's worth putting it next to the Georgia kitchen range before committing to anything - the two share a shaker heritage but read quite differently once they're on the wall, and seeing them side by side on the Georgia range page usually settles the decision faster than photos on a supplier's website do. Either way, a free home visit and a full written quotation cost nothing and commit you to nothing.

• A free home visit and measure-up, followed by a CAD and interactive floor-planning design showing Aldana doors in your actual room layout before you decide anything
• Aldana painted-woodgrain shaker cabinet doors and drawer fronts in your chosen colour, such as Reed Green or Taupe Grey
• Matching cabinet carcasses, soft-close hinges and drawer runners, built and fitted by City & Guilds trained joiners and cabinet makers
• Worktop templating and fitting in your choice of material - laminate, granite, marble, quartz or a sintered surface such as Dekton
• Plumbing for sinks, taps and integrated appliances, carried out by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds qualified plumbers
• Electrical first and second fix, sockets and lighting, installed by Part P approved electricians with full certification supplied on completion
• Gas hob or range cooker connection and commissioning by Gas Safe registered engineers, where the job needs one
• Plastering to make good any walls disturbed by the new units, plus tiling, splashback fitting and finishing touches around the kitchen
• Removal and legal disposal of your old kitchen, carried out under a registered waste carrier licence
• A formal sign-off, a written installation warranty and an aftercare contact once the job is finished

• Structural work such as knocking through walls, removing a chimney breast or altering floor joists - this gets quoted separately once a site visit has confirmed what's actually involved
• Major rewiring or replumbing outside the kitchen itself, such as moving a boiler or upgrading a consumer unit, if your existing supply can't take the new layout
• The appliances themselves, unless you've asked for them as part of the package - customer-supplied appliances are fitted just as readily
• Flooring beyond the kitchen footprint, or matching new flooring into an adjoining open-plan dining or living area
• Planning permission or building control costs for any wider extension or structural change a bigger reconfiguration might need
• Decoration of the wider room beyond the areas disturbed by the fit - walls get made good, but a full repaint of the whole kitchen-diner isn't automatically included

1. Free home visit and measure-up -- You call or send an enquiry, and someone comes out to measure the room properly, check pipework and wiring, and look at anything awkward - a chimney breast, a sloped Victorian ceiling, a doorway that's slightly out of square - that will affect how Aldana units fit.
2. CAD design with Aldana doors in your actual layout -- Your kitchen is drawn up in CAD and interactive floor-planning software so you see a photo-realistic version of Aldana in your own room, not a showroom mock-up, and can change the layout, colour or worktop before anything is ordered.
3. Written quotation and agreement -- You get a full, no-obligation written quotation with no hidden extras, covering cabinetry, worktop, and every trade the job needs. Nothing is ordered until you've signed a written agreement setting out the price and schedule, so there are no surprises once fitting starts.
4. Strip-out and coordinated trades on site -- The old kitchen comes out and goes for legal disposal, then joiners, plumbers, electricians and, where needed, a Gas Safe engineer work through the first fix in the right order so the room isn't standing idle between trades.
5. Worktop templating, cabinet fit and finishing trades -- Worktops are laser-templated once the carcasses are in, then cut and fitted, Aldana doors are hung and aligned, and plastering, tiling and any decorating touch-ups are carried out to make good the room around the new units.
6. Sign-off and warranty -- You walk the finished kitchen with the team, snagging is dealt with there and then rather than left for a follow-up visit, and you're handed a written installation warranty alongside the 5-year labour and 2-year product guarantee.

There's no published manufacturer list price for the Aldana door style on its own - STORI Collection sells through fitters rather than direct, so what you pay depends on your cabinet run, worktop choice and how many trades your particular room needs. As a starting point, fitted kitchens through this business generally start from around £5,000, with flexible finance available through an FCA-regulated finance partner, subject to status. Set against the wider market, Checkatrade's 2026 kitchen cost guides put day-rate fitting labour at roughly £250-£350 a day, and a full kitchen renovation typically runs from about £6,200-£16,800 for a budget-conscious job up to £16,000-£60,000 or more for a bespoke, high-spec one. As a mid-range painted shaker range, Aldana tends to land somewhere in the middle of that spread once cabinetry, worktop and trade costs are added up, but that's a guide, not a quote for your kitchen. Room shape, pipework, whether a wall's coming out, and worktop material all move the number in either direction, so the only honest way to get a figure that means anything is a free home visit followed by a full written quotation with no hidden extras.

A narrow shaker frame like Aldana's leaves less room for error than a wider door does. The reveal between panel and frame is smaller, so a hinge set a couple of millimetres out, or a carcass that's not quite square, shows up as a visible step down every door front instead of getting lost in a deeper frame the way it might on a heavier-set style. That's the practical reason it matters that the person measuring your kitchen is still involved when the doors go on: they already know where the room's out of true, where the plaster's uneven, or where an old skirting board doesn't run straight, and they can plan hinge positions and door gaps around that before a single unit is ordered, rather than a second fitter working blind from someone else's notes weeks later. Aldana fitting here stays with one in-house team rather than being passed to a rotating list of subcontractors - carpentry and cabinet making is carried out by City & Guilds trained craftsmen who set the carcasses and hang the doors themselves, which is what keeps a narrow-frame door sitting flush after the plaster's dried and the house has settled for a few months. It also means the sign-off walkthrough at the end catches genuine alignment issues on the spot, rather than a fitter guessing at a design someone else drew up. If an Aldana door does drop out of true later, it's covered by the 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and the 2-year guarantee on products, rather than an extra call-out charge.

Nottingham is home ground for this business, and Aldana gets fitted across a wide spread of it, from Victorian terraces to newer builds closer to the ring road. In the Lace Market and the wider Creative Quarter, where old warehouse conversions have pushed exposed brick and matte-black door furniture into a lot of kitchen briefs, Aldana's Taupe Grey painted finish sits comfortably against that industrial backdrop - a busier, more ornate shaker profile can start to compete with raw brickwork, where Aldana's slimmer frame stays in the background instead of fighting for attention. Down toward West Bridgford and the Trent Bridge side of the city, streets running close to the river are often narrow with limited on-street parking, so fitting days in that pocket tend to get pencilled in with a bit more lead time than a job with easy van access - a logistics detail rather than anything about the kitchen design itself, but one that affects how quickly a job can be booked in. Fitting vans cover the rest of the city and its immediate suburbs - Beeston, Arnold, Sneinton and Wollaton - as a matter of course, and the NET tram corridor through Beeston and Clifton roughly tracks where a good share of that day-to-day installation work happens, which is mainly useful for scheduling consecutive fitting days rather than anything about the kitchens themselves. Beyond the city, jobs run out to Nottinghamshire towns including Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and across into Derbyshire as far as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor - broadly a 15-20 mile radius that occasionally stretches to Chesterfield. Enquiries from further out, including Sheffield, York and the actual city of Wakefield, do come in and get looked at case by case, though the regular fitting work stays within that Nottingham-centred radius.

A free home visit and a written quotation cost nothing and put you under no pressure to book on the spot. But if there's building work, a house move or other trades already booked around your kitchen, getting the CAD design and a firm written quote sorted early means plumbing, electrics and gas can all be scheduled properly instead of squeezed in around everyone else's timetable. Get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation Aldana consultation and see the design in your own room before you decide on anything.
