Hey there! If your kitchen's looking a bit disjointed with appliances sticking out at odd angles, or if you're dreamin' of that sleek, put-together look where everything just flows, you've landed in the right spot. We're Nottingham Kitchen Fitter, and making appliances blend beautifully into your kitchen is what we do best.

Since 2010, we've fitted more than 800 kitchens around Nottingham, from Victorian terraces in The Park to modern apartments near the city centre. Our integrated appliance housing solutions make a massive difference to how your kitchen looks and works.

Got a fridge that sticks out like a sore thumb? Washing machine ruining your kitchen flow? Let's sort that out.

Kitchen Fitted Furniture Supplier Nottingham

As Nottingham's trusted kitchen fitted furniture experts, we create purpose-built cabinets that make your appliances disappear (well, not really disappear - they're still there, just looking much better!).

What makes us different from big kitchen companies is our local knowledge. We know Nottingham homes inside out. Those quirky corners in Lace Market properties? The oddly-shaped kitchens in Beeston's period homes? We've seen it all and sorted it all.

"Michael and his team transformed our kitchen by hiding all the appliances. It looks twice as big and much more expensive than it was! They understood exactly what would work in our Sneinton Victorian terrace." - Mick & Helen, Sneinton

Why Choose Integrated Appliance Housing?

Let's be honest - kitchen appliances can be ugly. Even the fancy ones sometimes look out of place next to your lovely cabinets. Integrated appliance housing solves this problem by hiding them behind matching cabinet doors.

But it's not just about looks:

Creates a cleaner, less cluttered kitchen
Makes small kitchens feel bigger (a big plus for those Nottingham terraced houses!)
Protects appliances from dust and damage
Reduces noise (especially good for open-plan spaces)
Adds value to your home (estate agents in Nottingham love to see integrated appliances)

One family in West Bridgford told us their kitchen felt "twice as peaceful" after we integrated their noisy dishwasher and washing machine. Little things make big differences!

Types of Integrated Appliance Housing We Offer

Fridge and Freezer Integration

Nobody wants a big white or silver box dominating their kitchen. Our integrated fridge housing solutions hide your cooling appliances behind cabinet doors that match the rest of your kitchen.

We've installed integrated fridge freezers in hundreds of Nottingham homes, from compact under-counter options for small spaces to American-style side-by-sides in larger kitchens in areas like Woodthorpe and Mapperley.

"We never thought our massive fridge could be hidden away so well. The team measured perfectly and now it just blends in with our other cabinets." - Stacy, Wollaton

Oven and Microwave Housing Units

Creating the perfect built-in oven housing is all about getting heights right. We make sure your ovens are at the perfect level for you - no more bending down to check on your Sunday roast!

Our oven housing units can include:

Single or double ovens
Combi-microwave ovens
Warming drawers
Storage for baking trays
Integrated coffee machines

We recently completed a fantastic triple-stack oven housing for a family of bakers in Carlton, perfectly aligned with their worktop for easy transfer of hot dishes.

Dishwasher Integration Solutions

Dishwashers might be practical, but they're not usually pretty. Our integrated dishwasher housing makes them disappear behind a matching cabinet door.

We make sure the door is perfectly balanced and opens smoothly, with no catching or dropping. It's these little details that separate an OK kitchen from a great one.

"After years of having an ugly dishwasher front spoiling our kitchen, it's brilliant to have it hidden away. Even our friends can't tell where it is!" - The Khans, Arnold

Washing Machine Housing

Many Nottingham homes, especially in areas like the Lace Market and Hockley, have kitchens that double as utility spaces. We're experts at creating integrated washing machine cabinet solutions that hide your laundry appliances.

We can build:

Single washing machine housing
Combined washer/dryer units
Stacked washing and drying solutions to save space
Integrated laundry sorting areas

Our washing machine integration includes proper ventilation and easy access for maintenance - practical as well as pretty!

Specialist Appliance Housing

We don't just do the basics. If you've got specialty appliances, we can integrate those too:

Wine coolers
Coffee machines
Steam ovens
Sous vide drawers
Teppanyaki grills
Anything else you've splashed out on!

A client in The Park had a collection of high-end coffee equipment that was cluttering their worktops. We created a beautiful built-in coffee station with sliding doors that could be opened when in use and closed to hide everything away afterwards.

What's The Difference Between Integrated and Built-in Appliances?

This is a question we get all the time!

Built-in appliances are designed to fit within standard cabinet spaces but typically have their own door or front panel that's visible. Think of a built-in oven or microwave with its metal and glass front.

Integrated appliances go a step further and are completely hidden behind cabinet doors that match the rest of your kitchen. Your fridge, dishwasher, or washing machine fronts are covered with panels identical to your other cabinet doors.

Semi-integrated appliances are a bit of both - usually the control panel remains visible while the majority is hidden behind a matching door.

We can help with all three types, depending on what works best for your kitchen and budget.

Technical Stuff You Should Know

Integrating appliances isn't just about slapping a door on the front. There's some important technical bits we take care of:

Ventilation Requirements

All appliances need proper airflow. Our appliance housing units include the right ventilation gaps and channels to keep everything running safely. This is super important for fridges, freezers and washing machines, which can overheat if they can't breathe properly.

Heat Management

Ovens and microwaves generate loads of heat. Our housing units use special heat-resistant materials and include proper gaps to manage this heat safely.

Service Access

Appliances sometimes need fixing. We design our units so appliances can be easily accessed for maintenance without having to rip out half your kitchen.

Cable and Plumbing Routing

Nothing ruins the look of a nice integrated unit like cables and pipes hanging out. We carefully plan where all the connections go so everything stays hidden but accessible.

How We Design Your Appliance Housing

Every integrated appliance housing project starts with proper planning:

We measure your appliances (or the ones you're planning to buy) down to the millimetre
We chat about how you use your kitchen and what access you need
We create detailed drawings showing exactly how everything will fit
We show you material and finish samples to match your existing kitchen or create a whole new look
Our workshop builds the units precisely to these specifications
Our fitting team installs everything, making sure all appliances work perfectly

Michael, our head designer, has been creating integrated solutions for Nottingham homes for over 15 years. He's particularly good at solving those tricky spaces where standard units just don't fit.

Our Installation Process

Getting appliance housing right is all about the details. Our installation team:

Carefully removes any existing units or prepares the space
Ensures all services (water, electricity, gas) are correctly positioned
Installs the housing units, making sure they're perfectly level and secure
Fits the appliances, checking they function correctly
Attaches doors and handles, adjusting until the alignment is perfect
Tests everything thoroughly before we leave

"The attention to detail during installation was amazing. The doors line up perfectly and everything opens and closes just right. These guys really know what they're doing." - Marco & Rebecca, Ruddington

Real-Life Example: The Lace Market Transformation

Last year, we completed a challenging project in a listed building in Nottingham's Lace Market. The owners wanted all modern appliances but needed to preserve the character of their historic property.

The challenges included:

Uneven floors and walls
Strict conservation area guidelines
Limited spaces for ventilation
A mix of different appliance brands and sizes

Our solution:

Custom-built housings that accommodated the uneven surfaces
Period-appropriate cabinet fronts that satisfied conservation requirements
Cleverly hidden ventilation channels
A unified design that made different appliances look like a cohesive set

The result was a kitchen that looked authentic to the building's heritage but functioned like a modern, high-end space. The clients were thrilled and we've since had three referrals from their neighbours!

How Much Does Integrated Appliance Housing Cost?

We won't lie - integrated housing costs more than leaving appliances freestanding. But it's less than you might think, and the value it adds to your kitchen (and home) is substantial.

Basic integration solutions (like a simple dishwasher housing) start from about £350 including fitting.

More complex units (like a bank of ovens or a large American fridge freezer) typically range from £800-£1,500.

Full integration of all appliances in an average Nottingham kitchen usually falls between £2,000-£4,000, depending on the number of appliances and complexity.

We're happy to provide a no-obligation quote for your specific needs. We're not the cheapest in Nottingham, but we're far from the most expensive, and we never compromise on quality.

Can Any Appliance Be Integrated?

Almost any appliance can be integrated, but some are easier than others:

Easy to integrate:

Dishwashers
Washing machines
Standard fridges and freezers
Ovens and microwaves
Wine coolers

More challenging but possible:

American-style fridge freezers
Range cookers
Commercial-grade appliances
Vintage or non-standard sized appliances

One client in Beeston had a vintage Smeg fridge they loved but that didn't fit standard dimensions. We created a custom housing unit that not only accommodated it but made it a feature of their kitchen.

If you've got an unusual appliance, bring us the challenge. We love solving tricky integration problems!

Do Integrated Appliances Need Special Measurements?

Getting measurements right is absolutely critical for successful appliance integration. We need to know:

The exact width, height and depth of each appliance
Required ventilation clearances (these vary by brand and model)
Door opening arcs and hinge positions
Service access requirements
Connection point locations

Don't worry about figuring all this out yourself - it's what we do. If you've already got the appliances, we'll measure them. If you're still shopping, we can advise on models that will integrate well with your kitchen design.

Looking After Your Integrated Appliances

Integrated appliances need a bit of special care:

Door hinges might need occasional adjustment as they get used
Ventilation grilles should be kept clear of dust
Some appliances (especially fridges) may need their doors left open when not used for long periods

When we install your integrated units, we'll leave you with all the care instructions you need. And if anything needs adjusting down the road, just give us a call - we're always happy to come back and sort it.
