Madison Kitchen Range

Free Consultation

 

0115-824-4201

If you've been looking at the Madison kitchen range and want to know what it actually costs to have one fitted properly, rather than just priced from a catalogue, you're in the right place. Madison is a solid ash shaker door, built with a 3mm v-groove joint that gives it a crisp, hand-finished look rather than the flatter profile you get from an MDF equivalent. We design, supply and fit the Madison range for homeowners right across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, and we also travel out to Wakefield for households who've seen the style and want the same made-to-measure approach without settling for a national chain's version of it.

A free home visit is how every Madison quote starts here - no obligation, no pressure, just a proper look at your kitchen space so the price you're given holds once the fitters actually arrive. If Madison's classic shaker lines aren't quite what you pictured, it's worth putting it side by side with our Jefferson range or the more contemporary Kensington range before you commit anything - we can bring samples of all three to the same appointment so you're comparing them properly, not from a screen.

The Trades and Tasks a Madison Fit Actually Covers

  • Solid ash Madison door units supplied and fitted in your choice of colour and finish
  • A free home visit with CAD floor-planning, so the layout is agreed before anything is ordered
  • Sink, tap and integrated appliance plumbing carried out by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds qualified plumbers
  • Full carcass and cabinet installation by City & Guilds trained joiners
  • Electrical first and second fix by Part P approved electricians, with the paperwork to prove it
  • Worktop templating and fitting, whether that's laminate, quartz, granite or a sintered surface like Dekton
  • Gas hob or range cooker connection and commissioning by a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • Plastering and making good once your old kitchen has been stripped out
  • Removal of your old units and site waste under our registered waste carrier licence

  • A formal sign-off and written installation warranty once the job is finished

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • Structural work such as knocking through a wall between kitchen and dining room - that needs its own structural quote and usually building control sign-off, so it's priced apart from the kitchen itself
  • Underfloor heating installation - we can arrange it, but it's costed separately, not bundled into a standard Madison fit
  • The cost of the appliances themselves, unless you've specifically asked us to supply them as part of the package
  • Non-standard or oversized cabinet dimensions outside the Madison range's normal sizing, which carry a bespoke costing rather than a standard price
  • Dealing with asbestos if it turns up during strip-out of an older property - that has to be handled by a licensed specialist before we can carry on, and it isn't something we can price in advance

Ordering Solid Ash: How a Madison Job Runs From First Call to Handover

  1. Home visit and measuring up -- We come to you, measure the room and talk through Madison's colour, handle and worktop options against your actual walls and light rather than a showroom display.
  2. Written quote and design sign-off -- You get a photo-realistic CAD layout and a full written price with nothing hidden. Nothing goes into production until you've signed it off.
  3. Solid ash doors go into production -- Once you confirm the order, Madison's ash-framed doors are cut and finished to your specification - this is the stage that sets the overall timeline, since a hand-finished solid ash door takes several weeks longer to come through than a stock MDF equivalent, and we give you a firm delivery date rather than a guess so you can plan strip-out around it.
  4. Strip-out and first-fix trades -- Your old kitchen comes out, plastering and making good happens where it's needed, and electrical and plumbing first fix goes in - all timed to finish while the Madison units are still in production, so there's no dead time waiting on site.
  5. Cabinet and worktop installation -- Once the doors arrive, carcasses go up and Madison doors are hung and aligned by hand so the v-groove lines run true across every unit, then your chosen worktop is templated and fitted.
  6. Second fix, commissioning and handover -- Appliances are connected, a Gas Safe engineer commissions the hob or range cooker, everything is tested, and you get a formal sign-off with your written labour and product warranty.

Budgeting for a Madison Kitchen

There's no single published price for a Madison kitchen because it isn't sold as a fixed off-the-shelf package - it's a solid ash shaker door style that gets specified against your own layout, cabinet count and worktop choice, the same way it's supplied by the handful of other UK kitchen manufacturers who also offer a range under the Madison name. As a rough guide, fitted kitchens of this size and standard in the UK typically run from around £5,000 at the smaller end up past £15,000 once you add stone worktops, integrated appliances or a larger footprint. Our kitchens start from around £5,000, and flexible finance is available through an FCA-regulated partner, subject to status, if you'd rather spread the cost. None of that replaces an actual figure for your kitchen - the only way to get one that holds is a free home visit, where we measure your space, go through the Madison colour and worktop options with you, and put together a full written quote with nothing hidden in it.

Madison Against Our Other Shaker-Style Ranges

Range Door style Feel in a room Worth comparing if...
Madison Solid ash frame, painted finish, 3mm v-groove joint Classic, hand-finished shaker You want a traditional look with visible craftsmanship in the joint lines
Jefferson Alternative shaker profile - see the Jefferson range for full detail A different take on shaker proportions and handle styling You like Madison's frame-and-panel look but want a different handle or colour palette

Trade Accountability Behind Every Madison Installation

Every Madison door starts as a flat ash frame before the v-groove is cut and the panel finished, and that's joinery work in the traditional sense - it's why we have City & Guilds trained cabinet makers doing it by hand rather than routing a groove into MDF and painting over the join. The door itself is where a lot of Madison's cost and character sits, so that's where we've put the most experienced hands, with NVQ-qualified plumbers, Part P electricians and Gas Safe engineers bringing the rest of the kitchen up to the same standard once the cabinets are in.

We're also registered with the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses - membership that ties us to ongoing trade standards and a code of conduct, which matters more on a door like Madison's than it would on a flat-pack unit, since a poorly cut v-groove doesn't sand out; it means a genuine remake, not a quick fix. Every job still starts with a written agreement covering exactly what's included and what it costs before a unit is ordered, and finishes with a formal sign-off and a written warranty - 5 years on labour and installation, 2 years on the products themselves. That's backed by a family business that's fitted well past 800 kitchens over more than 20 years, so if you ask what a solid ash door does in a steamy kitchen above a dishwasher, or how it settles into an older Nottinghamshire house with uneven walls, you're getting an answer from people who've actually fitted one there before, not a script.

Madison Fits Across Nottingham, the East Midlands and Wakefield

Nottingham is our base, and most Madison installations happen within the city and its immediate suburbs - Sneinton's mix of terraces and newer infill, Arnold, Beeston and West Bridgford all see a fair share of Madison fits, generally in period or family homes where a painted shaker door suits the existing joinery better than a handleless slab would.

Wollaton is the one area where Madison earns its keep on more than the label "traditional" - close to Wollaton Hall, the frame-and-panel doors have proportions closer to the fielded panelling and picture rails found in the area's Victorian and Edwardian houses than a flat slab door does, and the painted colour range leans toward muted, heritage-friendly tones that sit comfortably against exposed brick or original skirting rather than a stark modern white.

Beyond the city, we fit Madison kitchens across Nottinghamshire - Stapleford, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Mansfield - and into Derbyshire for Heanor, Alfreton, Long Eaton and Derby, generally within a 15-20 mile run from our regional workshop. That radius stretches as far as Chesterfield without difficulty, and we also travel further out to Wakefield for households who've specifically asked for the Madison range rather than settling for a flat-pack version - Sheffield and York fall within the same longer-distance visits. Outside our usual radius, ask first and we'll tell you plainly whether a site visit makes sense for your postcode.

Madison Kitchen Range - Questions We Get Asked

What does the Madison kitchen range actually look like - is it a shaker style?

Yes. Madison is a painted shaker door with a solid ash frame and a 3mm v-groove joint, which is what gives it that slightly recessed, hand-cut line around each panel rather than the flat, printed groove you'd see on a cheaper MDF shaker door.

How much does a Madison kitchen range cost to have fitted in Nottingham?

There's no fixed catalogue price because it's specified to your own layout and worktop choice. Fitted kitchens of this standard generally run from around £5,000 upwards, past £15,000 for a larger kitchen with stone worktops and integrated appliances. A free home visit is the only way to get a figure that actually matches your kitchen.

What colours and finishes is the Madison kitchen range available in?

Madison is offered as a painted door across a wide colour range, alongside oak finish options. We'll bring colour samples to your home visit so you can see them against your own light and cabinetry, rather than judging a shade from a screen.

Is the Madison range made from solid wood or a veneer or laminate?

The door frame is solid ash, which is what allows the v-groove joint detail. This is different from an MDF shaker door with a printed or routed groove, and it's part of why Madison carries a different price point to a laminate equivalent.

Can I get a free quote for a Madison kitchen if I'm in Wakefield rather than Nottingham?

Yes. Nottingham is our base and where most of our work happens, but we do take on Madison installations in Wakefield for homeowners who specifically want this range fitted properly rather than self-assembled. Get in touch and we'll confirm whether a home visit works for your postcode.

Do you supply and fit the Madison range, or just sell the doors and units?

We handle the full job - design, supply and installation, plus coordinating the plumbers, electricians, gas engineer and plasterer a kitchen like this needs. You're not left assembling flat-pack units or sourcing separate trades to finish the job.

Is the solid ash frame on Madison doors more likely to warp than an MDF shaker door in a centrally-heated house?

Being straight about it: solid timber moves more with heat and humidity than MDF does, which is true of any solid wood door, not just Madison's. A well-seasoned frame and a properly applied painted finish keep that movement minimal in normal use, but a door mounted directly above a radiator or dishwasher vent will see more expansion and contraction over time than one elsewhere in the kitchen. We'll flag that during your design visit if your layout puts a Madison door in that kind of position.

Does the 3mm v-groove joint on Madison doors make them harder to keep clean, or let moisture in over time?

The groove itself is painted and sealed as part of the finish, so day-to-day cleaning is no different to a flat shaker door - wipe spills before they sit, and don't leave water pooling in the groove near a sink or hob. Over many years, any painted timber joint can eventually need a touch-up if it's in a high-splash spot, which is a normal part of owning a solid wood kitchen rather than a fault specific to Madison.

Since Madison is a name used by more than one kitchen manufacturer, how do I make sure the range you fit matches what I've seen on another retailer's website?

Fair question, because the name isn't exclusive to us - a few UK suppliers offer their own version of a Madison shaker door. Bring whatever spec or colour reference you've seen to your free home visit and we'll confirm the exact door construction, colour range and joint detail we supply, so there's no ambiguity before you commit.

If a Madison colour or finish gets discontinued in a few years, can I still get matching replacement doors for repairs?

Honestly, we can't guarantee an exact colour match years down the line if the original supplier drops a specific shade - that's a real limitation of any painted range, not just Madison. What helps is keeping a note of the exact paint reference from your original spec sheet, which we provide at handover, so a decorator or joiner has the best chance of matching it closely if a door ever needs replacing.
