Not every kitchen range is built to the room it goes into - Tavola is. Every cabinet carcass and door front in this range is sized and specified during a design consultation rather than picked from a set of fixed dimensions, so what goes on your wall is built around your actual room rather than the nearest standard-width alternative, with fewer filler panels papering over an awkward run. We design and fit Tavola kitchens for homeowners across Nottingham, out through Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and for the right project as far as Wakefield - this page covers what's actually included, what it tends to cost, and how the job runs from a first phone call through to sign-off. If a different door language ends up suiting you better once you've seen samples, our Zola kitchen range goes through the same made-to-measure process, and we're happy to bring both along to a home visit so you can compare them side by side.As with every kitchen we design, the Tavola name covers the cabinet carcass and door front; what goes inside and on top - worktop material, appliances, tiling, decorating - gets specified separately during the same consultation, so your written quotation is priced against the actual kitchen you'll end up with, not a starting-from figure that grows once the joiners are on site.
Everything Included in a Tavola Installation, Trade by Trade
- Free home consultation and a photo-realistic CAD layout of your specific Tavola design before you commit to anything
- Made-to-measure cabinet carcasses and Tavola door fronts, fitted by City & Guilds trained carpenters and cabinet makers
- Removal and disposal of your old kitchen under our registered waste carrier licence
- Plumbing for sinks, taps and integrated appliances by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds certified plumbers
- Electrical first and second fix for sockets, lighting and appliance circuits by Part P approved installers, with safety certification issued on completion
- Gas Safe registered connection and commissioning of gas hobs and ranges where one is being fitted
- Plastering and making good of any walls disturbed during first fix
- Worktop templating and fitting, matched to the material you choose (see pricing below)
- A written, itemised quotation before work starts and a formal sign-off with installation warranty once finished
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Structural building work - knocking through walls, removing chimney breasts, extensions - sits outside the standard Tavola package and gets quoted separately
- Flooring supply and fitting isn't included as standard, though we'll coordinate timing with your flooring contractor so it doesn't hold the kitchen fit up
- Appliances themselves (ovens, hobs, fridges, dishwashers) aren't in the base price unless specified in your written quotation - we'll fit what you supply, or source them for you if asked
- Planning permission or building regulations applications for any structural changes
- Pre-existing electrical or plumbing faults found once the old units come out - these get flagged and costed with you before we touch them, never added to the bill afterwards without agreement
From First Measure-Up to Handover: How a Tavola Fit Runs
- Free home visit: We come to you, measure the space properly, talk through how you actually use the kitchen day to day, and show you Tavola door and worktop samples in your own light rather than under showroom spotlights.
- CAD design and written quotation: You get a photo-realistic layout of your specific room built in our interactive floor-planning software, alongside a full written quotation covering every trade involved - no hidden extras added later.
- Sign-off and scheduling: Once the design's right, we agree a written specification and a start date, then order the Tavola cabinetry and your chosen worktop material, which is often the longest lead-time item.
- Strip-out and first fix: Old units come out and go for licensed disposal, then plumbers and Part P electricians run the pipework and cabling behind the new layout before a single Tavola cabinet goes in.
- Installation and second fix: Cabinet makers fit and level the Tavola carcasses and doors, stonemasons template and fit the worktop, and plasterers make good any disturbed walls, with plumbing, electrics and gas connected and tested.
- Final sign-off: We walk the finished kitchen through with you, issue your written installation warranty, and hand over the certification for the gas, electrical and plumbing work that was carried out.
Budgeting for a Made-to-Measure Tavola Kitchen
Kitchens across our range, Tavola included, start from around £5,000 for a straightforward layout in a more economical door finish with a laminate worktop. A bigger galley or open-plan Tavola kitchen with stone or engineered worktops, integrated appliances and bespoke tall storage typically lands in the £6,000-£15,000+ bracket, which is broadly in line with UK kitchen supply-and-install benchmarks reported by trade sites like Checkatrade and MyBuilder in 2026. If you're only replacing worktops within an existing Tavola layout, fitting alone generally runs £300-£1,000 depending on material and run length - a laminate worktop sits at the lower end, while a book-matched marble slab or a large sintered surface such as Dekton pushes toward the top. None of these figures are ones we'd put in writing against your kitchen without seeing it first: wall lines in older Nottingham terraces are rarely square, existing pipework and
wiring vary hugely between a 1930s semi and a new-build apartment, and the real number only firms up once we've measured your room and you've confirmed material choices. That's the reason the free home visit leads to a full written quotation rather than a phone estimate, and why flexible finance through our FCA-regulated partner is available if you'd rather spread the cost, subject to status.
Tavola Range vs Flat-Pack and Standard Showroom Kitchens
| Tavola Range (made to measure) | Flat-pack / self-assembly | Typical national showroom kitchen | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet sizing | Built to your exact wall dimensions | Fixed modular sizes, filler panels usually needed | Semi-custom, limited size options |
| Trades involved | Joiners, plumbers, electricians, gas engineers and plasterers coordinated as one project | Usually just you, or one fitter for cabinets only | Fitting is subcontracted; other trades often booked separately by you |
| Design before commitment | Free CAD and interactive floor plan of your actual room | Online planner only, no home visit | Showroom CAD, but delivery and fitting are separate contracts |
| Guarantee | 5 years on labour and installation, 2 years on products | Manufacturer's product warranty only, no fitting cover | Varies by branch and whichever subcontractor is booked |
| Old kitchen removal | Included, under a registered waste carrier licence | Your responsibility | Sometimes a chargeable extra |
Why Local Homeowners Bring Us In for a Tavola Fit
Tavola is a bespoke range, which means the design stage carries more weight than it does with an off-the-shelf kitchen - you're deciding on carcass depth, door width and storage configuration, not just colour. We use CAD and interactive floor-planning software to show you a photo-realistic view of that specific layout before anything is ordered, so you're approving a picture of your own kitchen rather than a catalogue image. The people building it are trade-qualified rather than assembly-line fitters: City & Guilds trained cabinet makers cut and fit the carcasses and doors, NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds plumbers handle sink and appliance connections, Part P approved electricians wire it, and Gas Safe registered engineers connect any gas hob. We're a family business - over 20 years designing and fitting kitchens across Nottingham and the East Midlands, 800+ completed
- so the person measuring your kitchen at the design stage is the same firm signing it off at the end, not a subcontractor booked through a call centre. We won't pretend we're the cheapest Tavola quote you'll get; we don't swap in a thinner worktop or a cheaper hinge to shave money off, because that kind of shortcut tends to show up in five years rather than fifteen. Every job is agreed in writing before work starts, with no hidden fees, and finishes with a formal sign-off and written installation warranty - and we're members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses.
Where We Fit the Tavola Range
Most Tavola installations we quote are within Nottingham itself or a short drive out to West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Arnold and Sneinton, all places our fitters know well enough to plan parking and delivery access before the strip-out van turns up. Nottinghamshire towns like Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, plus Derbyshire towns such as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, make up the rest of our regular work, and that reach extends toward Chesterfield and the Derbyshire border - call it fifteen to twenty miles from the workshop before travel time starts factoring into scheduling. Beyond that radius we'll still take on the right Tavola project as far as Wakefield, though it helps to flag that early on the phone so delivery of cabinetry and stone worktops can be planned properly rather than sprung on us mid-job. Period terraces around the Lace Market tend to
have floors that are noticeably out of level, which changes how a made-to-measure carcass gets packed and scribed during fitting - something we check for at the measuring stage rather than on install day - and homes along the NET tram corridor through Beeston and Clifton are ones we fit in regularly enough that access for a full strip-out rarely causes problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What style is the Tavola kitchen range, and is it available handleless?
Tavola sits within our made-to-measure cabinetry collection, which spans everything from traditional hand-finished Shaker styling through to ultra-modern handleless spaces, so the honest answer is that the style isn't fixed - it's specified with you at the design consultation using door and handle samples. If handleless is the look you want, it can be built into a Tavola specification; if you'd rather see a more traditional profile first, we'll bring both to the home visit so you're comparing them in your own kitchen rather than guessing from a brochure photo.
How much does a Tavola range kitchen cost in Nottingham and the surrounding area?
Kitchens including Tavola start from around £5,000 for a simpler layout, with a fuller specification - stone or engineered worktops, integrated appliances, bespoke tall storage - typically running £6,000-£15,000+, which is in line with general UK kitchen supply-and-install benchmarks. Worktop fitting alone within an existing layout tends to run £300-£1,000 depending on material. These are indicative figures rather than a quote; the real number depends on your room, your material choices, and what the strip-out reveals, which is why we price it properly after a free home visit.
What door material and finishes are used in the Tavola range?
Because every Tavola kitchen is made to measure, door material and finish are confirmed at the design consultation rather than fixed to one option - we work in painted timber, foil-wrapped and lacquered finishes depending on budget and the look you're after, and our in-house architectural coating and respraying service can colour-match to premium palettes such as Little Greene or Farrow & Ball. We'll bring physical samples to the home visit so you're choosing by touch and daylight, not a screen render.
What worktop options suit the Tavola kitchen range?
Most materials we work with suit a Tavola layout: granite, high-character Italian marble, engineered quartz, and ultra-tough sintered surfaces like Corian and Dekton. All of it is laser-templated and cut in-house, then jointed on site by our own stonemasons rather than a subcontracted worktop firm, which keeps the tolerances tight against a made-to-measure cabinet run.
Does the Tavola range include matching tall larder units and internal storage?
Yes - because Tavola is bespoke joinery rather than a fixed modular range, tall larder units, corner storage solutions and internal pull-out systems can all be built to match the door front and specified to fit your actual kitchen dimensions, rather than being limited to a handful of stock sizes.
How long does installation of a Tavola range kitchen take?
It varies with scope rather than being a fixed figure - a straightforward single-kitchen strip-out and refit often runs one to three weeks once work starts on site, though stone worktops need templating after the cabinets go in, which can add time to that stage specifically. We'll give you a realistic timeline once the design and materials are confirmed, not a generic estimate before we've seen the room.
Do you deliver and fit the Tavola range across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and out towards Wakefield?
Yes. Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are our core area, alongside Derbyshire towns like Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, with our working radius extending to Chesterfield and, for the right project, out to Wakefield. The further from Nottingham a job sits, the more travel and delivery logistics factor into scheduling, so let us know roughly where you're based on the first call and we'll plan the home visit around it.
Is the Tavola range's finish resistant to steam damage in older Nottingham terraces?
It depends on the finish and, honestly, on the kitchen's ventilation more than the cabinetry itself - poorly extracted cooking in a tightly sealed period terrace will test any lacquered timber finish over time, whereas foil-wrapped doors, laminate and sintered stone worktops tolerate steam and condensation better. We'll flag extraction and ventilation at the design stage, particularly in older properties with less natural airflow, and can steer you toward finish combinations that hold up better if steam is a genuine concern in your kitchen.
Can Tavola range units be adapted with accessible or lower-height worktops?
Yes - it isn't a separate accessibility product we advertise, but because every Tavola kitchen is made to measure rather than built to stock sizes, worktop heights, knee clearances under sinks and hobs, and reachable storage can all be specified to suit a wheelchair user or anyone who needs a lower working height. Raise it explicitly at the home visit so it's designed in from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.
Book Your Free Tavola Range Consultation
Cabinet manufacture and stone worktop templating both carry their own lead times once a design is signed off, so the earlier you get a free measure-up in the diary, the sooner we can give you a realistic completion date rather than an optimistic one. There's no obligation attached to the home visit or the written quotation that follows it - you'll simply know exactly what a Tavola kitchen looks like in your own room, and what it costs, before you decide anything.
