Zola Kitchen Range

Zola is the range we point people toward when they want a kitchen that reads as current without going fully handleless - it keeps a visible, simple door profile rather than the flush, minimal edge you'd get with something like our Aldana range. Which one actually suits your kitchen is easier to judge from real door samples held against your own walls and light than from a photo online, and that's what the free home design visit is for.

That visit comes with a full written quotation, not a figure guessed over the phone, and it's how every Zola installation we take on starts - whether that's in Nottingham itself or further out into Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. We design, supply and fit as one family-run team, and in more than 20 years doing that we've fitted Zola and our other ranges into everything from Victorian terraces in the Lace Market, where a run of units might need scribing around walls that are decades off square, to newer apartments where a galley layout has to work around a fixed door swing.

• Free home design visit and a CAD floor-plan showing your own room in the Zola cabinet style
• Made-to-measure Zola cabinetry built and fitted by City & Guilds trained carpenters and cabinet makers
• Choice of worktop to pair with Zola doors - laminate through to granite, quartz, marble or sintered stone such as Dekton, laser-templated and cut in-house
• Plumbing for sinks, taps and integrated appliances carried out by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds certified plumbers
• Electrical work for sockets, under-cabinet lighting and new circuits by Part P approved electricians, with full safety certification
• Gas Safe registered engineers to disconnect, move and recommission a gas hob or range cooker
• Plastering and making good around removed units, extractor ducting and new tiling lines
• Removal and disposal of your old kitchen under our registered waste carrier licence
• A written agreement before work starts and a formal sign-off with installation warranty at the end

• Structural work such as removing a supporting wall - that needs a structural engineer's sign-off, which we don't provide ourselves
• Major appliances aren't included in the base quote unless you've asked us to supply and fit them as part of the package
• Flooring beyond the kitchen's own footprint, or work in other rooms of the house
• Listed building or conservation area consent, where your property needs it - that's your application, though we'll work to whatever it approves
• Moving the kitchen's gas or mains water supply pipework any real distance, which usually costs more than a straightforward reconnection

1. Tell us about the room, not just the range -- A quick call or message covering your kitchen's rough dimensions, which appliances need to stay or go, and any structural question marks - a wall that might come out, a boiler that needs moving. That detail decides whether the first home visit is a straightforward measure-up or one that also needs to factor in extra trades from the start.
2. A designer measures up and brings the range with them -- Someone comes to your house rather than sending you to a showroom, measures the room properly, and brings Zola door and worktop samples so you're looking at the actual finish in your own light. Plumbing, electrical and gas positions get checked at this point too, because moving a sink or hob is priced differently to keeping it where it is.
3. You see the plan before you agree to anything -- A photo-realistic CAD floor plan is built around your actual room, alongside a written quotation that itemises every trade and material rather than a single lump sum. There's no pressure to sign on the visit itself - you're free to take it away and think it over.
4. Strip-out and first fix happen before a single cabinet goes up -- Once you've signed off, your Zola cabinets and any made-to-order doors get ordered while the old kitchen comes out for registered waste disposal. Plumbing and electrical first fix goes in behind the walls next, so sockets and pipework land where the new layout needs them rather than where the old units happened to be.
5. Worktop, finishing trades, and a walkthrough handover -- Once cabinets are hung, the worktop gets laser-templated, then cut and fitted - usually the last major physical change to the room. Plastering, tiling and decorating finish everything off, and we walk through the completed kitchen with you before handing over a written installation warranty.

Kitchens through us start from around £5,000, and a Zola kitchen sits within that range depending on size and specification - but that figure covers a modest galley kitchen with a straightforward laminate worktop, not a like-for-like guide to every job. The things that move the price are the same for Zola as for any of our ranges: how many linear metres of cabinetry you need, whether doors are in-stock or made-to-order (non-standard colours and sizes cost more and take longer), what worktop you pair it with (laminate is the budget end, with granite, quartz, marble and sintered surfaces like Dekton costing progressively more per metre once laser templating and stonemason fitting are factored in), and how much plumbing, electrical and gas work is involved in moving appliances rather than keeping them where they are.

We offer flexible finance through an FCA-regulated partner, subject to status, if you'd rather spread the cost. What we won't do is give you a number over the phone and hold you to it - a proper quote needs someone in your kitchen with a tape measure, because two rooms of the same square footage can price very differently depending on wall condition, existing pipework and how much of the old kitchen needs stripping out first. The free home visit is where that number gets pinned down in writing, and there's no obligation to go ahead once you've seen it.

Zola cabinets are built and hung by City & Guilds trained carpenters and cabinet makers, working from the same CAD floor plan your designer drew up with you rather than a generic factory spec. Because we design, supply and fit in-house, the person who shows you door samples at the free visit is accountable for how straight those doors hang three months later - there's no separate joinery subcontractor to chase up if something needs adjusting.

Everything else a Zola fit touches goes through the same joined-up setup: sinks, taps and integrated appliances by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds certified plumbers, sockets and lighting by Part P approved electricians with full safety certification, a gas hob disconnected and recommissioned by Gas Safe registered engineers, and plastering backed by four decades of on-site experience for the walls a strip-out always disturbs. It's the reason a Zola installation runs as one continuous job rather than a relay race between tradespeople who've never met.

That kind of coordination comes from being family-run rather than a franchise counter - the same people have been designing and fitting kitchens across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years, with more than 800 completed for local households, several of them the kind of Lace Market terrace where no wall in the kitchen is actually square. We're proud members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses, every finished kitchen gets a formal sign-off, and cabinetry work carries the same 5-year guarantee on labour and installation, and 2-year guarantee on products, as everything else we fit.

Nottingham is home turf - we work out of a dedicated regional workshop and most weeks have a Zola kitchen going in somewhere between the city centre and the surrounding suburbs. In Wollaton, that often means designing around the kind of classic-meets-contemporary look that suits the area near Wollaton Hall; in West Bridgford and along the river toward Trent Bridge, delivery access needs more planning if you're on a terraced street with no drive. Beeston and the stretch of the city served by the NET tram line see a steady run of installs too, and older properties in Sneinton and the Lace Market sometimes come with the sloping floors and uneven walls you'd expect from housing stock this close to the Castle and the sandstone caves underneath the city - Zola's cabinets get scribed and packed out to match rather than assuming every wall is square.

Further out, we cover Arnold and the rest of Greater Nottingham, then into Nottinghamshire towns including Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and across into Derbyshire for Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor. Chesterfield sits close to the edge of our usual 15-20 mile working radius. Wakefield, Sheffield and York are further out again - we do take on jobs that way, but scheduling a design visit and site fit needs a bit more notice than a job five miles from the workshop, so it's worth flagging your location when you first get in touch.

Made-to-order doors and stone worktops both carry their own lead times, so the earlier your free design visit and written quote are booked in, the more say you have over your actual install date rather than fitting around whatever slot is left. There's no cost and no obligation to go ahead once you've seen the numbers - get in touch and we'll get a designer out to measure up your kitchen and talk you through the Zola range properly.
