What actually matters in a kitchen

Every Croft kitchen project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:

  • Grease and steam near the hob
  • Clearance around a monobloc tap
  • Operation when the sink is full
  • Reveal depth on butler-window openings

Nothing fabric within 300mm of a gas hob. Faux-wood or PVC only over food-prep zones.

Our default kitchen specification

Across Croft kitchens we mostly fit:

  • Waterproof roller
  • Faux-wood venetian
  • Perfect-fit cellular (bifold-adjacent kitchens)

Chain-drop from the top corner keeps the operator away from a full sink.

Faux-wood venetian in a mid-tone breaks up an all-white kitchen without dominating it.

Specification evidence

What we check before pricing a WA3 7 project

Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Croft project sits around £2,000 – £4,800, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What does a Croft kitchen blind project usually cost?

£95–£220 per kitchen window. Whole-room Croft projects sit inside the £2,000 – £4,800 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Do you fit kitchen blinds in Croft?

Yes — WA3 7 are on our regular survey run. 15 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Croft.

Which blinds suit a village cottage kitchen?

Waterproof roller is the usual default. Chain-drop from the top corner keeps the operator away from a full sink.

Will the shutter clog with cooking grease?

ABS louvres wipe clean with a soapy microfibre. Painted hardwood is fine outside the direct hob splash zone — the same paint spec used on kitchen cabinetry. In Croft, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.

What about the window over the sink?

Café-style keeps sink splash off, or a full-height that opens both sides for reaching through to clean. In Croft, that's the answer for the village cottages and 1970s detached we survey most weeks.
