What actually matters in a kitchen

Every Alderley Edge 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

ABS over the sink and hob (grease-tolerant, wipe-clean). Painted hardwood elsewhere for warmth against timber worktops.

What we usually specify

Across Alderley Edge kitchens we mostly fit:

  • Café-style full window
  • Full-height with wide louvres
  • Waterproof ABS over sink

Café-style leaves the top of the window clear for pendant lighting and cooker-hood clearance.

89mm or 114mm louvres suit larger kitchen openings visually.

Real Alderley Edge kitchen briefs

Families in mid-refurb kitchens; anyone tired of grease-stained fabric blinds over a hob.

  • A galley kitchen with the sink under the only window.
  • An open-plan kitchen-diner where the treatment needs to work across both zones.
  • A rear kitchen extension with roof-lights and a low window over a peninsula.

In Alderley Edge, that's usually a large detached or a Edwardian villa.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

Which shutters suit a large detached kitchen?

Café-style full window is the usual default. Café-style leaves the top of the window clear for pendant lighting and cooker-hood clearance.

What does a Alderley Edge kitchen shutter project usually cost?

£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Alderley Edge projects sit inside the £4,500 – £15,000 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Do you fit kitchen shutters in Alderley Edge?

Yes — SK9 7 are on our regular survey run. 30 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Alderley Edge.

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 Alderley Edge, that's the answer for the large detacheds and Edwardian villa we survey most weeks.

Can I fit shutters behind a tall monobloc tap?

Yes — reveal-fit puts the shutter inside the recess, behind the tap. We measure the tap swing on survey day. In Alderley Edge, that's the answer for the large detacheds and Edwardian villa we survey most weeks.
