What actually matters in a kitchen
Every Altrincham 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

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Which shutters suit a Victorian villa 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.
Do you fit kitchen shutters in Altrincham?
Yes — WA14, WA15 are on our regular survey run. 18 min from Stockton Heath, and kitchens are one of the most-quoted rooms across Altrincham.
What does a Altrincham kitchen shutter project usually cost?
£420–£680 per kitchen window. Whole-room Altrincham projects sit inside the £2,500 – £7,500 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
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 Altrincham, that's the answer for the Victorian villas and Edwardian semi 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 Altrincham, that's the answer for the Victorian villas and Edwardian semi we survey most weeks.
