Kitchen Fitters Ripley

Kitchen fitting across Ripley

Ripley is the base of Amber Valley Borough Council, which has its headquarters in the town hall on the Market Place, opened in 1881. The town has held a market since Henry III granted a charter in 1251, and its later growth came from coal and iron. The Butterley Company, formed in 1790 by Benjamin Outram and Francis Beresford, made the arched roof of St Pancras station, and collieries such as Ormonde worked until 1970. The A610 skirts the town on a bypass built in the early 1980s and meets the A38 at the Hartshay Interchange.

We cover the town and the villages that ring it: Marehay, Waingroves, Codnor, Pentrich, Butterley and Lower Hartshay. If you live near the Midland Railway at Butterley or out towards Codnor Park, you are well within our usual travel.

Matching the layout to the house

Census figures for the Ripley ward show a fairly even split between detached houses, semis and terraces, with a smaller share of flats. That mix means there is no single Ripley kitchen, and the right plan depends on what you are starting with.

In a terraced house the kitchen is often a narrow room at the back. A single run with tall units at one end can free floor space, while a galley with units on both sides needs at least a metre or so between the fronts to open a dishwasher and stand at the hob. Many owners look at taking out the wall into the back room to make a kitchen-diner, which usually means a steel or timber beam and a building regulations application.

Semis tend to suit an L-shaped plan with space for a small table or a peninsula. In a detached house there is often room for an island, but it needs power and sometimes a sink or hob, so the floor may have to come up for cables or a waste pipe before the units go in. We plan those runs at the survey so nothing is discovered halfway through.

One team from first measure to final snag

Liam Taylor started Derbyshire Specialists Group after more than ten years working in property and joinery, and Derbyshire Joinery Specialists is its joinery arm. Our joiners fit the units, worktops and appliances; partner electricians, plumbers and tilers from the group come in for their stages, so you deal with one quote and one person rather than lining up separate firms yourself.

If you have already ordered from Howdens, Wren, Magnet, IKEA, B&Q, Wickes or an independent showroom, we will fit what you have bought. We can also supply the whole kitchen. For worktops we fit laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and solid oak, walnut or iroko, and we will tell you honestly which suits a busy family kitchen and which needs more care.
