FAQs
Why the name bread.?
When we think about our fundamental beliefs and what matters most to us, we can't help but be reminded of the simple yet timeless loaf of bread. It's been a staple of human life for thousands of years, transcending social classes and bringing people together. Just like how bread is for everyone, our values and ultimately our designs are inclusive and universal. In fact, we love baking bread ourselves, and nothing beats the smell of a freshly-baked sourdough loaf in our cozy kitchen.
I’m looking for a style that doesn’t appear on your website, can you help?
Absolutely! We're passionate about discovering and experimenting with new materials, and we're fortunate to have a talented network of artisans to collaborate with. As a company that values design and innovation, we're able to explore a wide range of options with our suppliers. Of course, we understand the importance of durability and longevity, especially when it comes to materials used in the kitchen. That's why we conduct extensive testing to ensure that our chosen materials can withstand the rigours of everyday use and stand the test of time.
Can I use my own installer?
Of course! We understand that you may have a trusted installer who you prefer to work with, and we're happy to accommodate that. We can collaborate with your installer to make sure that everything is installed to our high standards. Our team is always available to answer any questions or provide any additional support that your installer may need throughout the process.
What Services do you offer?
We offer a range of services to help you create your dream home. Our bespoke design service is tailored to your unique needs and preferences for your kitchen, wardrobe, utility room, or boot room. We provide full design documents, and a direct connection with Matts ensures a personalised experience.
We take care of all the practical details with our site management service, including organising tradespeople, handling plumbing and electrical adjustments, and coordinating removal of old fixtures. Our team of experts provides hassle-free and expert installation, taking pride in their workmanship and attention to detail.
Our goal is to make your home renovation experience as smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible.
What are your typical lead times?
We take a personalised approach to our design process, starting with an initial design consultation to discuss your wants and needs. Within two weeks, we'll present you with a detailed design pack that includes layout options and an estimate. However, the length of the design stage can vary depending on a number of factors, including any site works required and the time it takes to finalise the design decisions.
Once you've signed off on the proposal, we'll begin the planning and manufacturing stage, which typically takes 8-10 weeks.
During the installation stage, we'll typically have your new cabinets fitted within a week. We'll then move on to worktop templating, followed by a worktop installation two weeks later. If needed, we can provide temporary worktops during this time so that you can continue to use your kitchen. We recommend allowing four weeks for the entire installation process, so that everything is completed to our high standards and you can start enjoying your new kitchen.
What is the typical cost for your cabinetry?
We understand that budget is an important consideration for any home renovation project. Our pricing for kitchens, wardrobes, utility rooms, and boot rooms depends on factors such as size and materials. For example, a medium-sized painted shaker kitchen typically costs around £25,000-£30,000, and a painted double shaker wardrobe starts at around £3,000 including installation.
We offer a range of materials and finishes to suit your style and budget, and we can work with you to create a design that fits your needs. Our goal is to create beautiful, functional spaces that enhance your home and improve your daily life. We're committed to delivering exceptional value and service, and we're always happy to discuss pricing and options with you.
