“Dave was a real find. … He hand built me a beautiful bespoke kitchen.”
Hand-built oak kitchen
Solid oak kitchen · acrylic worktops · oak herringbone flooring · Farrow & Ball paint
Selworthy Road · Upper Knowle, Bristol
A hand-built solid oak kitchen at Selworthy Road, Upper Knowle, with acrylic worktops and solid oak herringbone flooring installed using a glue-down method. The design began at the Farrow & Ball store, choosing three colours for the new kitchen: Babouche, Hague Blue and Dimpse. They bring together the pale cabinetry, dark island and yellow cupboard interior. This work formed part of a wider Victorian house refurbishment and wraparound extension, incorporating 13 steel sections to form a canopy. An energy-efficiency upgrade improved the EPC rating from D to A, with an air-source heat pump, solar panels and improved insulation.

House refurbishment, new bathroom & extension roof
Bedroom-to-bathroom conversion · new extension roof · structural alterations · decoration throughout
Sandy Park · Bristol
A wider refurbishment at Sandy Park, including converting an upstairs bedroom into a bathroom and installing a new roof on the kitchen extension. I also created the kitchen space through technical structural alterations to a rear wall containing a chimney breast, and decorated throughout the property.
- Upstairs bedroom converted into a bathroom
- New roof on the kitchen extension
- Technical structural alterations around a chimney breast
- Internal decoration throughout
Explore the refurbishment
This refurbishment combined a new upstairs bathroom, a new kitchen-extension roof and technical structural work to create the kitchen space.
- The brief
- Reconfigure the living space, create an upstairs bathroom from a bedroom, renew the kitchen-extension roof and decorate throughout.
- The technical challenge
- A chimney breast sat within the rear wall, making the work to form the opening more involved than a straightforward partition alteration.
- My work
- I converted the upstairs bedroom into a bathroom, installed a new roof on the kitchen extension, formed the kitchen opening and decorated throughout the property.
- The finished space
- The photographs show the opening between the kitchen and dining space and the new upstairs bathroom, including its green-and-cream tiling and brass-coloured fittings.
