Free Measuring Service

As our kitchens are bespoke it is essential our team measures your space. Many companies charge for their measuring service however ours is free and no obligation. We are proud of our product and prices and don’t employ pushy sales techniques.


Hand Drawings

Each design we produce is traditionally hand drawn and many of our customers like to hang them in their new Annex kitchen.


Traditionally Handmade from Premium Materials

Using traditional techniques each of our kitchen cupboards are meticulously handmade from the finest materials. Our carcasses are made from Solid (sustainable) Redwood and our door frames/drawer fronts from premium grade Tulipwood. Our cabinets are then knitted together using mortise & tenon and dovetail joints. German engineered soft closing runners are fitted to all our drawers as standard and our doors are an unrivaled 26mm thick.

Hand-painted in Any colour

In this age of convenience many practices are being fazed out and with this, hand painting is becoming more of a rarity. Here at The Annex we always hand paint, the main reason for this is simple. Kitchens are one of the most frequently used rooms in the house, inevitably after a couple of years scratches and knocks will appear. With a hand painted kitchen this is easy fix. All that needs to be done is to gently sand the area and reapply a small amount of paint from the tin we provide. This fixes any imperfections, we even have customers after 5-10 repainting and changing their handles to produce a brand new design.

Our hand-painting service takes around two weeks as our professional team apply 4 coats. The paint we use is an organic, eco friendly, water based paint which contains enamel, once dry this hardens and becomes a breathable, resilient surface which only requires a gentle wipe to clean. We are also able to mix you any colour so just find your perfect shade and we will do the rest.
