Custom Cabinets in Bath
Fitted cabinetry for the rooms outside the bedroom — alcove units either side of a chimney breast, media walls, bookcases, utility and living-room storage. Where fitted wardrobes solve bedroom storage, this is the same made-to-measure approach applied to the rest of the house. Every unit is built to the exact space, painted or finished to match existing joinery where needed. Available across Bath, Bristol and Keynsham — see the areas covered for specific neighbourhoods.

About custom cabinets in Bath
What custom cabinets typically look like in Bath
Bath custom cabinet jobs typically work within the Bath World Heritage Site and Bath Conservation Area, but most interior finish work doesn't need a planning application. Bath properties are dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraces with chimney breasts and alcoves either side — perfect for alcove cabinetry and media walls. Tom builds alcove units either side of a chimney breast, full-width media walls, bookcases to fill bay windows, and utility storage for the wider Georgian villas.
Honest note: The descriptions below are generalisations — what's typical or commonly found across Bath's neighbourhoods. Every property is different, so Tom will always confirm what's actually there on the site visit before quoting.
Planning & permissions
The planning context in Bath
Most Bath custom cabinet jobs don't need a planning application — interior finish work isn't regulated. The exceptions are Listed Building Consent for any change to original features of a Grade II listed property (Bath has many listed properties in Bathwick, Widcombe, Walcot and central Bath). Tom will tell you what's needed on the site visit — most Bath jobs avoid the planning conversation entirely by working within the existing property.
Common cabinet patterns in Bath
Common Bath custom cabinet patterns: alcove units either side of a chimney breast (typically 30-50cm deep, full-height to ceiling, MDF painted or solid timber), full-width media walls (typically 2-3m wide, with cable management and storage), bookcases to fill bay windows (typically 2-3m wide x 2.4m tall), utility and boot room storage for the wider Georgian villas (typically floor-to-ceiling units with bench seating). Most Bath jobs use MDF painted (matches Victorian moulded style, mid-range price) or solid timber (premium feel, more authentic). Painted finishes typically match Farrow & Ball colours or the existing room palette. Most Bath clients do one or two rooms at a time (one alcove unit + one media wall, or two bookcases).

Our step by step process
Our step by step process
Every job follows the same six stages. Some are quicker, some are slower — but the order and what to expect at each point is fixed, so you're never wondering what's happening.
- 01
Site visit and design
We measure the exact space — including any uneven walls or period skirting and coving — and talk through what you want it to do.
- 02
Material and finish
Painted MDF, real wood veneer, or a finish matched to existing joinery in the room. We talk through the trade-offs at this stage.
- 03
Written quote
Fixed-price quote with a realistic lead time. Most cabinetry is made off-site then installed in a day or two.
- 04
Installation
Cabinets fixed square and level, doors and internals fitted, final adjustments and touch-ups on site.
