Handmade kitchens in Shoreham-by-Sea

Fifteen minutes from the bench. Victorian terraces in the old town, 1930s semis along the Adur, and riverside homes that need to take the weather seriously.

Bespoke kitchens for Shoreham-by-Sea homes

Shoreham is the closest town to the workshop after Worthing itself, which makes it easy to serve properly — surveys at short notice, fitting without travel eating into the day, and quick return visits when something needs adjusting.

The housing is a good mix. The old town around the High Street and East Street has narrow Victorian terraces with small rear kitchens and the usual crooked floors. Buckingham Park and the streets running north hold a large stock of 1930s semis, most with an original kitchen that is too small and a dining room next door that solves the problem. Along the Adur and out towards the beach, there are riverside and near-seafront properties where damp and salt air are genuine design considerations rather than theoretical ones.

Shoreham also has the county's most distinctive homes: the houseboats on the Adur. They are not conventional joinery projects, but the underlying skills — building to a shape that is not square, using every millimetre, keeping weight sensible — are exactly the same, and Ollie is happy to talk about anything unusual.

Southwick and Lancing either side are covered on the same basis, and both are well within easy reach.

Local housing

What we typically work on in Shoreham-by-Sea

Old town terraces

High Street and East Street. Small rear kitchens, uneven floors, and access that needs checking before design.

1930s semis

Buckingham Park and north Shoreham. Typically opened through into the dining room for a single working space.

Riverside & beach homes

Adur frontage and Shoreham Beach. Damp and salt air taken seriously in the specification.

Southwick & Lancing

Post-war and Victorian mixed stock, plus a lot of kitchens that are one door-change away from being good again.

Why local matters

The person who makes it fits it

Every kitchen is cut and assembled on one bench in Worthing and installed by the same pair of hands. No subcontracted fitters, no franchise, no handover between a designer who sold it and a fitter who has never seen the drawings.

Local answers

Questions from Shoreham-by-Sea clients

Usually within a few days. It is a fifteen-minute run from the Worthing workshop, so fitting a survey visit into the diary is straightforward, including evenings if that suits you better.

It changes the specification rather than the design. Moisture-resistant board throughout, every cut edge sealed, oil-based sealer inside the carcasses, and a plinth detail that lets air move rather than trapping moisture underneath. Worth also checking the underlying cause before the new kitchen goes in.

Yes, both, and Sompting and Steyning too. Everything between Worthing and Brighton is comfortably within normal working range.
