Kitchen from local cabinet company

[alanj]

Must be an opportunity for someone there then . I had some from Kesseller but they're down near Derby and won't deliver as far as Newcastle

If you find anybody local let me know

I thought Kesseler delivered nationwide? Don't Kesseler do completes rather than just doors or carcases?

Also aren't Kesseler a hybrid construction system different to everybody else? I thought their founder was from an engineering background and designed a system of cabinet construction purely because he was dissatisfied with the kitchen he bought 20 odd years ago... or did I buy in to the marketing hype they put out?

To me Kesseler have been the closest UK manufacturer to offer what your average German supplier does. OK maybe not quite as customisable in terms of door finishes, but along the same business model.

They do their own range but I bought cabinets only as the doors were from TKC.
They are CNC manufactured so that the top and bottoms of the units have a tongue that fits into a groove on the sides ie. a housing joint. The back is fitted in the same way . They refer to it as mortice and tenon construction and say they have a patent on it.
I don't quite know how that works as housing joints predate the pharoes .
At the time I bought they didn't deliver much further than Weatherby , so too far for me.
The only downside I found was that the centre posts in the wall cabs had two holes drilled right through the base for dowells which would be visible if not using light pelmet

On the subject of cab suppliers up there. I know M Howe from here used a firm right next door to PWS, just went on a little walk round street view to get the name and his van was parked outside

Not sure on the quality but worth a call I suppose?

I used to buy bedroom cabinets from Frontline years ago!!!

Never had any problems with them, good service & prices back then

I think its free delivery over £500 form frontline, they do all gloss and plain mfc in 2mm edging.

Its blum furniture with them also
