Reviews we don't write ourselves.
The 3D render matched the finished kitchen almost exactly — no surprises on colour or scale.
One fitting team, start to finish. No mystery subcontractor turning up on a random Tuesday.
Worktop template and fit were both done by the same firm — nobody to blame each other when the seam needed adjusting.
A render before a decision
Every kitchen is designed in 3D first — you see the layout, the finishes and the lighting before a single cabinet is ordered.
One fitting team, not a rotation
The same joiner and electrician on your job from strip-out to snagging — never a different face each week.
Stone cut under our own roof
Worktops are templated and cut in our own workshop, not outsourced to a stone merchant we don't control the schedule of.
Fixed price after design sign-off
Once the design's approved, the price is fixed — no "while we're in there" additions creeping onto the final invoice.
Three kitchens, three very different briefs.
The Island Rebuild
A galley kitchen opened into the dining room, built around a single 3.2m island in riven slate and smoked oak.
The Period Refit
A Georgian townhouse kitchen, cabinetry designed to sit honestly alongside the original cornicing rather than fight it.
The Full Strip-Out
Complete rewire and replumb behind a full bespoke fit — nothing from the original kitchen kept except the walls.
Four people, every kitchen.
Forge & Slate is deliberately small — the same four people design, fit and finish every job, rather than a rotating crew.
