Shaker Kitchen with Oak Worktops in Southville

Southville, Bristol (BS3)

Customer Objective

Install a classic shaker-style kitchen in a Southville home, combining cream cabinetry with warm oak worktops and a soft country-inspired colour scheme.

Scope of Work

  • Installation of cream shaker-style base and wall units
  • Fitting and sealing of solid oak worktops
  • Installation of square ceramic tile splashback
  • Fitting of stainless steel chimney extractor hood
  • Installation of 5-burner gas hob
  • Sink and tap installation with plumbing connection
  • Fitting of ceiling spotlight fixtures

Challenges

Every kitchen installation presents its own set of practical challenges. For this project in Southville, the key considerations were:

  • Achieving a clean finish on the oak worktop edges, particularly around the sink area and any peninsula or breakfast bar section
  • Ensuring the square ceramic tiles were laid with consistent grout lines across all splashback areas
  • Integrating a 5-burner gas hob into the oak worktop with proper cutout and sealing

How We Handled It

Shaker doors were aligned individually, with cup-pull handles positioned consistently across all drawers and doors

Oak worktops were sealed with oil, with extra attention to the hob cutout and sink edges

The sage green wall colour was coordinated with the cream cabinetry and beige tiles to create a cohesive country-inspired palette

Materials Used

  • Cream shaker-style cabinetry with dark bronze cup-pull handles
  • Solid oak worktops (butcher block style)
  • Square ceramic tiles in beige/cream tones
  • Stainless steel chimney extractor
  • 5-burner gas hob
