Period Properties

Heritage homes,
modern luxury.

Manchester's Victorian and Edwardian homes deserve kitchens that honour their heritage. We specialise in sensitive renovations that blend period character with contemporary luxury and functionality.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with listed buildings?

Yes. We have experience working with Grade II listed properties and understand the requirements around listed building consent. We'll work with your conservation officer to ensure all designs are compliant.

Can you match original period features?

Absolutely. From Victorian cornicing to Edwardian panelling, we design kitchens that complement your home's original character — whether you want a sympathetic heritage look or a striking contemporary contrast.

What if my period property has structural limitations?

Most period homes have load-bearing walls, uneven floors, or non-standard dimensions. We measure everything precisely and design to accommodate these constraints — it's what makes the result truly bespoke.

Do you handle building work like removing walls?

We manage the complete process, including structural work. If walls need removing or modifying, we'll coordinate with structural engineers and builders to deliver a seamless result.
