1813 furniture & kitchens

After doing the usual enquiries with two local companies, my wife decided to give 1813 a call. Well, thankfully she did, as Robin came round and did a measure up. We had a rough idea of what we wanted and with a few tweaks and suggestions by Robin my wife was happy. What really impressed us, was the detailed plans of the units hand drawn in not one but three pads of various sizes, along with Robins unfazed attitude when my wife wanted a change made. He even invited us to his workshop so my wife could see the actual colour she had chosen, along with the handles. Robin even suggested that as we had tall doors made, that we let them settle in over a month, in case we needed to call him back. He did come back on a very very minor problem and reassured us it was no problem him coming back. It has been over four months since the fitting, absolutely love the wardrobes along with the matching bedside cabinets (which he suggested, which we hadn’t thought of, as ours would definitely been out of keeping.) We would highly recommend and would use again. Thank you very much Robin!

We wanted a kitchen that looked special and not off the peg as our house is old so had to be fitting with its style and low ceilings. We wanted our choice of cabinets and colour and new this would be bespoke and would have to be hand built. From out first meeting with Robin we knew we were in safe hands. His attention to detail was second to none and following his site visit he immediately understood the brief. He gave us some wonderful ideas on design styles and use of space that we were so grateful for. What Robin has made for us went beyond our expectations and looks amazing! Throughout the process Robin made it so easy for us and nothing to too much trouble. Robin is clearly a details man and this shows in the craftsmanship of his work. We cannot get over how beautiful the kitchen looks and are so grateful to Robin for this.

Robin is super professional and a really artisan kitchen maker. He takes everything in his stride and easily understood the result and aesthetic style we were after – adding interesting and relevant details without the need for running every finite detail past us. Working with his install team the kitchen was fully operational within 5 days which is amazing. Couldn't recommend 1813 much more.

We were introduced to Robin by our bathroom plumber as we wanted a solid wood custombathroom cabinet. Robin was able to design something that fitted beautifully with the aesthetics of our bathroom, was responsive when the design had to change from a traditional cabinet to a corner cupboard. The final design and look exceeded our expectations. He was able to arrange for the cupboard to have a sprayed paint finish and we are looking forward to enjoying it for many years to come. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use him on home projects in the future.

I’m so glad we found Robin at 1813 Furniture & Kitchens. We had been putting off updating our kitchen for years, Robin made the experience stress free, gave great advice, and installation was super quick. We are so pleased with the result, the quality, finish, and amazing service. Highly recommend 1813 Furniture & Kitchens and we’ll be using them again for future projects.

Robin surpassed himself with our bespoke home library with hidden secret bookcase doors, storage window seat and bookcase with base cupboards for extra storage which also included the framework for a library ladder. From concept to installation, Robin fulfilled a life long dream to create a beautiful and functional home library with a difference. We are literally thrilled with the attention to detail, the quality and expertise of his work. We would highly recommend Robin and will be using 1813 Furniture again for future projects.

Robin helped to redesign my little turret kitchen - an awkward space which benefitted greatly from his craftsmanship. He was very professional from start to finish and did a great job within budget. He was also very helpful with recommendations for other trustworthy tradesmen. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Robin for any bespoke furniture or kitchen needs.

It was great to work with Robin on a bespoke home studio desk and shelving unit. Robin was really easy to work with and took the time to discuss the details to ensure the installation was exactly as we had hoped. The unit is beautifully finished and we look forward to working with Robin again.

Fantastic creativity and craftsmanship. We have had a few different jobs done and have been delighted with all of them. They are very efficient and professional, leaving the place clean and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend!

Upon discovering 1813, I was so hopeful that we had finally found someone to help us design and create our kitchen. From first contact, Robin communicated with enthusiasm and a clear knowledge and understanding of his craft. Robin answered endless questions, remained patient whilst we made decisions, researched options for our desired finish and offered advice where requested on every detail. Robin quickly recognised that drawing was the best way to communicate with us and took the time in every exchange of communication to do so visually for our benefit. I am so grateful for this.Robin clearly understood our brief and budget and worked with us to navigate it. Robin was realistic at every stage, our shared desire for strong design and detail was never compromised - we really trusted the options he presented to us and felt very confident in his suggestions and work arounds.The result of Robins dedication and hard work is a beautiful handmade kitchen whose maker can be seen in every detail. We will notice the details every day. We truly cannot recommend Robin enough.
