Investing in a luxury kitchen is about more than just choosing high-end materials and beautiful designs, it’s about ensuring every detail is crafted and installed to perfection.
Choosing to buy your luxury kitchen and have it fitted by skilled local tradespeople brings a host of benefits. At JW McDonald our team are local kitchen fitters who are multi-trade experts who can handle every aspect of the project, from carpentry and electrics to flooring, tiling, plumbing, and decorating. This all-in-one service not only streamlines the process but also guarantees a cohesive, high-quality finish while supporting local craftsmanship and the community.
Many of our clients choose to take the supply & fit option we offer and install a luxury kitchen from Howdens. With branches 27 branches across London Howdens are easily accessible for you to visit a local showroom, they offer quick & easy availability on their kitchen ranges meaning if you have an urgent project that needs completing e.g. Christmas / New Year this is absolutely a must for busy clients who are time-shy due to busy work schedules.

The main difference is that the Chelford is a modern shaker with a wide, flat frame, while the Elmbridge is a traditional shaker with a narrower, beaded frame and a more classic look. The Chelford is often described as having a clean, contemporary style with a pressed slab and a smooth finish, while the Elmbridge is constructed with a five-piece, solid timber frame with authentic woodgrain and a decorative beaded detail.
Chelford offers a contemporary look suitable for minimalist or modern schemes, while Elmbridge has a classic, handcrafted feel for a refined, elegant aesthetic Chelford also offers a contemporary look suitable for minimalist or modern schemes, while Elmbridge has a classic, handcrafted feel for a refined, elegant aesthetic.
