Kitchen and Bathroom Fitters in Marlborough

Marlborough is a historic market town with one of the widest high streets in England, surrounded by downland, Savernake Forest and pretty villages along the River Kennet. Its homes range from Georgian townhouses to thatched cottages, and many are listed. Designing kitchens and bathrooms here is about getting modern comfort without losing what makes the house special.

Homes in and around Marlborough

Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the High Street and Kingsbury Street often have tall ceilings, sash windows and kitchens in a rear wing or basement. These homes suit painted in-frame kitchens, generous dressers and larders, and stone floors.

Cottages and farmhouses in villages like Ramsbury, Aldbourne and the Ogbournes bring low beams, thick walls, and floors that slope from one side of the room to the other. Our fitters level and scribe every unit to the building, and we often choose solid oak worktops for their warmth and the way they age.

More modern homes on the edges of Marlborough and in villages like Pewsey are more conventional, and here our work is often a full kitchen replacement or a family bathroom upgrade.

Working with listed buildings

A large share of Marlborough’s homes are listed or in a conservation area. Replacing a kitchen or bathroom is usually fine, but alterations to walls, floors, original joinery or external vents may need listed building consent. We discuss this at the design visit, adapt our plans where needed, and can supply drawings for your application.

A Marlborough kitchen

For a 19th-century cottage near Marlborough, the owners wanted a kitchen that felt as if it had always been there. We designed a cream in-frame kitchen with a range cooker set into the old chimney breast, a freestanding-style dresser for display, and solid oak worktops oiled to a soft finish. Every unit was scribed to walls that varied by over 30mm along their length.

Bathrooms in period homes

Period bathrooms are just as rewarding. Freestanding baths, panelled walls, traditional basins and thermostatic showers with exposed valves all suit older homes. Where space is tight, as in many cottage bathrooms under the eaves, we design compact en-suites and wet rooms that make the most of every corner.
