WHY PEOPLE COME TO US
A handful of projects a year, each one done properly
We're a family-run studio with a trusted team behind us, and we keep our workload limited on purpose. You're never passed from person to person, and your project gets proper thought at every stage, from the first sketch to the last hinge.
Made to fit your home
Built for your walls and your ceilings, not a standard catalogue size.
Built to last
Traditional joinery and good materials, so it still feels right in twenty years.
Honest advice
If something won't work in your space, we'll tell you, and suggest what will.
RECENT WORK

WHAT WE MAKE
Cabinetry for every room in the house
Most people come to us for a kitchen. Plenty come back for the boot room, the bedroom and the awkward alcove next to the chimney.
HOW IT WORKS
Five steps, one person to talk to
1
A first conversation
We visit, look at the space and ask how you actually live in it.
2
Design and drawings
Layouts and 3D drawings, refined until it works for you.
3
Materials and details
Timber, finishes and handles chosen for how they'll wear, not just how they look.
4
Made in the workshop
Built by hand near Harrogate, with the time each piece needs.
5
Fitted with care
Installed by Rob, so everything sits exactly as it was drawn.
BUDGETS
Most of our kitchens fall between £10,000 and £60,000, fitted. We'll talk budget early so nobody's time is wasted.
TIMESCALES
Usually 8 to 12 weeks from first visit to fitted. We're currently booking for Spring 2027.

Harrogate, Leeds, York and across North Yorkshire, and further for the right project.
THE WORKSHOP
The people behind the work
Robert Bratley is a family business. Rob has spent over twenty years making cabinetry and furniture by hand, and today he works alongside a team of skilled craftsmen in our workshop near Harrogate. Everything is still made properly, with good materials and the time each piece needs.
Rob's partner, Kirsty, brings over twenty years in brand and design. She looks after the design drawings and keeps your project running smoothly, so there's always someone to talk to while the team gets on with the making.
IN THEIR WORDS
"Rob was not only highly knowledgeable about the carpentry and installation, but also had fantastic ideas about how to use the space."
Daniel Atkinson, Restore Developments
"He brought our vision to life with stunning custom cabinetry. We couldn't be happier with the results."
Ann Fugler, Harrogate
"Beautifully crafted fitted wardrobes. His attention to detail and personalised approach exceeded our expectations."
Jamie L., Leeds
Once everything has settled, we come back to check doors and drawers and adjust anything that needs it. It's all part of the job.
FOR DESIGNERS, ARCHITECTS AND DEVELOPERS
A maker who picks up the phone
