An Intervari kitchen is drawn for your room, not picked from a catalogue. We design it with you, then make the cabinetry in our own joinery workshop on Shakespeare Industrial Estate in Watford, a short drive from north London.
That means the people who draw your kitchen and the people who build it work under one roof. If a run of units needs to be a few millimetres narrower to suit an old wall, we change it at the bench rather than working around a standard size.
A bespoke kitchen from us covers the whole job, from the first sketch to the last handle:
Ask us to confirm exactly what falls to us and what falls to your builder or electrician for your particular job.
1. First meeting. Come to the showroom and workshop in Watford, or we visit you. We talk about how you cook, who uses the room and what you like the look of.
2. Survey and design. We measure the room and produce drawings. You tell us what to change, and we change it.
3. Sign-off. Once you are happy with the layout, materials, finishes and appliances, we agree the final drawings and specification.
4. Making. Your cabinetry is built in our workshop, so we can check the quality as it goes.
5. Installation. Our fitters install the kitchen and tidy up as they go. We work to a set of dates you know about in advance.
6. Aftercare. Doors and drawers can settle in a new room. If something needs adjusting after fitting, call us and we will sort it.
The furniture is genuinely made in Watford, not bought in and badged. You are welcome to visit and see it being made.
If you have a designer or architect on your project, we work to their drawings and keep them in the loop.
The same person looks after your project from the first meeting to the last visit, so you always know who to ring.
We also make fitted bedroom furniture, bathroom furniture and specialist joinery, so everything can be designed to match.
It depends on the size of the kitchen and how quickly the design is signed off. Design and drawings usually take a few weeks of back and forth, then the cabinetry is made in the workshop, then fitted. Tell us your target date at the first meeting and we will give you a programme with real dates for your job.
Yes. We regularly work with builders, architects and interior designers, and we are used to fitting into a wider renovation or extension. We will agree who does what, and when we need the room ready, so nobody is waiting on anybody else.
That is the point of the drawings and the samples. You approve the layout, materials and finishes before we make anything, and because we make it ourselves you can come to the Watford workshop and see the actual pieces during production.
Small changes are usually fine early on. Once cabinetry is being made, changes cost time and money, so we work hard on the drawings first to get everything right. If you do want a change, tell us straight away and we will explain what it means for the price and the dates.
Because the cabinetry is built in the workshop, most of the cutting and dust happens in Watford, not in your house. Our fitters protect the areas they work in and clear up at the end of each day.
Ring us on 01923 954769. Doors and drawers sometimes need a small adjustment once the room has settled, and we would rather come and put it right than have you live with it.
Every kitchen we make is different, so we do not have a price list. The cost depends on the size of the room, the materials and finishes you choose, the worktop, the ironmongery and how much specialist joinery is involved.
The way it works is simple. We meet, look at your room and talk about what you want. From that we can give you a realistic idea of the range your kitchen is likely to sit in, before you commit to anything. Once the design is settled you get a written quotation with the specification set out, so you can see what you are paying for.
If a design fee applies to your project, we will explain what it covers and what happens to it if you go ahead, in writing, before you pay anything. Please ask us to confirm the current arrangement.
If you are planning a kitchen in London or Hertfordshire, the best place to start is a conversation about your room. Call 01923 954769, email design@intervaridesign.com, or send us your details through the enquiry form and we will get back to you to arrange a design consultation.
