Integrating Technology into a Handmade Kitchen Without It Dating in Five Years
Our handmade kitchens are built to last. Every cabinet, piece of timber, the joinery and the finishes are all designed…
Appliances are the working heart of a kitchen. We specify and integrate the best of the world’s premium cooking and refrigeration brands, including Sub-Zero, Wolf, ILVE, NEFF, Miele and Fisher & Paykel, and we have many of them on live, working display at our Bridgers Barn showroom.
Premium Appliances, Properly Integrated
A bespoke kitchen is the right setting for the world’s best appliances, and a chance to integrate them so they sit beautifully within the cabinetry rather than standing apart from it. As a Sub-Zero & Wolf Premier Dealer, we work routinely with the full Sub-Zero refrigeration and Wolf cooking ranges, and we specify and design around ILVE range cookers, NEFF and Miele built-in appliances, Caple wine coolers, Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwashers, and a careful selection of smaller specialist makers.
We design the kitchen around the appliances you want, not the other way round. Eye-level oven banks, integrated column refrigeration, induction hobs paired with downdraft extractors, warming drawers, coffee machines and built-in microwaves all become considered parts of the cabinetry.
Brands and ranges we commonly work with
- Refrigeration: Sub-Zero Classic, Designer Series, BI built-in fridge-freezers, integrated wine storage, undercounter drawers, outdoor units; Liebherr; Caple
- Cooking: Wolf M-Series ovens, dual-fuel and induction range cookers, induction hobs, downdraft and pro-style extractors, warming drawers; ILVE range cookers; NEFF N90; Miele
- Dishwashing: Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer; NEFF; Miele
- Filtered & boiling water: Quooker Classic Fusion, Pro3, CUBE for chilled still and sparkling

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply as well as install the appliances?
Yes. As a Sub-Zero & Wolf Premier Dealer we supply the full Sub-Zero and Wolf range directly, and we can quote for and supply ILVE, NEFF, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, Caple, Quooker, BORA and most other premium brands you might want.
Can I see the appliances working before I commit?
Yes. Our Bridgers Barn showroom near Bishop’s Stortford has live, working Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf ovens and hobs, an ILVE range cooker, a Quooker tap and a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer on display so you can use them in person before specifying.
What is a Premier Dealer for Sub-Zero & Wolf?
Sub-Zero & Wolf appoint a small number of UK kitchen specialists as Premier Dealers, which gives us full demonstration capability, access to the latest product introductions, factory-certified installation support and direct manufacturer training. It also means we can advise on the right Sub-Zero or Wolf model for your kitchen layout.
Can you integrate a hob with a downdraft extractor?
Yes, very often. A Wolf or NEFF induction hob paired with a NEFF or BORA downdraft extractor keeps the visual line of an island clean, with no overhead hood to break the sight lines. We design the cabinetry around the downdraft motor and ducting.
Do you handle servicing and warranty work?
Sub-Zero, Wolf, ILVE, NEFF, Miele and most premium brands have their own UK service networks. We can coordinate factory-certified installation and put you in touch with the right service team if anything ever needs attention.
