About
Notch Studio was born from a desire to design and create unique kitchens and furniture. Our approach has always been in contrast to the conveyor belt of mass-produced work widely available. Instead, our aim from the very beginning has been to proudly offer expert design and craftmanship. Whether you are a private client, an architect, designer or contractor, we can help you achieve the perfection you seek. All projects of any size and style, from a brand new bespoke kitchen to the smallest furniture job are carried out with meticulous attention to detail.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
