Meet Marius

The person who designs your kitchen is the one who fits it.

Most kitchen firms pass you around. A salesperson takes the order, a factory builds it, and a fitter you have never met turns up to install it. When something does not line up, everyone blames someone else.

Kitchen Hero is one person. Marius has spent twenty years at the bench, the last seven of them fitting kitchens and fitted furniture across West Cork. He comes to your house, measures the room himself, draws the kitchen around it, has it cut to size and painted in the colour you choose, and fits every piece himself. There is no handover for the quality to slip through.

The workshop is in Skibbereen. There is no showroom. Samples come to you at the free consultation, and you are welcome to visit the workshop by appointment to see finishes and work in progress.

Why people choose Kitchen Hero

Three promises that shape every Kitchen Hero job.

They are not slogans. They are how every job here actually runs.

One person, start to finish

Marius designs your kitchen, measures your room and fits it himself. No sales team, no factory, no stranger turning up to install. Quality has nowhere to hide.

Cut to fit real West Cork rooms

Sloping ceilings, thick walls, corners that were never square. Everything is measured and cut for your room, so you are not left looking at filler strips and gaps.

Straight talk, no showroom games

If a respray or new doors would beat a full new kitchen, he will say so, even though it is less work for us. The first consultation is free and the quote is itemised and written down.

How it works

From first chat to fitted kitchen — no surprises in between.

01

We talk.

A free, no-pressure chat at your place or the workshop. Bring a rough idea and a rough budget.

02

We measure.

Marius surveys the room himself and designs around it.

03

You get a quote.

Itemised, with a clear timeline. You’ll know what you’re paying for before anything starts.

04

We prepare it.

Your kitchen is cut to size and painted in the colour you chose.

05

We fit it.

Marius installs every piece himself, and doesn’t leave until it’s right.

The workshop

Skibbereen, by appointment.

The workshop is where finishes are checked and work is prepared before it goes to your house. It is not a showroom. If you would like to see finishes, door styles and work in progress before deciding anything, call Marius and arrange a visit. Otherwise he brings samples to you.

The first consultation happens at your home, so Marius can measure the room and see how you actually use it. Bring a rough idea and a rough budget; that is enough to start.
Good to know

About Kitchen Hero, in short.

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, call Marius — it’s quicker than a form.

Is it really just one person?

Yes. Marius measures, designs and fits every job himself. That is why the site says one pair of hands: it is literal, not a slogan.

Where are you based?

Skibbereen, in West Cork. We work across West Cork and into Cork city. Consultations happen at your home, and the workshop is open by appointment.

Can I see your work before I decide?

Yes. Have a look at our work online first. If you would like to see finishes and door styles in person, Marius brings samples to the consultation, and you can visit the workshop by appointment.

Do you only do kitchens?

Kitchens come first, but the same approach covers fitted wardrobes, pantries and larders, media walls, home offices, utility and boot rooms, and one-off joinery such as under-stairs storage, window seats and stair panelling.

How do I start?

Call 085 254 4787 or book a free consultation. Marius comes to you, measures the room and talks through what you have in mind. You then get an itemised quote with a clear timeline.

I am delighted with my kitchen. Marius took the small space I had, and rearranged the design of the kitchen to fit the space. It is now a refreshing and contemporary space with tons of storage. His attention to detail is exceptional. 100% recommend.

I needed a press built in where a fridge used to be and it had to look like the rest of the kitchen presses. Marius was so exact and his attention to detail is fantastic. Highly recommend him.

Placed a tricky ‘under-the-stairs’ cupboard with an eye for detail. Great result, we are so happy with it and the loads of storage! Neat on the job, flexible, excellent communication and Marius of ‘Kitchen Hero’ was only happy when the fit and finish were perfect 😃

Marius was a pleasure to deal with, from design ideas all the way up to construction and fitting. He gave us loads of extras, went through all the options and tailored our kitchen to our budget. The quality of his workmanship and his products are out of this world! He lives up to his name as the kitchen hero. Along with all the traditional carpentry/joinery skills he looked after the plumbing and working for the relocation of sinks, switches etc etc. thanks again for making our house a home!
