Kitchen Hero in Kinsale

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

Kinsale homes get looked at. Townhouses on narrow streets that people photograph, houses over the harbour with the kitchen in full view of the living room, and open-plan family homes out the coast road. A kitchen here has to be right from every angle, which is easier when the person who drew it is the person standing in the room making sure the end panel sits flush.

We work in Kinsale from Skibbereen. Marius comes to your home for a free consultation, measures the room himself and brings samples so you can see colours in your own light. He designs the kitchen for that room, it’s cut to size and painted in the colour you choose, and he fits it. Pantries, media walls and bespoke joinery follow the same way.

Kinsale homes

Townhouse, harbour house or family home on the coast.

What tends to suit the houses around Kinsale.

Townhouses in the old town

Narrow plots, thick walls and a kitchen that runs a long way back from the street. The best answer is usually a galley or an L with tall storage, painted in a colour that suits the age of the house. Nothing off the shelf sits right in these rooms, so every width is cut to the wall.

Houses over the harbour and on the headlands

Open plan, glazed to the water, and the kitchen is the centrepiece whether you like it or not. It has to look as good from the sofa as it works from the hob. An island, a fitted media wall on the far side and a pantry press to hide the clutter tend to make these rooms work.

Family homes towards Ballinspittle and Garretstown

Detached houses with a generous kitchen-diner and room for a walk-in pantry or a utility with a proper door. These are kitchens that get used hard, so drawers over doors, storage that goes to the ceiling and a worktop you don’t have to baby. Fitted wardrobes upstairs often follow.

Do you cover Kinsale?

Yes. We work in Kinsale, Summercove, Belgooly, Ballinspittle, Garretstown and the townlands between, and into Cork city beyond. Our workshop is in Skibbereen and West Cork is where we work.

Where does the free consultation happen?

At your home. Marius comes out, looks at the room and how you live in it, measures everything himself and brings finish samples. He then designs around what he measured and you get a written, itemised quote with a clear timeline. There’s no obligation and no hard sell.

Can you match a media wall or pantry to the kitchen?

Yes. Everything is designed and painted as one, so a media wall across the room or a larder press round the corner reads as part of the same kitchen. Cables are hidden and doors line up. It’s all measured and fitted by Marius, so nothing has to be matched up afterwards.

Do you take on renovations in Kinsale?

Yes. If your units are sound and the layout works, new doors or a fresh painted finish can make the kitchen feel new. If not, we’ll say so. Straight talk on which it is comes free with the consultation.

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!
