How we work

The person who measures it designs it and fits it.

Most kitchen companies pass you along a line. Someone sells it, someone else draws it, and a fitter you have never met turns up on the day. Here it is one person. Marius comes to your home, measures the room, designs around it and fits every piece himself.

It starts with a kitchen for most people, but it rarely ends there. The same made-to-measure approach carries into fitted wardrobes, pantries and larders, utility and boot rooms, media walls, home offices and the bespoke joinery an old house asks for. Every one is cut to fit the room it lives in.

  • One free consultation at your home, samples brought to you
  • Measured, designed and fitted by Marius
  • Cut to fit sloping ceilings, thick walls and unsquare corners
  • Painted in the colour you choose, itemised quote in writing
Why people choose us

Four things you can hold us to.

Plain promises, kept on every job, whether it is a full kitchen or a single press.

Call 085 254 4787

The kitchen first, then the rest

A bespoke fitted kitchen is what we do most and do best. Once it is in, the wardrobes upstairs, the pantry off the kitchen and the utility by the back door can be designed to match it, so the house reads as one.

Straight talk on renovation

If your layout works and the carcasses are sound, you may not need a new kitchen at all. A respray or new doors can change the room for far less. If that is the honest answer, we say so, even though it is less work for us.

Cut to fit the room you have

West Cork houses were not drawn on a grid. Ceilings slope, walls are thick, reveals are deep and corners were never square. We measure all of it and cut everything to fit, so you are not left looking at filler strips and gaps.

One pair of hands

Marius has 20 years at the bench, the last seven across West Cork. He measures the room, designs the piece and fits it himself. There is no handover between drawing and fitting for the quality to slip through.

Questions people ask before they call.

What does the first consultation involve?

Marius comes to your home, looks at the room, measures it and listens to how you use it. He brings door and colour samples with him. There is no charge and no pressure. The workshop in Skibbereen is also open by appointment.

How much will it cost?

Every job is quoted on its own after the consultation, because the size of the room, the layout and the finish all change the answer. You get an itemised quote in writing and a clear timeline with it, before anything starts.

Do you only do kitchens?

Kitchens come first, but no. We fit wardrobes, pantries and larders, utility and boot rooms, media walls, home offices and bespoke joinery such as under-stairs storage and window seats. If it is fitted furniture in a house, ask.

Where do you work?

We are based in Skibbereen and work across West Cork and into Cork city. Clonakilty, Bantry, Schull, Bandon, Kinsale and the townlands between are all covered. If you are not sure, call 085 254 4787 and ask.

Do you fit what you design?

Yes. The same person who measured your room and drew the design fits it. Laminate and timber worktops are cut and fitted by Marius. Granite, quartz and other stone worktops are templated and fitted by a trusted stone company we work with.

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!
