In-Frame Kitchen Design & Installation in Stockport & Cheshire.

Crafted by Shepherds of Cheshire

At Shepherds of Cheshire, we are proud to design and craft timeless, beautifully detailed in-frame kitchens that bring together traditional joinery with modern-day functionality. Whether you’re renovating a period property or enhancing a contemporary home with classic character, our bespoke in-frame cabinetry offers elegance, precision, and lasting quality.

Each of our kitchens is made in our own workshop in Stockport, ensuring everything is built by hand and to the highest standard, right here in Cheshire.

What Is an In-Frame Kitchen?

An in-frame kitchen is a hallmark of classic British craftsmanship. Unlike standard kitchen cabinets, where doors are mounted directly to the carcass, in-frame cabinets feature a solid hardwood frame into which the door sits. This adds both structure and durability, with a beautifully finished, furniture-style look that elevates your entire kitchen.

It’s a detail often overlooked, but once experienced, never forgotten.

The Benefits of In-Frame Kitchen Design.

Whether you’re drawn to its timeless aesthetic or its engineered strength, choosing a bespoke kitchen means investing in a piece of craftsmanship that will last for decades.

Here’s why homeowners across Stockport and Cheshire choose our handcrafted kitchens:

Strength & Longevity – In-frame construction offers superior strength, resisting warping and wear over time.
Refined Appearance – Visible frames create cleaner lines and a premium, furniture-like finish.
Precision Fit – Hand-fitted doors and drawers offer a seamless and satisfying feel.
Unlimited Customisation – From colour and handles to internal storage, it’s all made to suit your lifestyle.

Made in Cheshire. Designed for You.

All of our bespoke kitchens are made to order in our workshop just outside Stockport town centre. This means we’re not only local, but fully hands-on throughout every stage, from timber selection to finishing touches.

And because we’re based here in Cheshire, our team understands the diversity of homes in the region; from spacious countryside properties to charming Victorian terraces. No matter your layout, we tailor the kitchen to your space, making the most of every inch with smart storage, elegant finishes, and personal design touches.
