You're here because you're thinking about a kitchen that's more than just a kitchen. You want a space designed entirely around how you live, handcrafted from scratch by some of the finest craftspeople in the country. Here's a glimpse of what you'll find inside.

Take your time. Inside you'll find completed projects, the process behind how we work, and a feel for the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every kitchen we make. It's designed to spark ideas, not sell you something.
When you're ready, come and see it in person. Our Lincoln showroom is where ideas start to take shape. You can see the materials, feel the quality, and have an informal conversation about what you're thinking. No commitment, just a chance to explore.
Martin Holliday works with you personally to design a kitchen around your life. Your space, your routines, your taste. Every element is created from scratch for you. You'll see your vision come to life before a single piece of timber is cut.
Your kitchen is built entirely by hand in our Lincoln workshop by skilled craftspeople. You'll know exactly where your project stands throughout, and when it's installed, every detail will be exactly as you approved it. No surprises, no compromises.
Chiselwood has been designing and handcrafting bespoke kitchens and furniture in Lincoln since 1989. Led by world-renowned designer Martin Holliday, we do things differently. Why different? Every piece is designed from scratch for each client, then built entirely by hand under one roof. No catalogues, no pre-made units, no shortcuts. Just a team that's spent over three decades making sure clients end up with something better than they imagined.




Most kitchen companies will tell you they're bespoke. What they usually mean is they take pre-manufactured units from a range, adapt them to fit your room, and assemble a combination that works for the space. It looks custom. It isn't.
At Chiselwood, bespoke means what the word was always supposed to mean. Every single element of your kitchen is designed specifically for you by Martin Holiday. Not selected from a catalogue. Every cabinet, drawer, shelf, and surface is then handcrafted individually by our workshop team, using traditional techniques and the finest materials. Nothing is pre-made. Nothing is adapted. Nothing exists until you ask for it.
That's the difference between a kitchen that fits your room and a kitchen that fits your life.
Every kitchen is different because every client is different. We'll give you honest, transparent pricing from the outset with a fully itemised breakdown so you know exactly what you're investing in and there are no surprises down the line. The best way to get a realistic idea for your project is to book a showroom visit.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your project, but we'll give you a clear schedule with milestones from the start, and keep you updated throughout.
Not at all. Some clients come to us with a clear picture, others come with nothing more than a feeling. Martin's job is to draw the vision out of you, that's where the design process starts.
Absolutely. Our workshop in Lincoln is open to you. Seeing your kitchen take shape in the hands of the people building it is part of the experience and part of what makes Chiselwood different.
Most premium kitchen brands configure pre-made components to fit your space and call it bespoke. We design and build every single element from scratch, by hand, specifically for you. Your designer, Martin Holliday, stays with your project from first conversation to final installation so nothing gets lost along the way.
We don't disappear once the job's done. If anything needs attention after installation, we're here. Your kitchen is built to last generations, and our commitment to you lasts beyond the final fitting.
