Every project starts the same way. A designer from Lime Designs visits the home in Banstead, takes measurements, reviews the full ground-floor layout, and has an authentic conversation about what the household wants and what the building allows.
That in-home survey is where the real work begins. Natural light, existing plumbing and drainage positions, structural walls, ceiling heights, and how the kitchen connects to the garden or a dining space. All of it is assessed before anything is drawn up. The 3D visualisation produced after the survey lets you see the finished kitchen in full before placing a single order. You can refine and adjust it until the design is exactly right.
Much of Banstead’s housing stock dates from the interwar and early post-war period. These properties typically have generous room proportions, good ceiling heights, and rear gardens with real extension potential. They reward considered kitchen design rather than a quick replacement.
Painted in-frame cabinetry suits these homes well. Shaker door styles in traditional or slim profiles, natural stone or quartz worktops, and quality hardware all add to a kitchen that sits comfortably within the building’s character. Where the kitchen connects to a separate dining room or utility space, the design can be extended across both rooms to create a more cohesive ground floor.
For newer properties and homeowners who want a more contemporary finish, the approach shifts. Handleless cabinetry in matt or lacquered finishes, fully integrated appliances behind matching panels, engineered stone worktops with clean joins. Timber slab doors and modern matt slab styles are both available and work well in Banstead’s larger, more open kitchen footprints.
The specification corresponds with the property and with what the household actually wants from the room. Both directions are available. Neither is pushed as a default.
Lime Designs offers a range of door styles to suit every property type and personal preference. The range includes MDF Shaker, Timber Slab, Inframe Shaker, Ultra Slim Shaker, Modern Matt Slab, and Slim Shaker profiles. All are available across more than 38 colours as standard, with a custom paint-to-order service available for those who want something specific.
Whether the project calls for a painted traditional kitchen with brushed brass hardware or a handleless contemporary design with a dark stone worktop, the range has the depth to deliver it without compromise.
Lime Designs manages kitchen projects from the first design conversation through to completed installation. Plumbing, electrical work, lighting, tiling, flooring, and appliance fitting all sit within the same team. There is no need to coordinate separate trades or manage a timetable between contractors. One team handles the complete scope, with a single point of contact throughout.
Because all tradespeople work under the Lime Designs umbrella, every stage of the installation is carried out to a consistent standard. Projects are delivered on time and on budget, with minimal interruption to the household.
Supply-only is also available. For homeowners in Banstead who have their own builder or prefer to manage installation independently, Lime Designs handles the design and full specification, supplying cabinetry, worktops, and appliances ready for installation. The same design quality and product range apply either way.
A number of kitchen projects in Banstead involve structural work alongside the new kitchen. Banstead’s interwar and post-war housing often has the ground floor still in its original configuration, with a separate kitchen and dining room that would work significantly better as a single open space. Rear extensions are also common, particularly on properties where the garden depth allows it.
Lime Designs has an in-house building team that works alongside the kitchen designers and installers. Wall removals, single-storey rear extensions, and full ground-floor reconfigurations can be managed as part of the kitchen project, with a single team and timeline. The structural work and kitchen design are planned together from the outset, so the two elements are built to work together rather than one following the other without coordination.
An enquiry leads to a free home survey. A designer visits the property in Banstead, takes measurements, looks at the space, and discusses what the household wants to achieve. No charge, no obligation.
From the survey, a full 3D design and clear quotation are produced. Once the design is agreed and the project confirmed, the timeline is set out, and a single point of contact manages everything from start to finish. Whether the scope is a kitchen replacement, a full supply-and-install project, or a kitchen combined with structural building work, the process is the same throughout.
The full range covers modern, traditional, and contemporary styles. Door profiles include MDF Shaker, Inframe Shaker, Ultra Slim Shaker, Slim Shaker, Timber Slab, and Modern Matt Slab. The design consultation identifies the direction that best suits the specific property and the household’s preferences.
Open Monday to Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 4:00pm.
