Based just 15 minutes from Hertford, in a quiet village called Welham Green, John Ladbury have been crafting beautiful bespoke kitchens for over 40 years. We are one of Hertfordshire’s only independent handmade kitchen specialists. Unlike many retailers, we make all our furniture to order at our on-site workshop, and have done ever since our founder, John, crafted his first kitchen in 1978. As a prestigious, family-run company, we pride ourselves on championing exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding quality.
Over the years, we’ve refined our collection, bringing together the latest technical innovations with timeless design details. Both our contemporary and traditional ranges are perfectly suited to modern living. To ensure your new kitchen truly enhances your lifestyle and complements your home, we’ll liaise closely with you throughout the design process. Our experienced and professional team are here to support you from concept to completion. We’ll do everything it takes to make sure your journey and your finished kitchen are simply exceptional.
Ranging from elegant, art-deco-inspired handleless kitchens perfect for entertaining to cosy and characterful in-frame interiors ideal for family life, all our beautiful bespoke kitchens are as unique as you are. Our talented designers will take the time to understand your individual tastes and requirements in order to help you find the perfect solution to enhance your home. They’ll work with you to refine your design, recommending the best layout and practical features to streamline your workflow and maximise space. You can rest assured we won’t overlook a single detail.
