Professionally Fitted Kitchens for Pinhoe Homes
Mark Hodge Carpentry Services provides professional kitchen fitting for homeowners, landlords and property developers throughout Pinhoe and the surrounding areas of Exeter.
From fitting a complete new kitchen to replacing cabinets, worktops and finishing details, we complete the careful installation work required to create a practical and properly finished room. We can work from plans provided by your chosen kitchen supplier and adapt the installation around the actual dimensions of the property.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, we understand that even a carefully prepared kitchen plan may need adjustment once the fitting begins. Walls may not be completely straight, corners can vary and existing plumbing or electrical services may not sit exactly where they appear on the original design.
Each kitchen is approached individually. Base units, wall cabinets, worktops, panels and storage are measured and fitted around the available space, helping the finished kitchen feel properly integrated with the home.
Whether you are replacing an older kitchen near the centre of Pinhoe or fitting a new kitchen within one of the more recent developments towards Monkerton and Cumberland Way, contact us for straightforward advice and a free quotation.
Why Choose Mark Hodge Carpentry Services?
A good kitchen installation depends on careful preparation as well as accurate fitting. Units need to sit level, doors and drawers should align correctly, and worktops, panels and trims must fit neatly against the surrounding walls.
We bring practical carpentry experience to every stage of the project. You will receive honest advice about the work required, clear communication during the installation and close attention to the details that determine the quality of the finished room.
Discuss Your Pinhoe Kitchen Project
Planning a new kitchen in Pinhoe? Send us your supplier plans, product information and photographs of the existing room where possible.
We can review the proposed installation, discuss any preparation that may be needed and arrange a visit to the property.
Do you fit kitchens supplied by major retailers?
Yes, we can install kitchens supplied by national retailers, independent kitchen companies and specialist manufacturers.
Before fitting begins, it is helpful to have the final design, full product list and information about the appliances and worktops. The delivered items should also be checked for damage or missing components so that any issues can be addressed before they delay the installation.
Can you fit a kitchen in a new-build property?
Yes. We can fit kitchens in newer homes as well as established properties throughout Pinhoe.
Although the walls and floors in a newer property may be more consistent, the room should still be measured and checked against the supplier plan. Small differences can affect cabinet positions, appliance openings and the size of finishing panels.
Can kitchen units be adjusted around uneven walls?
Kitchen units, fillers and panels can often be adjusted to work around walls and corners that are not completely straight.
The most appropriate solution will depend on the amount of variation and the design of the kitchen. Careful measuring and scribing can help produce a much neater result than leaving wide or uneven gaps around the cabinets.
Do you install kitchen worktops?
We can fit suitable laminate, timber and compatible worktops as part of the kitchen installation. This may include straight runs, corner joints, upstands and appropriate openings for sinks or hobs.
Stone, composite and certain specialist worktops may need to be measured, manufactured and installed by the supplier or an approved fabricator.
Yes. Additional shelving, cupboards or fitted storage can sometimes be introduced where the original supplier design leaves unused space.
This may include open shelving at the end of a cabinet run, storage above appliances, a small pantry cupboard or fitted units around an alcove. The available options will depend on the room and the products selected.

Complete Kitchen Installation in Pinhoe
A new kitchen needs to be carefully fitted around the shape of the room and the services already present within it. We begin by checking the proposed layout and comparing the supplier measurements with the actual property.
The positions of windows, doors, plumbing, sockets, appliance connections and floor levels can all influence how the installation is completed. Identifying potential issues before the main cabinets are fixed can reduce the need for disruptive changes later in the project.
We fit base units, wall cabinets, drawer units, tall cupboards and appliance housings, making sure the main cabinet runs are securely installed and correctly aligned. Doors, drawers and internal mechanisms can then be fitted and adjusted so that they open smoothly and sit consistently.
The final stage can include worktops, plinths, cornices, pelmets, end panels, handles, fillers and other visible finishing details. These smaller components are important because they help close the gaps between the standard kitchen units and the individual dimensions of the room.
Kitchen Layouts and Storage Designed Around Your Home
A kitchen should provide enough room for cooking, preparation and storage without making the space difficult to move around.
We consider how cabinet doors, appliance doors and drawers will open, particularly in kitchens with narrower walkways or several units meeting around a corner. The position of islands and breakfast bars should also leave enough space for seating and everyday movement.
Modern kitchen systems can provide deep drawers, pull-out larder units, corner storage and integrated waste solutions. These fittings need to be assembled and adjusted properly so that they remain accessible and operate smoothly.
Where standard products do not use the room effectively, additional carpentry may provide a better solution. Shelving, cupboards and carefully fitted panels can help make use of areas around chimney breasts, boxed services and non-standard wall positions.
Working With Your Kitchen Supplier’s Plans
A kitchen plan provides a useful guide to the intended layout, but it should always be checked against the actual room.
Plans cannot always account for slight changes in floor level, hidden pipework or walls that vary across their length. These issues may only become clear once the old kitchen has been removed or the fitting work begins.
We will discuss any significant differences with you before changing the intended installation. This ensures that decisions about cabinets, fillers, worktops or appliance positions are understood before the work continues.
Worktops and Final Details
Worktops are among the most visible elements of a kitchen, so accurate measuring and fitting are important. Joints, edges and overhangs should appear consistent, while openings for suitable sinks and appliances need to follow the requirements of the selected product.
End panels, plinths, upstands and trims complete the transition between the kitchen and the surrounding room. Taking care with these elements helps prevent the finished installation from looking incomplete or pieced together.
