Personal Service · Established in Skipton

One designer.
One installer.
One point of contact.

The Skipton Kitchen Company is Michael Ogden

When you choose The Skipton Kitchen Company, you’ll work directly with me from our first conversation and initial design through to installation and the finishing touches.

I’ve been designing and installing kitchens in Skipton, Craven and the Yorkshire Dales for more than 25 years. Working alongside trusted local tradespeople when needed, I create carefully considered kitchens that are beautifully made, practical and built to last.

There are no salespeople and no unnecessary handovers—just friendly, straightforward advice and one dependable point of contact throughout your project.

Designed Around You

Every kitchen begins with how you live. I take time to understand your style and your space.

Personally Installed

I lead every installation with my small team of trusted tradesmen. No project managers or passing the buck.

Quality Without Limitation

From hand finished cabinetry to premium appliances, I use the best materials and never compromise on detail.

Local Experience Since 1999

Local knowledge, thoughtfully applied.

Based in Skipton, I’ve been designing and installing kitchens across Craven, the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas since 1999.

I understand the character of local homes—from traditional cottages and farmhouses to contemporary properties—and the particular challenges each space can present. Every kitchen is thoughtfully designed around your home, your needs and the way you live.

A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Michael provided an excellent customer-centred service and was friendly, approachable and communicative throughout. The standard of work, from the building alterations through to fitting and completing the kitchen and dining room, was of the highest quality. Importantly, everything came in on budget. I strongly recommend him.

From the design and quotation through to completion, we were impressed with Michael’s enthusiasm and creativity. He transformed a bland, dysfunctional kitchen into complementary kitchen and dining areas that flow seamlessly together, cleverly integrating the previously remote Aga. We now have a much-admired and very practical space. An excellent job, thanks, Michael!

Tony & Janet

Delighted with our new kitchen. The work was completed on schedule and to budget, and it looks great. Michael listened to our requirements and suggested a design that works really well, making great use of the space. He guided us through the materials and options and was very patient throughout.

Dear Michael, just a note to say how pleased we are with our new kitchen. Robert especially likes the ‘very clever’ corner unit, and I’m over the moon with my new cupboard and workspace beside the Aga. It was much admired over Christmas—a huge success. We’ll definitely spread the word.

Robert & Anne
County Brook, Foulridge

Michael helped us with every stage of our new kitchen. He listened to our thoughts, made suggestions on layout and kept the kitchen functional. We gave him our budget and he kept within it. He always aimed to do things right rather than good enough for now. We would use him again.

Michael Ogden is The Skipton Kitchen Company, and this is one of its greatest strengths. With a degree in engineering, he is a highly organised and skilled kitchen designer and fitter. He quickly understood our budget, needs and preferences, offered invaluable advice and kept us informed throughout. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Lawri & Christina Robinson
Grassington

We are absolutely delighted with our kitchen. Michael listened carefully to our wishes, needs and budget, using his knowledge and experience to suggest excellent ideas and solutions. The result is a beautiful, practical and handcrafted kitchen. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his pride in his work was clear throughout.

Sam & Clare
Skipton

We needed someone experienced who could guide us through the process from start to finish, with a creative, can-do attitude to problem-solving. Michael’s engineering background helped him turn challenges into imaginative solutions. He is a careful and talented joiner who takes great pride in his work. We are delighted with our dream kitchen.

Angela & Matt

In Bucks was a kitchen so sad,
An update it never had.
Then along came the man,
With it all in his van—
And this lady was ever so glad…

And still is, ten years on!

Gill
Beaconsfield, Bucks

The Skipton Kitchen Company installed our maple-fronted kitchen in 2003, transforming it into a bright, modern and functional space. Eight years and thousands of meals later, the units and worktops still looked as good as when they were fitted. The appliances were excellent, and the installation was completed on schedule without any hassle.
