Graincraft workshop

We build kitchens people actually cook in.

Family joinery workshop in Leeds. Everything made by hand in our own shop. No flatpack, no fuss.

Run by Tom and Dan. Based in Kirkstall, Leeds. Been at it since 2004.

Tom and Dan, joiners since 2004

We started Graincraft in a rented unit in Kirkstall with a table saw and not much else. Over twenty years later we have got a proper workshop, a small team, and a long list of kitchens, staircases, and wardrobes across Leeds that we are genuinely proud of.

We do everything ourselves. We design it, we build it in our workshop, and we come and fit it. No subcontractors, no middlemen. If something is not right, we fix it. That is how it has always worked.

How we work

From sketch to installation

01
Consultation
We come to you, have a look at the space, take measurements, and talk through what you want. No charge, no obligation.
02
Design
We draw it up, pick out materials and finishes together, and agree a timeline. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
03
Build
We build it in our workshop in Kirkstall. You are welcome to pop in and see how it is coming along.
04
Installation
We come and fit everything ourselves. We clean up after ourselves and make sure you are happy before we go.

Fitted kitchen
Kitchens

Handmade fitted kitchens built around your space

Our kitchens are built from solid timber frames with dovetailed drawer boxes, soft-close hinges, and hand-painted finishes. We sort everything out from the initial design through to fitting the worktops and plumbing in the sink. Every kitchen is different because every room is different.

Dovetailed drawers with soft-close runners
Hand-painted, spray-finished, or natural timber
Worktop templating and installation included

Doors and Windows

Bespoke doors, frames, and sash windows

We make internal and external doors to any size, including odd openings and older properties. Our sash windows and casements are built properly using traditional methods but with modern draught-proofing. If you need it to match your existing joinery, we can do that.

Timber and materials we work with

Oak
Durable hardwood, natural grain character. Ideal for kitchens, staircases, and flooring.
Ash
Light-toned hardwood with excellent strength. Great for worktops and contemporary furniture.
Walnut
Rich, dark tones with fine grain. Used for statement pieces and high-end finishes.
Tulipwood
Smooth, stable, and paintable. Our go-to for hand-painted kitchens and wardrobes.

What our customers say

R
Rachel Henderson
Headingley, Leeds
★★★★★
"Tom and the lads did our kitchen last year. Honestly could not be happier. The drawers are solid, everything fits perfectly, and they left the place spotless. Best money we have spent on the house."
D
David Priestley
Chapel Allerton, Leeds
★★★★★
"Had some awkward alcoves that nothing off the shelf would fit. Dan came round, measured up, and a few weeks later we had shelves that look like they have always been there. Really pleased."
M
Mark Ainsworth
Otley, West Yorkshire
★★★★★
"We wanted an oak staircase for our barn conversion and Graincraft nailed it. Everyone who visits comments on it. Proper craftsmanship, not something you see much of these days."
S
Sam Holt
Leeds City Centre
★★★★★
"They did the bar and back fittings for us. Turned up when they said they would, got on with it, and the result looks brilliant. We have had them back for a second job since."
