Castlemead Homecraft

Kitchen and bathroom installation from a Seaham showroom

Castlemead Homecraft is a kitchen and bathroom specialist based at East Shore Village in Seaham, County Durham, serving the North East of England. The company states it was established in 2004 and has since built what it describes as an extensive portfolio of completed work. Its activity covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, flooring and study rooms, with design and installation handled through a local in-house team.

The business presents itself as an approved installer for Second Nature, a point it highlights as reassurance for customers choosing a kitchen range. It also refers to an established team and directs visitors to its reviews on Trustpilot.

Kitchens: ranges, materials and appliances

The site features selected kitchen collections, including a Modern Kitchens range in Porter – Dove Grey and a Shaker Collection in Crathorne Porcelain, both offered with a consultation booking. Beyond the featured displays, the company says it works with customers to design their new kitchen or bathroom.

On construction, Castlemead Homecraft states that all its kitchens use the BLUMOTION door and drawer system and colour-coded 18mm rigid built carcases. The appliance and fittings brands it lists include AEG, Whirlpool, Bosch, Neff, Omega, Ideal Standard, Dovcor, Roper Rhodes, Vitra, Roman, Caesarstone and Silestone, among others.

Project management and trades under one order

A central part of the offer is end-to-end project management. According to the company, placing an order triggers a comprehensive survey to confirm sizes, products and timescale. Installation is carried out by a dedicated team able to handle gas work, electrical work, plasterwork, tiling, flooring and internal building work, so the different trades involved in a fit-out are coordinated by the same provider.

The Seaham showroom

The showroom sits in the coastal town of Seaham, within a community of shops and restaurants. It is described as holding current displays, appliances, fittings and accessories, together with samples and catalogues visitors can take away. Staff are on hand to welcome customers and begin the design process.

How the business presents itself

Castlemead Homecraft says it has built its business on recommendations rather than advertising gimmicks or promotional deals, and frames its proposition around service and value for money. The company also notes that Rob and Phil have been in business for over nine years, designing and installing kitchens and bathrooms to a high standard across the North East.
