Bespoke Furniture in Solihull
Bespoke kitchens, wardrobes and fitted furniture designed for Solihull homes, made in our Derbyshire workshop and installed by our own team.
Furniture made for Solihull homes
Chester Thomas is a single workshop-based furniture maker, not a network of local branches, and we work across the Midlands including Solihull from our base in Derbyshire. Every piece we make for a Solihull home begins with a measured survey and a design conversation, so the furniture is planned around your actual rooms rather than a standard specification adjusted to fit.
The properties we work with across Solihull range from established period homes to larger contemporary family houses, many of which have been extended or reconfigured over time. That variety means we regularly design around chimney breasts, sloped loft ceilings, open-plan extensions and awkward alcoves, and we take the time at survey stage to understand how each one affects the design.
From bespoke kitchens and fitted wardrobes to media walls, home offices, home bars and general cabinetry, the same process applies throughout: design and survey, manufacture at our Derbyshire workshop, and installation by our own team rather than a subcontracted crew. You can read more about how a project moves from enquiry to completion on our the process page page, or get in touch through the contact page to discuss a Solihull project.
Solihull's mix of period and contemporary properties, along with a good number of larger family homes that have been extended or reconfigured, means our work here spans everything from a single fitted wardrobe to a full open-plan kitchen and media wall project. Whatever the scope, the same measured, considered approach applies, based on the room as it actually is rather than a standard assumption.

Recent work in Solihull
Working in Solihull — your questions answered
- Do Chester Thomas have a showroom or branch in Solihull?
- We are a single workshop-based business in Derbyshire, without local branches, and we travel to Solihull for surveys, design conversations and installation. Nothing is manufactured until you have approved these in writing, so you always know exactly what has been agreed before work begins in the workshop.
- What areas around Solihull do you cover?
- We work across Solihull and the wider Midlands from our Derbyshire workshop. Get in touch through the contact page to confirm we can cover your specific location.
- Do you visit the property before agreeing a design?
- A measured survey is carried out in your home as standard, since accurate dimensions are essential before any furniture is drawn or manufactured. Nothing is manufactured until you have approved these in writing, so you always know exactly what has been agreed before work begins in the workshop.
- How long does a typical bespoke furniture project take?
- Timescales vary depending on the scope of the project and are confirmed once the design is finalised, covering design, manufacture at our Derbyshire workshop and installation.
- Is furniture made off-site or in the room itself?
- Cabinetry is manufactured at our workshop in Derbyshire and then delivered to Solihull, where our own team completes installation and any necessary scribing on site.
- Do Chester Thomas use subcontracted installers?
- Installation is carried out by our own team rather than a subcontracted crew, so the people fitting your furniture are familiar with how it was designed and made.
- How much does bespoke furniture typically cost?
- Cost depends on the type of furniture, size, materials, finishes, hardware, lighting and site conditions. We do not quote a figure without a survey, so please get in touch through the contact page to discuss your project.
- Do you provide a written quotation before manufacture begins?
- A detailed specification and quotation follow the design and survey stage, so you know exactly what is included before agreeing to proceed with manufacture. We keep the transformer and driver accessible for future maintenance, and colour temperature is agreed at design stage so it matches any existing lighting nearby.
