The Kitchen Store
German kitchens in Guildford
German kitchens are built to a standard you can feel the first time you open a drawer. At our Guildford showroom on Chertsey Street we carry Nolte and nolteNEO, with handleless doors, precision-engineered cabinetry and storage that has clearly been thought about by someone who cooks. Come and try them properly. The working kitchen in our showroom is there to be used, not admired.
Nolte and nolteNEO, side by side
German engineering, in practice
Nolte is one of Germany's leading kitchen manufacturers, and, aside from design the reason we carry it is: the things you touch every day hold up. Hinges, runners, internal fittings, all built and tested well past what a Surrey family kitchen will ever ask of them. The storage is the part clients tend to notice later, once they realise everything has somewhere to live. Browse the full Nolte range or the wider German kitchens collection to see how it is put together.
Where nolteNEO fits
nolteNEO is the premium tier, and it is where the finishes get interesting: Lodge Blackened Oak, Soft Lack, timber grains with real depth to them. It is what we reach for when a client wants the kitchen to be the thing people comment on. Both ranges are on display at Chertsey Street, so you can compare the two in the same visit rather than from memory.
German kitchens we have built in Guildford
When Andy and Lauren took on a full house build and renovation in Guildford, they wanted a home that felt bold and refined at the same time. We designed and installed three connected spaces: kitchen, pantry and boot room. The main kitchen uses nolteNEO Lodge Blackened Oak with a contrasting island in Soft Lack Magma, on Quartz Grey internals. It is the best example on this site of what the range can do in the right hands. See the project.
Further into Surrey, a bold nolteNEO kitchen in burned oak shows the same range in a very different register. And a little further out, a mid-century inspired Nolte kitchen proves German cabinetry does not have to read as clinical.
See them at our Guildford showroom
Our Guildford showroom is our newest, right in the town centre at 8 Chertsey Street. Nolte and nolteNEO are displayed alongside our British ranges, which is the comparison most clients actually want to make. There is a working kitchen with a working AEG downdraft induction hob and a Quooker Flex tap, plus doors, handles and work surfaces to go through with a designer. Public parking is about two minutes away. Mark, our Head of Retail, specialises in both our German and British products and is usually somewhere in the building.
