Why Wickford Homeowners Choose Manor Design for Their Outdoor Kitchen

The generous rear gardens on much of Wickford's post-war housing are well suited to an outdoor kitchen, provided it is built to stay outside all year. We use weatherproof carcasses, stone or porcelain worktops and marine-grade fittings, so what you install in May still works properly the following March.

Outdoor Kitchens in Wickford & the surrounding area

We design and build outdoor kitchens throughout Wickford and the surrounding villages, including Runwell, Shotgate and Rettendon. Our Basildon design centre is about fifteen minutes away down the A132, and we will come out to look at the garden, the levels and where the services run before drawing anything.

Areas We Also Cover Near Wickford

As well as Wickford, our team regularly designs and installs outdoor kitchens across the surrounding areas, including Runwell, Battlesbridge, Rettendon, Ramsden Heath and Rawreth. Wherever you are nearby, our Basildon design centre is an easy drive away.

"We visited several showrooms before choosing Manor Design. The quality of the displays, the professionalism of the team and the genuinely personal service set them completely apart."

Questions

Outdoor Kitchens in Wickford — Your Questions Answered

Will it survive an Essex winter?

It will if it is specified for it. We use weatherproof carcass materials, stone or porcelain surfaces and stainless fittings rated for outdoor use, not indoor cabinetry moved outside.

Do we need a water supply out there?

Not necessarily, but a sink makes an outdoor kitchen far more usable. If you want one we will plan the supply and drainage at the design stage rather than bolting it on later.

What about power?

Most builds want power for lighting, a fridge and sometimes an extractor. That is designed in from the start and installed to the correct outdoor standard.

Does the garden need a base first?

It needs a level, stable surface. If your patio is sound we can usually build straight onto it; if not, we will tell you what groundwork is needed before we start.
