Kitchen appliances and worktops for homes in Manchester and Cheshire
Why appliance choice comes early
Your cabinets should last for decades, and the appliances inside them decide how you cook every day in the meantime. That's why we talk about appliances before the layout is fixed. A venting hob, a tall oven stack or a boiling-water tap each change where things need to go, and it's far easier to plan for them on paper than to work around them once the kitchen is in.
The appliance and worktop brands we specify
These are the appliance, sink, tap and worktop brands we specify. Each has its own page with the features and finishes our clients choose, and a selection of appliances is working in our showroom so you can try them. Your designer will recommend what suits the way you cook, and tell you honestly where spending more makes a difference you'll notice.

NEFF ovens and hobs
NEFF appears in most of the kitchens we install, and we're a NEFF 5 Star MasterPartner [CONFIRM: still current]. Our showroom has NEFF appliances on display, including some you won't find on the high street. Many clients choose the Slide&Hide oven, whose door slides away beneath the oven when it's open, and NEFF's Home Connect lets you control appliances from your phone.
Venting hobs, and why they change a layout
A venting hob draws cooking steam down through the hob itself, so nothing hangs over an island or blocks a window. In one Knutsford kitchen we fitted a BORA vented hob flush with the worktop to keep the room light and open. BORA can duct the air outside or filter and recirculate it, which suits passive and low-energy homes, so we check the route at the survey.
Boiling-water taps
A boiling-water tap gives you boiling water straight from the sink, so the kettle can go. We fit Quooker in more of our kitchens than any other tap. The Flex has a pull-out hose, and the Cube adds chilled and sparkling water. Finishes run from stainless steel to matt black and Ancient Bronze, and the tap is childproof, because it needs a specific combination of movements before it will pour.
Sinks, taps and the cupboard underneath
Sinks, taps and bins often get less thought at the planning stage than they deserve. Blanco plans them together as a BLANCO UNIT, with sinks, taps and bins in dedicated packs, so the cupboard under your sink is properly organised rather than a jumble of pipes. We've fitted Blanco undermount sinks in single and twin-bowl versions, in stainless steel and composite.
Worktops that suit how you cook
We use Cosentino surfaces for many of our kitchens. Silestone comes in around 48 colours and contains at least 20 percent recycled materials, made using 100 percent renewable energy. Dekton is almost non-porous, which is why we used it in a kosher kitchen in Prestwich. Our worktop article covers the questions to ask before you choose, and stone worktops we install carry a 10-year guarantee.
Guarantees on what we install
Appliances come with the manufacturer's own guarantee, which can run for up to 10 years depending on the brand and model you choose. At handover, we walk you through how every appliance works, so nothing is left to the instruction booklets. Twelve months later we come back to check it's all as it should be, and you'll know exactly who to call.
Appliances and worktops in real Suga kitchens

You'll find a flush BORA hob, a NEFF Slide&Hide oven beside ceramic worktops, Miele built into a tall run and a kosher kitchen with two dishwashers and Dekton worktops.

See all FAQsDoes a venting hob work as well as a cooker hood?
For everyday cooking, a well-planned venting hob draws steam and smells down at the pan before they spread, and it's a popular choice for islands, where a hood would block the view. If you'd rather keep full-depth drawers under the hob, or there's no practical duct route, a hood or ceiling extractor may suit you better. Your designer will talk you through both.
Can I keep some of my existing appliances?
Often, yes. For one repeat client, we designed a new kitchen around the range cooker they still loved and the American fridge freezer they already had. Your designer will check sizes and services at the survey to make sure anything you keep will fit and work properly.
What guarantees come with the appliances?
Appliances carry the manufacturer's own guarantee, which can be up to 10 years depending on the brand and model. Stone worktops we install carry our 10-year guarantee, and our workmanship is guaranteed for five years. We also come back 12 months after handover to check everything is working as it should.
