Where our story started.
Keller kitchens in Manchester and Cheshire
Selling Keller on Manchester Road since 1986
Keller is where our story starts. Geoff Sharpe opened Keller Kitchen Centre here at 338 Manchester Road in 1986. The business became Suga Küchen in March 2023, and we're still a registered Keller dealer today. That history shows in our client list too: for one family, we designed a new Keller kitchen 20 years after their first one with us, around the range cooker they still loved.
A Dutch kitchen, made to order
Keller is a Dutch brand, and every kitchen is made to order in the Netherlands rather than supplied flat-packed. The range is smaller than Schüller's, at around 20 to 25 door styles, and its strength is matt slab doors in muted, earthy tones. Keller also makes Keller Originals, a collection designed with the Dutch designer Piet Boon, for people who want a more architectural look.
Who Keller suits
Keller suits people who want a calm, restrained kitchen and care about how it's made. In our brand guide, Cass rates it the most sustainable of the three brands we stock. It also sits close to Schüller at the entry level, so if you're deciding between the two, it's well worth seeing both side by side in the showroom before you settle on one.
Some of the Keller designs we work with
Keller groups its kitchens into designs, each with its own colours and materials, and these are a few of them. The colours aren't fixed, either. For a kosher kitchen in Prestwich, a custom door colour was created for our clients, and it's now available to anyone buying a Keller kitchen from us. Your designer can show you the samples in the showroom.
Perfect Sense
Extremely matt black and white fronts that resist fingerprints, and where fine scratches can be repaired with heat.
Northern Nature
Scandinavian-inspired pastel green and light wood, with a worktop USB point and wireless charger.
Terracotta Dreaming
Warm truffle, terra and soft pink tones, finished with red copper.
Bliss Boutique
Green, wood and cognac with marble and gold, for a richer look.
Cottage Life
Linen-look fronts on the island, for a softer, country feel.
Botanic Vintage
Greens that work just as well in a country house as in a city apartment.
How Keller keeps its footprint down
Keller has made its kitchens carbon neutrally since 2017, and it's PEFC certified, which means its wood can be traced to sustainably managed forests. For one of our Knutsford kitchens, the cabinets were made from recycled MFC chipboard that Keller developed with the University of Amsterdam. If the environmental side matters to you, tell your designer early and they'll steer you towards the right materials.
Why buy your Keller kitchen from us
We're a registered Keller dealer and a direct stockist, with Scandinavian-inspired Keller displays in our Timperley showroom. A made-to-order kitchen has to be right before it's ordered, so every Keller kitchen we sell is surveyed twice, including our 40-point check, and you sign off the drawings before the order goes to the Netherlands. Our fitters then install it to a written schedule.
Keller kitchens we've designed and installed
These show how far Keller stretches: a barn conversion with Dekton worktops, a Knutsford kitchen with a flush BORA hob, a kosher kitchen in Prestwich and a sage green family kitchen. That last client compared designs from more than ten kitchen companies, then travelled from North London to our showroom. Open any project to see the finishes we chose.

Charcoal Keller kitchen for a returning client
This client bought a kitchen from us 20 years ago and still loved the range cooker, so the new kitchen kept it.

Whichever brand you choose, the design conversation comes first, and it's the part of the process many of our clients mention in their reviews. Here's what some of them said about working with Lindsay and the rest of our design team. You can read every review in full, along with the rest of our Google reviews, on our reviews page.
“Lindsay took time to plan and design the kitchen with us, within our set budget. The end result was even better than we expected.”
“Patient, helpful and attentive to every little detail. Lindsay truly listened to what we wanted and guided us through the whole process.”
“Our priorities were a single entity to project manage it, and within six weeks. Lindsay nailed that for us, and Dan was always around for practical advice.”
