Burbidge & Son - Kitchen & Bathroom Furniture Makers

In 1867 Henry Burbidge founded his woodworking company with a capital of ten shillings at the age of 40. Our family business has flourished over the years, surviving countless economic recessions, a technological revolution and two world wars – even the destruction of the factory during the Coventry Blitz was seen as just an interruption to proceedings.

While our origins lie in crafting cricket stumps and croquet mallets, we have continuously reinvented ourselves. In the early 1970s, we introduced our first kitchen range, and then in the 1980s, we started supplying bathroom doors, maximising our rich wood working legacy to offer a superior, solid timber option in a market flooded with budget designs.

Today with the sixth generation now at the helm, Burbidge & Son is widely recognised as one of the leading UK kitchen & bathroom makers in the industry, thanks to this strong heritage.

A lovely yarn, but why does this matter to me you ask?

Bespoke is in our blood; as embodied by our early order book’s breadth of specialist requirements. And our commitment to investing in the very best production equipment enables us to offer a vast collection of shapes, sizes and finishes – giving you greater scope for flexibility and creativity. 

Our legacy means we have an intimate knowledge of production methods, whether incorporating intricate beading onto a shaker ash door or hand-spraying your kitchen with a bespoke colour palette that masterly reveals the beauty of our high-quality timber.

Above all because it demonstrates that you are in reassuringly experienced hands …

You are buying a piece of furniture that has been carefully handmade in our workshops in the heart of the country, crafted by long-serving and highly skilled UK-based specialists.
