38 Years On: A Callerton Kitchen Still Going Strong
At Callerton Kitchens, we know that the kitchen is so much more than just a room. It is the heart of the home where meals are cooked and shared, where families gather, and where kids sit at the kitchen table or perch at the breakfast bar, chatting about their day at school. Over time, it becomes the backdrop to countless moments, both big and small. That is why we take the investment in a new kitchen so seriously. For us, it is never just about cabinets and worktops. It is about creating a space that will serve and support your family for many years to come.
Recently, we had the absolute pleasure of seeing that long-term commitment come to life in a truly special way.
A wonderful couple visited us with a simple request. They had purchased their Callerton kitchen 38 years ago when we had a retail showroom in a Tyneside department store. Decades later, their kitchen is still very much in place, still in daily use, still the hub of family life, and still standing the test of time.
The reason for their visit? After nearly four decades of faithful service, one hinge on a cupboard had finally given way. Just one.
As we chatted, they shared memories of selecting and purchasing their kitchen all those years ago, and we even pulled out some of the original paperwork. It was a lovely moment of nostalgia for both them and some of our team who have been with Callerton since those early days.
When we mentioned the story to our founder Gordon, he immediately knew exactly which hinge it was. This is a testament to his knowledge and the consistency in the products we have used over the years. Rob was able to locate the newer version of the hinge, and we soon arranged for the repair.
With the replacement fitted, their kitchen is once again fully functional and as you can see from their smiling faces, they were absolutely thrilled to have it back in perfect working order.
This heartwarming story is a true reflection of what Callerton Kitchens is all about. Craftsmanship, longevity, and building kitchens that truly stand the test of time. When you invest in a Callerton kitchen, you are investing in decades of everyday living, family memories, and quality that lasts.
