Meet The Founder
Blacktail Kitchens is led by Andy Austin, a carpenter, joiner and kitchen installation specialist with nearly three decades of hands-on experience.
Andy began his career in carpentry at 16, completing a five-year apprenticeship at Royal Ascot Racecourse before qualifying as a joiner and developing the precision, discipline and attention to detail that still define his work today.
Over time, his work became increasingly focused on kitchen installation, where careful preparation, accurate fitting and a properly managed process make the greatest difference to the finished result.
Alongside kitchen installation, Andy also spent many years designing and building made-to-measure fitted furniture and wardrobes, producing bespoke work that demanded millimetre-accurate joinery and refined finishing. That background continues to influence the way every kitchen is installed today.
Why Clients Choose Blacktail Kitchens
Clients choose Blacktail Kitchens because the installation is handled with the same care as the kitchen design itself.
Every project is approached methodically, with clear communication, careful scheduling and close attention to detail from preparation through to final handover.
Homeowners consistently value:
• Clear communication throughout
• Clean and organised working environments
• Careful scheduling and coordination
• Precise fitting and finishing
• A calm, professional presence on site
A Structured Approach
Kitchen renovation involves far more than fitting cabinets.
It requires planning, coordination and consistent oversight from start to finish. Blacktail Kitchens provides a single point of responsibility throughout the project, ensuring each stage is scheduled, managed and executed properly.
Trusted electricians, plumbers, decorators and flooring specialists are coordinated where required so the installation progresses smoothly and the finished result reflects the quality of the design.
Each project is approached methodically, with respect for your home and an uncompromising standard of workmanship.
