Built-in cupboards and home fittings for Brackenfell
CDC Projects fits kitchens, cupboards, flooring and doors for homeowners across Brackenfell and the surrounding northern suburbs. It’s one of the older northern suburbs, so a lot of the housing stock goes back to the 1970s and 80s: solid brick houses with generous rooms, but built-in cupboards from that era are often chipboard, damp-swollen at the base, or just too small for how people store things now. Newer complexes and cluster developments have gone up around Brackenfell too, and those bring a different kind of job: fitting efficient storage into a smaller kitchen or bedroom from scratch.
Whether you’re replacing tired built-ins in an older house or kitting out a new unit, we handle the whole job ourselves, from measuring to installing. Most streets in Brackenfell have off-street parking, which makes deliveries and installs straightforward compared to some of the tighter city suburbs.

- Adding free-standing storage in a garage, flatlet or granny flat

Our services in Brackenfell
Kitchen cupboards
Older Brackenfell kitchens often have decent floor space but an outdated layout, usually a run of low cupboards with no real pantry storage. We design and fit kitchen cupboards that use the space properly, with soft-close hinges and drawer runners built to last.
Bedroom cupboards
Built-in bedroom cupboards are one of our most requested jobs in Brackenfell, especially in older houses where the original doors have swollen or the rails have broken. We can rebuild a whole wall of storage or just replace the internals.
Free-standing cupboards
Not every room suits a built-in unit. Box rooms, garages and rental properties are often better off with a free-standing cupboard you can take with you if you move. We build these to the same standard as our fitted work.
Laminate flooring
Plenty of the older Brackenfell homes still have their original parquet or tiled floors. Laminate flooring is a quick way to freshen a room up without ripping everything out, and it usually goes down over an existing floor in a day or two.
Doors and lock fitting
From internal doors that stick in their frames to worn-out locks, our door installation and lock fitting service covers the smaller jobs that make a house feel finished and secure.
DIY cupboards
Bought flat-pack units and would rather not spend your weekend assembling them? Our DIY cupboard assembly service gets them built and installed properly, plumb and level.
Plumbing
Kitchen and laundry cupboard installs often need a basin, tap or waste pipe moved, especially in older Brackenfell homes where the original plumbing was never designed for a dishwasher or a second sink. Our plumbing service handles that as part of the same job, so you’re not booking a separate contractor.

Common questions from Brackenfell homeowners
Do you work in complexes and estates, not just freestanding houses?
Yes, we do jobs in both. If your complex needs contractor forms filled in or has set access times, let us know when you book and we’ll work around it.
Can you match new cupboards to an older kitchen that’s staying as is?
We can usually get close on colour and finish, though board ranges change over the years so an exact match isn’t always possible. We’ll show you samples before ordering anything.
How long does a full kitchen cupboard replacement take?
Once you’ve approved the quote, most kitchens take a few days to build and one to two days to install, depending on the layout.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Someone needs to let us in and be reachable, but you don’t have to watch over the whole job. We’ll talk you through anything that needs a decision.
