Outdoor Kitchen Installers in Cottingham

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied the base, paving and kitchen into one plan. Stone feels sturdy, edges are kind on wrists and stools slide under without clipping knees.

A tiny drip groove keeps the face clean after rain. It looks designed rather than bolted on.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping kept the footprint sensible but lifted the function. The fridge shelf sits at knee friendly height, the bin hides behind a neat door, the counter meets the pergola posts so the run reads designed.

From the kitchen window it looks like it always belonged. Cleaning is a cloth and a minute, not a project. We expected a treat for weekends. What we got is a calm weekday habit.

Dan treated smoke like weather, not guesswork. He checked the breeze with thread, shifted heat to a calmer pocket and made sure the grill lid clears the beam.

A narrow shelf sits beneath the counter for plates mid service, a tiny lip stops slides and a towel hook lands exactly where your hand goes. He labelled circuits in plain English. We no longer bump into each other or bring trays inside halfway through. It feels strangely peaceful to cook.

The lighting is gentle and practical. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tucked power beneath the bar, so cables don’t clutter.

Evenings feel cosy without glare.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping poured a level base, laid porcelain and built the kitchen as part of the terrace, not an afterthought. The sink keeps pressure and the drain doesn’t sulk after rain.

We linger outside in jumpers.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping used porcelain that looks like stone without the upkeep. Joints meet cleanly and chairs glide without catching.

The terrace feels finished.

Cladding matches the boundary, the sink drains to a hidden gully and the bar top wipes clean after a lively Saturday. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping made a space we use for a quick brew at lunch or a long chat at dusk.

I thought outdoor kitchens were all show. Dan changed my mind by asking what we actually cook.

He placed heat where wind can’t play games, set a narrow shelf for hot pans, and fixed a hook for towels where my hand naturally lands. The counter doesn’t blind at night, the sink doesn’t sulk after rain and the cooler sits within easy reach. It works with quiet competence, which is exactly what I wanted.

Dan arrived with a calm plan, a tape and three sensible layout options sketched while we talked. He nudged the oven out of a gust path, placed a landing shelf by the door and tucked a socket where the cooler actually lives.

Plates now travel in a tidy loop from door to prep to heat to table. The counter edge feels kind on wrists, the bin hides yet lands under your hand, and the whole thing wipes in minutes.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping built a compact U that somehow fits a real prep zone, a sink with decent pressure and a perch for guests who like to hover. The counter edge is friendly, stools glide in quietly and the bar clears the smoke path.

A drip groove along the nose keeps rain streaks off the face. We ate bacon rolls out there on a cold Saturday and didn’t feel like we were roughing it.

Dan tested the breeze with a ribbon, moved heat away from gusts and checked the grill lid cleared the beam. He added a little perch for oils and salt so I’m not hunting mid turn.

It runs smoothly, which makes the cooking feel easier than indoors.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping used a stone that shrugs spills and chose lighting that shows the board, not faces. Calm and practical.

Cladding, chosen by Backhouse Construction & Landscaping, mirrors the fence. The bar faces the last light and stools slide in quietly.

We wanted an outdoor kitchen that blends with the garden rather than shouting at it. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping matched cladding to the fence and set porcelain that wipes in seconds.

The fridge shelf sits at an easy reach and a slim hook keeps towels off the counter. Weeknights are calmer.
