We’re a local kitchen installation company based in Woodley, Reading.
We are Connor and Louis, two carpenters who specialise in kitchen fitting. We primarily operate in the Reading and Berkshire area where we work closely with our suppliers to design and fit a fully bespoke kitchen that compliments the interior of your home, helping you achieve your dream design. Whether that’s modern, traditional or contemporary our attention to detail and excellent workmanship will ensure it remains timeless.
Offering a range of solutions to suit your budget, space, and requirements we have access to a range of high quality materials and suppliers. Working closely with an extensive network of other trades we handle all aspects of the kitchen fit, from worktops to appliances and tiling to plumbing we’ll make sure your new kitchen is the standout feature in your home.
As fully qualified carpenters, we happily undertake other types of carpentry work. It’s our passion, and we enjoy working on a range of projects. We will happily undertake a range of 2nd fix carpentry work including door hanging, skirting and architraves, wardrobes and even larger jobs such as staircase installation.

When I was around 12 or 13 I would help my dad, who’s a bespoke bathroom fitter, during the summer holidays on a few of his jobs. So I started getting an idea about what I wanted to do from a young age. Itching to get out there and learn a trade when I left school, I came across an advert for an “Apprentice Kitchen Fitter” at Cruz Kitchens, perfect! I applied and got the job.
After completing my apprenticeship in carpentry, I went self employed. Specialising in kitchen fitting I sub-contracted with Cruz Kitchens for around 8 years, gaining extensive experience fitting a wide variety of designs, and taking pride in making a customers dream kitchen become a reality.
I knew we could offer a more complete service, and was becoming frustrated with projects being put on hold while having to wait for other tradespeople to complete parts of the job. So, I completed a City and Guilds Part P Electricians course. This allows me to undertake minor domestic electrical work, keeping projects moving forward and saving time for our clients.

While working as an apprentice for OEB Carpentry I qualified with an NVQ level 2 in site carpentry at Reading college in 2014. This gave me a great foundation and understanding of all types of carpentry work, and the opportunity to meet and work with other trades.
It was in 2015 that I began specialising in kitchen fitting, joining Elements Kitchen Design as a kitchen fitter. Working for Elements I began to really develop a keen eye for good functional design and a meticulous attention to detail.
After 5 years with Elements I decided it was time to team up with Connor and set up Wilson & White Kitchens. Using all the contacts and skills I’ve learned along the way, taking great pride in my workmanship, we are able to undertake all aspects of kitchen fitting from appliances to worktops and everything in-between!
