Cabinetmakers · Cape Winelands
Custom cabinetry and carpentry, crafted in the Cape Winelands.
Kitchens, cupboards, bars and office joinery built by hand in our workshop — designed with you, installed by our own team.
About us
An owner-run workshop with twenty years of joinery behind it.
Modern Kitchens & Cupboards has been building custom cabinetry for homes and businesses across the Cape Winelands since 2006. We keep the team small on purpose: the person who measures your space is the same person who oversees the build and stands on site during installation.

Why choose us
Built by cabinetmakers, not just installers
We take on a limited number of projects at a time so senior hands stay on every job from measure-up to handover.
Bespoke measurement
Every unit is made to the exact dimensions of your room, not adapted from a standard size.
Quality materials
Moisture-resistant board, solid hardwoods and proven hardware chosen for the Cape climate.
In-house team
Design, machining and installation are handled by our own team, so accountability stays in one place.
Cape Winelands service
We work across the Cape Winelands and surrounding areas, bringing the workshop to your site.
The process
From first visit to finished installation
A clear, four-step process keeps every project on track and gives you confidence at each stage.
01
Consultation
We visit your site, discuss the brief in detail and take precise measurements so the design fits the space exactly.
02
Design & Quote
You receive detailed drawings, material samples and a fixed, itemised quote in ZAR — no hidden extras.
03
Manufacture
Your units are built in our workshop using quality board, solid timber and hardware, typically in three to five weeks.
04
Installation
Our own installers fit, level and finish every detail, then hand over a clean, snag-free space ready for use.
Testimonials
What our clients say
“Our kitchen was gutted and rebuilt in three weeks flat. The finishing is better than anything we were shown in the showrooms in Cape Town.”
“Honest quoting, no surprises on the invoice, and they cleaned up every single day. We have since had them do the cupboards in all three bedrooms.”
“They understood exactly what we wanted for the guest cottage and matched the existing woodwork perfectly. Real craftsmen.”
