Our bespoke kitchens across Camden
We make kitchens to fit the room, not a catalogue of set sizes. Every unit is sized from careful measurements taken at the design visit, so there are no filler panels covering tricky gaps. The layout, storage and finish are planned with you before anything is made at our workshop. We make kitchens from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and people most often get in touch about tall larder storage and a kitchen that fits an uneven room.
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and how you cook.
- We visit to measure the room and go through the layout, the storage and where the appliances will sit.
- You receive a quote in writing for the kitchen cabinets.
- We build the cabinets, doors and drawer fronts in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home, working around your plumber, your electrician and a Gas Safe engineer.
How our quotes work
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.

Ask for a quote
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.

Kitchens across Camden
A larder, a dresser or a run of tall cupboards can change how a kitchen in Camden works. Moisture-resistant MDF suits the kitchen well.
The biggest shares of homes in Camden were built before 1919 (about 49%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 16%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. More than a third of the homes in Camden (about 49%) were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Kitchens in houses of that age often sit in a narrow back addition, with walls and floors that aren’t true, so cabinets are scribed and levelled on site. About 28% of households in Camden live in flats in converted or shared houses, according to Census 2021. In a converted house, rooms can be odd shapes, with new partitions meeting old walls, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Camden is part of that. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
St Pancras: If your home is one of the older houses near Lumen United Reformed Church, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true. For a family home near St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off.
What affects the cost of bespoke kitchens
To work out the quote, we look at:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- How square the room is
- The internal fittings
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside at the measuring visit, then set it out in the quote.
What we need to know
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Examples of the look you are after
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote for you to look over. To book one, use our contact form.
Materials and finishes
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF gives a smooth surface for painted doors, in a kitchen as anywhere.
Larder and dresser units
A dresser pairs cupboards below with open shelves above, made to fit its wall.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the design visit.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, after checking the walls during the design visit.
Do you need bespoke kitchens?
Some want a kitchen that suits a period house. Painted cabinets, a dresser or a larder can sit well with original features and look as if they belong.
We are often asked to help with:
- A kitchen island with room around it
- A kitchen finished in your colours
- More storage in a small kitchen
- Spaces sized for your oven and fridge
Made-to-measure kitchens or ready-made?
A bespoke kitchen takes more planning than picking units from a range. What you get is a kitchen planned around how you cook and live.
What to check before you book
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Camden
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We cannot advise on leases, so please check yours.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Let us know when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Usually not. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can need listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
How long will the kitchen take to fit?
It depends on the kitchen. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote, so you can plan your other trades around it.
Do you handle the gas and electrics for the kitchen?
No, those are jobs for other trades. Plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician, and we fit the cabinets.
