Bespoke kitchens for homes in Brockley Hill
We make the cabinets; the worktop, sink and appliances are the ones you choose. We plan each space around the appliances you’ve chosen, from the oven housing to the dishwasher. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote. If your home has extra cupboard space and open shelves with cupboards below, that is what kitchens are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A good share of the homes around Brockley Hill were built between 1945 and the early 1970s. Post-war kitchens tend to be simple rectangles, often on the small side, so cabinets made to the exact width of the room make the most of it. Walls may be concrete, block or brick, so fixings are chosen for the wall.
The furniture is made at our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so every detail can be checked first.

Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
Long kitchen shelves can sag under plates and jars, and birch plywood helps.
Doors and drawer fronts
Door style makes a big difference to the look, whether plain or framed.
Could you do it yourself?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Post-war homes often have concrete or block walls, so fixings are chosen for the wall on fitting day. We protect floors and doorways as the furniture comes in.
- First, you let us know about the kitchen you have and the one you want. It helps to know the worktop, sink and appliances you have in mind.
- At the design visit we measure the room and go through the layout, storage and finish, including where the sink and appliances will go.
- We send a quote that sets out the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are made at our workshop.
- The kitchen is fitted in your home, and your plumber, electrician and a Gas Safe engineer do the plumbing, electrics and gas. We do not arrange those trades, so it helps to book them early.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Arranging a design visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.

Questions we are often asked
I live near Elstree & Borehamwood station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Brockley Hill?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch.
Brockley Hill homes and bespoke kitchens
Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up about 35% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Brockley Hill, with about 26% built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for kitchens, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Near the centre of Brockley Hill, Historic England’s list includes Brockley Hill Farmhouse (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. It is worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. About 26% of homes in the streets around Brockley Hill were built since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Kitchens in homes built since 2000 are often open-plan, with stud walls, so wall cabinets are fixed into the studs or with fixings made for the board.
If you live in a period home close to St Peter, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top. For a family home near London Academy, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off. Living in a block of flats near Elstree & Borehamwood station? Then the route in is measured as well as the room, and the sections are sized to fit it.
Brockley Hill is within the London Borough of Barnet, about 5 miles east of Finchley. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Brockley Hill included. Across Barnet, we cover Brockley Hill and the places around it.
Postcode districts we cover here for bespoke kitchens: HA7, HA8 and WD6. Our area takes in homes on streets like Wood Lane, Brockley Avenue and Pipers Green Lane, along with the roads around them, whether you want bespoke kitchens or another piece made for the room.

What’s near Brockley Hill
Our area takes in the homes around Abercorn Arms Public House and Aylward Primary School. Brockley Hill’s nearest station is Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.8 miles north-east. A little further out are Bentley Priory Museum (1.5 miles west) and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (under half a mile north-west). Not far away are Edgware Way Grassland.
What it costs
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The width and height of the space
- The number of doors and drawers
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.
Before the design visit
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To arrange the visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
