Bespoke kitchens in Bromley Common: what you get
We’re carpenters, so we make and fit the cabinets, while other trades handle the services. Your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics, and we plan the cabinets around where their work goes. Typical reasons to get in touch are a layout for a small or awkward room and more storage in a small kitchen; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
A kitchen gets more use than any other room, so the inside of the cabinets matters as much as the outside. In Bromley Common, as anywhere in London, we talk through how you use the kitchen during the design visit. Drawers for pans, a tall larder and a place for the bin are worth planning from the start. Cabinets are made from moisture-resistant MDF or birch plywood.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Could you do it yourself?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is easy to buy.
What it is made from
Spray-painted finish
We spray paint in the workshop for a smooth, factory-like finish.
Larder and dresser units
A larder gives tall storage for food and small appliances, sized to what you store.
Flats, leases and landlords
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.

What happens on fitting day
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It’s useful to clear the room and the route in before fitting day, including pictures on nearby walls. We cover floors and doorways first. Then the sections come in and are joined in place.
- First, you let us know about the kitchen you have and the one you want.
- We visit, measure the walls, floor and ceiling, and go through the design.
- You get a quote in writing for the cabinets, with the materials and finish set out, for you to read through.
- We build and finish the kitchen in our workshop.
- We fit the kitchen in your home, while your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician handle the plumbing, gas and electrics. We don’t arrange those trades, so it helps to book them early.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings

Bespoke kitchens in Bromley Common: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Bromley Common were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 28%) and before 1919 (about 23%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Bromley Common include Oakley House (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east, and Turpington Farmhouse (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling may need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. On TfL’s red routes, the rules on stopping and loading are strict. If your street in Bromley Common joins a main road, it’s worth telling us at the design visit. We can then plan where the van will stop.
For families living near Trinity Church of England Primary School, a kitchen with a spot for school letters and lunch boxes makes mornings easier. Bromley Palace, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout.
Bromley Common is part of the London Borough of Bromley, about 3 miles east of Orpington.

Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Is Bromley Common in the area you cover for bespoke kitchens?
Yes, Bromley Common is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bromley and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Do you cover homes near Bickley station?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture to avoid condensation. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
How long will the kitchen take to fit?
Every kitchen is different. The time the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
What are the kitchen cabinets made of?
MDF for smooth painted parts and birch plywood for drawer boxes and shelves. The finish is spray painted in our workshop or hand painted, in colours agreed with you.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours, and it’s agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
The problems bespoke kitchens solve
In many older homes, ready-made units struggle with lean and slope. Gaps and wavy lines are hard to hide, and a bespoke kitchen is scribed and levelled to avoid that.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- A painted dresser for the kitchen
- Cabinets for a narrow kitchen
- Spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets
- A kitchen that fits an uneven room
For an older house near Holy Trinity Church, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- A quote in writing that sets out the job
