Bespoke kitchens in Charlton: what you get
We make kitchens to fit the room, not a catalogue of set sizes. Every unit is sized from careful measurements taken during the design visit, so the runs fit neatly from wall to wall. The layout, storage and finish are planned with you before anything is built in our workshop. If your home has a central island in a larger kitchen and spaces sized for your oven and fridge, kitchens made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
Across London, neighbouring streets can be decades apart in age, and kitchens can be anything from a narrow galley to an open-plan room. The kitchen is designed for your room as it is. Each wall is checked so the fixings suit it.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Charlton homes and bespoke kitchens
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Charlton were built before 1919 (about 34%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 29%), 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. Charlton is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house does not normally need permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. If you live on or close to a main road in Charlton, let us know at the measuring visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
For a flat near Charlton station, kitchens are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. Close to Charlton Park? A tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.
Charlton is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, about 2 miles east of Plumstead. Charlton is part of the area we cover. Charlton is one of the places in Greenwich where we make bespoke kitchens.
Here we cover the SE7 and SE18 postcode area for bespoke kitchens. Our area takes in homes on streets like Floyd Road, Guild Road and Priolo Road, along with the roads around them, for bespoke kitchens and any of our other fitted furniture. Neighbouring places we cover for bespoke kitchens include New Charlton (1 mile north-west), Westcombe Park (1 mile west), Woolwich (1 mile east), Vanbrugh Park Estate (1 mile south-west) and Kidbrooke (2 miles south). We also make bespoke kitchens in nearby places such as Plumstead (2 miles east), Greenwich (2 miles west), Eltham (3 miles south), Well Hall (2 miles south), Coldharbour (4 miles south) and New Eltham (4 miles south).

Common questions about bespoke kitchens
How do you fit bespoke kitchens in a flat in Charlton?
At the design visit, we measure the way in as well as the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do you make bespoke kitchens for homes in Charlton?
Yes. We cover all of Greenwich and the rest of London, and Charlton is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
What materials do you use for kitchens?
Our kitchens are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then spray painted or hand painted. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Will a bespoke kitchen suit my uneven floor?
Yes. We scribe each cabinet to the wall and set it level on adjustable feet or a plinth, so the worktop you choose can sit level. That is a big part of why bespoke suits period homes.
Which worktops and appliances can I have?
The cabinets are designed for the worktop, sink and appliances you’ve picked. It’s useful to choose them before the design is final, and your quote sets out what’s included.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.

Fitting day, step by step
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site, so it sits neatly against the room. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. For a flat, building rules and lift booking are worth checking early; for a house, steps, paths and parking are the things to mention. We plan the details of the day during the design visit. Saturdays can be arranged.

Spray-painted finish
Spray painting suits a kitchen that should look crisp, and it is done before fitting.
Is it time for bespoke kitchens?
In a flat, the kitchen may share a wall with the living space or sit in a narrow galley. Bespoke cabinets can make the most of a small or odd-shaped room without wasting space.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A central island in a larger kitchen
- Extra cupboard space
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
- A kitchen finished in your colours
Near listed buildings like Charlton House, about 0.5 miles south of the centre of Charlton, older homes may keep original joinery that kitchens can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- How they handle walls that aren’t straight
What affects the price in Charlton
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. This is what makes the difference:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Parking and unloading on your street
- How many doors and drawers there are
There is no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, talk through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, send us a few details through our contact form.
Before the design visit
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Examples of the look you are after
- Your postcode and the borough
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, so you can take your time with it. To arrange the visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is quick to buy.
