How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. The time the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Noise from drilling travels in a block, so neighbours may appreciate a note, and many buildings limit noisy work to certain hours. Fitting day is planned around any rules your building has. Saturday work is by arrangement where the building permits it.
- You get in touch with a few details about the kitchen. Say a little about the way you cook.
- The design visit covers measuring and planning the layout.
- A written quote is sent to you, setting out the cabinets, materials and finish.
- The kitchen is made at our workshop.
- The cabinets are fitted in your home, with plumbing, gas and electrics by your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician.
Preparing the room
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone

Bespoke kitchens in Chelsea Harbour: what you get
A kitchen needs other trades as well as a carpenter. Plumbing is done by your plumber, gas by a Gas Safe engineer and electrics by your electrician, and we plan the cabinets around where their work goes. If you’re living with extra cupboard space and a painted kitchen in a colour you choose, that is what kitchens are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
An open-plan kitchen in a flat is on show from the sofa, and doors, panels and paint colour are chosen with that in mind. Around Chelsea Harbour, most households are in purpose-built flats. End panels and a matching tall unit can tie the kitchen to the living space.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something is not quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Why people ask for bespoke kitchens in Chelsea Harbour
Kitchens in older homes can be short on cupboard space. A larder or tall units can change how much you can store than a row of standard wall units.
We are often asked to help with:
- Extra cupboard space
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
Near listed buildings like Old Battersea House, under half a mile south-east of the centre of Chelsea Harbour, 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.
What to check before you book
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Will the quote be in writing?
FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Chelsea Harbour
Is Chelsea Harbour in the area you cover for bespoke kitchens?
Yes, we work across Hammersmith and Fulham, Chelsea Harbour included, and across the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Chelsea Harbour affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
What does a bespoke kitchen cost?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we’ve measured. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Can I send pictures ahead of the visit?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Can you fit a kitchen in a room with uneven walls?
Yes. We scribe each cabinet to the wall and set it level on adjustable feet or a plinth, to give a level line for the worktop. That is a big part of why bespoke suits period homes.
What it is made from
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted kitchen can be refreshed over time.
Plinths and scribe strips
We use plinths and adjustable feet to level the units on a sloping floor. Scribe strips follow the wall.
Why bespoke in Chelsea Harbour?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, rather than ordering from a range. In return, the storage, layout and finish are designed for you. Standalone furniture takes up floor without using the height of the room. Built-in pieces use the full height and the awkward corners.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Why choose us
- Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- We visit, measure and talk through the design before we quote
- Work across the whole of London
- Built around your room

Kitchens in Chelsea Harbour: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 36% of the housing in the area around Chelsea Harbour, with about 28% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for kitchens, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Chelsea Harbour is partly covered by a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are largely about how buildings look from outside. The council can confirm if you are not sure. About 36% of homes around Chelsea Harbour were built before 1919, well below the figure for Hammersmith and Fulham as a whole, about 56%, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We check what the walls are made of at the measuring visit, as they vary with the age of the home.
If you live in a flat close to Imperial Wharf station, kitchens are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. If you live near Imperial Park, a cupboard by the back door for boots and coats can be built in with the kitchen.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you get in touch.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
