Bespoke kitchens designed for your room
What affects the price in Coldblow
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- The internal fittings
- How square the room is
- Parking near your home
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Getting in touch
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Where you live, with the postcode
- How you want to use the space
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space. To send them over, use our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
About our bespoke kitchens in Coldblow
Kitchens in period houses bring their own challenges. Few walls are flat, and floors often fall away from the walls, sometimes noticeably over a single run of units. Each cabinet is trimmed to the wall and levelled on a plinth or adjustable feet, so the worktop you choose can sit level. People typically come to us about cabinets that suit lean and sloping walls and a kitchen planned around your appliances; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
An island needs space around it to work, and not every kitchen has that. Interwar, semi-detached and detached homes make up a big part of the housing around Coldblow, and some of those kitchens have been opened up enough to take one. We check the clearances at the measuring visit, along with where water and power would need to reach. Services to an island are for your plumber and electrician.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

What happens on fitting day
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You get in touch and tell us 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.
- A written quote follows for the cabinets, materials and finish. Plumbing, gas and electrics are not part of it: those are for your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician.
- 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.
Preparing the room

Advice
Your questions about bespoke kitchens in Coldblow
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Bexley station?
Yes, homes across Bexley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Coldblow?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan the day around it.
How much does a bespoke kitchen cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Every kitchen is different, so we price it after the design visit. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
Can I send photos ahead of the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
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 registered engineer and your electrician, and we fit the cabinets.
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.
How it is made
Spray-painted finish
With a spray finish, the painting is done in the workshop, so there is less to do on site.
Hand-painted finish
Some people like the character of a hand-painted kitchen in an older home.
Do you need bespoke kitchens in Coldblow?
Many people come to us because a standard kitchen doesn’t suit their room. Off-the-shelf cabinets come in set widths, leaving gaps at the ends and above. A bespoke kitchen is made to the room instead.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting in touch:
- Room for everything in the kitchen
- A kitchen island with room around it
- A kitchen that fits an uneven room
- A layout for a small or tricky room
For families living near Maypole Primary School, a kitchen with a spot for school letters and lunch boxes makes mornings easier.
What to check before you book
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- How parking will work on your street
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
Is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf kitchens are quicker to buy and typically cost less, and in a square modern room they can work well. In an older house with uneven walls, they tend to need filler panels and leave gaps. Bespoke is a bigger investment, built around the space you have. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, and straight-sided ready-made units make that obvious. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. It is useful to talk about parking at the design visit, so it can be planned.
