From workshop to your room
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s typically only filling and touching up to do in the room; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room, and the sections are assembled in place.
- You tell us about the room and how you use it.
- At the design visit we measure the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the layout. We note where the water, gas and sockets are now.
- A quote follows, covering the design and finish.
- The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are made in our workshop.
- Fitting day: we fit the cabinets, and your plumber, electrician and a Gas Safe engineer handle the services. We don’t arrange these trades ourselves.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Ask for a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing for you to look over. To book one, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
How we make bespoke kitchens for Coombe Hill
You choose the worktop, sink and appliances, and we design the cabinets around them. Knowing the appliance sizes early lets us leave the right spaces, from the oven housing to the dishwasher. Your quote sets out the materials and finish. People normally come to us about a kitchen that fits an uneven room and a dresser that suits a period house; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Knocked-through kitchen-diners in older semis sometimes keep a chimney breast, which can frame a dresser or tall cupboards. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Coombe Hill, that’s a feature worth designing around. Any capped chimney stays ventilated.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, all taken from the design visit.

Is it time for bespoke kitchens?
Often the call comes after building work has opened up the space. A new layout deserves a kitchen designed for it, and building work itself is for your builder.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A layout for a small or awkward room
- Extra cupboard space
- Cabinets that suit lean and sloping walls
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Dorich House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.
Before you choose who makes it
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
Bespoke kitchens in Coombe Hill: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Coombe Hill were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 45%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for kitchens, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. The National Heritage List records 5 entries within half a mile of the centre of Coombe Hill. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. Controlled parking zones are run by the boroughs, so the rules in Kingston upon Thames are set locally. Depending on your street in Coombe Hill, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. Let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Close to Richmond Park? A tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design. Pembroke Lodge, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Ready-made cabinets often have chipboard carcasses. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, painted in colours you choose, finished to suit the room. The spaces between doors, windows and radiators are seldom a stock size, so ready-made furniture often ends up in the wrong place. Built-in pieces are planned around those fixed points.
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.

FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Coombe Hill
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in Coombe Hill?
Yes, Coombe Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Coombe Hill?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Can I send photos ahead of the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
How much does a bespoke kitchen cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. A small galley and a large kitchen with a larder and island are very different jobs, so we quote once we’ve measured. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
How much time does fitting need?
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. We will talk it through at the measuring visit.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
The real difference is in the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
