Bespoke kitchens in East Barnet
Some kitchens suit a dresser, with cupboards below and open shelves above, and in a period house it can look as if it has always been there. We make dressers to fit the wall they stand against, scribed to follow it and painted to suit the room. Typical reasons to get in touch are a pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers and a kitchen island with room around it, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Knocked-through kitchen-diners in older semis sometimes keep a chimney breast, and the recesses beside it can take a dresser or larder. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around East Barnet, the design can make the most of it. A blocked chimney still needs ventilating, and damp is sorted first.

Flats, leases and landlords
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, which we check at the design visit.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
FAQs: bespoke kitchens in East Barnet
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in East Barnet?
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, and we’ll plan around it.
Do you make bespoke kitchens for homes in East Barnet?
Yes. East Barnet is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
How long will the kitchen take to fit?
How long fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
The problems bespoke kitchens solve
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, so every run is used.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- An island where space allows
- Extra cupboard space
- Cabinets built around the appliances you choose
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
For a family home near Church Hill School, a tall cupboard by the door can take school bags and coats as part of the kitchen.
What to check before you book
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Have they thought about parking near you?
What it is made from
Larder and dresser units
A dresser pairs cupboards below with open shelves above, made to fit its wall.
Birch plywood
We use birch plywood where strength matters, which matters in drawers and shelves that carry weight. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
Fitting day, step by step
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. How long the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand helps the day run well. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- You contact us about a bespoke kitchen.
- We visit to measure and talk through the layout and the finish, spray-painted or hand-painted.
- A quote in writing follows, with the finish agreed.
- We make the kitchen in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which suits kitchens and takes paint well, and birch plywood.
