Bespoke kitchens for homes in Eastfields
A dresser brings a traditional feel to a kitchen, and it suits many period homes. We make dressers to fit the wall they stand against and finished to match the rest of the kitchen. Most enquiries start with cabinets that suit lean and sloping walls and an island where space allows; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Eastfields, walls tend to be truer than in older houses, though nothing is assumed. Each cabinet is levelled and scribed on site. Other trades do the gas, plumbing and electrics.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Let us know about them during the design visit, and we’ll plan the fitting around them.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, often to make the most of a small or tricky room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Kitchens in Eastfields: local notes
About 43% of the homes in the area around Eastfields went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 16% before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Eastfields include Eagle House (Grade I), under half a mile west, and Prospect House (Grade II), less than half a mile south-west. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for example removing original joinery or fixing into it, can require listed building consent from the council. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your street in Eastfields joins a main road, it is worth telling us during the design visit. We’ll plan where the van can stop.
Close to Figge's Marsh? A cupboard by the back door for boots and coats can be built in with the kitchen. If your home is one of the older houses near St. Mark's Church, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout. For a flat near Mitcham Eastfields station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
Eastfields is about 3 miles north-west of Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. Whether your home in Eastfields is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Our Merton coverage includes Eastfields and the places around it.

FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Eastfields
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Eastfields?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover homes near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Can I send pictures before the visit?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Usually not. Inside a house, fitted furniture doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings can need listed building consent for works that affect their character.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
What affects the cost of bespoke kitchens
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Helping us understand the room
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
To get a quote, get in touch through our contact form and tell us a little about the room and what you want the furniture to do. We then arrange a design visit to measure and discuss the design, and a quote in writing follows.

What else we make in Eastfields
Is bespoke worth it?
A bespoke kitchen takes more planning than picking units from a range. In return, the storage, layout and finish are designed for you. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, which shows up against standard furniture. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
We don’t publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, message us from the contact page.

Fitting day, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on fitting day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and the room should already be cleared. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- You tell us about the kitchen and where it is in your home.
- We visit to plan the layout and check how the cabinets will get into the room.
- We send a written quote.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to come in through your doors.
- We carry everything in and fit the cabinets, while your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics.
How to prepare
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
Arranging a design visit
Rough measurements are fine at the start. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.
Advice
How it’s made
Spray-painted finish
Spray-painted cabinets arrive finished, so there’s less to do on site.
Birch plywood
Open shelves in a kitchen need to stay straight, and birch plywood helps.
