Practical tips
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Mention any parking or lift rules
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
- Deal with damp walls first
- Share the layout with your other trades
Don’t leave water sitting on painted cabinets, especially around the sink and dishwasher. Moisture-resistant MDF copes well, but standing water is best avoided.
Have any damp sorted before the kitchen goes in. Damp behind units can lead to mould, particularly on a colder external wall.
Bespoke kitchens for homes in Fortune Green
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 and finished to match the rest of the kitchen. If you’re living with room for everything in the kitchen and a painted kitchen in a colour you choose, that’s what kitchens are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
An older kitchen often has a sash window and a back door, which fix where things can go. Around Fortune Green, where a large share of homes date from before 1919, the cabinets are planned around the windows and doors you have. Your plumber connects the sink where the design puts it. The worktop, sink and appliances are your choice.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

What it costs
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The overall size of the piece
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What to send when you get in touch
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Examples of the look you are after
We quote once we have seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. To book a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Why people ask for bespoke kitchens in Fortune Green
Uneven walls and floors make standard kitchens hard to fit. Cabinets end up with gaps or tilted lines, and a bespoke kitchen is scribed and levelled to avoid that.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- A kitchen for a room that is not square
- Open shelves with cupboards below
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
- Room for everything in the kitchen
If you live near Kilburn Grange Park, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.

- Where they’ll park and unload
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?

We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The National Heritage List has 65 entries within half a mile of the centre of Fortune Green. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and kitchens can be designed to work around them. About 58% of homes in the area around Fortune Green were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Older houses often have narrow kitchens at the back, with floors that slope, so each cabinet is levelled and scribed on site.
For a family home near St Luke's Church of England School, a drawer set aside for lunch boxes and water bottles keeps mornings calmer. If you live in a period home close to Church of St Luke, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.

Materials and finishes
Spray-painted finish
We spray paint in the workshop for a smooth, factory-like finish.
Hand-painted finish
Touching up or repainting is simple with a hand-painted finish.
From workshop to your room
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there is usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; hand painting, if that’s what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Where a period house has been split into flats, the way in often goes through shared parts, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. The sections are sized for the narrowest point on the route. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You contact us about a bespoke kitchen.
- At the design visit we plan the kitchen and talk about colours and finish.
- A written quote 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.
- The kitchen is fitted and scribed to the walls, with any hand painting done in the room.
- Treat new paint gently while it cures; the plumbing, gas and electrics are done by your own plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall

Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Can you fit furniture in a home close to West Hampstead Thameslink station?
Yes. We cover all of Camden and the rest of London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room.
Does a conservation area in or near Fortune Green affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
How long will the kitchen take to fit?
It depends on the kitchen. How long fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two ways to finish it: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you before anything is painted.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
