How fitting works for bespoke kitchens
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it is useful to have the room cleared beforehand, as agreed at the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. 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. 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.
- We start with how you cook and what the kitchen needs to hold. Larders, dressers and islands can all be part of it, where space allows.
- We visit to measure and go through the design and storage.
- We send a written quote setting out the cabinets, materials and finish.
- We build and finish the kitchen in our workshop. The materials are moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: we fit the cabinets, and your plumber, electrician and a Gas Safe registered engineer handle the services. We don’t arrange these trades ourselves.
How to prepare
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Starting with a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To arrange the visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
About our bespoke kitchens in Gillette Corner
Kitchens in period houses bring their own challenges. Walls lean, corners are not square and floors slope, which shows up quickly along a run of cabinets. We scribe the cabinets to the walls and set them level on adjustable feet or a plinth, so the worktop you choose can sit level. If you’re living with open shelves with cupboards below and room for everything in the kitchen, kitchens made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
A larger semi or detached house may have room for a utility area or boot room by the back door. Much of the housing around Gillette Corner is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Tall cupboards for the washing machine, coats and cleaning things can be made to match the kitchen. Plumbing for any appliance is for your plumber.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

What else we make in Gillette Corner
Your questions about bespoke kitchens in Gillette Corner
I live near Syon Lane station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hounslow and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in Gillette Corner?
Yes, we work across Hounslow, Gillette Corner included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings can require listed building consent for works that affect their character.
What does a bespoke kitchen cost?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. A small galley and a large kitchen with a larder and island are very different jobs, so we price it after the design visit. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Can I have a kitchen island?
Yes, where there’s space. We measure at the design visit to check there’s room to walk round it and open doors, and suggest another layout if it would crowd the room.
Materials and finishes
Larder and dresser units
A dresser pairs cupboards below with open shelves above, made to fit its wall.
Plinths and scribe strips
These details are what make a kitchen look built for an older room.
Bespoke kitchens for homes in Gillette Corner
In the streets around Gillette Corner, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 51%) and the years since 2000 (about 20%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The Osterley Park Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Gillette Corner. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home is on or just off a main road, it helps to mention it. We can then plan where the van will stop.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Brentford and Isleworth Quaker Meeting House, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. Living in a block of flats near Syon Lane station? Then check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.

Around Gillette Corner

What affects the price in Gillette Corner
Several things affect the price:
- How big the furniture is
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Parking near your home
- Doors and drawers, and how many
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. Let us know about parking at the design visit, so it can be planned.
Helping us understand the room
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- How you want to use the space
For a quote for bespoke kitchens in Gillette Corner, fill in our short enquiry form. Let us know which room it is and roughly what you have in mind, with sizes if you have them. Next comes a design visit, followed by a written quote.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
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, so fitting day is planned around them.
Do you need bespoke kitchens in Gillette Corner?
Flats with awkward kitchen walls are another reason. We can design for a galley, an alcove or a corner, so every run is used.
Here’s what bespoke kitchens can help with:
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
- A kitchen that fits an uneven room
- A layout for a small or awkward room
- A painted dresser for the kitchen
If you live in a period home close to St Mary's Church, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Real projects you can actually look at
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
