Kitchens in Hanworth: local notes
Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up about 35% of the housing in the neighbourhood around Hanworth, with about 31% built between 1973 and 1999, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. The Hanworth Road Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Hanworth. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you’re unsure. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Richmond upon Thames sets its own rules. If your road in Hanworth falls in a zone, the van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Tell us what the parking is like at the measuring visit.
The wider area includes historic houses like Strawberry Hill House, about 2 miles east. For a period home anywhere nearby, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top. If your children go to Buckingham Primary School or a school nearby, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off. For an older house near St Richard's Church, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top.
Hanworth is within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, about 2 miles north-east of Twickenham. We cover Hanworth as part of our work across Richmond upon Thames. We list Hanworth among 19 places we cover in Richmond upon Thames.

How we make bespoke kitchens for Hanworth
Some kitchens suit a dresser, with cupboards below and open shelves above, and it suits many period homes. Each dresser is made for its wall, scribed to follow it and painted to suit the room. If your home has a kitchen planned around your appliances and a painted kitchen in a colour you choose, that’s what kitchens are for, made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
The boiler in many post-war homes sits in the kitchen, on a wall or in a cupboard. Many homes around Hanworth were built between 1945 and the early 1970s, so the design often has to work around one. Any cabinet around a boiler keeps the clearances its maker asks for, with any boiler work left to a Gas Safe engineer.
Everything we agree during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Let us know how parking works on your street
- Share the layout with your other trades
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Think about how you cook and what you store
The appliances you have chosen come with their own care instructions, and the worktop you chose will have its own care advice too.
Choose your appliances before the design is finalised. We size the spaces around them, and changing them later can mean changing the units.
What it is made from
Doors and drawer fronts
We make doors in a style that suits the house and paint them to your choice.
Spray-painted finish
Spray-painted cabinets arrive finished, which keeps work in your home to fitting.
What it costs
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The internal fittings
- The overall size of the piece
- How many doors and drawers there are
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.
What to send when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- What the furniture needs to hold
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.
Questions we are often asked
Do you cover homes near Hampton station?
Yes. We cover all of Richmond upon Thames and the rest of London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
Is Hanworth in the area you cover for bespoke kitchens?
Yes, Hanworth is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Richmond upon Thames and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
What are the kitchen cabinets made of?
MDF for smooth painted parts and birch plywood for drawer boxes and shelves. The finish is spray painted in our workshop or hand painted, in colours agreed with you.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we can’t advise on it.
Do you handle the gas and electrics for the kitchen?
No, that work is for other trades. Plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician, while we make and fit the cabinets.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
How fitting day works
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fixing into concrete takes a heavy-duty drill and makes some noise, so if neighbours are close, a note before fitting day can help. Fitting day is planned around any building rules on noisy work. We tidy as we go.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and how you cook.
- At the design visit we measure up and plan the cabinets around the worktop, sink and appliances you choose.
- You receive a written quote for the kitchen cabinets. Plumbing, gas and electrics aren’t part of it: those are for your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician.
- The cabinets are made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day the cabinets go in, scribed and set level, ready for your plumber, electrician and Gas Safe registered engineer to do their part.
Before we arrive
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Keep pets in another room while we work
Arranging a design visit
It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, particularly with rough sizes. To share them, fill in our short enquiry form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
