How we price bespoke kitchens
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- How many doors and drawers there are
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Helping us understand the room
Some details help us understand the job before we visit. It’s useful to include:
- Examples of the look you are after
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A quote in writing follows the visit. To book one, use our contact form.

A larder cupboard can hold more than a run of wall units. A larder can have shelves, deep drawers and racks, sized to what you keep in them. In an alcove or at the end of a run, it can use space that would otherwise be wasted. We make kitchens from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are making the most of a galley kitchen and a kitchen for a room that isn’t square.
A good part of the housing around Harrow is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Many 1930s houses started with a small kitchen at the back that has since been extended or knocked through. A bespoke kitchen can be planned around the room as it is now.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

What happens on fitting day
In older rooms, the furniture usually has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- You get in touch and describe the kitchen you want.
- We visit to measure and discuss the layout and the finish, spray-painted or hand-painted.
- Your written quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish.
- We make the kitchen in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which suits kitchens and takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied on site and is easy to touch up later.
- Plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician; new paintwork needs gentle use while it cures.
Preparing the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
How to get a quote
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes 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 quote in writing.

Caring for painted furniture
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Talk to your other trades in good time
- Choose your appliances before the design is final
- Have damp sorted before fitting
- Make a note of what you use every day
Use the cooker hood or open a window when cooking, to keep steam off the cabinets. Good ventilation helps paintwork last.
Damp walls should be dealt with before cabinets are fitted. Cabinets against a damp wall can trap moisture, especially on a colder external wall.
Is it time for bespoke kitchens?
Often the call comes after building work has opened up the space. A new layout deserves a kitchen designed for it. The building work itself is for your builder.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- A kitchen island with room around it
- A larder for food and small appliances
- More storage in a small kitchen
- A kitchen that fits an uneven room
Living in a block of flats near Harrow-on-the-Hill station? Then it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
Questions from Harrow
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Harrow?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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. It’s useful to tell us about parking at the design visit.
How are bespoke kitchens priced?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Size, layout and finish all affect the price. To arrange a design visit, use our contact form.
How long will the kitchen take to fit?
Every kitchen is different. 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.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
Do you cover Harrow?
Yes. Our area is the whole of London: every borough and the City of London, and that includes Harrow.
Kitchens in Harrow: local notes
About 33% of the homes in the area around Harrow went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 27% before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. There are 16 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Harrow. Being near listed buildings does not make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. Around Harrow, about 27% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for the rest of London as a whole, about 10%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of kitchens.
Near listed buildings like Parish Church of St Mary, about 0.6 miles east of the centre of Harrow, older homes may keep original joinery that kitchens can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. For an older house near Church of St Peter, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout.
Harrow is one of London’s 33 local authority areas. Whether your home in Harrow is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, we measure the room as it is and design around it. We cover places right across the rest of London, large and small.
Every home in HA2, HA1, UB5 and HA3 is within our area for bespoke kitchens.
