Bespoke kitchens for homes in Hayes
Kitchens in period houses bring their own challenges. Few walls are flat, and floors often fall away from the walls, 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. We make kitchens from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are tall larder storage and a kitchen for a room that isn’t square.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Hayes, many kitchens have a garden door and a window that shape the layout. Cabinets, a larder and a dresser can be made to suit the layout. The worktop, sink and appliances you choose are built in, with plumbing and electrics left to your plumber and electrician.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the kitchen designed for your room, what it is made from and how it’s finished.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the measuring visit, and we’ll plan the fitting around them.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, often to make the most of a small or awkward room. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Made-to-measure kitchens in Hayes
In the area around Hayes, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 72%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 16%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Hayes, Historic England’s list includes The Rectory (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south, and Hayes Grove Cottage (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south-east. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. About 72% of homes in the streets around Hayes date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Many houses of that era have had the kitchen extended or knocked through, so the cabinets are made for today’s layout.
If your children go to Hawes Down Primary School or a school nearby, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off. If your home is one of the older houses near St Mary the Virgin, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top. Bromley Palace, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.
Hayes is about 4 miles east of Orpington, part of the London Borough of Bromley. Design visits and fitting in Hayes can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. Across Bromley, we cover Hayes.

Near you in Hayes

How we price bespoke kitchens
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- How many doors and drawers there are
- The internal fittings
- How big the furniture is
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
What we need to know
Some details help us understand the job before we visit. It is useful to include:
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Your postcode and the borough
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved

Before and after fitting day
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Think about how you cook and what you store
- Check stairs, hallways and lifts for access
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
Once the kitchen is fitted, the paint needs time to cure fully. Go easy on the painted surfaces at first, and wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. After that, a soft cloth and mild soapy water is enough.
Line up your other trades in good time. The pipes, cables and gas supply need to suit the layout, and it is easier when everyone works from the same design.
Fitting day, step by step
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made at our workshop come in next. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturdays can be arranged.
- You tell us about the room and how you use it. Larders, dressers and islands can all be part of it, where space allows.
- At the design visit we measure the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the layout.
- A quote follows, covering the design and finish, ready for you to check.
- The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are made at our workshop. The materials are moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home; plumbing, gas and electrics are done by your plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician. We do not arrange these trades ourselves.
Before we arrive
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
How to get a quote
Rough sizes are fine at the start. We measure everything properly during the design visit. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.

Your questions about bespoke kitchens in Hayes
Is parking a problem for fitting in Hayes?
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 let us know about parking during the design visit.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
What materials do you use for kitchens?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray painting or hand painting. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
Do you handle the gas and electrics for the kitchen?
No. We are carpenters, so we make and fit the cabinets. Plumbing is done by your plumber, gas by a Gas Safe registered engineer and electrics by your electrician, and we design around where their work goes.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, particularly with rough sizes. You can send them when you send us a few details through our contact form.
How it’s made
Spray-painted finish
For a sleek look, spray painting works well, and it’s finished before fitting day.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting can be done in your home after fitting. It’s easy to touch up later.
