What happens on fitting day
At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together. The time the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are usually straightforward, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. Kitchens arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- You get in touch and let us know 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, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician.
- We build the cabinets, doors and drawer fronts in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home, working around your plumber, your electrician and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Preparing the room
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through

Bespoke kitchens in Kingston Vale
We make kitchens for homes in Kingston Vale and across London. It starts with a design visit to measure and talk through the layout, followed by a quote. Once agreed, the kitchen is made at our workshop and fitted in your home.

We make kitchens from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are tall larder storage and spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets.
A good part of the housing around Kingston Vale 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.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. The finish is stated too, whether that is spray painting or hand painting.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Ready-made ranges rarely include a larder or dresser that fits a particular alcove. We can build them to fit, with the same finish as the cabinets. Standard widths rarely add up to the length of a real wall, so fitted furniture is made to the wall’s own length. It can also go up to the ceiling rather than stopping short.
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. A larger piece means more material and more time. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Why us?
- Finished by spray or by hand
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Saturday visits and fitting by prior arrangement

FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Kingston Vale
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Kingston Vale?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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 is useful to tell us about parking at the design visit.
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in Kingston Vale?
Yes. We cover all of Merton and the rest of London, and Kingston Vale is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
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.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
It is made in sections, sized for the route along with the room itself. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the design visit.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Can I send pictures before the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
Could you do it yourself?
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.

Parking near your home is worth mentioning during the design visit.
