Tips worth knowing
People planning bespoke kitchens often ask about these. They help whatever the room:
- List what needs a home in the kitchen
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Measure the route into the kitchen
- Make sure an island won’t crowd the room
The appliances you have chosen come with their own care instructions, and the worktop you chose will have its own care advice too.
It is useful to know which appliances you want early. Their sizes shape the cabinets, and changing them later can mean changing the units.
Bespoke kitchens for homes in Muswell Hill
Our bespoke kitchens are fitted in Muswell Hill and all over London. We begin with a design visit, measuring the room and planning the layout, then a quote in writing. Once agreed, the kitchen is built in our workshop and fitted in your home. The time the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days, so you can plan around it. We make kitchens from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are an island where space allows and a painted dresser for the kitchen.
In a period terrace, the front door, hall and any turn into the kitchen limit the size of each piece. A large share of the homes around Muswell Hill date from before 1919, so we measure the route to the kitchen not just the room. Long runs arrive in sections and are joined in place.
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.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through.
Fitting day, step by step
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Hallways in period houses are often narrow, and the stairs turn sharply, so kitchens are made in sections sized to get through. Floors, stairs and doorways are covered before anything is carried through, and the sections are joined and scribed in the room.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and how you cook.
- We visit to measure the room and go through the layout, the storage and where the appliances will sit.
- A written quote follows for the cabinets, materials and finish. Plumbing, gas and electrics aren’t part of it: those are for your plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician.
- We build the cabinets, doors and drawer fronts in 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 fitting day
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Starting with a design visit

Questions from Muswell Hill
Can you fit bespoke kitchens to the uneven walls of an older house in Muswell Hill?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. We cover all of Haringey and the rest of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room.
What happens when you come to measure?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a written quote follows.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Do pictures help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf kitchens are quicker to buy and typically cost less and they suit many newer homes. In an older house with uneven walls, they tend to need filler panels and leave gaps. Bespoke is a bigger investment, built around the space you have. Tall ceilings in older homes leave a band of empty wall above standard furniture, wasting space that could hold things you rarely use. Fitted furniture can go all the way up.
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.
