Bespoke kitchens in New Barnet
We are carpenters, so we make and fit the cabinets, while other trades handle the services. Your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics, so the design allows for pipes, cables and connections. If your home has a kitchen island with room around it and more storage in a small kitchen, kitchens made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Islands only work where there is room to walk round them. Around New Barnet, a big part of the housing is interwar, semi-detached or detached, and in an extended kitchen there may be space. The space around any island is measured during the design visit, along with where water and power would need to reach. Services to an island are for your plumber and electrician.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Made-to-measure kitchens in New Barnet
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 32% of the housing in the neighbourhood around New Barnet, with about 23% built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. TfL’s Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every part of London, Barnet included. Vans bringing furniture to New Barnet fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. We go through parking and access at the measuring visit. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. Where a home in New Barnet is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that at the design visit. We can then plan where the van will stop.
For an older house near Holy Trinity Lyonsdown, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true. If you live near Victoria Recreation Ground, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design. If your children go to St Mary's CofE Primary School or a school nearby, a drawer set aside for lunch boxes and water bottles keeps mornings calmer.
New Barnet is about 3 miles south of Finchley, within the London Borough of Barnet. Design visits and fitting in New Barnet can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. Across Barnet, we cover New Barnet, along with the rest of the borough.

What else we make in New Barnet
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is awkward, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
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, and standard units leave gaps.
Why bespoke in New Barnet?
Ready-made units are made to fixed sizes, so the room has to fit the units. Ours are made to fit the room, so the runs can fill the space properly. Bays, box rooms and stair bulkheads are where off-the-shelf furniture struggles most, and those are common in interwar houses. Built-in pieces are designed to fit them.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Why work with us in New Barnet

How we price bespoke kitchens
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- The overall size of the piece
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.
Helping us understand the room
There is no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
Rough sizes are fine at the start. We measure everything properly during the design visit. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in New Barnet?
Yes, New Barnet is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Barnet and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, and then we send a quote.
Do you cover homes near New Barnet station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Which worktops and appliances can I have?
The cabinets are designed for the worktop, sink and appliances you’ve picked. It helps to choose them before the design is final, and your quote sets out what’s included.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. Your lease is something we cannot advise on.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need someone to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
What happens on fitting day
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site, so it sits neatly against the room. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in.
- It starts with a short note from you about the room.
- At the design visit we measure the kitchen and the route in, including stairs, doorways and any lift.
- We send a quote in writing.
- In our workshop we build the kitchen from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in pieces that suit the route in.
- The cabinets are fitted in your home with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish; plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
Arranging a design visit
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, then send a written quote. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. To book a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
