Your questions about bespoke kitchens in North Greenwich
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in North Greenwich?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
My home in North Greenwich is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will a bespoke kitchen suit my uneven floor?
Yes. We scribe each cabinet to the wall and set it level on adjustable feet or a plinth, so the worktop you choose can sit level. That is a big part of why bespoke suits period homes.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Typically not. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
How we make bespoke kitchens for North Greenwich
We make kitchens to fit the room, not a catalogue of set sizes. Each cabinet is made to the real measurements of your walls, floor and ceiling, so the runs fit neatly from wall to wall. You decide the layout, the storage and the colour with us before anything is made in our workshop. If your home has spaces sized for your oven and fridge and a kitchen finished in your colours, that is what kitchens are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Homes built since 2000 rarely have a separate utility room, so a tall cupboard for laundry and cleaning things can help. Around North Greenwich, many homes were built since 2000. Plumbing for appliances is for your plumber.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Pricing bespoke kitchens in North Greenwich
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- The overall size of the piece
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
We don’t publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, naming the materials and finish. To arrange a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Before the design visit
Ahead of the design visit, we will typically ask about:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
To get a quote, fill in our short enquiry form and let us know which room you have in mind and what you want the furniture to do. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
Made-to-measure kitchens in North Greenwich
About 52% of the homes in the neighbourhood around North Greenwich went up since 2000, and about 24% between 1973 and 1999, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. 7 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of North Greenwich. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London since it reached the outer boroughs on 29 August 2023. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in North Greenwich is covered by it. We plan parking and access with you during the design visit.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Church of St Nicholas, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. For an older house near Church of St Nicholas, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout. If you live near Mudchute Park and Farm, a cupboard by the back door for boots and coats can be built in with the kitchen.

Tips worth knowing
Looking after painted furniture is simple. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Mention any parking or lift rules
- Make sure an island won’t crowd the room
- Deal with damp walls first
- Wipe up spills promptly
Do not leave water sitting on painted cabinets, especially around the sink and dishwasher. Moisture-resistant MDF copes well, but standing water is best avoided.
It’s useful to know which appliances you want early. Their sizes shape the cabinets, so late changes can be awkward.
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Deep pan drawers need a strong box, so birch plywood is a good choice.
Spray-painted finish
With a spray finish, the painting is done in the workshop, so there is less to do on site.

What else we make in North Greenwich
Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
What happens on fitting day
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections made in our workshop come in next, one at a time. How long fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Parking at newer developments can be restricted, with private bays or loading areas, so tell us what applies at the measuring visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturdays can be arranged.
- It starts with a short note from you about the room.
- We visit to plan the layout and check how the cabinets will get into the room. Tell us about parking too, as a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the cabinets, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to come in through your doors.
- The cabinets are fitted in your home with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish; plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Arranging a design visit
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space. To send them over, send us a few details through our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
