Bespoke kitchens for your home in Putney Vale
About our bespoke kitchens in Putney Vale
A bespoke kitchen is built around the room you have. Every unit is sized from careful measurements taken during the design visit, so the runs fit neatly from wall to wall. You decide the layout, the storage and the colour with us, and the kitchen is made in our workshop before it is fitted. If you are living with a layout for a small or awkward room and cabinets built around the appliances you choose, kitchens made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
If you live in one of the post-war homes around Putney Vale, the kitchen may be a galley or a small separate room. Taking cabinets up to the ceiling and adding a tall larder makes a big difference. Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood keep the cabinets stable, painted in a colour agreed with you.
The furniture is built in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so every detail can be checked first.

Bespoke kitchens for homes in Putney Vale
Homes built between 1945 and 1972 make up about 71% of the housing in the area around Putney Vale, with about 12% built between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Putney Vale include Dorich House (Grade II), about 0.5 miles west. If your own home is listed, internal works that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. Where a home in Putney Vale is on or beside a main road, it is useful to mention that during the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live near Wimbledon Common, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design. For an older house near St John the Baptist, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.

How fitting day works
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made at the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Post-war blocks often have shared stairwells and lifts, so the furniture comes in sections that fit them. If the building has rules on lift use or working hours, it is useful to tell us at the measuring visit.
- You contact us about a bespoke kitchen.
- At the design visit we plan the kitchen and talk about colours and finish.
- Your written quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish.
- We make the kitchen in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF, which suits kitchens and takes paint well, and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied on site and is easy to touch up later.
- Plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician; new paintwork needs gentle use while it cures.

Advice
Questions from Putney Vale
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in Putney Vale?
Yes. We cover all of Wandsworth and the rest of London, and Putney Vale is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
I live near Raynes Park station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Wandsworth and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Typically not. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can need listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
Can I choose my own worktop and appliances?
The cabinets are designed for the worktop, sink and appliances you have picked. It helps to choose them before the design is final, and the quote confirms what’s included.
What happens when you come to measure?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs 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.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Tips worth knowing
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make a note of what you use every day
- Choose your appliances before the design is final
- Allow space to walk round an island
- Make sure walls are dry before cabinets go in
Let steam escape when you cook, as steam settling on cabinets over time is not good for any finish. Good ventilation helps paintwork last.
Line up your other trades in good time. The pipes, cables and gas supply need to suit the layout, so it helps if everyone knows the plan.
Is it time for bespoke kitchens?
Older kitchens often lack storage. A larder or tall units can change how much you can store without crowding the room.
Bespoke kitchens can help with:
- A kitchen for a room that is not square
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
For a flat near Raynes Park station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
What to check before you book
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- A quote in writing that sets out the job
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
