Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Make a note of what you use every day
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
- Think about how the cabinets will get in
- Line up your plumber, electrician and Gas Safe registered engineer early
We adjust the doors and drawers as part of the fitting. Houses move a little with the seasons, and hinges can be adjusted to keep the gaps even.
Measure the route into the kitchen as well as the room. Workshop-made furniture comes in sections sized for stairs, hallways and lifts, so let us know about any narrow spots.
Bespoke kitchens in Raynes Park
We make the cabinets; the worktop, sink and appliances are the ones you choose. Knowing the appliance sizes early lets us leave the right spaces, so everything fits as it should. Your quote sets out the materials and finish. We make kitchens from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about a kitchen that fits an uneven room and open shelves with cupboards below.
A larger semi or detached house may have room for a utility area or boot room by the back door. Much of the housing around Raynes Park is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Tall cupboards for the washing machine, coats and cleaning things can be made to match the kitchen. Plumbing for any appliance is for your plumber.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Bespoke kitchens in Raynes Park: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Raynes Park, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 48%) and before 1919 (about 25%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for kitchens, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. 6 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of central Raynes Park. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Merton sets its own rules. Where a street in Raynes Park is controlled, a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension from the council. We ask about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
The wider area includes historic houses like Southside House, about 0.9 miles north. For a period home anywhere nearby, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true. If you live in a flat close to Raynes Park station, the route in is measured along with the room itself, and the sections are sized to fit it.
Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton, about 2 miles north-east of Wimbledon. Anywhere in Raynes Park, it works the same way: we visit and measure, send a written quote, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. We cover places right across Merton.
Design visits and fitting in SW20, KT3 and SM4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If your home is on a street like Gore Road, Edna Road and Wyke Road, or close by, we can arrange a design visit for bespoke kitchens. Raynes Park is near the A238 and A298; on busy main roads, unloading kitchens takes a little planning. Other places close to Raynes Park include West Barnes (1 mile south-west), Bushey Mead (1 mile north-east), Cannon Hill (1 mile east), Motspur Park (1 mile north-west) and Wimbledon Chase (1 mile north-east). Other parts of Merton we cover include Wimbledon (2 miles north-east), Colliers Wood (3 miles east), Eastfields (3 miles east), South Wimbledon (2 miles north-east), Merton Abbey (2 miles east) and Mitcham (3 miles east).
Near you in Raynes Park
In Raynes Park, that includes homes near Raynes Park High School, The Raynes Park Tavern and Ursuline Preparatory School, among other places. Raynes Park has its own railway station: Raynes Park station. Nearby you’ll also find Atkinson Morley Hospital (1 mile north) and Wimbledon Museum (1.5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Raynes Park include Derwent Floodwash.
Fitting day, step by step
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there is usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Interwar houses normally have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it is going.
- You let us know about the kitchen and where it is in your home.
- 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.
- We send a quote in writing.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, sized to come in through your doors.
- We carry everything in and fit the cabinets, while your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics.
Before fitting day
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
Getting a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, use our contact form.
Advice

Why people ask for bespoke kitchens in Raynes Park
Many people come to us because a standard kitchen doesn’t suit their room. Off-the-shelf cabinets come in set widths, and the gaps get filled with panels. A bespoke kitchen is made to the room from the start.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- Cabinets for a narrow kitchen
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
- Spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
If you live near Cannon Hill Common, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.
Choosing a carpenter
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- Whether they measure the room themselves

Your questions about bespoke kitchens in Raynes Park
Do you make bespoke kitchens for homes in Raynes Park?
Yes. We cover all of Merton and the rest of London, and Raynes Park is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
Do you cover homes near Raynes Park station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do you do the plumbing and electrics?
No. We are carpenters, so we make and fit the cabinets. Plumbing is done by your plumber, gas by a Gas Safe registered engineer and electrics by your electrician, and we design around where their work goes.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
What happens when you come to measure?
It’s 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, then send a written quote.
