Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Albany Park station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Ruxley?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Can I choose my own worktop and appliances?
The worktop, sink and appliances are the ones you choose, and we design the cabinets around them. Your quote sets out what’s included.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we will see what we can do.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and discuss the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
Do you do the plumbing and electrics?
No, those are jobs for other trades. Your plumber connects the sink and dishwasher, a Gas Safe registered engineer handles any gas, and your electrician does the wiring, and we fit the cabinets.
About our bespoke kitchens in Ruxley
Kitchens in period houses bring their own challenges. Walls lean, corners aren’t square and floors slope, which shows up quickly along a run of cabinets. Each cabinet is trimmed to the wall and levelled on a plinth or adjustable feet giving a level line for the worktop you choose. If your home has a layout for a small or awkward room and cabinets that suit lean and sloping walls, that is what kitchens are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
If you live in one of the post-war homes around Ruxley, 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. Cabinets are made from moisture-resistant MDF or birch plywood, with the finish agreed in your quote.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

What prompts bespoke kitchens in Ruxley
Older kitchens often lack storage. A larder or tall units can change how much you can store without crowding the room.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A kitchen finished in your colours
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- A larder for food and small appliances
- Cabinets built around the appliances you choose
If you live in a period home close to St Botolph's Church, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.

How it’s made
Spray-painted finish
We spray paint in the workshop for a smooth, factory-like finish.
Moisture-resistant MDF
We use moisture-resistant MDF for many kitchen doors and panels, as it stays stable and takes paint well.

Tips worth knowing
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. These habits help most:
- List what needs a home in the kitchen
- Allow space to walk round an island
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Share the layout with your other trades
Don’t leave water sitting on painted cabinets, particularly near the sink. Moisture-resistant MDF copes well, but standing water is best avoided.
Leasehold flats can have rules about alterations, so check your lease early. We cannot advise on your lease.
Made-to-measure kitchens in Ruxley
About 51% of the homes in the streets around Ruxley went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 20% between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Within a mile of the centre of Ruxley, 4 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mainly about the outside of buildings. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 42% of households in the area around Ruxley, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.

From workshop to your room
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 how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Parking near post-war estates can depend on residents’ bays and estate rules, so it is useful to tell us at the design visit. On the day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- We start with how you cook and what the kitchen needs to hold. Larders, dressers and islands can all be part of it, where space allows.
- At the design visit we measure the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the layout.
- A quote follows, covering the design and finish.
- The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are built in our workshop.
- We fit the cabinets in your home; plumbing, gas and electrics are done by your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician.
Preparing the room
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
Arranging a design visit
Getting a quote starts with some details: the room, rough measurements and some pictures if you have them. When you’re ready, get in touch through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a quote in writing.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We can’t give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Let us know about it when you contact us.
