What affects the price in Sidcup
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Parking near your home
- The number of doors and drawers
- The width and height of the space
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- How you want to use the space
Rough sizes are fine at the start. We measure everything properly at the design visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To arrange it, fill in our short enquiry form and let us know about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
How we make bespoke kitchens for Sidcup
We make kitchens for homes in Sidcup and across London. We begin with a design visit, measuring the room and planning the layout, followed by a quote. The cabinets are built in our workshop and fitted in your home. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote, so you can plan around it. If your home has a painted kitchen in a colour you choose and a kitchen for a room that isn’t square, that’s what kitchens are for, made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
If you live in one of the post-war homes around Sidcup, kitchens are often galleys or small separate rooms. Tall cupboards, a larder and wall cabinets taken to the ceiling add a lot of storage. Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood keep the cabinets stable, with the finish agreed in your quote.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

Your questions about bespoke kitchens in Sidcup
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Sidcup station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you build an island in my kitchen?
Where space allows, yes. There has to be comfortable space on every side, and we measure for it during the design visit. If the room is narrow, we will suggest other layouts.
How are bespoke kitchens priced?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we’ve measured. To get started, drop us a line using the contact form.
Do you do the plumbing and electrics?
No. We make and fit the kitchen cabinets. Your plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics, and we design around where their work goes.
Can you fit cabinets to walls that aren’t straight?
Yes. Each cabinet is trimmed to the wall and levelled, to give a level line for the worktop. That’s a big part of why bespoke suits period homes.
Do you need bespoke kitchens in Sidcup?
People also want a kitchen that is built to last and can be repainted, which appeals if you’re staying put. Hand-painted finishes are easy to touch up over the years.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- Extra cupboard space
- A layout for a small or tricky room
- A pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers
- An island where space allows
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Number 33 (farm Cottage) and Number 35, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent.
Choosing a carpenter
- Real projects you can actually look at
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- Will the quote be in writing?
Kitchens in Sidcup homes
In the area around Sidcup, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 30%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 20%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The Halfway Street Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Sidcup. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. Purpose-built flats are home to about 40% of households in the area around Sidcup, based on Census 2021. For a flat, kitchens are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.
If you live in a period home close to Holy Trinity Church, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout. If you live near Waring Park, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.

Fitting day, step by step
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. In a post-war house, the hall and stairs are normally straight and simple, so carrying in is rarely difficult. The way in is still measured, along with the room. The pieces are assembled, levelled and fixed in place.
- 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. Tell us about parking too, as a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension.
- We send a written quote.
- The cabinets are made 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, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics.
Preparing the room
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Keep pets in another room while we work
How to get a quote
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, send us a few details through our contact form.
