Bespoke kitchens for your home in Slade Green
Bespoke kitchens for homes in Slade Green
Our bespoke kitchens are fitted in Slade Green and all over London. We begin with a design visit, measuring the room and planning the layout, followed by a quote. Once agreed, the kitchen is made in our workshop and fitted in your home. How long 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, so you can plan around it. If your home has spaces sized for your oven and fridge and spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets, kitchens made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
In a kitchen, the paint colour sets the feel of the room. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish from the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site and touched up easily. Whatever your home in Slade Green is like, the choice is yours.
The quote comes in writing, so you can read it at your own pace. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

What prompts bespoke kitchens in Slade Green
An extension or a knocked-through room is a common starting point. A new room needs a kitchen planned for its shape and light, and building work itself is for your builder.
Bespoke kitchens can help with:
- Spaces sized for your oven and fridge
- Extra cupboard space
- Cabinets that suit lean and sloping walls
- A painted kitchen in a colour you choose
If your children go to St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School or a school nearby, planning a kitchen around family routines, with a place for school things, pays off.
Before you choose who makes it
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
What happens on fitting day
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. On fitting day, each piece is fitted to the room’s own walls, scribed where walls bow and levelled where floors slope. Spray-painted pieces arrive finished; hand-painted ones can be finished on site.
- To begin, tell us about the room on our contact form; a brief note on the room and the kitchen you have in mind is plenty.
- At the design visit we measure up and plan the cabinets around the worktop, sink and appliances you choose.
- A quote in writing follows for the cabinets, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinets in your home, working around your plumber, your electrician and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Preparing the room
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Getting a quote
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.

Caring for painted furniture
People planning bespoke kitchens often ask about these. They’re worth knowing before and after fitting:
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Share the layout with your other trades
- Measure the route into the kitchen
Use the cooker hood or open a window when cooking, to keep steam off the cabinets. Ventilation helps the whole kitchen.
Leasehold flats can have rules about alterations, so check your lease early. Your lease is something to check with whoever manages the building.
Materials and finishes
Plinths and scribe strips
A plinth hides adjustable feet and lets the cabinets sit level. Scribe strips follow the wall.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done on site after fitting. It is easy to touch up later.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
Slade Green homes and bespoke kitchens
About 27% of the homes in the area around Slade Green went up between 1973 and 1999, and about 27% since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. The centre of Slade Green is within about a quarter of a mile of the Oak Road Conservation Area. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need permission. The council can confirm if you’re not sure. Newer homes are more common around Slade Green than across Bexley: about 27% date from 2000 onwards, against about 10%, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Newer homes often have stud walls and compact rooms, so fixings and sizes are planned with that in mind.
For a flat near Slade Green station, the route in is measured along with the room itself, and the sections are sized to fit it. The wider area includes historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.1 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, cabinets will be scribed to walls and floors that are rarely true.

Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Slade Green?
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. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Is Slade Green in the area you cover for bespoke kitchens?
Yes. Slade Green is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Bexley and London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
What happens during the design visit?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
