Bespoke kitchens for homes in South Wimbledon
A larder cupboard can hold more than a run of wall units. A larder can have shelves, deep drawers and racks, planned around what you store. Built into an alcove or the end of a wall, it puts awkward space to work. Typical reasons to get in touch are spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets and spaces sized for your oven and fridge, and the answer is made in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Narrow hallways in Victorian and Edwardian terraces set limits on how long a cabinet or panel can be. Around South Wimbledon, a large share of homes were built before 1919, so we measure the route to the kitchen along with the room itself. Long runs arrive in sections and are joined in place, with the joins placed where they won’t show.

Kitchens in South Wimbledon homes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around South Wimbledon were built before 1919 (about 66%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 15%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for kitchens, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. The South Park Gardens Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of South Wimbledon. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. About 20% of households in the streets around South Wimbledon live in flats in converted or shared houses, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, and the way in often goes up shared stairs. A lease can require consent for alterations, so it’s worth checking yours first.
Southside House, about 1.6 miles west, 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. For families living near Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, a drawer set aside for lunch boxes and water bottles keeps mornings calmer.

From workshop to your room
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections made in our workshop come in next, a piece at a time. How long 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. Where a period house has been split into flats, the way in often goes through shared parts, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. Each section is sized for the tightest door or turn. Saturdays can be arranged.
- First, you tell us about the kitchen you have and the one you want.
- We visit, measure the walls, floor and ceiling, and go through the design, including where the sink and appliances will go.
- We send a quote that sets out the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- The units are made and finished in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- 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. We do not arrange those trades, so it’s useful to book them early.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
Ask for a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. A written quote follows the visit for you to look over. To arrange the visit, fill in our short enquiry form.

Why bespoke in South Wimbledon?
Off-the-shelf kitchens are quicker to buy and usually cost less, and in a square modern room they can work well. Where walls lean and floors slope, they can be hard to fit neatly. Bespoke is a bigger investment, built around the space you have. Alcoves and recesses in period houses are rarely a standard width or depth, so off-the-shelf pieces either do not fit or leave a gap either side. Furniture made for the space fills it.
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To start, use our contact form.
Why choose us
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Saturday work by prior arrangement
- Workshop-made and fitted by us
- More than 300 projects completed

- Spray-painted finish

What it costs
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- 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. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Getting in touch
When you contact us, these help most:
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Your postcode and the borough
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
If you know what you want, say so; 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, drop us a line using the contact form.
Questions from South Wimbledon
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Wimbledon station?
Yes. We cover all of Merton and the rest of London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
My home in South Wimbledon is a period house with walls that are not straight. Is that a problem?
Yes, that is normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
How much time does fitting need?
Every kitchen is different. How long fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.
Will you connect the sink and appliances?
No, that work is for other trades. Plumbing, gas and electrics are for your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician, and we fit the cabinets.
