How fitting works for bespoke kitchens
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving everything tidy. How long the fitting takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know during the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You tell us 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. Let us know about parking too, as a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension.
- A written quote follows, covering the cabinets, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are made at 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 registered engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager

Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, along with rough sizes. To share them, fill in our short enquiry form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.

About our bespoke kitchens in Spring Park
We make kitchens to fit the room, not a catalogue of set sizes. Each cabinet is made to the real measurements of your walls, floor and ceiling, so there are no filler panels covering tricky gaps. The layout, storage and finish are planned with you before anything is made at our workshop. Most enquiries start with a kitchen island with room around it and a larder for food and small appliances; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Islands only work where there is room to walk round them. Interwar, semi-detached and detached homes make up a big part of the housing around Spring Park, and some of those kitchens have been opened up enough to take one. The space around any island is measured at the measuring visit, along with where water and power would need to reach. Services to an island are for your plumber and electrician.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. You’ll see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

Made-to-measure kitchens in Spring Park
About 62% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Spring Park went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 22% between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how kitchens are fixed and fitted. Near the centre of Spring Park, Historic England’s list includes Church of All Saints (Grade II), under half a mile south, and The White Lodge (Grade II), under half a mile north-east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling may need listed building consent. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. More than half of the homes in the area around Spring Park (about 62%) date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Interwar houses often started with a small kitchen that has since been extended or opened up, so the kitchen is designed for the room as it is now.
If you live in a flat close to West Wickham station, kitchens are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. If your children go to Forest Academy or a school nearby, a kitchen with a spot for school letters and lunch boxes makes mornings easier.
Spring Park is about 4 miles north-west of Thornton Heath, in the London Borough of Croydon. Homes in Spring Park are part of the area we cover for bespoke kitchens, as part of our work in every London borough. Spring Park is one of the places in Croydon where we make bespoke kitchens, and the borough has 32 places on our list.
Every home in CR0, BR4 and BR3 is within our area for bespoke kitchens, from the main roads to the quieter streets. Our area takes in homes on streets such as Ash Road, Lake Road and Kent Road, along with the roads around them, for bespoke kitchens and any of our other fitted furniture. If you’re just outside Spring Park, we also cover Coney Hall (1 mile south-east), West Wickham (1 mile east), Eden Park (1 mile north), Shirley (1 mile west) and Monks Orchard (1 mile north-west). We also make bespoke kitchens in nearby places such as Thornton Heath (4 miles north-west), Croydon (3 miles west), Coulsdon (6 miles south-west), Purley (5 miles south-west), Broad Green (3 miles west) and Upper Norwood (4 miles north-west).

Questions from Spring Park
Is parking a problem for fitting in Spring Park?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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 during the design visit.
Do you cover homes near West Wickham station?
Yes. We cover all of Croydon and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Is there room for an island in my kitchen?
If the room is big enough, yes. At the design visit we check the clearances around it. If it would crowd the kitchen, we’ll say so.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house does not normally need it. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We can’t advise on leases, so please check yours.
When you need someone else
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Any work on the gas supply
- Painting the walls around the kitchen
- Plumbing, which is for your plumber
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can drop us a line using the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.
Boards, parts and finishes
- Hand-painted finish
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Larders and dressers
- Islands where space allows
- Spray-painted finish
Materials and finishes
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting can be done in your home, once the kitchen is fitted. It is easy to touch up later.
Larder and dresser units
Dressers suit many period kitchens, and each is made for its wall.
The problems bespoke kitchens solve
In many older homes, ready-made units struggle with lean and slope. Gaps and wavy lines are hard to hide, while scribed and levelled cabinets keep the lines true.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- A painted dresser for the kitchen
- Spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
If you live near Millers Pond, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.
Choosing a carpenter
- How parking will work on your street
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors

What else we make in Spring Park
What it costs
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- The overall size of the piece
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside at the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
Helping us understand the room
Ahead of the design visit, we will normally ask about:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- How you want to use the space
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, when we have measured up and talked through the design. For a quote, message us from the contact page.
