Bespoke kitchens in St Ann's
We are carpenters, so we make and fit the cabinets, while other trades handle the services. Your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics, and we plan the cabinets around where their work goes. If you’re living with extra cupboard space and spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets, that’s what kitchens are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a house built before 1919, a wall that looks solid may be lath and plaster. With a large share of the homes around St Ann's dating from then, each wall is checked before deciding where heavy cabinets go. Where a wall will not carry the weight, open shelves or tall floor-standing cupboards can take over.

FAQs: bespoke kitchens in St Ann's
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in St Ann's?
Yes, St Ann's is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Haringey and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Do you cover homes near Seven Sisters station?
Yes. We cover all of Haringey and the rest of London. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you build an island in my kitchen?
Yes, where there’s space. At the design visit we check the clearances around it. If it would crowd the kitchen, we will say so.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the measuring visit.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Neither choice is right for every home. If the room is square and the budget is tight, a ready-made kitchen may do the job. For period homes, awkward rooms or a painted look, bespoke tends to earn its place. Off-the-shelf furniture is made for flat walls and level floors, which older houses rarely have, so you end up with gaps, wobbles and units that don’t meet the skirting. Fitted furniture is scribed to the wall instead.
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

What affects the price in St Ann's
What you pay depends on:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The number of doors and drawers
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
What helps most when you first contact us:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a written quote.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Why people ask for bespoke kitchens in St Ann's
Often the call comes after building work has opened up the space. A new layout deserves a kitchen designed for it. The building work itself is for your builder.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- Extra cupboard space
- Spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets
- Open shelves with cupboards below
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
If you live in a period home close to St Ann's Church, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top.
Choosing a carpenter
- How parking will work on your street
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
Fitting day, step by step
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving everything tidy. How long the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. If your hall still has its original tiles or boards, they’re covered before any carrying starts. Fixings into older walls are made carefully, as lath and plaster can crack if treated roughly. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- First, you tell us about the room.
- The design visit covers measuring and planning the layout.
- You receive a written quote.
- Everything is built in our workshop.
- We fit the kitchen in your home, while your plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics. It is useful to have those trades booked in good time.
How to prepare
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Tell us about parking near your home
Ask for a quote
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote for you to look over. To arrange the visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
