Bespoke kitchens in Tooting Bec, Wandsworth

Bespoke kitchens for homes in Tooting Bec

Islands work well in kitchens with room to walk around them. We check there’s comfortable space on every side, and in a narrow kitchen an island can make the room harder to use. Where space is tight, a peninsula or a longer run may suit better. Typical reasons to get in touch are a kitchen for a room that isn’t square and a kitchen finished in your colours, and the answer is made at our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.

Around Tooting Bec, a large share of homes date from before 1919, and in a Victorian or Edwardian terrace, the kitchen is often in the narrow rear part of the house. Cabinets are scribed to walls that wander and levelled on floors that slope. The worktop, sink and appliances are the ones you choose.

Everything we agree at the measuring visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

How fitting works for bespoke kitchens

You won’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as agreed at the measuring visit. After that, it is over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. The time 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. 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. The sections are sized for the narrowest point on the route. Saturdays can be arranged.

1. You get in touch with some details about the kitchen.
2. We visit, measure and discuss the layout, larder, dresser or island.
3. You receive a written quote.
4. Everything is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
5. We fit the kitchen in your home, while your plumber, an engineer on the Gas Safe Register and your electrician do the plumbing, gas and electrics. It helps to have those trades booked in good time.

Getting ready for fitting day

• Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
• Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
• Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance

Starting with a design visit

Advice

• Spray-Painted vs Hand-Painted Furniture

What affects the price in Tooting Bec

The price for your room depends on:

• Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
• Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
• The internal fittings
• Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish

There is no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote. To start, use our contact form.

Getting in touch

Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:

• Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
• Your postcode and the borough
• Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
• Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall

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 that follows sets it out. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
