How we make bespoke kitchens for West Wickham
An island can be a good addition where there’s space for one. We check there’s comfortable space on every side, because a cramped island makes a kitchen harder to work in. Where space is tight, a peninsula or a longer run may suit better. We make kitchens from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a central island in a larger kitchen and a pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers.
A larger semi or detached house may have room for a utility area or boot room by the back door. Around West Wickham, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing. Utility cupboards can be made in the same style and paint colour as the kitchen. Plumbing for any appliance is for your plumber.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
How it is made
Hand-painted finish
Some people like the character of a hand-painted kitchen in a period house.
Spray-painted finish
We spray paint in the workshop for a smooth, factory-like finish.

Before and after fitting day
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. These habits help most:
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Talk to your other trades in good time
- Let us know about parking at the measuring visit
- Pick the oven, fridge and dishwasher first
Don’t leave water sitting on painted cabinets, particularly near the sink. Moisture-resistant MDF copes well, but standing water is best avoided.
Line up your other trades in good time. The pipes, cables and gas supply need to suit the layout, and it is easier when everyone works from the same design.
Your questions about bespoke kitchens in West Wickham
Can you make bespoke kitchens for a home in West Wickham?
Yes. West Wickham is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Bromley and London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you cover homes near West Wickham station?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
How much time does fitting need?
Every kitchen is different. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
What happens on fitting day
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 the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are typically straightforward, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it is going.
- You contact us about a bespoke kitchen.
- At the design visit we plan the kitchen and talk about colours and finish.
- A written quote follows, with the finish agreed.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, and a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- We fit the cabinets in your home; a hand-painted finish is applied on site and is easy to touch up later.
- Treat new paint gently while it cures; the plumbing, gas and electrics are done by your own plumber, a Gas Safe registered engineer and your electrician.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
How to get a quote
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, particularly with rough measurements. To share them, drop us a line using the contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
Advice
Why people ask for bespoke kitchens in West Wickham
A common reason is a room that ready-made units don’t fit. Standard units are made in fixed sizes, and the gaps get filled with panels. A bespoke kitchen is made to the room from the start.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Open shelves with cupboards below
- A kitchen finished in your colours
- Room for everything in the kitchen
- Cabinets for a narrow kitchen
Living in a block of flats near West Wickham station? Then it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
What to check before you book
- Whether you will get a written quote, not just a figure
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
