Bespoke kitchens in Haringey: how it works
Kitchens in period houses bring their own challenges. Few walls are flat, and floors often fall away from the walls, which shows up quickly along a run of cabinets. We scribe the cabinets to the walls and set them level on adjustable feet or a plinth giving a level line for the worktop you choose. We make kitchens from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and people most often get in touch about a larder for food and small appliances and spray-painted or hand-painted cabinets.
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the kitchen’s size and how many other trades are involved, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and how you cook.
- We visit, measure the walls, floor and ceiling, and go through the design.
- You get a quote in writing for the cabinets, with the materials and finish set out, for you to read through.
- The units are made and finished in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the kitchen in your home, while your plumber, a Gas Safe engineer and your electrician handle the plumbing, gas and electrics.
What goes into your quote
Awkward rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That is reflected in the quote.

Starting with a design visit
It is useful to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space, particularly with rough sizes. To send them over, drop us a line using the contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.

Bespoke kitchens across Haringey: local notes
Many period kitchens in Haringey sit in a narrow rear extension with uneven walls. Cabinets are scribed to those walls and levelled on site. Your plumber, electrician and a Gas Safe engineer handle the services.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 54% of the housing in Haringey, with about 13% built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. More than half of the homes in Haringey (about 54%) were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Older houses often have narrow kitchens at the back, with floors that slope, so each cabinet is levelled and scribed on site. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 24% of households in Haringey, according to Census 2021. 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 is worth checking yours first.
We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Haringey is part of that. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
Tottenham: If you live in a period home close to Church of St Mary the Virgin, a narrow back addition or an old chimney breast may shape the kitchen layout. Living in a block of flats near Bruce Grove station? Then it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
How we price bespoke kitchens
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- How big the furniture is
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- How many doors and drawers there are
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Your postcode and the borough

What it’s made from
Spray-painted finish
For a sleek look, spray painting works well, and it is finished before fitting day.
Birch plywood
Open shelves in a kitchen need to stay straight, and birch plywood helps.
What prompts bespoke kitchens
Often the call comes after building work has opened up the space. A new room needs a kitchen planned for its shape and light, and building work itself is for your builder.
Some of the things we are asked to solve include:
- A larder for food and small appliances
- An island where space allows
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- A painted dresser for the kitchen
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Do you make good the walls afterwards?
No. We do not plaster or decorate. The furniture is finished by spray or by hand, as agreed in your quote.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Will a bespoke kitchen suit my uneven floor?
Yes. Each cabinet is trimmed to the wall and levelled, so the worktop you choose can sit level. It is one of the main reasons people choose bespoke in an older house.
Do you cover Haringey?
Yes, we do. We work across Haringey, and the process is the same everywhere we go.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Normally not. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first.
What are the kitchen cabinets made of?
Moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels, and birch plywood where strength matters. We spray paint in the workshop or hand paint, in colours agreed with you.
