Our bespoke kitchens across Havering
We’re 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. We make kitchens from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a pantry cupboard with shelves and drawers and a dresser that suits a period house.
Once the main sections are fixed in place, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the kitchen and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- We start with how you cook and what the kitchen needs to hold.
- At the design visit we measure the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the layout.
- A quote follows, covering the design and finish, ready for you to check.
- The cabinets, doors and drawer fronts are built in our workshop.
- Fitting day: we fit the cabinets, and your plumber, electrician and a Gas Safe engineer handle the services. We don’t arrange these trades ourselves.
What affects the price in Havering
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

Kitchens across Havering
In older homes across Havering, kitchens are often in a back addition with walls that are far from square. Cabinets are scribed to those walls and levelled on site. Plumbing, gas and electrics are handled by other trades.
About 36% of the homes in Havering went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 35% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Around a third of the homes in Havering (about 36%) date from between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Many houses of that era have had the kitchen extended or knocked through, so the cabinets are made for today’s layout. Around a third of the homes in Havering (about 35%) were built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Kitchens from that era tend to be small and regular, which suits cabinets made to their exact size.
Controlled parking zones cover large parts of London, so a van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges. It’s useful to tell us about parking at the design visit.
Romford: For a flat near Romford station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If you live near Lodge Farm Park, a tall cupboard for outdoor things can be part of the kitchen design.
Do you need bespoke kitchens?
A painted kitchen can be refreshed later, which suits a long-term home. Hand-painted finishes are easy to touch up later on.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- Making the most of a galley kitchen
- Extra cupboard space
- Spaces sized for your oven and fridge
- Tall larder storage
Made-to-measure kitchens or ready-made?
Ready-made cabinets often have chipboard carcasses. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, painted in colours you choose, finished to suit the room.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- How parking will work on your street
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Measure the route into the kitchen
- Share the layout with your other trades
- List what needs a home in the kitchen
- Know your appliance sizes early
Hand-painted kitchens are easy to touch up. A spray finish gives a smooth, even surface that wipes clean. Keep a note of the paint colours.
It helps to know which appliances you want early. We size the spaces around them, and changing them later can mean changing the units.
What it costs
The price for your room depends on:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Parking near your home
- The overall size of the piece
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
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. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form.
What we do not do
We design, make and fit the furniture. In practice, that means:
- New sockets or circuits
- Moving water or waste pipes
- Knocking through or rebuilding walls
Common questions about bespoke kitchens
Do pictures help?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It is useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How are bespoke kitchens priced?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Every kitchen is different, so we price it after the design visit. To get started, fill in our short enquiry form.
Will you travel outside London?
No. We cover London only: all 32 boroughs and the City of London.
Do you fit furniture for landlords?
Yes. It works the same way as any job: design visit, written quote, workshop, fitting. If the property is let, the agent can arrange access with the tenants.
Do you cover Havering?
Yes. Havering is part of the area we cover, as part of our work across all London boroughs. To get a quote, send us a few details through our contact form.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We can’t advise on leases, so please check yours.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you’ve chosen.
