Our specialism · South East London

Specialist kitchen fitters, South East London

Design-led: we plan the kitchen around the light and the way you cook.

Build-led: our own fitters, plumbers and electricians fit it, from strip-out to the last panel.

Designed around how you actually cook, built by the same people who'll plumb, wire and decorate it.We are kitchen fitters in South East London who design the room as well.

Why a specialist

A kitchen is the one room where the building work and the design can't be separated.The drains decide where the sink goes.The sink decides where the light should fall.

So Colin plans the two together.You get one drawing, one price and one team.That holds for a refit of an existing room or a rear extension that makes a galley the heart of the house.

01
Planned around the light
We start from where you stand at the sink and where the light falls, then draw the room around it.Units come last.
02
Made to drawings
Larders, full-height runs and open shelving made in our workshop to fit the room, not bought off a shelf.
03
The building work included
Knock-throughs, steels, side returns and rear extensions, drawn and built by the same team that fits the kitchen.
04
Our own trades
Plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling and decoration by our own people, so the finish survives the fit.
