Kitchens in Greenwich
We design and fit kitchens, and handle the building work when a room needs more than a refit. We start with the room you have and the way you use it.

Start with the plan
Kitchen design in Greenwich
A Greenwich terrace can have a kitchen at the rear of a long, narrow plan.
Check how daylight reaches the preparation run and whether opening to the next room would genuinely improve the way the household cooks.
We set out the layout and the services before choosing finishes.
That lets a refit, a new room and a larger building job be priced as different scopes rather than one vague estimate.
Make it buildable
Kitchen fitting and renovation
Parts of Greenwich lie within or beside the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and several conservation areas.
The designation affects an external extension or window change; check the property before treating a kitchen refit as a wider building project.
The same brief covers joinery, plumbing, electrics, ventilation and decoration.
If an opening or extension is needed, we work that into the plan before the kitchen is ordered.
The local check
What changes from one Greenwich property to another
Georgian and Victorian terraces, much of it within or beside the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, where the bar for external change is higher than anywhere else on our patch.
The council, heritage designation and property type matter when a plan changes the outside of a home.
They do not by themselves mean a simple internal refit needs planning permission.
We check the actual address and the proposed work before saying what consent is needed.
Check the rules for your address
These are the local authority and estate sources relevant to Greenwich.
When the room needs more space
Kitchen extensions in Greenwich
A kitchen installation within the existing room starts with layout, storage and the service routes. An extension adds structural work, daylight, drainage and a connection to the garden.
The right answer depends on the house and the address. We compare a refit, an internal opening and an extension before drawing a larger footprint into the brief.

A closer look at our work
Finished kitchens from our work across South East London. Ask us which details could work in your own home.
Talk through your room
Start with a call, then a survey if it fits.
Tell us the postcode, the room as it is and what needs to change. We can then decide whether the brief is a kitchen refit or a wider building project.
