Do you work in listed buildings in Kensington & Chelsea?

Yes. We regularly make freestanding-feeling cabinetry that is scribed rather than fixed into original fabric, and we will tell you early if an idea is likely to need consent so it can be raised with your architect or the council before drawings are signed off.

Can you work around a mansion block's delivery restrictions?

Yes. Cabinetry is built and finished in the workshop, then brought in as sections sized for the lift or stair. We agree access windows with the porter or building manager before installation week.

How long does a fitted wardrobe project usually take here?

From survey to installation is typically six to nine weeks, with the on-site element usually a matter of days. Paint-finished work and specialist veneers sit at the longer end of that range.

Can you fit wardrobes into a room with a period cornice?

Yes. The usual approach is a full-height carcass with a separate top section shaped to the cornice, so the wardrobe reads as part of the room rather than stopping short of it.

How do you get large cabinetry up a Chelsea staircase?

It is made in sections. We check the stair, half-landings and door openings at survey and size the pieces accordingly, then assemble in the room.

Fitted wardrobe run with slim-framed glazed sliding doors and interior shelving - made for a home in Kensington & Chelsea, London

Joinery in Kensington & Chelsea

Almost every room we set out here has some inheritance to work around: cornice runs that drop across a wall, chimney breasts off-centre by an inch, sash boxes eating into an alcove. We survey before anything is drawn, so wardrobes, alcove cabinetry and media walls are made to the room rather than trimmed to fit on the day.

A large share of the borough is listed or sits inside a conservation area, and a good share of it is leasehold. That shapes the practical side of a job more than the design does: what can be fixed to a party wall, how a lift is booked, when deliveries are allowed through the front hall. We plan that with you before the workshop starts cutting.

What this means on site

Period detailing matched to existing cornice, skirting and architrave profiles
Off-site manufacture keeps time in the property short in portered and shared buildings
Dust control and floor protection on parquet, stone and original boards
