Bespoke kitchen prices in London, explained.
A clear guide to what a bespoke kitchen costs in London — the figure per linear metre, what it includes, what changes it and how your fixed price is worked out.
Guide: around £1,000–£1,200 per linear metre. Your exact price comes after a free measure and 3D design.

The guide figure and what it means.
As a guide, our bespoke kitchens typically come to around £1,000–£1,200 per linear metre. It is the figure we give people who want to know whether a bespoke kitchen fits their budget before they book a measure.
It is a guide, not a quote. Two kitchens of the same length can still differ by thousands of pounds, depending on the doors, the worktop, the internal fittings and how many tall units the design needs. That is why we never quote a final figure without measuring the room and drawing the kitchen first.
What the price covers
- Design. The free measure and the 3D design, revised until it is right.
- Manufacture. Every cabinet, door, panel and worktop made to your drawings in our own workshop.
- Delivery. Transport from the workshop to your door in London.
- Fitting. Installation by our London fitter — the same person who measured the room — including adjusting every door and drawer.
What it does not cover
Appliances you buy yourself, and work by other trades: electrics, plumbing, gas, building work, plastering, tiling, flooring and decorating. Those are priced by the people who do them. Your quote is itemised, so you can see exactly what is and is not included before you approve anything.
02 Measuring
How to measure linear metres.
A linear metre is simply the length of the kitchen measured along the walls where the cabinets run. You can measure it yourself in a few minutes with a tape measure.
- Measure each wall that will have cabinets, from corner to corner, at worktop height.
- Add the runs together. A straight run of 3.6 metres is 3.6 linear metres. An L-shaped kitchen with runs of 3 metres and 2.4 metres is 5.4 linear metres. A U-shaped kitchen adds the third wall.
- Note anything extra. An island, a peninsula, a run of tall units or a separate dresser. Each changes the price, and each is shown separately in your quote.
Typical London kitchens
- Studio and one-bed flats: often a single wall of two to four metres.
- Galley kitchens in conversions and mansion flats: two parallel runs, often three to five metres in total.
- Terrace extensions and side returns: a long run along one wall, sometimes with an island or peninsula.
- Family houses in the outer boroughs: L- and U-shaped kitchens, often with an island.
Multiplying your total by the guide figure gives a rough starting range for the furniture. It is useful for planning a budget, but your actual price comes as one fixed, itemised quote after the free measure.
03 Price drivers
What moves the price up or down.
Within the same length, these are the choices that make the biggest difference to the final figure. Your quote shows each one, so you can see where the money goes.
Door finish
Matt and textured laminate doors are the best value and the most hard-wearing. High gloss sits a step above. Painted MDF in a colour of your choice, and framed shaker fronts, cost more because they take more work. See materials and finishes.
Worktop
Laminate is the most affordable and comes in hundreds of stone and wood décors. Compact laminate — a solid, waterproof worktop around 12 mm thick — costs more and allows an undermounted sink and a slim, modern edge.
Tall units and height
Tall larders, fridge and oven housings and wall cabinets taken to the ceiling add storage, and they add to the price. In small London kitchens they are usually worth it.
Internal fittings
Pull-out larders, corner carousels, drawer organisers, integrated bins and lift-up wall units make a kitchen easier to use. Each is priced separately, so you can choose the ones that matter to you.
Handles or handleless
Handles vary in price with the style and finish. Handleless rails add a little compared with doors with handles, because of the profiles and the precision needed to keep every gap even. See handleless kitchens.
Islands and peninsulas
An island adds cabinets, finished panels on every side and often a larger worktop. See kitchen islands for what goes into one.
Lighting
LED strips under wall cabinets, inside glazed units or in plinths are planned into the design and priced as part of the kitchen.
04 By layout
What each layout tends to cost more for.
The guide figure applies across layouts, but each layout has its own items that push the price up or keep it down. Knowing them helps you read your quote.
Single-wall and galley kitchens
The fewest metres, so usually the lowest totals. In a small kitchen, tall units and cabinets to the ceiling are what add most — and what add most storage. See small and galley kitchens.
L-shaped kitchens
One corner to solve. A carousel or LeMans-style corner unit makes the corner usable and costs more than a plain corner cupboard. Both are shown in your quote.
U-shaped kitchens
Two corners and the most worktop in a closed room. Worktop joints and corner fittings are the items to watch.
Extension and side-return kitchens
Long runs and often an island. Here the door finish matters most, because there are many doors, and the island adds finished panels on every side.
Kitchens with an island
The island is priced as part of the kitchen: its cabinets, panels, worktop and any seating overhang. A sink or hob in the island also means services through the floor, priced by your trades.
05 Comparing quotes
Comparing kitchen prices like for like.
Kitchen prices are only comparable when they include the same things. Before you compare totals, check each quote against this list.
- Made to measure or standard sizes? Ask how many filler panels the design uses.
- Delivery and fitting. Included, or extra? And who fits — the supplier or a subcontractor?
- Worktops. Which material and thickness, and is fitting included?
- Hardware. Which hinges and runners — named and soft-close, or unspecified?
- Board and edging. Board thickness and the type of edge banding.
- Fixed or estimated. Is the figure fixed after a survey, or can it change?
- VAT. Is it included in the figure you are comparing?
Our quote is fixed and itemised, with manufacture, delivery and fitting included, so it can be compared line by line with any other.
06 Other costs
Costs outside the kitchen quote.
A new kitchen usually involves more than the furniture. Planning for these early avoids surprises when the room is already empty.
- Appliances. You choose and buy them. Send us the model numbers before the design is finalised so the cabinets are made around them.
- Electrics. New sockets, lighting circuits and a circuit for an induction hob are done by a qualified electrician.
- Gas. Any gas hob or cooker connection must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Plumbing. Moving a sink, adding a dishwasher or a sink in an island means water and waste work.
- Walls and floors. Plastering, a new floor or removing a wall are building work, priced by your builder.
- Tiling and decorating. A tiled splashback and the final coat of paint usually go on after the kitchen is fitted.
- Extraction. Ducting to an outside wall, if your flat allows it, is building work; a recirculating hood avoids it.
If you have a total budget for the whole project, tell us. We will design the kitchen so the furniture fits within your share of it, rather than leaving nothing for the rest. A common mistake is to spend the whole budget on the cabinets and then find there is nothing left for the electrician, the tiler or the appliances.
07 Timing
When to ask for a price.
The earlier you know the kitchen price, the easier it is to plan the rest of the project around it.
During a renovation
Ask before your electrician and plumber start first fix. The design fixes where sockets, pipes and waste need to go, and the kitchen price tells you how much of the budget is left for everything else. The final measure is taken once walls are plastered.
Before buying a flat
If you are weighing up a flat that needs a new kitchen, the guide figure and a rough measurement of the runs give you a starting range to factor into your offer.
For a new-build apartment
The design and price can be prepared from the developer’s floor plans, with the final measurements taken once you have the keys.
For a rental
Agree the design and price while the current tenant is still in, and the kitchen can be made during the notice period, keeping the empty weeks to a minimum.
08 Saving money
Spending less without it looking cheaper.
A bespoke kitchen does not have to mean the most expensive version of everything. These are the choices that save the most while changing the look the least.
- Put the money where you touch it. Good hinges, runners and drawers matter every day. Blum soft-close hardware is standard in our kitchens, so you do not need to pay extra for it.
- Use laminate doors where they work. Modern laminate wood and stone décors are convincing and hard-wearing. Save painted or framed doors for an island or a feature wall if you want them.
- Choose drawers carefully. Deep pan drawers near the hob are worth it; a run of small drawers everywhere is not.
- Keep the services where they are. Moving the sink or the hob to a different wall means new plumbing, waste and electrics — often a larger saving than any change to the cabinets.
- Use standard appliance sizes. Integrated appliances in common sizes keep housings simple.
- Tell us your budget. We design to it from the start and show you, line by line, where a change of finish or fitting would save money.
09 Why this price
Why bespoke can cost less than you expect.
Many people assume bespoke kitchens are out of reach. In London, prices for made-to-measure kitchens vary widely, and much of the difference is in who makes the kitchen and how many businesses stand between you and the workshop.
Our kitchens are designed from your measurements, made in our own workshop in Bulgaria and installed by our London fitter. There is no showroom and no retailer margin between you and the people who make the furniture. Buying direct from the workshop that makes the kitchen narrows the gap between bespoke and modular considerably.
It also means one team is responsible for the result. The fitter who measures the room installs the kitchen, so what was measured is what gets fitted. For a fair comparison with other quotes, see bespoke vs modular kitchens.

11 Wardrobes & flats
Wardrobes and whole apartments.
We do not publish a guide figure for wardrobes. They vary too much — a shallow alcove cupboard and a full wall of sliding doors with lighting and drawers are very different pieces of furniture.
The price of a fitted wardrobe depends mostly on its width and height, the type of doors (hinged or sliding, plain or mirrored), and how much is inside: drawers, shoe storage, pull-out rails and lighting. After the free measure you get a fixed, itemised price, just as for a kitchen. See fitted wardrobes.
For a whole flat, you get one fixed price broken down room by room. Designing everything together means one measure, one delivery and one installation period, and finishes that match from room to room. See whole-apartment furniture and, for rental properties, developers and landlords.

How much does a bespoke kitchen cost in London?
As a guide, our kitchens typically come to around £1,000–£1,200 per linear metre, including manufacture, delivery and fitting. The exact price depends on doors, worktop, internal fittings and tall units, and is fixed in an itemised quote after the free measure and 3D design.
Is the price per linear metre a quote?
No. It is a guide to help you plan a budget. Your actual price comes as one fixed, itemised quote for your room, after we have measured it and you have seen the kitchen in 3D.
Does the guide price include fitting?
Yes. Our prices include manufacture, delivery to London and fitting by our London fitter. Appliances and work by other trades — electrics, plumbing, gas, building work, tiling and decorating — are not included.
Are appliances included?
No. You choose and buy your own appliances, and we plan the cabinets around them. Send us the model numbers before the design is finalised; integrated appliances are fitted behind matching doors during installation.
Can you design to my budget?
Yes. Tell us your budget in the enquiry and we design to it rather than past it, showing you where a change of finish, worktop or fitting would save money without changing the look.
Can I get an idea of the cost before the measure?
Yes. Measure the runs where the cabinets will go and multiply by the guide figure for a rough starting range. It tells you whether the project fits your budget, but it is not final — walls, floors and services in London homes often hold surprises, so the fixed price always follows the free measure.
Do I pay for the measure or the design?
No. The measure and the first 3D design are free, with no obligation. There is no deposit until you approve the final design and price.
Does a small kitchen cost less per metre?
Not necessarily. A small kitchen has fewer metres, so the total is lower, but small kitchens often use more clever fittings — pull-out larders, corner units, tall housings — so the price per metre can be similar to a larger kitchen.
How do payments work?
A deposit when you approve the final design starts production, and the balance is paid on completion. The exact split is set out in your order. Nothing is payable for the measure or the design.
Why don’t you give a guide price for wardrobes?
Wardrobes vary too much in size, doors and interior for a single figure to be useful. Send us the width and height of the wall and what you want inside, and after the free measure you get a fixed, itemised price.
