Fitted wardrobes, panelling, staircases and bespoke built-ins, hand-built in our workshop and installed by master carpenters across W8 / SW7.
The housing stock between Kensington High Street and Holland Park — stucco-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Edwardian mansion blocks, garden-square houses around Kensington Square and Edwardes Square — was built before electricity reached it. The joinery project brief here lives or dies on respecting that fabric.
The Kensington brief is almost always the same in shape: Restore or replace joinery to suit the period of the house — fitted wardrobes detailed for the proportions of a stucco-fronted reception, panelling that respects the original architecture.
This is the work we do. We design and hand-build joinery specifically for Kensington’s housing stock. Solid timber face frames, dovetailed drawers, hand-cut mortise and tenon where the build calls for it, painted in your specified palette. Installed by the carpenters who built it, not a sub-contracted team.
Every joinery project we deliver in Kensington is end-to-end. One team. One point of contact. One standard.
Measured survey, layout options and elevation drawings designed for the proportions of a Kensington room — not adapted from a catalogue.
Walk-in dressing rooms and fitted wardrobes designed around your storage brief, with hand-built carcasses, soft-close fronts and bespoke interior fit-outs.
Tongue-and-groove, panel-mould and Shaker-style panelling, hand-built and installed in materials and detailing that suit the period of the house.
Bespoke staircases, replacement balustrades, sympathetic refurbishment of original stairs in period properties, with planning and listed-building consent coordinated where applicable.
Bookcases, library walls, alcove cabinetry, window seats and bench storage, designed to read as part of the architecture rather than added to it.
Joinery installed by the carpenters who built it. Final snag list signed off personally before handover.
A joinery project in a Kensington stucco-fronted terrace is not the same brief as a joinery project in a new-build apartment. The variables that matter are different, the constraints are different, and the design moves that work elsewhere fail here.
We have refurbished joinery projects across W8 and SW7 long enough to know what those variables are: where the load-bearing walls live, how Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea conservation areas affect external work, how mansion-block managing agents handle freeholder approvals, and where access genuinely constrains delivery. All of it is factored in at quote stage, not discovered mid-project.

I’ve hired Igor to do the flooring in my kitchen and I can assure this has been one of the best decisions I made. My kitchen now looks immaculate and I couldn’t be happier with ProCraft’s services. Fast, reliable and delivers quality to your needs. Very well recommended.
We needed help with repairs after a water leak. Igor came back to me quickly with a quote and completed the job that weekend. Would highly recommend.
Many of our Kensington clients commission us for the surrounding work too — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, complete refurbishment. Each can be delivered alone or as part of a single programme.
If you are just outside Kensington, we almost certainly cover you for joinery project. Explore our adjacent area pages.
Igor will arrange a free consultation at your Kensington property within 48 hours. No obligation, no pressure — just an honest conversation about scope and what is possible inside the building you have.
