Hand-built cabinetry, marble worktops and master-carpenter-led installation for stucco-fronted Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion blocks and garden-square houses across W8 and SW7. Designed for the proportions of a Kensington house, not assembled from a catalogue.
Kensington’s housing stock is among the most architecturally distinctive in London. Tall stucco-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Edwardes Square, Brompton Square and Holland Park; communal garden squares behind grand front elevations; mansion blocks of unusual quality along Kensington High Street, Cornwall Gardens and Queen’s Gate. The proportions are larger and the original detail more elaborate than further west.
That generosity changes the kitchen brief. Ceiling heights support taller cabinetry, deeper cornicing, fluted plinths and tall larder runs that read at the right scale for the room. Garden access often allows for substantial side-return or rear extensions. Mansion-block ceilings reward island layouts and longer runs of marble that smaller flats simply cannot accommodate.
We design and build kitchens specifically for that brief. Cabinetry is hand-built in our workshop. Worktops are templated on site, slab-matched at every joint, and finished by hand to the profile your design calls for. Installation is done by the carpenters who built the cabinetry, not a sub-contracted team.
Every bespoke kitchen we deliver in Kensington is end-to-end. One team. One point of contact. One standard. Nothing on the project is sub-contracted to a different crew with different priorities.
Measured survey, layout options and elevation drawings designed for the scale of a Kensington terrace or mansion block — not adapted from a catalogue.
In-frame Shaker, handleless or bespoke door styles. Solid timber face frames, dovetailed drawer boxes, soft-close throughout, painted in your specified palette.
Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, quartzite and engineered stone. Templated on site, slab-matched at joints, edges finished by hand.
Existing kitchen removed cleanly, with full protection of period flooring and adjacent rooms, dust suppression and waste removal — never as a hidden extra.
Plumbing, electrics, gas, plastering and structural alterations coordinated by our trusted Kensington crew, with all certifications on completion.
Cabinetry installed by the carpenters who built it. Worktops, splashbacks, appliances and lighting fitted to a level we sign off personally before handover.
A bespoke kitchen in a Kensington stucco-fronted terrace is a fundamentally different brief from a fitted kitchen in a new-build flat. The variables that matter are different, the constraints are different, and the design moves that work elsewhere fail here.
We have refurbished kitchens 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 — bathrooms, flooring, 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 bespoke kitchen refurbishment. Explore our adjacent area pages.
