Kitchens designed for the
generosity of a Kensington house.

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.

Discuss Your Kensington Kitchen

From the first measure
to the final snag.

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.

01

Bespoke Design

Measured survey, layout options and elevation drawings designed for the scale of a Kensington terrace or mansion block — not adapted from a catalogue.

02

Hand-Built Cabinetry

In-frame Shaker, handleless or bespoke door styles. Solid timber face frames, dovetailed drawer boxes, soft-close throughout, painted in your specified palette.

03

Marble & Stone

Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, quartzite and engineered stone. Templated on site, slab-matched at joints, edges finished by hand.

04

Demolition & Strip-Out

Existing kitchen removed cleanly, with full protection of period flooring and adjacent rooms, dust suppression and waste removal — never as a hidden extra.

05

First-Fix Trades

Plumbing, electrics, gas, plastering and structural alterations coordinated by our trusted Kensington crew, with all certifications on completion.

06

Installation & Snagging

Cabinetry installed by the carpenters who built it. Worktops, splashbacks, appliances and lighting fitted to a level we sign off personally before handover.

The detail that separates a kitchen
that belongs from one that doesn’t.

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.

What Kensington clients
most often ask.

Every kitchen is priced individually. Igor visits the property, assesses scope, materials, structural and conservation considerations, and provides a detailed written quotation itemised line by line. We do not publish indicative pricing online — the variables are too significant to give a useful range. Standard 20% VAT is shown separately on every quote.
Yes. Side-return and rear extensions on Kensington’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces — particularly around Edwardes Square, Brompton Square, the side streets off Kensington High Street and Holland Park — are a regular brief for us. We coordinate structural engineering, building control, party-wall surveying and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea planning where required.
Yes. Most of Kensington sits within Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea conservation areas — Holland Park, Kensington Square, Edwardes Square, De Vere, the museum quarter and Brompton among them. Internal kitchen refurbishment is normally permitted, but listed-building consent applies to any change affecting historic fabric. We work to those constraints by default.
Yes. Mansion blocks around Kensington High Street, Cornwall Gardens, Lexham Gardens, Queen’s Gate and Cromwell Road are some of our most frequent W8 and SW7 projects. We coordinate with managing agents on freeholder requirements, acoustic underlay, working hours, lift protection and access — and factor those constraints into the programme at quote stage.
A complete bespoke kitchen refurbishment in Kensington typically takes 6 to 10 weeks on site. Bespoke cabinetry and stone worktop lead times run in parallel during the design phase, so the on-site programme is not held up waiting for materials. Where structural alterations or extensions are involved, the overall programme extends accordingly. We confirm exact timelines in writing after the property visit.

A kitchen rarely sits in isolation.

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.

We build kitchens
across Kensington’s neighbours, too.

If you are just outside Kensington, we almost certainly cover you for bespoke kitchen refurbishment. Explore our adjacent area pages.
