Bespoke Joinery & Fitted Furniture in Chelsea.
Older houses are full of spaces that off-the-shelf furniture cannot use: chimney-breast alcoves, high ceilings, sloping loft walls, awkward landings. Fitted joinery makes those spaces work, and it is the detail that most often makes a refurbished home feel finished.
We design every piece to the room, picking up the proportions of the existing doors, skirtings and cornices in the period houses of Chelsea, or making a deliberately contemporary contrast where that suits the scheme. Wardrobes, dressing rooms, media walls, home offices, libraries and boot rooms are all drawn in full before they are made.
Manufacture takes six to eight weeks from approved drawings, followed by a few days on site for installation and hand-finishing. Where joinery forms part of a wider refurbishment, it is programmed in with the rest of the work.

Chelsea: the houses and the planning rules.
Chelsea runs from the red-brick and stucco terraces off the King's Road to the riverside streets around Cheyne Walk. The housing is mostly Victorian, much of it listed, in a dense patchwork of conservation areas policed by the Royal Borough, which is known for strict basement and roof policies.
Our work in Chelsea includes a development of six apartments where we designed, supplied and fitted matching kitchens and wardrobes to the developer's programme. Whether it is one house or a whole building, the same rules apply: careful drawings, early approvals and a build that respects the neighbours.
The Chelsea, Royal Hospital, Cheyne and Chelsea Park/Carlyle conservation areas cover most of the district.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. Its basement policy limits basements to a single storey under part of the garden, and it takes a firm line on roof extensions and rear elevations.
Conservation areas
Almost all of Chelsea is within a conservation area. Article 4 directions remove permitted development rights on many streets, so extensions generally need a full application.
Developments and flats
In new and converted buildings, works are coordinated with the freeholder or developer and delivered to a fixed programme.
Approvals for bespoke joinery and fitted furniture in Chelsea.
Fitted furniture does not need planning permission. In listed buildings we design it to be freestanding or reversible so that it does not affect historic fabric and does not need listed building consent.
