Kitchen Renovation in Chelsea.
Space Cucina began as a kitchen company, and kitchens are still at the centre of what we do. We design, supply and fit kitchens across Chelsea, either on their own or as part of an extension or refurbishment, with the furniture made to measure in Italy or Germany and the worktops, appliances and lighting specified alongside it.
The process starts at your home, with door, worktop and finish samples brought to you. We measure, talk through how you cook and live, and produce a design with drawings and a full specification. Once it is signed off, the kitchen goes into production and arrives six to eight weeks later; fitting, including worktop templating, takes one to two weeks.
Because our own electricians, plumbers and fitters do the work, the practical side, moving services, adding an island, running extraction, is dealt with as part of the design, not discovered on the day.

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 kitchen renovation in Chelsea.
A new kitchen does not need planning permission, but moving services, new electrics and gas work need building regulations approval and certification, and flats usually need the freeholder's consent for changes to services.
