How Much Does Bespoke Joinery Cost in London?

When planning a renovation or new project, one of the most common questions we hear is:

“How much does bespoke joinery actually cost?”

The answer isn’t always straightforward — but understanding what influences the price can help you make better decisions and avoid unexpected costs later.

Typical Costs in London

As a rough guide:

• Bespoke wardrobes: £2,500 – £8,000+

• Custom kitchens: £15,000 – £50,000+

• Bespoke cabinetry / media units: £2,000 – £10,000+

• Timber windows & doors: £1,500 – £5,000+ per unit

These ranges vary depending on design, materials, and complexity.

What Affects the Cost?

1. Materials

Solid timber like oak or sapele will always cost more than MDF — but offers significantly better durability and finish.

2. Design Complexity

Curves, detailing, integrated lighting, hidden storage — all increase production time and cost.

3. Finishing

Spray finishes (especially high-end or custom colours) require precision and controlled environments — adding both quality and cost.

4. Installation

Challenging access, tight spaces, or coordination with other trades can impact overall pricing.

A Real Scenario

We recently worked on a residential project where the client initially considered off-the-shelf cabinetry.

After reviewing the space, we designed a bespoke solution that:

• maximised storage

• aligned perfectly with the interior design

• integrated lighting and hidden details

While the upfront cost was higher, the final result added both functionality and long-term value to the property.

Is It Worth It?

Bespoke joinery is not just about aesthetics.

It’s about:

• creating something that fits perfectly

• using materials that last

• adding real value to your home

The Real Question

It’s not:

“How much does it cost?”

It’s:
