Two runs that earn every millimetre

A galley kitchen — two parallel runs of units with a working corridor between — is often the most efficient layout for the narrow kitchens found in Notting Hill’s period conversion flats and terraced houses. Where the room will not take an island, a well-planned galley delivers more storage and worktop than any other arrangement.

The art is in the detail: the corridor width, the order of the appliances, where the extraction goes and how the light works — which matters all the more in a lower-ground flat. In a converted house the room is rarely a clean rectangle, so the joinery has to be made to fit chimney breasts, service risers and uneven walls rather than dropped in from a showroom.

We design the galley around how you actually cook, build the cabinetry bespoke to the room, and handle the electrics, plumbing, ventilation and finishes in one contract — so a tight footprint still feels considered and calm, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.

What shapes a Notting Hill galley kitchen

A galley succeeds on planning discipline — widths, sequence and services in a narrow room.

01

Width is everything

The working corridor has to be wide enough to use two runs safely — we plan it to the millimetre.

02

Bespoke to the room

Period and converted kitchens are rarely square; the joinery is made to fit chimney breasts and risers.

03

Extraction matters

A galley concentrates cooking in a small space, so ducted extraction is designed in, not added on.

04

Flats add rules

In a conversion flat, lease conditions and shared services shape what can move — we work within them.

Questions clients ask before they start

Is a galley kitchen right for my flat?

Often, yes — for narrow rooms a galley delivers the most storage and worktop. We confirm the corridor width works safely before committing to the layout.

Can you make it fit a period room?

Yes — we build the joinery bespoke so it fits chimney breasts, service risers and uneven walls rather than forcing in standard units.

Do I need freeholder consent in a flat?

For changes to services, often yes under the lease. We identify what consent is needed and secure it before starting.

How is extraction handled?

Ducted extraction is designed into the scheme and routed correctly, which matters in a concentrated galley or a lower-ground kitchen.

What does a galley kitchen cost?

It depends on joinery, worktops and appliances. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after seeing the room.
