An island is the centrepiece of a generous kitchen, but it only works with the floor area to walk freely around it and the services to support it. In Notting Hill that usually means a larger stucco house, a garden-level kitchen opened to the rear, or a room knocked through — an island dropped into a room that is too small simply blocks the space.
If the island takes a sink or hob, drainage, power and extraction have to be routed through the floor to reach it, which is a structural and services question as much as a design one. Where a wall has to come out to create the room, that opening is engineered, party-walled and Building-Control signed off.
We design the island around real clearances and how the kitchen is used, build the cabinetry bespoke, and coordinate the structure, services and finishes in a single contract — so the island works as well as it looks, with honest budgets in pounds sterling.
An island is a space and services decision before it is a styling one.
An island needs generous clearance on every side; we plan it to real working dimensions, not wishful ones.
A sink or hob in the island means drainage, power and extraction routed through the floor — designed in early.
Creating the room frequently means removing a wall, which is engineered, party-walled and signed off.
The island and surrounding runs are made bespoke to the room and the way you use the kitchen.
From confirming the room can take an island to a finished, fully serviced kitchen.
Checking clearances and services to confirm an island genuinely works.
