Expert kitchen renovation services in Hackney, E8. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Hackney.
Hackney's diverse housing stock—from Victorian terraces around London Fields and Victoria Park to converted warehouses along Mare Street and the Regent's Canal—demands a flexible, creative approach to kitchen design. SOM Development thrives in this varied landscape, delivering kitchens that reflect each property's unique character and each homeowner's individual style.
In Hackney's terraces, we frequently undertake side-return extensions and rear additions that create generous open-plan kitchen-diners. The Victorian terraces around Lauriston Road, Navarino Road, and Chatsworth Road share a common layout that responds brilliantly to this treatment, and our structural engineers have refined the steelwork details to minimise disruption and cost.
For warehouse and industrial conversions—particularly those in the Hackney Wick and Dalston areas—we take a different approach, often incorporating exposed brickwork, steel-framed glazing, and industrial-style fixtures that celebrate the building's heritage. These projects may involve navigating complex lease arrangements and freeholder consents, which our project managers handle as part of the service.
Hackney's creative community inspires bold design choices, and our team is equally comfortable specifying polished-concrete worktops and reclaimed-timber open shelving as we are with traditional stone and painted cabinetry. Whatever your vision, we bring it to life with meticulous craftsmanship.
Hackney is one of east London's most dynamic boroughs, with a housing stock that ranges from grand Victorian terraces around Victoria Park to post-industrial loft conversions and new-build apartments. The borough's planning policies under Hackney Council generally support well-designed rear extensions and internal alterations.
The area's creative identity means homeowners often seek distinctive kitchen designs that stand apart from conventional layouts. Combined with strong property values—particularly around London Fields, Victoria Park, and increasingly Hackney Wick—kitchen renovation is a popular and rewarding investment in the borough.
“SOM turned our dark Hackney terrace kitchen into an incredible open-plan space with a crittall-style glass wall separating the kitchen from the snug. It is practical, beautiful, and completely unique. Everyone who visits asks who designed it.”

Yes. We have extensive experience with warehouse and loft conversions in Hackney. We handle freeholder consents, building regulations, and any structural modifications needed to create a fully functional kitchen within an industrial shell.
Absolutely. The classic Hackney Victorian terrace responds very well to rear-wall removal and side-return extension, creating spacious open-plan kitchen-diners of 25-40 square metres depending on the property size.
It depends on the property. Victorian terraces suit a mix of contemporary and traditional materials, while warehouse conversions often look best with industrial touches—polished concrete, raw steel, and reclaimed timber alongside modern appliances.
