Kitchen Renovation in Peckham

There's a lot of potential locked up in Peckham's Victorian terraces, and a new kitchen is the quickest way to change how the whole house feels. We work with homeowners across Peckham Rye, Bellenden Road, Rye Lane and the streets around them to build kitchens that suit the property and the people in it.

The usual Peckham terrace has a small kitchen at the back and a separate reception room at the front. The favourite move is to take out the wall between them, drop in a steel beam and make one open plan kitchen and living space running from the front bay window through to new glazed doors onto the garden. Big change, and it adds real value.

Peckham's creative streak feeds into the design. We fit coloured cabinets, concrete worktops, open shelving in reclaimed timber and a proper statement pendant more often than not. Details like that give a kitchen its own personality while still doing everything a family kitchen has to do.

Southwark Council handles planning here and we know their process well. Whether the job needs a permitted development confirmation or a full application in the Peckham Rye conservation area, we sort the paperwork and keep things ticking along.

Peckham, in the London Borough of Southwark, has changed a lot and is now one of South London's liveliest spots. The housing is mostly Victorian terraced, with pockets of Georgian near Peckham Rye and bigger houses around Bellenden Road.

First time buyers and young families come for the community, the culture and prices that are still reasonable by London standards. A kitchen is one of the first things people do, and a well planned open plan kitchen makes a Peckham terrace nicer to live in and worth more when you sell.
