Precision joinery for Kensington townhouses and Holland Park villas — bespoke kitchens, staircases, fitted libraries and wall panelling of the highest order.
AKL Joinery in Kensington
Kensington's architecture sets an exceptionally high bar. The Victorian and Edwardian townhouses of W8 and W14, the grand lateral apartments overlooking communal gardens, the mews houses and Holland Park villas — all demand joinery that is not just well made, but intelligently designed for the specific context.
We work across Kensington and Holland Park delivering bespoke joinery to homeowners, architects and interior designers. Our Kensington commissions have included full kitchen fits in double-fronted townhouses, floor-to-ceiling fitted libraries with rolling ladders, bespoke oak staircases for lateral extensions, and fully panelled reception rooms in period apartments.
The scale of Kensington properties often allows us to be more ambitious than in smaller homes — full room panelling schemes, double-height hallway staircases, kitchen larder rooms with bespoke interior fitting. We relish these commissions and bring the same standard of craft to every detail, large or small.
We visit W8 and W14 regularly for consultations and have a strong network of contractors, architects and interior designers operating across the area.
