Bespoke joinery means kitchens, wardrobes, libraries and media walls, made by Cochrane Bespoke. We are NU Projects, design and build in Fulham SW6 since 2010. Each piece is priced from the drawings by our own quantity surveyor. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Our joinery is drawn around the room and the brief. Kitchens, dressing rooms, bookshelves, boot rooms and media walls. Every piece is measured and drawn before anything is made.
Cochrane Bespoke, our joinery partner, makes and installs it. One team takes each piece from design to manufacture and installation. Bespoke fire doors are made the same way, matched to the room.
Joinery can be part of a wider renovation, or a commission on its own. Either way, it is planned with the sockets, lighting and ventilation behind it.

A wardrobe, a library wall and an island.
The design was intelligent and refined, the joinery was beautifully executed. Communication was clear throughout. The end result is a space that feels considered, elegant and timeless.

What owners ask about joinery.
Further reading, from the journal
What can be made as bespoke joinery?
Our joinery service makes made-to-measure furniture, cabinetry and doors, with matching materials and finishes.
We design every piece around the room, its storage needs and its use.
Each piece is priced from the drawings by our own quantity surveyor.
When should wardrobes and fitted storage be designed?
We design them early enough to coordinate sockets, lighting, ventilation, skirtings and doors.
We leave final fabrication dimensions to our measured site-check process.
Cochrane Bespoke made the new wardrobes in our listed Marylebone apartment.
What are joinery shop drawings?
Shop drawings describe each item for manufacture, showing dimensions, construction and interfaces.
Review them with material samples and the approved design, not just a rendered image.
Why does bespoke joinery have a long lead time?
Design development, samples, approvals, materials, fabrication and finishing all take time.
Site measurement and installation readiness can affect the sequence as much as workshop capacity.
Who checks site dimensions before manufacture?
We agree the responsibility and timing with the joinery team.
Final dimensions depend on the finished interfaces, not only the original survey.
Who makes NU’s joinery?
Cochrane Bespoke, our joinery partner. They take each piece from design to manufacture and installation, working from our drawings.
Can I commission joinery on its own?
Yes. Joinery can be part of a wider project, or stand alone. Tell us the scope, and we will confirm the fit.
