Bespoke Fitted Utility Rooms, Made in London
The room everyone uses every day and almost nobody designs properly. Six bespoke utility configurations — boot room, pet utility, laundry-focused, cleaning, mudroom and storage. Each designed around a specific functional brief.
The room that earns its keep.
A well-designed utility room is the most quietly transformative room in a London home. The mud stays out of the hallway. The dog has a clean coat before reaching the kitchen. The washing happens out of sight. The Hoover lives somewhere proper. The drawing rooms stay calm because the working rooms take the strain.
Most utility rooms fail because they're specified after the kitchen brief is finished — leftover space, leftover budget, leftover thought. A Metro utility commission is designed around the specific functional brief: what enters the room, what leaves it, what stays.

Bespoke Fitted Utility Rooms London
Bespoke fitted utility rooms and boot rooms designed around what enters the room — muddy boots, wet dogs, laundry and cleaning storage. Made in Wembley.
The room everyone uses daily and almost nobody designs properly. A utility room fails when it's specified last — leftover space, leftover budget, leftover thought. Designed properly, it's the most quietly useful room in a London house: the mud stays out of the hallway, the dog is clean before it reaches the kitchen, the washing happens out of earshot, and the vacuum lives somewhere it actually fits. We design from the traffic through the room rather than from the floor plan. What comes in, what goes out, what stays. Boots, coats, sports kit, pet equipment, cleaning products, recycling, parcels — each gets a specified place, sized for what it holds.
Every Metro utility room, six commitments
Boot Room
Two to three hours on site. Layout sketched, plumbing assessed, ventilation route confirmed. Never a junior, never a salesperson.
Pet Utility
Every cabinet built to your specific room — never an off-the-shelf carcass. Premium MDF or solid timber, soft-close hardware by Blum.
Laundry-Focused
Washer, dryer, dog shower, sink — we coordinate with your appliance specification and your plumber on supply, drainage and ventilation.
Cleaning Store
Full compatibility with our Door Library — 32 door styles, 100+ painted tones, 40+ veneers. Match to your adjacent kitchen specification.
Mudroom
Our own fitters install your utility rooms — never subcontracted. Protective coverings throughout, coordination with your trades.
Storage-led
Ten years on cabinetry, parts and labour. Specification kept on file for future matched additions to the original commission.
Questions clients ask at the first visit.
A fitted utility room is bespoke joinery designed around the practical traffic of a household — laundry appliances, cleaning storage, boots and coats, pet equipment, recycling. It typically combines tall cupboards, a worktop with a deep sink, appliance housings, and open or closed storage sized to what you actually own, all built to the room's exact dimensions.
Every utility room is priced individually according to its configuration, worktop material and the level of appliance integration. A cleaning and laundry store sits at the lower end, while a full boot room with pet-washing facilities, a deep sink and a stone worktop sits at the upper end. Every commission is priced after a free home visit, since plumbing access affects the cost more than floor area does.
A utility room handles the household's dirty work broadly — boots, coats, cleaning equipment, recycling, pet washing, often with laundry included. A laundry room is dedicated specifically to washing, drying, ironing and linen storage. If space allows only one, most London households get more from a utility room, because it absorbs more of the mess that otherwise reaches the hallway and kitchen.
A workable single-run utility needs about 1.8m of width to take a washing machine, a tall cupboard and a short worktop. Two facing runs need at least 2.4m between them so appliance doors can open. A boot room with seating and pet washing wants 2.5m or more. Below 1.5m, integrating utility functions into a kitchen run is usually the better answer.
Yes, and it's one of the most requested features. A raised shower tray at roughly 400mm reduces the bending involved and keeps the water contained, with a handheld mixer tap, tiled or tanked surround, and a drying cupboard alongside. It needs a hot and cold supply and a waste run, so we design the cabinetry around a plumbing specification agreed with your plumber.
Quartz composite and granite are the most practical — non-porous, resistant to detergents and bleach, and needing no sealing. Solid timber is warmer but marks around a sink and needs regular oiling. Laminate is the economical choice and performs perfectly well. Avoid marble here: cleaning products and standing water will etch it faster than in any other room.
Yes, and most are. We work from your existing kitchen's door style, paint specification and hardware family. Where you're commissioning kitchen and utility together, both are manufactured in the same workshop batch, which guarantees the paint and finish match exactly — something that's difficult to achieve reliably across two separate production runs.
We design the cabinetry around the services and coordinate closely with your plumber, but we don't employ plumbers directly. Supply, drainage and ventilation requirements are detailed in our drawings so your plumber knows exactly what's needed and when. Most clients use their own trades; where you don't have one, we can recommend contractors from our regular network.
Allow 8 to 12 weeks from design sign-off to installation. Where the utility is commissioned alongside a kitchen, both are scheduled together so your home is disrupted once rather than twice. Every commission carries the Metro 10-year guarantee on parts and labour, covering cabinets, doors, drawer mechanisms, finishes and integrated hardware we supply.
Ten years, parts and labour, on every cabinet, door, drawer mechanism, finish and integrated hardware. Excludes wear from misuse and damage from third-party building work after our install.
