Fitted cupboards in Bexley: how it works
The carcasses and doors are made from moisture-resistant MDF or birch plywood, depending on what each part needs to do. MDF is stable and takes paint well, while birch plywood is good for long shelves. We finish them by spray painting in the workshop or by hand painting, in a colour agreed with you. We make fitted cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a cupboard for a recess or odd corner and storage for coats and shoes in the hallway.
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard.

Landmarks near Sidcup
We fit furniture in homes around Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, Waring Park and Birkbeck Primary School and the streets around them. You’ll also find Holy Trinity Church (less than half a mile north) and The Alma pub (within half a mile south). Sidcup has its own railway station: Sidcup station. Nearby you will also find Queen Mary's Hospital (1 mile south) and Metropolitan Police Museum (within half a mile north-west).
Fitted storage across Bexley
Across Bexley, the most useful storage is often hidden in an tricky corner. A stair void, a bay or an eaves slope can all take fitted cupboards built to their exact angles. Everything is scribed and levelled on site.
The biggest shares of homes in Bexley were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 22%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. More than a third of the homes in Bexley (about 41%) date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Interwar houses often have room in the hall and the box room for fitted cupboards. About 52% of households in Bexley live in detached or semi-detached houses, based on Census 2021. A house like that normally has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in Bexley are well within our area. If you are unsure about access or parking, mention it when you contact us.
Sidcup: For a flat near Sidcup station, it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. For an older house near Holy Trinity Church, a shallow cupboard in a narrow hall can hold coats without blocking the way.
What affects the cost of fitted cupboards
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- How square the room is
- The number of doors and drawers
- How big the furniture is
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size comes first. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Getting in touch
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Examples of the look you’re after
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly during the design visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, message us from the contact page and let us know about the room. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.
Do you need fitted cupboards?
Most people come to us because things have nowhere to go. Coats pile up on the newel post, shoes gather by the door and the vacuum lives in a corner. A cupboard built for the space gives everything a place and clears the floor.
People usually get in touch with us about things like these:
- A linen cupboard on the landing
- Cupboards that sit well with skirting and coving
- Storage in a corner nothing else fits
- A neat cupboard around the boiler
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard cupboards come in set widths and heights, so there is typically a gap at the side or a space above. A fitted cupboard can run wall to wall and floor to ceiling, so less space goes to waste.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
Before and after fitting day
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. After that, a few simple habits help:
- Think about what each cupboard will hold
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
- Let us know about meters and boilers in the space
- Think about how the cupboards will get in
Over time, you may want to move a shelf or add a rail. Shelves can be set at heights that suit you as your storage changes.
Mention any boiler, meter or fuse board in the space early. They affect where doors, panels and vents go, and planning around them is much easier than changing things later.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
It is worth being honest about cost: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Questions we’re often asked
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
What happens during the design visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and discuss the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
How are fitted cupboards priced?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. A small boiler cupboard and a full run of hallway storage are very different jobs, so we price it after measuring. To get started, fill in our short enquiry form.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Typically not. Inside a house, fitted furniture does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings can require listed building consent for works that affect their character, so check with the council first.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
Can you make cupboards for a utility room?
Yes, we plan the room around what needs storing like boots, coats, laundry and the vacuum. Plumbing and electrics are for your plumber and electrician.
