How we make fitted cupboards for Barnet
Gas meters, electricity meters and fuse boards tend to be where you’d least like them, like by the front door or in a hallway corner. We can build a cupboard that tidies them away and still keeps access clear. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so we design doors or removable panels that make that easy. People normally come to us about cupboards that sit well with skirting and coving and storage in a corner nothing else fits, and the answer is made in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
In an older home, panelled doors and painted mouldings may suit; in a newer one, plain flat doors may fit better. For a home in Barnet, door styles are talked through at the design visit. You choose the colour, spray-painted in the workshop or hand-painted on site.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish.

Requests we hear often include:
- Tidying away the gas and electricity meters
- Somewhere for coats, shoes and bags
- Landing shelves for bedding and towels
- A neat cupboard around the boiler

How fitting day works
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. How long fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. We measure the hall, stairs, doors and any lift not just the room, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. We cover floors and doorways on the way in.
- You get in touch and describe the space.
- We visit to measure the space and the route in from the street, including the stairs and doorways. It is useful to let us know about parking then, as a van typically needs a permit or a paid bay in a controlled parking zone.
- We send a written quote.
- In our workshop we build the cupboards in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The sections are carried in, joined and set level. The finish is sprayed before fitting or painted by hand on site.
Before we arrive
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall

Related advice
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard cupboards come in set widths and heights, so there’s usually a gap at the side or a space above. Ours are built to the full width and height you choose, so less space goes to waste. Standard units come with shelves and rails where the maker put them, rather than where you need them. Fitted furniture is laid out inside around your things.
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

What affects the cost of fitted cupboards
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The overall size of the piece
- How many doors and drawers there are
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it.
What to send when you get in touch
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It’s useful to include:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Where you live, with the postcode
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
If you know what you want, say so; if you don’t, that’s fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.

It’s a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, then send a written quote.
What are the cupboards made of?
Moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels, and birch plywood where strength matters. The finish is spray painted in our workshop or hand painted, in the colour agreed with you.
