Fitted cupboards in Cubitt Town: what you get
Our fitted cupboards are made for homes in Cubitt Town and all over London. It starts with a design visit, where we measure and talk through what you need, and then send you a quote. The cupboards are made at our workshop and fitted in your home. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. If your home has built-in storage that matches the woodwork and space for laundry, cleaning things and boots, that is what fitted cupboards are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Many homes around Cubitt Town were built since 2000, and newer houses that have had the loft converted often have sloping ceilings and eaves to use. For lofts, the storage goes into spaces that are already converted or boarded. Elsewhere, fitted storage is fixed to plasterboard walls with fixings that suit it.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something is not quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Tips worth knowing
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Make a note of what needs a home
- Have damp sorted before fitting
- Keep boiler vents and meter access clear
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
New paintwork takes a while to harden fully after fitting. At first, go easy on the doors and shelves and avoid heavy cleaning. After that, a soft cloth and mild soapy water is all they need.
Tell us about parking and access at the measuring visit. Much of London has controlled parking, and blocks of flats can have rules about lifts and deliveries.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We can’t give advice on leases.
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.

What else we make in Cubitt Town
Why bespoke in Cubitt Town?
Ready-made cupboards are normally made from chipboard with a printed or plastic finish. Our cupboards are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then spray or hand painted, finished to suit the room. Rooms in newer homes are often compact, and standard depths can take too much floor, whereas fitted pieces can be as shallow as the space needs. It can still go to the ceiling.
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Common questions about fitted cupboards
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Cubitt Town?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Do you make fitted cupboards for homes in Cubitt Town?
Yes. Cubitt Town is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Tower Hamlets and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, especially with rough measurements. To send them, message us from the contact page.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you before anything is painted.
What are the cupboards made of?
Our cupboards are made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then spray painted or hand painted. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
What happens on fitting day
At the end, we tidy up. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Newer homes often have stud walls, so fixings go into the studs or use fixings made for the board. Floors are protected throughout, as many newer homes have finished floors that mark easily.
- To begin, drop us a line using the contact form; a brief note on the space and anything in it that needs access is plenty.
- We visit to measure and plan the cupboard so meters, fuse boards and any boiler stay easy to reach. Boiler work itself is for an engineer on the Gas Safe Register.
- You receive a quote in writing for the cupboards.
- We make the cupboards in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with vents and access panels where they’re needed.
- The cupboards are fitted and set level, and we check the access with you.
How to prepare
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
How to get a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.

What affects the price in Cubitt Town
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That is reflected in the quote, written once we’ve measured up.

There is no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
