Fitted cupboards in Falconwood
What happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, 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. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturdays can be arranged.
- First, you let us know about the space and what you need to store.
- We come to your home for a design visit, measure the space and discuss the layout.
- A written quote follows, covering the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- We make the carcasses, doors and shelves in our workshop.
- The cupboards are fitted in your home and trimmed to follow the walls. We check each door and shelf with you before we leave.
Before fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
Arranging a design visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
About our fitted cupboards in Falconwood
We make our cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and 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. The finish is either spray painted in our workshop or hand painted, in the colour you choose. Typical reasons to get in touch are cupboards that suit a period house and landing shelves for bedding and towels, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
With interwar houses or semis a big part of the picture around Falconwood, loft conversions are common, and they leave low eaves and sloping ceilings. Those spaces, along with bays and hallways, are where fitted storage can add the most. For lofts, we work in spaces that are already converted or boarded.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Tips worth knowing
Most of what helps is simple. What we’d suggest:
- Let us know how parking works on your street
- Mention any boiler, meter or fuse board early
- Measure the route into the room along with the room itself
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
New paintwork takes a while to harden fully after fitting. At first, go easy on the doors and shelves and wipe them with a soft, damp cloth only. In time, a damp cloth and a little mild soap keeps them clean.
If there is damp on a wall, have it sorted before we fit. A cupboard on a damp wall can trap moisture, particularly on a colder external wall. Ventilation inside the cupboard helps too.
Questions we are often asked
Can you make fitted cupboards for a home in Falconwood?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London, and Falconwood is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Do you cover homes near Welling station?
Yes, homes across Bexley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details about the room.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
What do you do at the measuring 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.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations. We cannot advise on leases, so please check yours.
Can you build a cupboard around a boiler?
Yes. We design the cupboard to keep the clearances and ventilation set out in the boiler maker’s instructions, with doors that open wide for servicing. Work on the boiler itself is a job for an engineer on the Gas Safe Register.
What it costs
The price for your room depends on:
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The number of doors and drawers
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Examples of the look you are after
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Your postcode and the borough
- What the furniture needs to hold
We quote once we’ve seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and talk through the design with you, then send a quote in writing. Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.

Making use of awkward spaces in Falconwood
In the streets around Falconwood, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 73%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 13%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Falconwood is covered by it. Parking and access are planned at the measuring visit. About 61% of households in the area around Falconwood live in detached or semi-detached houses, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. A house like that typically has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
If you live in a flat close to Welling station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If you live near Shoulder of Mutton Green, living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and fitted cupboards can give those things a place. If your home is one of the older houses near Bishop Ridley Church, hallway recesses and alcoves are where fitted cupboards earn their keep.
