What affects the price in Hampton Hill
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- The number of doors and drawers
- The internal fittings
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Spray painting or hand painting
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. It is useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit.
Getting in touch
Ahead of the design visit, we will typically ask about:
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Your postcode and the borough
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, send us a few details through our contact form.
How we make fitted cupboards for Hampton Hill
A boiler cupboard needs more thought than most. The boiler maker’s instructions set out the clearances and ventilation it needs, and the cupboard is built to respect them. Doors open wide enough for servicing, while any work on the boiler is for a Gas Safe registered engineer. People normally come to us about a cupboard for a recess or odd corner and cupboards that suit a period house, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Whether your home in Hampton Hill is a period house, an interwar semi, a post-war flat or a newer build, there’s normally a space that could work harder. Fitted storage can make it useful, with drawers, shelves, hanging or a seat depending on the space. Walls could be brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard, so we check before choosing fixings.
The written quote is your record of the job. It sets out the fitted cupboard designed for your room, what it’s made from and how it’s finished, and the workshop works from it.

What else we make in Hampton Hill
When is bespoke worth it?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Tips worth knowing
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Let us know how parking works on your street
- Point out anything that needs access
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
- Make sure walls are dry before we fit
Doors are hung and adjusted when we fit them. Houses move a little with the seasons, and hinges can be adjusted to keep the gaps even. If a door catches, it is typically a small hinge adjustment.
If there’s damp on a wall, have it sorted before we fit. Damp behind a cupboard can lead to mould, and external walls can be colder than internal ones. We can allow for ventilation where it’s needed.
Honest limits
Not everything around fitted cupboards is carpentry, like an electrician, a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here’s what to know:
- Moving or servicing a boiler
- Changes to meters, which are for your supplier or an electrician
- New sockets, lighting or wiring (your electrician)
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can message us from the contact page and we will give you a straight answer. Our process from visit to fitting.

From workshop to your room
You won’t need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and the room should already be cleared, as we’ll have talked about at the measuring visit. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. 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. On fitting day, each piece is fitted to the room’s own walls, with scribing where they wander and packing where floors dip. Hand painting can happen on site, while spray-painted pieces come ready from the workshop.
- You tell us where the cupboards should go.
- At the design visit we measure at several points, as walls and floors in older homes are rarely flat or level.
- You receive a quote in writing covering the design, materials and finish.
- We make the cupboards in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cupboards and trim the edges to follow the walls and ceiling.
- Your finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site; go gently with it at first while it cures.
Preparing the room
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Ask for a quote
We quote once we’ve seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a written quote. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. To book a design visit, use our contact form.

Common questions about fitted cupboards
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Fulwell station?
Yes, homes across Richmond upon Thames and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Hampton Hill?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. 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 at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can a fitted cupboard cover the meters and fuse board?
Yes, and we keep them easy to reach. Engineers and meter readers will need access, so we design doors or removable panels for that.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That’s why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the measuring visit.
How much time does fitting need?
How long the fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We’ll talk it through at the design visit.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character may need listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.

Living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and fitted cupboards can give those things a place.
