Common questions about fitted cupboards
Do you cover homes near Hampton station?
Yes. We cover all of Richmond upon Thames and the rest of London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, works inside that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Will a fitted cupboard work on a sloping floor?
Yes. We scribe each cupboard to follow the wall and levelled with a plinth or adjustable feet. It is one of the reasons fitted joinery suits period homes.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
Getting it in is planned during the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
How much time does fitting need?
How long 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.
What are the cupboards made of?
Moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels, and birch plywood where strength matters. We spray paint in the workshop or hand paint, in a colour you choose.
Fitted cupboards for homes in Hanworth
We fit fitted cupboards in Hanworth and across London. We begin with a design visit to measure and go through the design, and then send you a quote. Once agreed, we make the cupboards in our workshop and fit them in your home. How long fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Most enquiries start with storage for towels and bedding and a boiler cupboard that keeps access clear; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Post-war housing makes up a good share of the homes around Hanworth, and in London that can mean houses or flats in blocks. Post-war houses typically have space under the stairs that can do more, while in a flat, the hallway and any recess are the places to look. Meters, fuse boards and boilers keep the access they need.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

What prompts fitted cupboards in Hanworth
Others want their cupboards to match the rest of the house. We can design doors that suit the style of the house, which keeps the look calm.
We are often asked to help with:
- Storage for towels and bedding
- Tidying away the gas and electricity meters
- Storage for coats and shoes in the hallway
- A cupboard for a recess or odd corner
For a family home near Buckingham Primary School, fitted cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.
Choosing a carpenter
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- A quote in writing that sets out the job
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
Flats, conversions and lettings
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, which we check during the design visit.
How fitting day works
In older rooms, the furniture normally has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a post-war block of flats, the route in may include communal stairs, landings and a lift, so the furniture comes in sections that fit them. Tell us about any building rules on lifts or working hours at the measuring visit.
- You get in touch and let us know whether the cupboard will house a boiler, meters or a fuse board.
- We visit to measure and plan the cupboard so meters, fuse boards and any boiler stay easy to reach.
- A quote in writing follows with the design, materials and finish.
- 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.
Before fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Arranging a design visit
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To arrange it, message us from the contact page and tell us about the room. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.
Advice
Fitted cupboards in Hanworth: local notes
About 35% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Hanworth went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 31% between 1973 and 1999, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The centre of Hanworth is within about a quarter of a mile of the Hanworth Road Conservation Area. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you are unsure, check with the council before work starts. All of London, Richmond upon Thames included, is inside the ULEZ. It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Hanworth. Access and parking are talked through at the design visit.
If you live near Crane Park, fitted cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. For an older house near St Richard's Church, a shallow cupboard in a narrow hall can hold coats without blocking the way.

What affects the price in Hanworth
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How many doors and drawers there are
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. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Helping us understand the room
These details help when you get in touch:
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
If you know what you want, say so; 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, get in touch through our contact form.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
