How we make fitted cupboards for Hurlingham
Gas meters, electricity meters and fuse boards tend to be where you’d least like them, under the stairs, in a hallway or beside the front door. We can build a cupboard that tidies them away and still keeps access clear. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so the doors or panels are planned with that in mind. If you are living with tidying away the gas and electricity meters and storage for towels and bedding, fitted cupboards made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
In streets where many homes were built before 1919, as they were around Hurlingham, under-stairs cupboards in older terraces often house the meters or the fuse board. Those have to stay reachable, so any storage is designed around them. Bays and sash windows in period houses are natural spots for a window seat.

Is it time for fitted cupboards?
Off-the-shelf cupboards rarely suit older houses. Uneven floors and walls that are not square leave gaps at the sides and top and wasted space above. A built-in cupboard follows the room instead.
Fitted cupboards can help with:
- Cupboards that sit well with skirting and coving
- A boiler cupboard that keeps access clear
- A cupboard for a recess or odd corner
- Tidying away the gas and electricity meters
If you live near Parsons Green (park), living near green space often means muddy boots, bikes and outdoor kit, and fitted cupboards can give those things a place.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- Whether you will get a written quote, not just a figure
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home

What else we make in Hurlingham
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind, once we have measured the way in.
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.
Is bespoke worth it?
Standard cupboards come in set widths and heights, and the space around them is often wasted. Ours are built to the full width and height you choose, which can add a good deal of storage. Recesses in older houses come in every size except the standard ones, so off-the-shelf pieces either don’t fit or leave a gap either side. Made for the space, the furniture uses the full width and height.
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What you get with us
- Workshop-made and fitted by us
- A spray or hand-painted finish
- 300+ projects completed
- Saturday visits and fitting by prior arrangement

How we price fitted cupboards
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How square the room is
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The width and height of the space
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. Let us know about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Your postcode and the borough
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
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 start, get in touch through our contact form.
Fitted cupboards in Hurlingham: local notes
In the area around Hurlingham, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 55%) and the years since 2000 (about 26%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Hurlingham include Hurlingham House (Grade II*), under half a mile south, and Parish Church of All Saints (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles west. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, such as fixing into or removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of inner London. In Hurlingham, a van will usually need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
For families living near Sulivan Primary School, fitted cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit. For an older house near St Dionis, a landing recess can take a linen cupboard built to its exact size.

What happens on fitting day
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Scribing is done on site, which means some cutting in the room or close by, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. We keep dust down and tidy as we go. Where the finish is hand-painted, it can be done after the pieces are in.
- To begin, fill in our short enquiry form; a brief note on the space and anything in it that needs access is plenty.
- At the design visit we measure up and note the clearances and ventilation the boiler manufacturer asks for. Boiler work itself is for a Gas Safe engineer.
- A written quote follows with the design, materials and finish.
- The cupboards are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with the access planned in.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Questions we’re often asked
I live near Imperial Wharf station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hammersmith and Fulham and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Hurlingham affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
How long does fitting take?
How long the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We’ll talk it through at the design visit.
Can you box in my boiler with a fitted cupboard?
Yes, provided the cupboard keeps to the boiler maker’s instructions. We allow for the clearances and ventilation it needs and make sure an engineer can reach it.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
