Fitted cupboards in Morden
We fit fitted cupboards in Morden and across London. It starts with a design visit, where we measure and talk through what you need, followed by a written quote. The cupboards are made at our workshop and fitted in your home. 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, so you’ll know before we start. Most enquiries start with cupboards that suit a period house and tidying away the gas and electricity meters; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
An interwar house typically has a proper landing, sometimes with a recess or an airing cupboard, which can hold fitted storage for linen and spare bedding. If yours is one of the interwar houses, semis or detached homes that make up much of the housing around Morden, the landing is worth a look as well as the hall. If a boiler or cylinder sits there, it keeps its clearances and access.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

How fitting works for fitted cupboards
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It helps to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You let us know where the cupboards should go.
- We visit to measure up and go through the design.
- A written quote follows.
- We make the cupboards in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day each cupboard is set level on a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the wall.

Before fitting day
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day

Boards, parts and paint
Plinths and scribe strips
We use a plinth to set the cupboard level on an uneven floor. Scribe strips close the gap to a wall that isn’t straight.
Shelves
We plan shelf heights around what you’ll store, whether that’s linen or cleaning things. Long spans need a thicker shelf or a support.
Looking after your furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. These practical tips help:
- Mention any boiler, meter or fuse board early
- Mention any parking or lift rules
- Make a note of what needs a home
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
Meter and fuse board cupboards work best when they stay easy to open. Avoid packing things in front of the meters, so they can be reached without a struggle.
At the design visit, let us know how parking and access work. Many London streets are in controlled parking zones, and blocks of flats can have rules about lifts and deliveries.
Common questions about fitted cupboards
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Morden?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
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. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Tell us when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
Will a fitted cupboard work on a sloping floor?
Yes, that is part of the job. Walls in older homes are rarely flat and floors often slope, so every cupboard is scribed and levelled.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
What happens at the design visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and talk through the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
Flats, conversions and lettings
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it’s worth raising during the design visit.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
