FAQs: fitted cupboards in Nine Elms
How do you fit fitted cupboards in a flat in Nine Elms?
At the design visit, we measure the way in as well as the room. Fitted cupboards are made in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
Do you cover homes near Battersea Park station?
Yes, homes across Wandsworth and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, particularly with rough measurements. To send them, send us a few details through our contact form.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
Is it possible to build a cupboard around a boiler?
Yes, provided the cupboard keeps to the boiler maker’s instructions. We allow for the clearances and ventilation it needs and keep access clear for the engineer.
Fitted cupboards in Nine Elms
Gas meters, electricity meters and fuse boards tend to be where you’d least like them, like by the front door or in a hallway corner. We can build a cupboard that tidies them away, while keeping them easy to reach. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so we design doors or removable panels that make that easy. Typical reasons to get in touch are storage for coats and shoes in the hallway and tall cupboards where space is short; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Many homes around Nine Elms have been built since 2000, and newer homes often have little built-in storage. Halls, landings and the space beneath the stairs are where fitted storage can help. Plasterboard stud walls are common, so fixings go into the studs or use fixings made for the board.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you get in touch.
Fitted storage in Nine Elms

Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The National Heritage List has 31 entries within half a mile of the centre of Nine Elms. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and fitted cupboards can be designed to work around them.

The problems fitted cupboards solve
Moving into a flat often shows how little built-in storage there is. A tall cupboard in a hallway or a recess can make a real difference, especially when it uses the full height of the room.
People normally get in touch with us about things like these:
- A boiler cupboard that keeps access clear
- Storage for towels and bedding
- A utility room with proper storage
- Using the full height of a room
For a flat near Battersea Park station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.

Doors and drawer fronts
Doors can be flat, framed or panelled and finish them to match. Drawers below the doors suit shoes and small items.
Shelves
Shelves are spaced to suit what goes on them, from towels and bedding to tins and boxes. Long spans need a thicker shelf or a support.

How fitting works for fitted cupboards
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully. The time the fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Parking at newer developments can be restricted, with private bays or loading areas, so it is useful to let us know at the measuring visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
