Fitted Cupboards in Shepherd's Bush
Fitted cupboards in Shepherd's Bush: built-in cupboards for hallways, landings, utility rooms and boot rooms. We make each piece in our workshop and fit it in your home, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
- Somewhere for coats, shoes and bags
- Tall cupboards where space is short
- A neat cupboard around the boiler
Fitted cupboards designed for your room
Could you do it yourself?
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is quick to buy.
How we make fitted cupboards for Shepherd's Bush
We fit fitted cupboards in Shepherd's Bush and across London. We begin with a design visit to measure and go through the design, and then send you a quote. The cupboards are made at our workshop and fitted in your home. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you’re living with hiding meters and a fuse board neatly and space for laundry, cleaning things and boots, that is what fitted cupboards are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Where original shutters, doors or panelling survive, they’re worth designing around. With a large share of the homes around Shepherd's Bush built before 1919, new storage can be made to sit beside them rather than replace them. Panel details can be drawn to suit the house. If your home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original joinery.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made at our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

How we price fitted cupboards
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. This is what makes the difference:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The width and height of the space
- Spray painting or hand painting
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What to send when you contact us
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll usually ask about:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Approximate measurements of the space
For a quote for fitted cupboards in Shepherd's Bush, drop us a line using the contact form. Tell us which room it is and roughly what you have in mind, with sizes if you have them. We will arrange a design visit, then send a written quote.
Looking after your furniture
None of this takes much effort. What we’d suggest:
- Let us know how parking works on your street
- Don’t store things against the boiler
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Think about what each cupboard will hold
Doors are hung and adjusted when we fit them. Timber and walls shift slightly through the year, so the hinges allow small adjustments later. A door that starts to rub can usually be set right at the hinge.
Any damp should be dealt with before furniture goes against a wall. A cupboard on a damp wall can trap moisture, particularly on a colder external wall. Ventilation inside the cupboard helps too.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot advise on your lease.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it’s worth raising at the design visit.
FAQs: fitted cupboards in Shepherd's Bush
My home in Shepherd's Bush is a period house with walls that are not straight. Is that a problem?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
My home in Shepherd's Bush is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
What are the cupboards made of?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray painting or hand painting. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
Can a fitted cupboard cover the meters and fuse board?
Yes, while keeping access clear. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so the doors or panels are planned to open easily.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. You can send them when you message us from the contact page.

Fitting day, step by step
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that are not straight, so each piece is trimmed and adjusted on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. It is useful to tell us about parking at the design visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- You get in touch and describe the space.
- We visit to measure the space and the route in from the street, including the stairs and doorways.
- We send a quote in writing.
- The cupboards are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route.
- The sections are carried in, joined and set level. The finish is sprayed before fitting or painted by hand on site.
Before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand
