Fitted cupboards for your home in South Ealing
From workshop to your room
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it looks as though it was always there. The time the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that aren’t straight, so there is some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- We start with the space and what you want to store.
- At the design visit we measure up and look at the walls, floor and ceiling.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish.
- The cupboards are made and finished in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cupboards are fitted and trimmed to the room. A hand-painted finish is applied on site, if you chose one.
How to prepare
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
Getting a quote
It’s useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.

How we make fitted cupboards for South Ealing
Many landings have a spare corner or wall that could work harder. We can turn it into a linen cupboard, or storage for bedding and spare towels, with shelves spaced to suit what goes on them. The doors are planned so they open cleanly on a narrow landing. Typical reasons to get in touch are somewhere for coats, shoes and bags and floor-to-ceiling storage in a flat, and the answer is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
With a large share of homes around South Ealing built before 1919, the space under the stairs in a terraced house often holds the gas meter, the electricity meter or the fuse board. Those have to stay reachable, so any storage is designed around them. Sash and bay windows are common in houses of that age too, and good places for seating with storage below.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.

Questions from South Ealing
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Brentford station?
Yes, homes across Ealing and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Do you make fitted cupboards for homes in South Ealing?
Yes, we work across Ealing, South Ealing included, and across the rest of London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
Getting it in is planned at 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 does a fitted cupboard cost?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each cupboard is different, so we quote once we’ve seen the space. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. It depends on your lease, and some need consent for alterations. We cannot give advice on your lease.
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, but it helps to be around at the end.
When is bespoke worth it?
Where bespoke earns its keep is 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’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture typically costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Boards, parts and paint
Plinths and scribe strips
We use a plinth to set the cupboard level on an uneven floor. Scribe strips are trimmed to follow the wall.
Birch plywood
Long shelves in a cupboard need to stay straight under load, and birch plywood helps. Span, depth and load all matter.
Pricing fitted cupboards in South Ealing
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. This is what makes the difference:
- The width and height of the space
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The internal fittings
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Before the design visit
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, when we’ve measured up and talked through the design. For a quote, send us a few details through our contact form.
