Fitted cupboards for homes in Tokyngton
Hallways in London homes are often long and narrow, so every cupboard needs to be worth the room it takes. We can make a shallow cupboard for coats, shoes and bags that still leaves room to pass, fitted out with a rail, hooks or shelves. A bench with a lift-up lid or drawers under it is another option for putting shoes on by the door. If your home has using the full height of a room and space for laundry, cleaning things and boots, fitted cupboards made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Many homes around Tokyngton have been built since 2000, and newer homes rarely come with much storage. Fitted storage can turn a hallway recess, a landing or the space under the stairs into somewhere useful. Plasterboard stud walls are common, so fixings go into the studs or use fixings made for the board.

What affects the cost of fitted cupboards
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- How big the furniture is
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
Awkward rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. That is reflected in the quote, which we write after seeing the room.
Before the design visit
When you contact us, these help most:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any ideas or images you have saved
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit. To arrange it, use our contact form with some details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.

Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Part of Tokyngton is in a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data.

What we do not do
We design, make and fit the furniture. That means:
- Any plumbing in a utility room
- Moving or servicing a boiler
- Changes to meters, which are for your supplier or an electrician
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can tell us about the room on our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How it works.
Materials and parts
- Spray-painted finish
- Ventilated doors
- Adjustable shelves
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Hand-painted finish
Flats, leases and landlords
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
How fitting day works
Every fitting follows the same 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. The time the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Fitting day starts by covering floors and setting out the sections. Each piece is levelled and fixed to suit plasterboard or block. Any hand painting can be finished on site.
- You get in touch and let us know whether the cupboard will house a boiler, meters or a fuse board.
- At the design visit we measure up and note the clearances and ventilation the boiler manufacturer asks for.
- You receive a written quote for the cupboards.
- 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.
Preparing the room
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Let us know about parking near your home

Related advice
Is bespoke worth it?
A ready-made cupboard rarely suits a boiler or meter. Clearances, ventilation and access all matter, and a cupboard made for the spot can allow for them. Big standalone units can dominate a compact room, while fitted furniture, painted in a colour that suits the walls, reads as part of the room.
We don’t publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, message us from the contact page.
Why us?
- Made for your room, not a standard size

Common questions about fitted cupboards
Will a conservation area stop me having fitted cupboards fitted in Tokyngton?
Typically 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. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you cover homes near Stonebridge Park station?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two ways to finish it: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Will the cupboards fit my uneven walls?
Yes, that is part of the job. Few walls in a period house are straight, so every cupboard is scribed and levelled.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
Can you build a cupboard around a boiler?
Yes, as long as the design respects the boiler’s instructions. We allow for the clearances and ventilation it needs and keep access clear for the engineer.
