Questions we’re often asked
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Tulse Hill station?
Yes, homes across Lambeth and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
I live in a flat in Tulse Hill. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Fitted cupboards are built in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can I send pictures before the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
What happens during the design 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, then send a quote in writing.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
How is the furniture 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.
Fitted cupboards for homes in Tulse Hill
Our fitted cupboards are made for homes in Tulse Hill and all over London. It starts with a design visit, where we measure and talk through what you need, and then send you a quote. Once agreed, we make the cupboards in our workshop and fit them in your home. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote, so you’ll know before we start. People usually come to us about boxing in a boiler with room for servicing and built-in storage that matches the woodwork; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Original features like shutters, cupboard doors and panelling are worth keeping where they survive. With a large share of the homes around Tulse Hill built before 1919, fitted storage can be designed to sit alongside them. Panel details can be drawn to suit the house, and painted to match. For a listed home, fixing into original joinery can need consent, so check first.
You get the quote in writing, so you can read it at your own pace. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Is it time for fitted cupboards?
Sometimes the aim is to make storage look like part of the room. Painted doors with a simple frame can sit happily alongside period skirting and coving, so the cupboard looks as if it belongs.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- Using the full height of a room
- Cupboards that sit well with skirting and coving
- Cupboards for a utility or boot room
- A cupboard for the meters with easy access
If you live in a period home close to Holy Trinity Church, a landing recess can take a linen cupboard built to its exact size.
Before you choose who makes it
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- Whether you will get a quote in writing, not just a figure
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Let us know about meters and boilers in the space
- Make sure walls are dry before we fit
- List what you want to store before the design visit
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
Keep the way to the meters and fuse board clear. Avoid packing things in front of the meters, so they can be reached without a struggle.
Leasehold flats can have rules about alterations, so check your lease first. We can’t advise on your lease, and it is best done early.
What affects the cost of fitted cupboards
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
What we need to know
To give us a picture of the room, it helps to include:
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Your postcode and the borough
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- What the furniture needs to hold
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Where other trades come in
We make and fit furniture, and we don’t do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Plastering, decorating or repairs to the walls
- Wiring for lights or sockets
- Changes to meters, which are for your supplier or an electrician
If in doubt, you can fill in our short enquiry form and describe the room. How a job runs, step by step.

Tulse Hill homes and fitted cupboards
Homes built before 1919 make up about 46% of the housing in the streets around Tulse Hill, with about 23% built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. The National Heritage List records 12 entries within half a mile of the centre of Tulse Hill. Being near listed buildings doesn’t make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. The ULEZ, run by TfL, takes in all of London, so Lambeth is inside it. That includes the vans that bring and fit furniture in Tulse Hill. Parking and access are planned at the design visit.
Near listed buildings like Christ Church, about 0.5 miles west of the centre of Tulse Hill, older homes may keep original joinery that fitted cupboards can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. For a family home near St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up.

Landmarks near Tulse Hill

What happens on fitting day
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly. How long fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Older London houses often have narrow hallways and tight turns on the stairs, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route in. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out.
- First, you let us know about the room and what it needs.
- The design visit covers measuring and the layout inside, with a note of anything that must stay reachable.
- A quote in writing is sent to you, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- The cupboards are made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The cupboards are fitted in your home.
Before fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Keep pets in another room while we work
