How fitting works for fitted cupboards
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. If you live in a block, check any rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours; if you live in a house, let us know about steps, paths and parking. We plan the details of the day at the design visit. Saturdays can be arranged.
- We start with a short note from you about the space and what it needs to hold.
- At the design visit we measure up and talk through doors, shelves and rails.
- You get a quote in writing for the cupboards we have agreed, for you to read through.
- The cupboards are made in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The cupboards are fitted in your home and trimmed to follow the walls.
Before fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
Ask for a quote
We quote once we’ve seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a quote in writing. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. To book a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

How we make fitted cupboards for Wallington
Meters and fuse boards often sit in the most tricky places, like by the front door or in a hallway corner. We can build a cupboard that tidies them away and still keeps access clear. Meter readers and engineers need to get to them, so we design doors or removable panels that make that easy. We make fitted cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the things people most often want solved are a boiler cupboard that keeps access clear and cupboards that suit a period house.
In a part of London with mixed housing, like much of the city, no two homes have quite the same walls and floors. Fitted cupboards are scribed and levelled on site, so they look straight even where the room is not. You choose the paint colour, and whether it is spray-painted or hand-painted.
A quote in writing is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the fitted cupboard designed for your room, its materials and its finish.

Making use of awkward spaces in Wallington
In the streets around Wallington, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 30%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 29%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how fitted cupboards are fixed and fitted. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Wallington include Church of All Saints (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles west, and Church of the Holy Trinity (Grade II), less than half a mile west. For a listed home, internal works that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. All of London, Sutton included, is inside the ULEZ. It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Wallington. Access and parking are talked through at the design visit.
Close to Carshalton Park? Fitted cupboards can be designed to hold outdoor kit, from walking boots to picnic things. For a family home near Holy Trinity CofE Junior School, fitted cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.

What affects the price in Wallington
The price for your room depends on:
- How big the furniture is
- How many doors and drawers there are
- How square the room is
- The internal fittings
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll typically ask about:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
A quote begins with some details from you: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, get in touch through our contact form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Tips worth knowing
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Mention any boiler, meter or fuse board early
- Deal with any damp walls first
- Leave room in front of the meters
- Think about what each cupboard will hold
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.
Any damp should be dealt with before furniture goes against a wall. Damp behind a cupboard can lead to mould, especially on a colder external wall. We can allow for ventilation where it’s needed.
Why people ask for fitted cupboards in Wallington
Moving into a flat often shows how little built-in storage there is. A cupboard in the hallway or a spare recess can change how the home works, especially when it uses the full height of the room.
Some of the things we are asked to solve are these:
- A neat cupboard around the boiler
- Storage for towels and bedding
- Tidying away the gas and electricity meters
- Floor-to-ceiling storage in a flat
If you live in a flat close to Wallington station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.

Common questions about fitted cupboards
Can you make fitted cupboards for a home in Wallington?
Yes. Wallington is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Sutton and London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with a few details.
Will a conservation area stop me having fitted cupboards fitted in Wallington?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so 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.
What happens at the measuring visit?
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.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you before anything is painted.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
