Fitted cupboards for your home in Willesden Green
Questions we’re often asked
I live near Kensal Rise station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Brent and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
Is Willesden Green in the area you cover for fitted cupboards?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London, and Willesden Green is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
Can you fit cupboards to walls that aren’t straight?
Yes. We scribe each cupboard to follow the wall and levelled with a plinth or adjustable feet. That’s one of the main reasons to choose fitted cupboards in an older house.
Can you box in my boiler with a fitted cupboard?
Yes. The cupboard is built around the space and ventilation the boiler’s instructions ask for, with doors that open wide for servicing. Work on the boiler itself is a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the job. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
Fitted cupboards in Willesden Green: what you get
Boxing in a boiler is a job that needs care. Every boiler comes with instructions on the space and ventilation around it, and we design the cupboard to keep to them. Doors open wide enough for servicing, while any work on the boiler is for a Gas Safe engineer. If you’re living with floor-to-ceiling storage in a flat and cupboards for a utility or boot room, that is what fitted cupboards are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A Victorian or Edwardian terrace normally has a long, narrow hall leading to the stairs. A large share of the homes around Willesden Green were built before 1919, so every bit of depth is weighed up when storage is planned. Shallow units keep the way through clear.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Tips worth knowing
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Think about what each cupboard will hold
- Have damp sorted before fitting
- Check stairs, landings and doorways for access
- Mention any boiler, meter or fuse board early
Keep the way to the meters and fuse board clear. Try not to fill the space in front of them, so they can be reached without a struggle.
It helps to list what you want to store before we measure. Coats, shoes, cleaning things and bedding all need different depths and fittings, and knowing this early saves changes later.
How fitting day works
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, particularly in a controlled parking zone, so it is useful to tell us during the design visit what’s outside. Unloading is kept short, with sections taken straight inside. Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement.
- We start with a short note from you about the space and what it needs to hold. It might be a hallway, a landing, a utility or a boot room.
- We come to your home for a design visit, measure the space and talk through the layout. For a boiler cupboard, we plan for the clearances and ventilation in the manufacturer’s instructions.
- A written quote follows, covering the design, materials and finish.
- We make the carcasses, doors and shelves in our workshop.
- We bring the cupboards to your home and fit them to the space. We check each door and shelf with you before we leave.
How to prepare
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day

Advice
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Tell us about it when you contact us.

When is bespoke worth it?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not 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.

Fenton House, about 2.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, fitted cupboards can fill recesses that are rarely a standard size.

What it costs
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. The things that affect it are:
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- How square the room is
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, 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
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- How you want to use the space
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, message us from the contact page. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
