How we make fitted wardrobes for Aldborough Hatch
Fitted wardrobes are built to the room, from the floor to the ceiling and from wall to wall where the space allows. That leaves no gap above to gather dust and no wasted space at the sides. If you are planning fitted wardrobes in Aldborough Hatch, we start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need. If you are living with clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms and musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall, fitted wardrobes made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
A good part of the housing around Aldborough Hatch is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the box room over the stairs is a classic spot for fitted furniture. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.

From workshop to your room
There isn’t much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as agreed during the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- To begin, use our contact form; a brief note on the bedroom and what you need to store is enough.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan the inside: long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers.
- The written quote sets out each wardrobe’s inside layout, the doors, the materials and the finish.
- Everything is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, which holds screws well for rails and runners.
- We fit the wardrobes in your home, then put in the rails, shelves and drawers at the heights we agreed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote starts with a few details: the room, rough sizes and some pictures if you have them. To send them, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a written quote.
Related advice
Flats, leases and landlords
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that is best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases.
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought wardrobes are made in set sizes, which leaves gaps above and beside them. A fitted wardrobe runs to the ceiling and the walls. In an extended or opened-up house, old and new walls often meet slightly out of line, and straight-sided ready-made units make that obvious. Fitted pieces are scribed to both.
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.
Why choose us
- We visit, measure and discuss the design before we quote
- A spray or hand-painted finish
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- More than 300 projects completed

What affects the price in Aldborough Hatch
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The width and height of the space
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- How many doors and drawers there are
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
What to send when you contact us
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres

Bedrooms in Aldborough Hatch: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Aldborough Hatch were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 46%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 20%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how fitted wardrobes are fixed and fitted. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Aldborough Hatch include Church of St Peter (Grade II), less than half a mile north, and Aldborough Hatch Chapel (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Redbridge sets its own rules. If parking near you is controlled, a visitor permit or a bay suspension may be needed, and the council arranges suspensions, often with notice. Let us know what the parking is like during the design visit.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Valentines Mansion, about 1.6 miles west. For a period home anywhere nearby, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice. For families living near William Torbitt Primary School, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

Why people ask for fitted wardrobes in Aldborough Hatch
Some bedrooms are hard to furnish. A sloping ceiling, a chimney breast, a low window or a door in the wrong place can defeat standard furniture. We shape fitted wardrobes around those features.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- Wasted space beside the chimney breast
- An awkward slope in a loft bedroom
- No space in front for doors to swing
- Too little room for clothes

Your questions about fitted wardrobes in Aldborough Hatch
Do you make fitted wardrobes for homes in Aldborough Hatch?
Yes. Aldborough Hatch is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Redbridge and London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Goodmayes station?
Yes, homes across Redbridge and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Can fitted wardrobes go either side of the bed?
Yes. Building around the bed uses a wall that often goes unused, with wardrobes at the sides and cupboards overhead. We measure the bed and the room at the design visit.
What if my bedroom floor isn’t level?
It is common, and it is allowed for. The wardrobe is set level with a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the walls so the doors close neatly.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Should I send pictures?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, particularly with rough measurements. You can send them when you send us a few details through our contact form.
