Caring for painted furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care. Here are our suggestions:
- Think about whether hinged doors will clear the bed
- Let us know about any damp you have seen on bedroom walls
- Empty the area where we’ll be working
- Think about where you’ll keep shoes, bags and folded clothes
Once clothes go in and the wardrobes are in daily use, doors may settle slightly. Most hinges can be adjusted to bring a door back in line, and sliding doors can be adjusted on their runners.
Close doors gently and don’t let them swing into furniture, and keep sliding doors from crashing into the ends. It keeps hinges and runners in adjustment longer.
Fitted wardrobes for homes in Blendon
Rooms under a slope are common in loft conversions and top-floor rooms. We can shape a wardrobe to follow the ceiling line, keeping long hanging where there’s height and drawers or shelves lower down. It turns an awkward corner into storage. If you’re living with empty alcoves in the bedroom and mismatched bedroom furniture, that’s what fitted wardrobes are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Around Blendon, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the spare room may be the small one at the front, over the hall and stairs. Small rooms like that suit fitted wardrobes, whether the room is a guest room, a dressing room or a study. Nothing is assumed: the room is measured wall by wall.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the fitted wardrobe designed for your room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

Questions from Blendon
Is Blendon in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London, and Blendon is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Blendon?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, especially with rough measurements. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We’ll explain what fitting day involves before we start.
How fitting works for fitted wardrobes
On the morning of the fitting, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop, one at a time. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are usually straightforward, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it is going.
- You contact us with some details about the room and the wardrobes you’d like, with a rough idea of what you need to hang and fold.
- At the design visit, we measure the room, check the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the doors and inside with you. Hinged or sliding doors are part of that conversation.
- You receive a quote setting out the design and the paint finish.
- The wardrobes are made in sections in our workshop.
- We fit them in your home, scribe them to the walls and hang the doors. The rails, shelves and drawers go in last.
How to prepare
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Getting a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit for you to look over. To book one, fill in our short enquiry form.

Bedroom storage in Blendon
In the neighbourhood around Blendon, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 63%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 22%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Near the centre of Blendon, Historic England’s list includes Jays Cottages (Grade II), under half a mile north, and Chapel House (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character may need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. Controlled parking zones are run by the boroughs, so the rules in Bexley are set locally. If your street in Blendon is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. We ask about parking at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
The wider area includes historic houses like Danson House, about 0.7 miles north. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. For an older house near St James the Great, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. Close to Danson Park? Fitted wardrobes are typically planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.

How it’s made
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribe strips are trimmed on site to follow the walls and ceiling. This closes the gaps a straight wardrobe would leave in an older room.
Moisture-resistant MDF
With no grain to show through, MDF gives a calm painted finish. The moisture-resistant grade is our choice for fitted work.
Other services in Blendon
Is bespoke worth it?
Walls and floors in older homes are seldom straight or level. Standalone wardrobes may lean or leave uneven gaps against the wall. We set fitted wardrobes level and scribe them to the walls and ceiling. Standard widths rarely add up to the length of a real wall, which fitted furniture avoids. It can use the full height too.
We don’t publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, talk through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
