Fitted wardrobes in Brent Cross
Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is quick to buy.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. Off-the-shelf furniture can’t typically do that in an older room.
Fitted wardrobes in Brent Cross
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, and clothes pressed against a cold wall can lead to condensation. Where a wardrobe goes on an external wall, we plan ventilation behind and inside it. Moisture-resistant MDF is a sensible choice there too. We make fitted wardrobes from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the usual reasons to get in touch are clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms and wasted space beside the chimney breast.
A bedroom in a house from between the wars usually has simpler mouldings than a Victorian one, so fitted furniture can often run neatly to the ceiling. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Brent Cross, high cupboards make a good home for suitcases and spare bedding. Skirting boards are cut around neatly.

Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
Bought wardrobes are made in set sizes, so there’s normally a gap on top and at the ends. A fitted wardrobe runs to the ceiling and the walls, so the space is used and there’s nowhere for dust to collect on top. 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. Built-in pieces are scribed to take up the difference.
How it is 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 happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in.

Ask for a quote
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and talk through the design with you, and the written quote comes after.

Advice
What it costs
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- Parking near your home
- The number of doors and drawers
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Before the design visit
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Examples of the look you’re after
- What the furniture needs to hold
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Questions from Brent Cross
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Brent Cross?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in Brent Cross?
Yes. We cover all of Barnet and the rest of London, and Brent Cross 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.
Should I choose hinged or sliding wardrobe doors?
That depends on how much space there is in front of the wardrobe. If a bed or a door is close, sliding doors can make more sense, while hinged doors suit rooms with space to open them. We’ll look at the room with you at the design visit.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
It is worked out with you when we measure, starting from the clothes you have. Some shelves can be adjustable so the layout can change.
What affects the price of fitted wardrobes?
Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. You will get a quote in writing once we have measured up.
Where other trades come in
Before you plan the job, it is useful to know what we don’t do:
- Taking out a chimney breast to make space
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
- The loft conversion itself, which is building work under Building Regulations
