Questions we are often asked
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Coldharbour?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by 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. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Mottingham station?
Yes, homes across Greenwich and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Will a sloping floor cause problems for fitted wardrobes?
It is common, and it is allowed for. We level the wardrobe on a plinth or feet and scribe it to the walls.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
The inside is planned around your clothes. It can include long and double hanging, shelves, drawers and space for shoes, in the proportions you need. We plan it with you when we visit.
How do I get started?
The first step is to drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
How we make fitted wardrobes for Coldharbour
Some bedrooms suit wardrobes that wrap around the bed, with tall cupboards either side and storage bridging over the headboard. In other rooms, the units sit either side of a window. We plan the layout so the room still feels open. We make fitted wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are not enough hanging space and an awkward slope in a loft bedroom.
Around Coldharbour, 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. That is where fitted wardrobes earn their place, making a small room work as a dressing room, a guest room or both. Nothing is assumed: the room is measured wall by wall.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

More for homes in Coldharbour
Bedroom storage in Coldharbour
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Coldharbour were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 50%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 33%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Coldharbour is partly covered by a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Your council can advise if you’re unsure. All of London, Greenwich included, is inside the ULEZ. Vans bringing furniture to Coldharbour fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. Parking and access are planned at the design visit.
For families living near Mottingham Primary School, the inside of fitted wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow. If you live near Elmstead Wood, a bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Geffery' s Homes (Almshouses), original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.
Coldharbour is about 4 miles north of Plumstead, part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Whether your home in Coldharbour is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Coldharbour is one of 18 places on our list for Greenwich.
Every home in SE9 and BR7 is within our area for fitted wardrobes. If your home is on a street like Green Lane, Horley Road and Dorset Road, or close by, we can arrange a design visit for fitted wardrobes. Nearby, we also make fitted wardrobes in Mottingham (1 mile west), Chinbrook (1 mile west), New Eltham (1 mile north-east), Eltham (1 mile north) and Middle Park (1 mile north-west). Other parts of Greenwich we cover include Plumstead (4 miles north), Greenwich (4 miles north-west), Woolwich (4 miles north), Westcombe Park (4 miles north), Well Hall (2 miles north) and Maze Hill (4 miles north-west).
What’s near Coldharbour
The streets we cover here include those near St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School. The closest station to Coldharbour is Mottingham station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find Eltham Community Hospital (1.3 miles north). Green spaces nearby include The Tarn.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
It’s worth being honest about cost: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
How we price fitted wardrobes
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How square the room is
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The width and height of the space
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, 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. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
What we need to know
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we’ve measured up and talked through the design. For a quote, message us from the contact page.
What we do not do
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Decorating or plastering the room
- Building work to create a loft room
- Structural changes to the room
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can tell us about the room on our contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. Our process from visit to fitting.

Materials and finishes
Hanging rails
Rails are set at heights that suit your clothes: one high rail for long coats and dresses, two rails for shirts and jackets.
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish is applied in our workshop, which gives large doors a smooth, even surface. It suits a crisp, modern look as well as a classic panelled door.
What happens on fitting day
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand helps the day run well. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
