Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Is Cranham in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes, we work across Havering, Cranham included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Upminster station?
Yes, homes across Havering and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
How do I get started?
It’s easiest to fill in our short enquiry form. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. We are carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
How we make fitted wardrobes for Cranham
In a period bedroom, the alcoves beside the chimney breast make natural wardrobe spaces. A pair of alcove wardrobes keeps the chimney breast as a feature, and each one is scribed to walls that are rarely straight. Picture rails and cornices can be met neatly or cut around. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are clothes with nowhere proper to go and bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Cranham, 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.

From workshop to your room
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. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know during the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- To begin, tell us about the room on 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.
- The wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, ready for the rails, shelves and drawers you chose.
- We fit the wardrobes in your home, then put in the rails, shelves and drawers at the heights we agreed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time

Related advice
Could you do it yourself?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
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 use the full height and width.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you contact us.
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
Boards, parts and paint
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribing means trimming edges on site to follow the walls and ceiling. It is how a straight carcass meets a wall that isn’t straight.
Hanging rails
Long rails need support so they do not bend under heavy coats when it carries winter coats. We plan the rail lengths with that in mind.
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought wardrobes are made in set sizes, so there is normally a gap on top and at the ends. A fitted wardrobe fills the space wall to wall and up to the ceiling, so the space is used and there is nowhere for dust to collect on top. The spaces between doors, windows and radiators are seldom a stock size, which leaves ready-made pieces sitting awkwardly. Built-in pieces are planned around those fixed points.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit, so it can be planned.

Fitted bedroom furniture in Cranham
About 64% of the homes in the area around Cranham went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 21% between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Cranham include Upminster Hall (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles north-west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, like fixing into original panelling. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. About 64% of homes in the streets around Cranham were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, fixed to suit the wall.
For an older house near St Luke's Cranham, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go. Close to St. Andrew's Park? Fitted wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
