Fitted wardrobes in Crook Log
About our fitted wardrobes in Crook Log
Doors can be hinged or sliding. Hinged doors open a whole section at once. Sliding doors save that space in a narrow room, but only part of the inside is open at any one time. Which suits your room is something we talk through when we visit. If you are living with empty alcoves in the bedroom and storage boxes stacked under the bed, that’s what fitted wardrobes are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a 1930s semi, the main bedroom often sits over the front room and its bay, which leaves the side walls for storage and the bay for light. Interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing around Crook Log, so that shape of room is worth knowing. We measure every wall, even where the room looks square.

Fitting day, step by step
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Interwar houses usually have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, though we still measure the route in along with the room itself. Fitted wardrobes arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- You send us a few details about the room and the storage you need, including any slopes, windows or alcoves.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the doors and the inside with you.
- We send a quote in writing for the wardrobes, so you can see what’s included.
- Each section is built in our workshop to the room’s measurements, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, set level and scribed to the walls and ceiling. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Arranging a design visit
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, fill in our short enquiry form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.

Why people ask for fitted wardrobes in Crook Log
After a loft conversion, the new bedroom normally needs storage that suits the slopes. Wardrobes built under the slope use space that would otherwise sit empty, keeping the room clear.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- Clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms
- A room too narrow for hinged doors
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
- Space under the eaves going to waste
For a flat near Bexleyheath station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
What to check before you book
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
Looking after your furniture
Looking after painted furniture is simple. These habits help most:
- Plan any socket or switch changes with your electrician before fitting
- Clear the wall where the wardrobes will go before fitting day
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
- Look at whether your lease needs consent for alterations
New paintwork is dry to the touch long before it has fully cured. For the first while, open and close the doors gently and avoid knocking hangers against the inside.
Now and then, check that handles and hinges are tight.

Materials and finishes
Hand-painted finish

Plinths and scribe strips
Most fitted wardrobes in older homes need scribing at the sides and top. It’s what makes the wardrobe look built in.
