Fitted wardrobes in Ealing
How we make fitted wardrobes for Ealing
A fitted wardrobe is built into the room itself, running floor to ceiling and wall to wall where the space allows. There’s no dusty gap on top and no awkward space at the ends. If you are planning fitted wardrobes in Ealing, the first step is a design visit to measure up and go through the design. 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 musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall.
With a large share of homes around Ealing built before 1919, lots of bedrooms have solid brick external walls. Those walls can be colder than internal ones, so wardrobes and storage on them are designed with ventilation behind and inside to help avoid condensation. Smaller back bedrooms in houses of that age are good places for fitted wardrobes.
A written quote follows the design visit. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so it is clear what’s included.

How fitting works for fitted wardrobes
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. On fitting day, edges are trimmed on site to follow the walls, so a clear area to work in near the room helps. We keep dust down and tidy as we go. Hand painting, if that’s your finish, can follow the fitting.
- You get in touch with a few details about the bedroom and where it is in the house.
- At the design visit we plan the wardrobes with you and check the route in, including any lift or tight stair turn. Tell us about parking as well, as a van typically needs a permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension in much of London.
- You receive a written quote for the wardrobes.
- In our workshop the wardrobes are built in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, so each piece fits through the doors and round the landings.
- Fitting day: the sections come in, are joined and set level, and the doors are hung.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Starting with a design visit
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, message us from the contact page. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.

When you need someone else
Some parts of a job need another trade, such as an electrician, a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- Structural changes to the room
- Decorating or plastering the room
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
Not sure whether your space suits fitted wardrobes? You can fill in our short enquiry form and we’ll tell you before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.
Materials and parts
- Hand-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Birch plywood
- Spray-painted finish
- Hanging rails, shelves and drawers
- Hinged or sliding doors
Caring for painted furniture
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
- Clear the wall where the wardrobes will go before fitting day
Hang clothes evenly along each rail instead of crowding one section. Heavy coats are best on a short rail or near a support, so the rail stays straight.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear. Watch for musty smells or marks on clothes and deal with any damp early.
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Is Ealing in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes. We cover the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
I live near Ealing Broadway station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover the whole of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with some details about the room.
Is it possible to have storage over the bed?
Yes. Building around the bed uses a wall that often goes unused. We measure the bed and the room at the design visit.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We’ll design around them.
Should I send pictures?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. It is useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
You choose the mix of hanging, shelves and drawers. Long hanging, double hanging, shelves, drawers and shoe space can all be included, in the proportions you need. We talk it through at the measuring visit.
The problems fitted wardrobes solve
A finished loft conversion often leaves a new bedroom with sloping walls and no storage. Wardrobes built under the slope use space that would otherwise sit empty, leaving the floor open.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting in touch:
- Storage boxes stacked under the bed
- A room too narrow for hinged doors
- Standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
If you live in a period home close to St Saviour's Church, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design.
What to check before you book
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done

What else we make in Ealing
Flats, conversions and lettings
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, often to make the most of a small or awkward room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
Bedrooms in Ealing: local notes
About 56% of the homes in the streets around Ealing went up before 1919, and about 19% since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Ealing is in the Ealing Green Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house does not normally need permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. About 56% of homes in the neighbourhood around Ealing were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Bedrooms in houses of that age often have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit wardrobes built to their widths, scribed to walls that aren’t straight.
If you live in a flat close to Ealing Broadway station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. For families living near Ealing Independent College, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.
