Fitted Wardrobes in Fortune Green

Do you need fitted wardrobes in Fortune Green?

Couples often want storage that works for two. We can plan separate sections for each person, each with the rails, shelves and drawers its owner needs.

Some of the things we are asked to solve include:

• No space in front for doors to swing
• Clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms
• Dusty space on top of the wardrobe
• Condensation behind a wardrobe on an outside wall

Fenton House, about 0.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design.

Before you hire any carpenter

• Have they thought about parking near you?
• Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
• Will the quote be in writing?
• Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?

How fitting works for fitted wardrobes

Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s normally only filling and touching up to do in the room; 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. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, particularly in a controlled parking zone, so it helps to tell us at the measuring visit what’s outside. Unloading is kept short, with sections taken straight inside. Saturday fitting can be arranged.

1. To begin, use our contact form; a brief note on the bedroom and what you need to store is enough.
2. At the design visit we measure the room and plan the inside: long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers.
3. The written quote sets out each wardrobe’s inside layout, the doors, the materials and the finish.
4. Everything is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, which holds screws well for rails and runners.
5. The wardrobes are fitted in your home, spray-painted in the workshop or hand-painted on site, and the inside fittings go in last.

Getting ready for fitting day

• Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
• Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
• Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to

Ask for a quote

It helps to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough measurements. To share them, message us from the contact page, and we will arrange a design visit.

What it costs

Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:

• The overall size of the piece
• Doors and drawers, and how many
• Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
• Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square

In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.

What we need to know

Some details help us understand the job before we visit. When you get in touch, it is useful to send:

• Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
• A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
• Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
• Approximate measurements of the space

There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we have measured up and talked through the design. For a quote, get in touch through our contact form.
