About our fitted wardrobes in Foxbury
Wardrobes can be built around a bed, with cupboards each side and a run of storage above the headboard. In other rooms, the units sit either side of a window, sometimes with a dressing table or a window seat between them. We plan the layout so the room still feels open. People normally come to us about too little room for clothes and standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Post-war bedrooms tend to be simple rectangles, with the window on one wall and the door near a corner. Many homes around Foxbury date from between 1945 and the early 1970s, which often means a whole wall of fitted furniture with few tricky cuts. We plan the space in front first, so everything opens fully.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

How fitting works for fitted wardrobes
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. 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 we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Fixing into concrete takes a heavy-duty drill and makes some noise, so a word with the neighbours before fitting day can help. We work within any rules your building has on noise and hours. Dust is kept down and cleared as we go.
- You describe the bedroom and the storage you need.
- We come to measure and talk through hanging heights, doors and drawers.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a quote in writing.
- Once you’re happy, the wardrobes are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the room and the hallway
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone

Tips worth knowing
Getting the most from fitted wardrobes starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Ask your electrician about moving sockets early
- Mention if the wardrobe will go on an external wall
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
Don’t pack clothes tight against the back panel. Air moving through helps avoid condensation and mould.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear, particularly where the wardrobe meets an outside wall. Watch for musty smells or marks on clothes and have the cause looked at early.

How do I get started?

How long are you in the house for fitting?

The problems fitted wardrobes solve
Sometimes it is a change in how a room is used. Fitted wardrobes give it proper storage while leaving space to move. Inside, the layout can change as needs change.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Damp or musty clothes against an external wall
- Too little room for clothes
- Gaps above and around standalone wardrobes
- An awkward slope in a loft bedroom
If you live near Chislehurst Common, fitted wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Where they’ll park and unload
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. 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. We design shelves with that in mind.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Where other trades come in
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
- Building work to create a loft room
If in doubt, you can get in touch through our contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. Our process from visit to fitting.

We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Within a mile of the centre of Foxbury, 4 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mainly about the outside of buildings. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your home in Foxbury is on or near a main road, tell us at the measuring visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.

The wider area includes historic houses such as Eltham Palace, about 2.6 miles north-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice.
