About our fitted wardrobes in Greenhill
Rail heights are set for the clothes they hold. Long coats and dresses need one tall section, while shirts, jackets and folded trousers suit two rails, one above the other. We plan for the people using it too, keeping rails at a height they can reach. If you are living with not enough hanging space and empty alcoves in the bedroom, fitted wardrobes made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Victorian and Edwardian bedrooms typically have a chimney breast on one wall and a recess either side. That layout is worth knowing around Greenhill, where a large share of homes were built before 1919. Storage can go in each recess, with a bridge of cupboards over the chimney breast. The flue behind is kept ventilated, and any damp is sorted first.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

Questions from Greenhill
Does a conservation area in or near Greenhill affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in Greenhill?
Yes, we work across Camden, Greenhill included, and across the rest of London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
What if my bedroom floor isn’t level?
Floors in older houses are often out of level. We set fitted wardrobes level on a plinth or adjustable feet, so the doors hang true.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How do you get fitted wardrobes into a flat?
We make the wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home. We measure the stairs, landings and lift as well as the bedroom. In a leasehold flat, it is worth checking the lease first.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you.

Before and after fitting day
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Decide what goes on shelves and what goes in drawers
- Empty the area where we’ll be working
- Plan any socket or switch changes with your electrician before fitting
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
Painted doors feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. At first, handle the doors with care and avoid knocking hangers against the inside.
Make sure vents at the top or bottom of the wardrobe are not blocked, particularly on an external wall. Watch for musty smells or marks on clothes.
Could you do it yourself?
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. Off-the-shelf furniture cannot usually do that in an older room.
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 is something we plan for in the design.
What happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so there is some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so tell us about permits and bays at the design visit.
- You get in touch with a few details about the bedroom and where it is in the house.
- We visit to measure the room and talk through the design, and we measure the stairs, landings and doorways too. Tell us about parking as well, as a van normally needs a permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension in much of London.

- The wardrobes are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route we measured.

Advice
Bedroom storage in Greenhill
Homes built before 1919 make up about 65% of the housing in the area around Greenhill, with about 10% built between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for fitted wardrobes, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. There are 450 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Greenhill. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. The share of homes built before 1919 around Greenhill, about 65%, is well above the figure for Camden as a whole, about 49%, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of fitted wardrobes.
If you live in a flat close to Hampstead Heath station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. If your children go to The Royal School or a school nearby, fitted wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. If you live near Hampstead Heath, morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window.

What it costs
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Parking near your home
- How big the furniture is
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Helping us understand the room
To help us picture the room, please include:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
To make a start, get in touch through our contact form and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
Honest limits
We design, make and fit the furniture. In practice, that means:
- The loft conversion itself, which is building work under Building Regulations
- Removing walls, chimney breasts or any structural work
- Fixing the cause of condensation or damp
