Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
With off-the-shelf wardrobes, the colour choice is the maker’s. Fitted wardrobes are painted in a colour agreed with you, spray painted or hand painted. Bespoke work does take longer than buying from a shop. Off-the-shelf furniture comes in a few set depths, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. With fitted furniture, the depth is chosen for the room.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.

How we make fitted wardrobes for Ickenham
Rooms under a slope are common in loft conversions and top-floor rooms. We can shape a wardrobe to follow the ceiling line, with long hanging at the tall end and shelves or drawers where it gets lower. Space that is hard to use otherwise becomes useful storage. We make fitted wardrobes from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and people most often get in touch about wasted space beside the chimney breast and storage boxes stacked under the bed.
A good part of the housing around Ickenham is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Many 1930s houses have a small box room over the stairs, often with a raised bulkhead in the floor, and the bulkhead is built around rather than ignored. Main bedrooms from that era are often a good size, with a bay window at the front.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

What else we make in Ickenham
What it is made from
Doors and drawer fronts
Where there’s room to open them, hinged doors give full access. Sliding doors suit narrow rooms, though only part of the inside is open at once.
Hanging rails
A long rail needs a support in the middle. We plan the rail lengths with that in mind.
Caring for painted furniture
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Look at whether your lease needs consent for alterations
- Move furniture away from the wardrobe wall ahead of time
- Work out the split between long and short hanging
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
Leave a little space between clothes and the back of the wardrobe. Air moving through helps avoid condensation and mould.
Make sure vents at the top or bottom of the wardrobe aren’t blocked, particularly on an external wall. Watch for musty smells or marks on clothes.
Pricing fitted wardrobes in Ickenham
Several things affect the price:
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- How big the furniture is
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Getting in touch
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- What the furniture needs to hold
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
How fitting works for fitted wardrobes
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it is worth mentioning at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- It starts when you tell us about the room, the floor it is on and the wardrobes you want.
- We visit to measure the room and discuss the design, and we measure the stairs, landings and doorways too.
- 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.
- We carry the sections up, join them in the room and scribe them to the walls and ceiling.
Preparing the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a written quote.

Bedrooms in Ickenham: local notes
In the streets around Ickenham, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 39%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 35%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Part of Ickenham is in the Ickenham Village Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house does not normally need planning permission. The council can confirm if you are not sure. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home is on or just off a main road, it helps to mention it. We will plan where the van can stop.
Close to Church Field Gardens? Morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window. If your children go to The Douay Martyrs Catholic School or a school nearby, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else. Near listed buildings like Outbuildings to North of Swakeleys, less than half a mile north-west of the centre of Ickenham, older homes may keep original joinery that fitted wardrobes can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.

Questions from Ickenham
Do you make fitted wardrobes for homes in Ickenham?
Yes. We cover all of Hillingdon and the rest of London, and Ickenham is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, and then we send a quote.
I live near West Ruislip station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hillingdon and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician. We will design around them.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
Size, doors and drawers, what goes inside and the finish all affect it. We send a written quote after the design visit.

Not usually. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room.
