Kensal Green Fitted Wardrobes
For homes in Kensal Green, we make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. The finish is spray painted or hand painted, in a colour agreed with you.
- Mismatched bedroom furniture
- Bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes
- Not enough hanging space
Fitted wardrobes designed for your room
What it costs
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. This is what makes the difference:
- How big the furniture is
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Parking near your home
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
What we need to know
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Your postcode and the borough
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A written quote follows the visit. To arrange the visit, message us from the contact page.
Fitted wardrobes in Kensal Green
Some bedrooms suit wardrobes that wrap around the bed, with tall cupboards either side and storage bridging over the headboard. Others work around a window, with a dressing table or seat in between. We plan the layout so the room still feels open. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are an awkward slope in a loft bedroom and empty alcoves in the bedroom.
Sash windows are common in Victorian and Edwardian houses, and the window position and deep reveals affect where furniture can go. For one of the older homes that make up a large share of the housing around Kensal Green, we plan the layout so the window opens fully and the light still comes in. Doors on fitted pieces are hung to clear the bed and any radiator.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

How fitting day works
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so there’s some trimming and adjusting on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. It helps to tell us about parking during the design visit, as terraced streets are often busy.
- You get in touch and tell us about the bedroom.
- We visit to measure the room and talk through the design. We also look at the way in, in case the sections need to go up narrow stairs.
- Your quote follows, with the layout, materials and finish set out, so you can see what’s included.
- We make the carcasses, doors and drawers in our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, levelled and scribed to the walls. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything around fitted wardrobes is carpentry, from an electrician to a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
- Converting a loft (we build storage in lofts that are already converted)
- Redecorating around the wardrobes
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can message us from the contact page and we will give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.

Kensal Green homes and fitted wardrobes
The biggest shares of homes in the area around Kensal Green were built before 1919 (about 62%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 14%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Kensal Green include The Anglican Chapel (Grade I), less than half a mile south, and The Dissenters Chapel (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-east. For a listed home, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. The share of homes built before 1919 around Kensal Green, about 62%, is well above the figure for Brent as a whole, about 28%, 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 period home close to St Martin, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice. The wider area includes historic houses such as Kensington Palace, about 2.4 miles south-east. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. Living in a block of flats near Kensal Green station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.

Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawer fronts can sit behind the doors or on the outside as you prefer. Internal drawers keep a clean run of doors.
Birch plywood
Wardrobe shelves can carry more weight than you’d think. Birch plywood keeps them flat, even across a wide section.
Flats, leases and landlords
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Kensal Green station?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Will a conservation area stop me having fitted wardrobes fitted in Kensal Green?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, internal works that affect its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We will design around them.
Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions and fitted storage suits them well. The slope is measured at the measuring visit and the wardrobe scribed to it on site.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you contact us.
Which is better for fitted wardrobes, hinged or sliding doors?
That depends on how much space there is in front of the wardrobe. If a bed or a door is close, sliding doors can make more sense. We look at it with you when we measure.
