Mitcham Fitted Wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes in Mitcham: floor-to-ceiling wardrobes built to the shape of your bedroom. Every piece is made at our workshop and fitted in your home, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
- Standard wardrobes that do not fill the wall
- An tricky slope in a loft bedroom
- No space in front for doors to swing
Fitted wardrobes designed for your room
Is it time for fitted wardrobes?
After a loft conversion, the new bedroom usually needs storage that suits the slopes. Wardrobes built under the slope use space that would otherwise sit empty, keeping the room clear.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- A sloping ceiling that’s hard to use
- Wasted space beside the chimney breast
- Too little room for clothes
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
For an older house near St. Mark's Church, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design.

About our fitted wardrobes in Mitcham
In a period bedroom, the alcoves beside the chimney breast make natural wardrobe spaces. Wardrobes in both alcoves leave the chimney breast on show, scribed to follow the uneven walls. Picture rails and cornices can be met neatly or cut around. People usually come to us about several odd pieces where one run of storage would do and gaps above and around standalone wardrobes; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a 1930s semi, the main bedroom often sits over the front room and its bay, which leaves the side walls for storage and the bay for light. Around Mitcham, a big part of the housing is interwar, semi-detached or detached, so that shape of room is worth knowing. Every wall is measured, as a room that looks square rarely is.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish.

What affects the cost of fitted wardrobes
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Parking near your home
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
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
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. Just send what you can:
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Your postcode and the borough
- Examples of the look you are after
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space. To share them, use our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
How fitting day works
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, which keeps the lines straight. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so any section going up there is sized for them. The main stairs in houses of that age are typically straighter. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and talk through the design, including the doors and the finish.
- We send a written quote.
- We build the wardrobes in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls and ceiling; a hand-painted finish is done on site.
- At the end we check each door and drawer with you; fresh paintwork needs gentle handling while it cures.
Before fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Ask for a quote
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing for you to look over. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Why bespoke in Mitcham?
Getting a big standalone wardrobe into a flat or up a tight stair can be difficult. We make fitted wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home, then put together in the room. Standard widths rarely add up to the length of a real wall, which fitted furniture avoids. It can use the full height too.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

What it’s made from
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting is done in the workshop, which gives large doors a smooth, even surface. It suits a crisp, modern look as well as a classic panelled door.
Birch plywood
Drawers get heavy use, so we often make the boxes from birch plywood.
Questions from Mitcham
Do you make fitted wardrobes for homes in Mitcham?
Yes, we work across Merton, Mitcham included, and across the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit.
Do you cover homes near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is it possible to build wardrobes into a loft room with a slope?
Yes. The wardrobe is shaped to the ceiling line, with long hanging where there’s height and shelves or drawers where it is lower. It makes good use of space that’s hard to furnish.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Can wardrobes be fitted on an uneven floor?
We allow for it from the start. The wardrobe is set level with a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the walls so the doors close neatly.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
