How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Newer homes often have finished floors, painted walls and new doors that mark easily, so everything on the way in is covered before the sections arrive. Corners and door frames are covered as well. Once inside, the pieces are joined in place.
- You contact us about fitted wardrobes.
- We come to measure and discuss the design, including the doors and the finish.
- We send a quote in writing.
- We build the wardrobes in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wardrobes are fitted and scribed, with any hand painting done in the room.
- Before we leave, we go through the doors and drawers with you. New paint takes time to cure, so treat it gently at first.
Before fitting day
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
Arranging a design visit
To get a quote, send us a few details 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 a quote in writing follows.

Fitted wardrobes in North Woolwich
Hanging heights are planned around your clothes, not a catalogue. A tall section suits long coats and dresses, while shirts, jackets and folded trousers suit two rails, one above the other. We also think about who uses it, so the top rail is within comfortable reach. If you are living with space under the eaves going to waste and standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall, fitted wardrobes made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
Many newer homes have tall windows or full-height glazing in the bedroom, so the remaining walls have to work harder. Many homes around North Woolwich were built since 2000, so we make the most of the walls you have. Corner sections are planned so nothing is wasted.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we have agreed. It sets out the fitted wardrobe designed for your room, its materials and its finish, and the workshop works from it.

Fitted bedroom furniture in North Woolwich
Homes built since 2000 make up about 40% of the housing in the area around North Woolwich, with about 26% built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). 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 North Woolwich include Church of St Mary Magdalene (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles south, and Granada Cinema (Grade II*), about 0.6 miles south. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Newham sets its own rules. If your road in North Woolwich falls in a zone, the van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit.
Close to Beckton District Park? Morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they won’t shade the window. If your home is one of the older houses near St John's Church, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice. For families living near Oasis Academy Silvertown, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

Questions from North Woolwich
Do you make fitted wardrobes for homes in North Woolwich?
Yes. We cover all of Newham and the rest of London, and North Woolwich is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, followed by a quote.
Do you cover homes near Woolwich Dockyard station?
Yes. We cover all of Newham and the rest of London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
You choose the mix of hanging, shelves and drawers. Long hanging, double hanging, shelves, drawers and shoe space can all be included. We plan it with you when we visit.
Can fitted wardrobes go either side of the bed?
Yes. A common layout is tall cupboards either side of the bed and storage above the headboard. It’s planned so there’s room around the bed and the room does not feel enclosed.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
It depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. The wardrobes are built in our workshop first, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
Can I send pictures ahead of the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Flats, conversions and lettings
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it’s worth raising during the design visit.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Standard wardrobes can’t follow a slope. A fitted wardrobe can be shaped to the ceiling line, with hanging where it is tall and drawers or shelves where it’s low. Rooms in newer homes are often compact, and standard depths can take too much floor, whereas fitted pieces can be as shallow as the space needs. It still uses the full height.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

What affects the cost of fitted wardrobes
Prices vary from room to room, and it comes down to:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The internal fittings
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside.
What to send when you get in touch
There is no need for exact sizes or plans. Just send what you can:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Approximate measurements of the space
- How you want to use the space
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, fill in our short enquiry form.
