Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it at the design visit.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
How we make fitted wardrobes for Primrose Hill
We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. Doors and panels are spray painted in the workshop or hand painted, in the colour you choose. We then fit them in your home, setting them level on adjustable feet or a plinth and scribing them to the walls and ceiling. If you are living with a bedroom that never feels tidy and a tight bedroom where doors get in the way, fitted wardrobes made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
In a flat, a spare bedroom often doubles as a study or a guest room, and closed storage lets the room change role without clutter. Purpose-built flats are home to most households around Primrose Hill. Doors and drawers are planned to open fully in the space you have.

Your questions about fitted wardrobes in Primrose Hill
How do you fit fitted wardrobes in a flat in Primrose Hill?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It is useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Primrose Hill?
It can be, as controlled parking zones cover much of inner London. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It is useful to let us know about parking at the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. We’re carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design, and any new sockets are best done before fitting day.
Is it possible to have storage over the bed?
Yes. Wardrobes can sit either side of the bed with a bridge of cupboards above. We plan it so the bed fits comfortably and the room still feels open.
Should I choose hinged or sliding wardrobe doors?
Both work well, depending on the space. Hinged doors give full access but need clear space in front, while sliding doors save space but only open part of the wardrobe at a time. We talk through both during the design visit.

How we price fitted wardrobes
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- How square the room is
- The internal fittings
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It helps to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.
Helping us understand the room
Some details help us understand the job before we visit. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. When you’re ready, tell us about the room on our contact form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Bedroom storage in Primrose Hill
In the neighbourhood around Primrose Hill, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 27%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. That matters for fitted wardrobes, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. The Primrose Hill Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Primrose Hill. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. Parking on many inner London streets is controlled, with zones run by each borough. For fitting in Primrose Hill, a van typically needs a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking during the design visit.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Winfield House, about 0.7 miles south. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go. Close to Regent's Park? Keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. Near listed buildings like Chimps Breeding Colony the Gorilla House, under half a mile south-east of the centre of Primrose Hill, 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.
Primrose Hill is part of the London Borough of Camden, about 2 miles south-east of St Pancras. We cover Primrose Hill as part of our work across Camden, and the process is the same everywhere we work. Our work takes in places right across Camden.

Fitting day, step by step
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall. 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. Noise from drilling travels in a block, so neighbours may appreciate a note, and some buildings set hours for noisy work. We plan the day to suit those rules. Saturday work is by prior arrangement where the building permits it.
- You get in touch and tell us what you keep in your wardrobes now.
- We visit to measure up and work out the inside with you, from rail heights to drawer depths.
- The written quote sets out each wardrobe’s inside layout, the doors, the materials and the finish.
- Everything is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, which holds screws well for rails and runners.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, spray-painted in the workshop or hand-painted on site, and the inside fittings go in last.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Arranging a design visit
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 written quote. To book one, use our contact form.

Before you plan the job, it helps to know what we do not do:
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist

What goes into it
- Birch plywood
- Hand-painted finish
- Hanging rails, shelves and drawers
- Moisture-resistant MDF

How it is made
Spray-painted finish
A sprayed coat covers edges, corners and panels evenly. You choose the colour before we start.
Plinths and scribe strips
Scribing means trimming edges on site to follow the walls and ceiling. It’s how a straight carcass meets a wall that is not straight.
