How we make fitted wardrobes for Richmond upon Thames
Hanging heights are planned around your clothes, not a catalogue. A tall section suits long coats and dresses, while two rails, one over the other, suit shirts and jackets. We plan for the people using it too. If you’re living with wardrobes that are full to bursting and several odd pieces where one run of storage would do, that’s what fitted wardrobes are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A bedroom used as a guest room, a study or a dressing room needs different storage. Whatever your home in Richmond upon Thames is like, the first question at the measuring visit is what the room needs to do. Then the layout, doors and inside fittings follow. You choose the colour, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Where other trades are needed, for example an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Questions from Richmond upon Thames
My home in Richmond upon Thames is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Fitted wardrobes are made in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in Richmond upon Thames?
Yes, Richmond upon Thames is within the area we cover, which takes in all of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and discuss the design, and then we send a quote.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Will a sloping floor cause problems for fitted wardrobes?
Floors in older houses are often out of level. The wardrobes are levelled on adjustable feet or a plinth and the doors line up.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Can a fitted wardrobe go against a cold wall?
Yes. We plan ventilation behind and inside wardrobes on external walls. If there’s damp on the wall already, it should be sorted first.
Pricing fitted wardrobes in Richmond upon Thames
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Getting in touch
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough sizes and some photos if you have them. When you’re ready, tell us about the room on our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a quote in writing.
Practical tips
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Decide what goes on shelves and what goes in drawers
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
- Mention if the wardrobe will go on an external wall
- Check how much space there is in front for doors to open
Painted wardrobe doors only need a soft cloth that is barely damp. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays.
Let doors close gently rather than slamming. It helps the hinges and runners stay true.
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought wardrobes are made in set sizes, which leaves gaps above and beside them. A fitted wardrobe fills the space wall to wall and up to the ceiling. Ready-made furniture rarely suits a recess, a slope or an odd corner, and most homes have one somewhere. Fitted furniture is designed around them.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.

How fitting works for fitted wardrobes
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made at our workshop come in next, one at a time. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. We measure the hall, stairs, doors and any lift not just the room, so fitted wardrobes arrive in sections that fit through. We cover floors and doorways on the way in.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room.
- At the design visit we measure the room and agree the layout and doors.
- Your written quote follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- 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 we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Keep pets in another room while we work

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
