How fitting day works
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It is useful to clear the room and the route before we arrive. On the day, we cover the floors first, then bring the sections in. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You describe the bedroom and the storage you need. A rough sketch of the room helps if you have one.
- We come to measure and talk through hanging heights, doors and drawers, with your clothes in mind.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote. It lists what’s inside each wardrobe as well as the doors.
- We then make the wardrobes in our workshop, ready for spraying or for hand painting on site.
- We bring them to your home and fit them in place. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.
Before we arrive
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Tell us about parking near your home
- Keep pets in another room while we work
Getting a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you do not, that’s fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, message us from the contact page.
Advice
Fitted wardrobes in Roxbourne: what you get
What goes inside is where a fitted wardrobe earns its place. We plan the mix of long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers around your clothes, so nothing is squashed and no height is wasted. It’s worth noting the clothes you reach for most before the design visit. If you’re living with clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms and standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall, that is what fitted wardrobes are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
A good part of the housing around Roxbourne is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the box room over the stairs is a classic spot for fitted furniture, and the bulkhead is built around rather than ignored. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, as it makes good use of an tricky room. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.

Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Roxbourne?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Will fitted wardrobes get up the stairs to my flat?
Each wardrobe is built in sections that suit the stairs, landings and lift. Tell us if your block has lift or concierge booking rules.
Who chooses the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you.
How is the inside of the wardrobe planned?
The inside is planned around your clothes. Long hanging, double hanging, shelves, drawers and shoe space can all be included. We talk it through at the design visit.
How is the price worked out?
Size, doors and drawers, what goes inside and the finish all affect it, along with access and parking. We send a quote in writing after the design visit.
Why people ask for fitted wardrobes in Roxbourne
For some, it is about a calmer room. A single run of painted doors looks tidier than mixed furniture.
Requests we hear often include:
- A bedroom that never feels tidy
- Storage boxes stacked under the bed
- Standard wardrobes that do not fill the wall
- Space under the eaves going to waste
If you live in a flat close to South Ruislip station, it is useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
What fitted wardrobes cannot fix
We design, make and fit the furniture. In practice, that means:
- Taking out a chimney breast to make space
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
- Converting a loft (we build storage in lofts that are already converted)
If in doubt, you can get in touch through our contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.

Bedrooms in Roxbourne: local notes
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 76% of the housing in the area around Roxbourne, with about 12% built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Roxbourne include Ace Cinema (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles east, and The Rayners Public House (Grade II), about 0.6 miles east. If your own home is listed, internal works that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. It is worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your street in Roxbourne joins a main road, it’s worth telling us at the design visit. We’ll plan where the van can stop.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 1.8 miles north-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. Close to Eastcote House Gardens? Morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they won’t shade the window.
Roxbourne is about 1 mile east of Harrow, in the London Borough of Harrow. From period terraces to newer flats in Roxbourne, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Our Harrow coverage includes Roxbourne, along with the rest of the borough.

Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
- Decide what goes on shelves and what goes in drawers
- Check how much space there is in front for doors to open
- Check your lease before fixing furniture to walls in a leasehold flat
Don’t pack clothes tight against the back panel. Air moving through helps avoid condensation and mould.
Close doors gently and don’t let them swing into furniture, and keep sliding doors from crashing into the ends. It helps the hinges and runners stay true.
