Flats, conversions and leaseholders
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so tell us about it at the measuring visit.
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you.
Fitted wardrobes for homes in Strand-on-the-Green
A fitted wardrobe is built into the room itself, running floor to ceiling and wall to wall. That leaves no gap above to gather dust and no wasted space at the sides. If you are planning fitted wardrobes in Strand-on-the-Green, we start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about damp or musty clothes against an external wall and an awkward slope in a loft bedroom.
In houses built before 1919, a floor can drop noticeably from one side of a room to the other, and a large share of the homes around Strand-on-the-Green are that old. Pieces stand on a levelled plinth or adjustable feet, so doors close square and the gaps stay even. Where the wall bows, the edge is scribed to follow it.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is built in our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

FAQs: fitted wardrobes in Strand-on-the-Green
How do you fit fitted wardrobes in a flat in Strand-on-the-Green?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Does a conservation area in or near Strand-on-the-Green affect fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
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, in the proportions you need. We plan it with you when we visit.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
It depends on the size, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish. The price comes in a quote in writing after the design visit.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work isn’t something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design.
How do I get a quote?
It’s easiest to tell us about the room on our contact form. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a written quote.
What we do not do
We design, make and fit the furniture. In practice, that means:
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
- Removing walls, chimney breasts or any structural work
- Redecorating around the wardrobes
If in doubt, you can drop us a line using the contact form and describe the room. Our process from visit to fitting.
What it’s made from
- Hanging rails, shelves and drawers
- Birch plywood
- Spray-painted finish
- Hand-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Hinged or sliding doors

Looking after your furniture
Getting the most from fitted wardrobes starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Work out the split between long and short hanging
- In a leasehold flat, read the lease first
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
Leave a little space between clothes and the back of the wardrobe where the wardrobe sits on an outside wall. Air moving through helps avoid condensation and mould.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear, particularly where the wardrobe meets an outside wall. Look out for a musty smell or spots on clothes and have the cause looked at early.
Fitting day, step by step
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Where a period house has been split into flats, the way in often goes through shared parts, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. The sections are sized for the narrowest point on the route. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- You get in touch and let us know what you keep in your wardrobes now.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan the inside: long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers.
- A quote in writing follows, listing the layout inside, the doors and the finish.
- The wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, ready for the rails, shelves and drawers you chose.
- We fit the wardrobes in your home, then put in the rails, shelves and drawers at the heights we agreed.
Before fitting day
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Getting a quote
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. For a quote, use our contact form.

In the area around Strand-on-the-Green, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 48%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 15%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Part of Strand-on-the-Green is in the Strand on the Green Conservation Area, one of the conservation areas recorded by Historic England. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Hounslow sets its own rules. If your street in Strand-on-the-Green is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay through the council may be needed. It is useful to tell us about parking at the measuring visit.

Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers can be hidden behind doors or shown as part of the front, depending on the look you prefer. Inside drawers keep the front simple.
Moisture-resistant MDF
Moisture-resistant MDF is stable and takes paint well, which makes it ideal for wardrobe doors and visible panels. It suits bedrooms where the wardrobe sits on an external wall.
