What fitted wardrobes cannot fix
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. That means:
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
- Decorating or plastering the room
- Treating damp or mould on the walls
Not sure whether your space suits fitted wardrobes? You can drop us a line using the contact form and we will tell you. How it works.
What goes into it
- Spray-painted finish
- Birch plywood
- Hand-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Hanging rails, shelves and drawers
- Hinged or sliding doors
Fitted wardrobes in Sutton Common
The inside matters as much as the doors. Long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers are arranged around what you own. It helps to think about what you wear most before we meet. If your home has standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall and bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes, that’s what fitted wardrobes are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
A bedroom in a house from between the wars normally has simpler mouldings than a Victorian one, so fitted furniture can often run neatly to the ceiling. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Sutton Common, high cupboards make a good home for suitcases and spare bedding. The skirting is scribed around rather than removed.
We write quotes in plain English. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish.

What happens on fitting day
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in, and the sections are assembled in place.
- You get in touch and tell us about the bedroom, and we arrange a design visit.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the doors and the inside with you. We also look at the way in, in case the sections need to go up narrow stairs.
- We send a written quote for the wardrobes, so you can see what’s included.
- We make the carcasses, doors and drawers in our workshop, sized to get through your doors and up the stairs.
- We install the wardrobes, hang the doors and fit the rails, shelves and drawers. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Before fitting day
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

Fitted wardrobes in Sutton Common: local notes
About 73% of the homes in the area around Sutton Common went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 11% between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how fitted wardrobes are fixed and fitted. Near the centre of Sutton Common, Historic England’s list includes Mecca Bingo Club (Grade II), about 0.5 miles east. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. More than half of the homes in the streets around Sutton Common (about 73%) date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead.
If you live near Morden Hall Park, a bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. Nonsuch Mansion, about 2.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice. For families living near Abbey Primary School, the inside of fitted wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is awkward, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.

What it costs
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking and unloading on your street
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Where you live, with the postcode
We quote once we’ve seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, and the written quote comes after. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.
Looking after your furniture
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. These habits help most:
- For a flat, measure the stairs, landings and lift
- Look at whether your lease needs consent for alterations
- Empty the area where we’ll be working
- Tell us which walls face outside
If you have sliding doors, keep the bottom track clear of dust and fluff so the doors run smoothly. Do not let shoes or bags sit in the track.
Spread heavy items rather than piling them in one place. Shelves and rails are sized for everyday loads, so mention anything unusually heavy when we plan.
Questions from Sutton Common
Can you fit furniture in a home close to St Helier station?
Yes. We cover all of Sutton and the rest of London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is Sutton Common in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes. Sutton Common is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Sutton and London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, especially with rough measurements. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form.
What if my bedroom floor isn’t level?
Uneven floors are normal in older homes. The wardrobes are levelled on adjustable feet or a plinth, so the doors hang true.
Can fitted wardrobes follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Many loft rooms have sloping ceilings, and fitted wardrobes are one of the best ways to use them. We measure the slope carefully during the design visit and scribe the wardrobe to it.
