Temple Fortune Fitted Wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes in Temple Fortune: floor-to-ceiling wardrobes built to the shape of your bedroom. We visit to measure and go through the design, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it.

- Empty alcoves in the bedroom
- A bedroom that never feels tidy
Fitted wardrobes designed for your room
What affects the cost of fitted wardrobes
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The width and height of the space
- The number of doors and drawers
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. Tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so it can be planned.
What we need to know
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll normally ask about:
- How you want to use the space
- Approximate measurements of the space
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Your postcode and the borough
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How we make fitted wardrobes for Temple Fortune
The inside matters as much as the doors. We plan the mix of long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers around your clothes, so coats and dresses have room and shirts do not waste height. It helps to think about what you wear most before we meet. Typical reasons to get in touch are damp or musty clothes against an external wall and too little room for clothes; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Sash windows are common in Victorian and Edwardian houses, and their position, along with any shutters, affects where furniture can go. For one of the older homes that make up a large share of the housing around Temple Fortune, the layout lets the sash open fully and keeps the light unblocked. Doors are chosen and hung so they clear the bed, the radiator and the door to the room.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Tell us about it when you get in touch.
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 the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.

Fitted wardrobes in Temple Fortune: local notes
About 52% of the homes in the streets around Temple Fortune went up before 1919, and about 30% between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. 3 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of central Temple Fortune. England has around 10,000 in all, and their controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Barnet sets its own rules. Depending on your street in Temple Fortune, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. Let us know what the parking is like during the design visit.
Living in a block of flats near Brent Cross West station? Then it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. Close to Princes Park? Keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. The wider area includes historic houses such as Heath Hall, about 1.3 miles east. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design.

What it’s made from
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish suits wardrobes in a period room. You choose the colour.
Plinths and scribe strips
The plinth lifts the wardrobe and hides an uneven floor. It can line up with the skirting.
What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there is usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, especially in a controlled parking zone, so details of permits, bays and any loading restrictions help. The van is unloaded quickly, with the sections carried straight in. Saturday fitting can be arranged.

Advice
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Temple Fortune?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
Is Temple Fortune in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes, Temple Fortune is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Barnet and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how tricky the walls are all play a part. You’ll get a quote in writing once we have measured up.
Can fitted wardrobes go on an external wall?
Yes, with ventilation planned in. An outside wall is often colder than an inside one, so we plan airflow behind and within it.
What if my bedroom floor is not level?
We allow for it from the start. The wardrobe is set level with a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the walls so the doors close neatly.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
We plan it with you at the design visit, starting from the clothes you have. Some shelves can be adjustable so the layout can change.
Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
Under a sloping ceiling, standard wardrobes leave most of the space unused. A fitted wardrobe can be shaped to the ceiling line, with hanging where it’s tall and drawers or shelves where it is low. Alcoves and recesses in period houses are rarely a standard width or depth, so ready-made units rarely fill them properly. Furniture made for the space fills it.
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.
