Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
With off-the-shelf wardrobes, the colour choice is the maker’s. Fitted wardrobes are painted in a colour agreed with you, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Bespoke work does take longer than buying from a shop, because of the design visit, the quote and the making. Standard units come with shelves and rails where the maker put them, rather than where you need them. With fitted furniture, the inside is planned around what you keep.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Why choose Bespoke Carpentry in Tottenham
- Over 300 projects completed

How we make fitted wardrobes for Tottenham
We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. The doors are finished with spray paint in the workshop or painted by hand, in a colour agreed with you. We then fit them in your home, setting them level on adjustable feet or a plinth. Typical reasons to get in touch are mismatched bedroom furniture and a tight bedroom where doors get in the way, and the answer is built in our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Whether your home in Tottenham is a period house, an interwar semi, a post-war flat or a newer build, the furniture starts from your room, not a standard size. External walls can be colder than internal ones, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation. Shelves, drawers and any hanging are arranged around your things.
The quote comes in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and talk it over at home. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

What else we make in Tottenham
How it is made
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF has no grain, so painted doors look smooth and even. The moisture-resistant grade is our choice for fitted work.
Birch plywood
Shelves inside a wardrobe carry folded clothes, shoes and boxes. Birch plywood helps keep them straight across wider sections.
Questions from Tottenham
I live in a flat in Tottenham. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. Fitted wardrobes are built 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.
Do you cover homes near Bruce Grove station?
Yes, homes across Haringey and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions. The slope is measured at the measuring visit and the wardrobe scribed to it on site.
Should I send pictures?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, particularly with rough sizes. To send them, use our contact form.
Can you build wardrobes around a bed?
Yes. A common layout is tall cupboards either side of the bed and storage above the headboard. We plan it so the bed fits comfortably and the room still feels open.
How long does it take to fit wardrobes?
The fitting depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The wardrobes are made at our workshop first, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask your electrician about moving sockets early
- Check your lease before fixing furniture to walls in a leasehold flat
- Tell us about the lift and stairs in your block
- Check how much space there is in front for doors to open
With sliding doors, vacuum the track now and then so the doors run smoothly. Clear anything that falls into it.
Now and then, check that handles and hinges are tight and adjust doors before a rub marks the paint.
From workshop to your room
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you live in a block, check any rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours; for a house, steps, paths and parking are the things to mention. We plan the details of the day at the measuring visit. Saturdays can be arranged.
- To begin, tell us about the room on our contact form; a brief note on the bedroom and what you need to store is enough.
- We visit to measure up and work out the inside with you, from rail heights to drawer depths.
- 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.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, spray-painted in the workshop or hand-painted on site, and the inside fittings go in last.
Before we arrive
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Getting a quote
We quote once we have seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, then send a quote in writing. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Advice
What it costs
Not every room costs the same, and it comes down to:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- The width and height of the space
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It’s useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.
What we need to know
Ahead of the design visit, we’ll normally ask about:
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
To get a quote, send us a few details through our contact form and let us know which room you have in mind and roughly what you’d like. We then arrange a design visit to measure and discuss the design, and send you a written quote afterwards.
Fitted wardrobes in Tottenham: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 39% of the housing in the area around Tottenham, with about 19% built since 2000, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. That matters for fitted wardrobes, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. 11 conservation areas have at least part of their area within a mile of the centre of Tottenham. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your street in Tottenham joins a main road, it’s worth telling us at the measuring visit. We will plan where the van can stop.
For a family home near The Mulberry Primary School, fitted wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. Bruce Castle, about 0.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Mary the Virgin, tall ceilings give fitted wardrobes room to reach the cornice.
Tottenham is part of the London Borough of Haringey. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Tottenham included. We cover places right across Haringey, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
