Fitting day, step by step
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. London parking ranges from controlled zones to driveways and private bays, so let us know what’s near you at the measuring visit. For a flat, building rules on lifts and working hours are worth checking.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and discuss the design, including the doors and the finish.
- Your written quote follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- The wardrobes are made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, then sprayed if you chose a spray finish.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls and ceiling; a hand-painted finish is done on site.
- At the end we check each door and drawer with you; fresh paintwork needs gentle handling while it cures.
How to prepare
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
Getting a quote
If you know what you want, say so; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, message us from the contact page.

About our fitted wardrobes in Woodside
An outside wall is often colder than an inside one, and clothes pressed against a cold wall can lead to condensation. Where a wardrobe goes on an external wall, we plan ventilation behind and inside it, which helps keep mould away. Moisture-resistant MDF is a sensible choice there too. Typical reasons to get in touch are clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms and a bedroom that never feels tidy; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
The positions of the window, the radiator and the door shape a bedroom more than its size. Whatever kind of home you have in Woodside, we start there, and fitted furniture is planned around them. Furniture is kept clear of radiators so the room stays warm.

Questions from Woodside
Is Woodside in the area you cover for fitted wardrobes?
Yes. Woodside is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Croydon and London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Woodside?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Can fitted wardrobes follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. We shape the wardrobe to follow the slope, with long hanging where there is height and shelves or drawers where it’s lower. It makes good use of space that is hard to furnish.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, and the written quote comes afterwards.
What if my bedroom floor isn’t level?
Uneven floors are normal in older homes. We set fitted wardrobes level on a plinth or adjustable feet.

Looking after your furniture
Looking after painted furniture is simple. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Work out the split between long and short hanging
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
- Let us know about any damp you have seen on bedroom walls
- Decide what goes on shelves and what goes in drawers
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough to clean painted doors. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays, as they can dull the paint.
Spread heavy items rather than piling them in one place. Rails and shelves are planned for normal use, so tell us at the design visit if you need to store something heavy.
Why bespoke in Woodside?
Modular interior systems can be rearranged easily, and that flexibility is useful. A bespoke interior is planned around what you own, and adjustable shelves keep some flexibility. Ready-made furniture rarely suits a recess, a slope or an odd corner, and most homes have at least one. Built-in pieces are made to fit them.
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
What you get with us
- Made in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Scribed to uneven walls

Take a look at bespoke vs off-the-shelf and what a quote should include.
How it is made
Spray-painted finish
A sprayed coat covers edges, corners and panels evenly for a smooth finish. You choose the colour before we start.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish often suits wardrobes in older houses. The colour is agreed with you, and it is easy to refresh in future.
Pricing fitted wardrobes in Woodside
The price for your room depends on:
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Parking and unloading on your street
- How many doors and drawers there are
- How big the furniture is
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You will see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. It’s enough to send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
A quote begins with some details from you: the room, rough measurements and some photos if you have them. To send them, use our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and discuss the design, then send a written quote.
Fitted wardrobes for homes in Woodside
About 44% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Woodside went up before 1919, and about 26% between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 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 Woodside, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Luke (Grade II), less than half a mile north-east, and Woodside Cottage (Grade II), less than half a mile north. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling may need listed building consent. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. Around Woodside, about 44% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for Croydon as a whole, about 29%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of fitted wardrobes.
Close to Ashburton Park? Keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. If you live in a flat close to Norwood Junction station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If your children go to St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School or a school nearby, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.
