Fitted home offices in Broadwater Farm: what you get
A good home office has a place for everything. Drawers for stationery, cupboards for files and a printer, and shelves for books and folders, so the work surface stays clear. Doors keep clutter out of sight at the end of the day. We design the storage around your work, wherever you are in Broadwater Farm. We make home offices from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the usual reasons to get in touch are work things on show in the evening and cables trailing across the desk and floor.
In streets where many homes were built before 1919, as they were around Broadwater Farm, the spare room in a period house is often small, with a sash window and a chimney breast. A built-in desk, shelving and closed storage can fit even a modest room. Cable routes are planned so they run neatly to the sockets, and any new sockets are for your electrician.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Why bespoke in Broadwater Farm?
A standalone desk can go with you when you move. Fitted furniture stays put, and it makes more of the room. Which suits you depends on your plans. Alcoves and recesses in period houses are rarely a standard width or depth, so ready-made units rarely fill them properly. Made for the space, the furniture uses the full width and height.
We don’t publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, naming the materials and finish. To start, send us a few details through our contact form.
Why us?
- A design visit, then a quote in writing
- Over 300 projects completed
- A spray or hand-painted finish
- Built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood

Broadwater Farm homes and fitted home offices
In the area around Broadwater Farm, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 48%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 19%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how home offices are fixed and fitted. The Tower Gardens Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Broadwater Farm. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Haringey is no exception. If your street in Broadwater Farm is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay through the council may be needed. Parking near your home is worth mentioning at the measuring visit.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Philip the Apostle, a small back bedroom can become a home office with a desk under the window. Close to Bruce Castle Park? A desk placed to make the most of daylight makes a big difference to a working day. For families living near The Willow Primary School, closed cupboards above a desk keep work papers and school books apart.
Broadwater Farm is about 1 mile east of Tottenham, part of the London Borough of Haringey. We work across all London boroughs and the City of London, and Broadwater Farm is part of that. Our Haringey coverage includes Broadwater Farm, along with the rest of the borough.
Every address in N17, N15 and N22 is covered for fitted home offices.

How fitting works for fitted home offices
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Older London houses often have narrow hallways and tight turns on the stairs, so home offices are made in sections sized to get through. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out.

Related advice
Questions we’re often asked
Can you make fitted home offices for a home in Broadwater Farm?
Yes, Broadwater Farm is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Haringey and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, and then we send a quote.
Can you fit fitted home offices to the uneven walls of an older house in Broadwater Farm?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Older walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, and the fixings are chosen to suit.
Is it possible to have an office and a guest bed in one room?
That depends on the space you have. A compact office along one wall can leave the rest of the room for a bed. We will look at the options during the design visit.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not usually. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house does not normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a quote in writing follows.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We cannot give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.

What affects the cost of fitted home offices
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The width and height of the space
- The internal fittings
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
Rooms that are not square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. That’s reflected in the quote, which we write after seeing the room.
What we need to know
Some details help us understand the job before we visit. It’s useful to include:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
