Fitted home offices designed for your room
Fitted home offices for homes in Brook Green
Planning the cables early is what keeps a home office tidy. We design routes through the desk and units for chargers, screens and printers. Any new sockets are fitted by your electrician, with the furniture designed to suit. We look at the sockets when we visit in Brook Green. If your home has an awkward space with no furniture that fits and a guest room that’s needed for work, home offices made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish can solve it.
Around Brook Green, a large share of homes date from before 1919, and houses of that age often have alcoves either side of a chimney breast. A desk can sit in an alcove, with shelving above and a cupboard below, which keeps work in its own corner of the room. Walls are rarely straight in older houses, so the desk and shelves are scribed to fit.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

How fitting day works
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In houses converted into flats, the route in may include a shared hall and stairs, so neighbours may appreciate a note before fitting day. Each section is sized for the tightest door or turn. Saturdays can be arranged.
- To begin, get in touch through our contact form; a brief note on the room and your desk set-up is plenty.
- We visit to measure and plan the desk, shelves and storage, and look at where the light falls. New sockets or wiring are a job for your electrician, ideally before fitting.
- A quote in writing follows with the design, materials and finish.
- The office furniture is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with gaps for cables planned in.
- We fit it in your home, scribed and set level, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Before fitting day
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Empty the space we will be working in
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
Starting with a design visit

Related advice
Before and after fitting day
Looking after painted furniture is simple with a little care. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Consider your chair when planning the desk
- Mention any parking rules on your street
- Check whether you will need new sockets
- Note how many files and books you need to store
Wiping the desk and fronts with a soft, damp cloth is typically all they need. Dry them afterwards, and avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents. The front edge of the desk picks up marks first.
Keep cables in their routes rather than pulled across the desk. Wires pulled across an edge can wear it. A little tidying now and then keeps the office calm.
FAQs: fitted home offices in Brook Green
Can you fit fitted home offices to the uneven walls of an older house in Brook Green?
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. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
Is Brook Green in the area you cover for fitted home offices?
Yes. Brook Green is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham and London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details.
Do pictures help?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
Getting it in is planned during the design visit. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doors, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
How long will the home office fitting take?
How long the fitting takes depends on the layout and how many pieces make up the office, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The office is made at our workshop first, so the time in your home is spent fitting. We work tidily and keep the room as clear as we can.
Can you build a home office in an alcove?
It depends on the width and depth of the alcove. Many are wide enough for a compact desk, with shelves and storage around it. We’ll tell you honestly when we visit.
What affects the cost of fitted home offices
Several things affect the price:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Parking and unloading on your street
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Helping us understand the room
When you contact us, these help most:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- How you want to use the space

Boards, parts and paint
Pull-out drawers
Drawers under a desk keep stationery and papers to hand. Deeper drawers can take files. We size each drawer to suit.
Spray-painted finish
A spray-painted finish works well on every part of the office. We do it in our workshop, where the finish can be kept even. The colour is your choice.
Do you need fitted home offices in Brook Green?
Many spare rooms need to work as an office and a guest room. Fitted furniture can make room for both. It puts the room to work most of the time.
People typically get in touch with us about needs like these:
- A room with two jobs to do
- Working at the kitchen table
- A screen that is hard to read by the window
- A corner too odd for a standard desk
If your children go to Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School or a school nearby, a built-in desk can be shared between home working and homework.
