What it’s made from
Doors and drawer fronts
Doors can close over shelves, files or a printer. We make them plain or panelled, with handles to match. When you finish, the doors close on work.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is made in layers, which makes it strong and stable. We use it for desk tops, carcasses and drawer boxes, and its edge can be left visible or painted.
Fitted home offices for homes in Eastfields
The desk is the heart of a home office. It’s made at a height and depth to suit you and the way you work, with storage below where it helps. Shelves and cupboards can be planned around it. The design visit in Eastfields is where these choices are made. People usually come to us about a screen that’s hard to read by the window and wires with no tidy route, and the answer is built in our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
A bay in an interwar house makes a bright spot for a built-in desk, and storage can run along the walls either side. Around Eastfields, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing. The desk can be shaped to the bay or set across it.
We write quotes in plain English. They say what will be made, what it is made from and how it will be finished.

Is it time for fitted home offices?
Trailing cables are one of the things people most want to sort. A desk designed with cable routes keeps them tidy. Any new sockets are for your electrician, and we design around them.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- A screen that is hard to read by the window
- Wanting to close the door on work at the end of the day

Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
Can you fit sockets in the desk?
That’s work for your electrician. The furniture is designed to suit, with routes for chargers and screens. They can then be fitted where we’ve allowed for them.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
We plan the route in at the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and each section is made to a size that will get through.
How long does it take to fit a home office?
The time the fitting takes depends on how much desk, shelving and storage you want, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Every part is made in our workshop before we arrive. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
Pricing fitted home offices in Eastfields
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- How big the furniture is
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.
Helping us understand the room
There’s no need for exact sizes or plans. It is enough to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Examples of the look you are after

Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
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 the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.
How fitting day works
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections made at our workshop, one at a time. How long fitting takes depends on how much desk, shelving and storage you want, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- You contact us about a home office in a spare room, alcove, landing or under the eaves.
