From workshop to your room
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on how much desk, shelving and storage you want, and your quote sets out the fitting days. It is useful to clear the room and the route in before fitting day, including anything on the walls near the work. We cover floors and doorways first. Then the sections come in and are joined in place.
- First we hear about your work and the room you have in mind, whether that is a spare room, an alcove or a landing.
- At the design visit, the room is measured and the layout planned.
- We agree the desk, shelving and storage, and send a quote in writing, with the finish set out.
- Every part is made in our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
- The office is fitted, scribed to the walls and checked with you.
How to prepare
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Arranging a design visit
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A quote in writing follows the visit for you to look over. To arrange the visit, use our contact form.
Advice
Fitted home offices in Hampton Hill: what you get
Planning the cables early is what keeps a home office tidy. Cable holes and routes are built into the desk and cupboards. Any new sockets are fitted by your electrician, with the furniture designed to suit. We look at the sockets when we visit in Hampton Hill. Most enquiries start with wires with no tidy route and flimsy shelves that won’t take the weight, and the answer is built in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Light, desk height and closed storage matter more than size in a home office. Whatever kind of home you have in Hampton Hill, we plan those first. Desk depth and shelf positions are set around how you work.
A written quote is the clearest record of what we’ve agreed. It describes the home office we’ve designed for the room, what it’s made from and how it’s finished, and the workshop works from it.

What else we make in Hampton Hill
Questions we’re often asked
Do you cover homes near Fulwell station?
Yes. We cover all of Richmond upon Thames and the rest of London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is Hampton Hill in the area you cover for fitted home offices?
Yes, we work across Richmond upon Thames, Hampton Hill included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with some details.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Inside a house, fitted furniture doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. Your lease is something we can’t advise on.
How long does it take to fit a home office?
How long fitting takes depends on the layout and how many pieces make up the office, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Every part is made at our workshop before we arrive. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
The problems fitted home offices solve
Many people get in touch because they now work from home, at least part of the week. A kitchen table or a corner of the bedroom soon stops working. A fitted home office gives work a proper place.
Fitted home offices can help with:
- Paperwork and files with nowhere to go
- Working at the kitchen table
- Work things on show in the evening
- An awkward space with no furniture that fits
If you live near Carlisle Park, a desk placed to make the most of daylight makes a big difference to a working day.
Before you choose who makes it
- Whether you’ll get a quote in writing, not just a figure
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Have they thought about parking near you?
Is bespoke worth it?
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. Standard widths and heights seldom suit an actual room, which leaves gaps at the sides and wasted space on top. Built-in pieces fill the space they’re made for.
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.

Working from home in Hampton Hill
In the area around Hampton Hill, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 21%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. The High Street Hampton Hill Conservation Area is close by, within about a quarter of a mile of the centre of Hampton Hill. Planning controls in conservation areas are mainly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitting furniture inside a house does not normally need permission. The council can confirm if you are not sure. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If your home is on or just off a main road, it’s useful to mention it. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
If you live in a period home close to Hampton Hill United Reformed Church, an alcove beside the chimney breast is often just right for a built-in desk. If your children go to Hampton Hill Junior School or a school nearby, a desk long enough for two can serve a laptop and a homework book side by side.

What it is made from
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well. It goes into the desk, the shelves and the drawers. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done in your home after fitting. Small marks are simple to touch in later. That suits a desk that sees daily use.
What we don’t do
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Changes to the structure of the house
- New sockets, data points or wiring, which are for your electrician
- Building a loft conversion, which is not our work
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can tell us about the room on our contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How a job runs, step by step.
