What happens on fitting day
When we arrive on fitting day, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. Next, we carry in the sections made in our workshop, a piece at a time. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so it’s worth mentioning at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- To begin, fill in our short enquiry 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.
- You receive a quote in writing for the office.
- The office furniture is made at 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.
How to prepare
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Starting with a design visit

Fitted home offices in Leaves Green: what you get
Spare rooms are a natural choice for an office, though many still need space for guests. The office can be planned to leave space for a bed or a sofa, or doors that close over the desk at the end of the day. We’ll look at how the room is used when we visit in Leaves Green. We make home offices from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about glare from a window on the screen and a desk buried under papers.
The bay window in a 1930s front room or bedroom gives good daylight for a desk, and storage can run along the walls either side. Around Leaves Green, 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.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Home working in Leaves Green: local notes
In the streets around Leaves Green, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 80%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 12%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Leaves Green include Old Cottage (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east, and Jasmine Cottage (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 50% of households in the area around Leaves Green, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Down House, about 1.1 miles east. For a period home anywhere nearby, an alcove beside the chimney breast is often just right for a built-in desk. Close to South Park? A desk placed to make the most of daylight makes a big difference to a working day.
Leaves Green is about 5 miles north-east of Orpington, within the London Borough of Bromley. Whether your home in Leaves Green is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. We cover places right across Bromley, large and small.

How it’s made
Birch plywood
Its layered build gives birch plywood its strength. We use it for desk tops, carcasses and drawer boxes, with the edge either shown or painted.
Doors and drawer fronts
Cupboard doors hide the clutter of working life. We make them plain or panelled, with handles to match. When you finish, the doors close on work.
Questions we are often asked
Can you make fitted home offices for a home in Leaves Green?
Yes. Leaves Green is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Bromley 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 Leaves Green?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking at the measuring visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours, and it’s agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we will see what we can do.
Can you fit sockets in the desk?
New sockets need an electrician. The furniture is designed to suit, with routes for chargers and screens. They can then be fitted where we have allowed for them.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. It is useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
How we price fitted home offices
When we put a quote together, we consider:
- How big the furniture is
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- The internal fittings
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
Getting some details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any

Is it time for fitted home offices?
The most common reason is working from home. The kitchen table works for a while, then it doesn’t. A built-in desk and storage make working at home far easier.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A room with two jobs to do
- A tangle of chargers and leads
- No way to put work away
- A desk in the wrong light
For a family home near Meridian High School, a desk with shelves and closed storage can serve both work and homework.
Before you choose who makes it
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
