Boards, parts and paint
Doors and drawer fronts
Doors can close over shelves, files or a printer. They can be plain or panelled, with handles chosen to suit the room. When you finish, the doors close on work.
Moisture-resistant MDF
Doors and panels are made from moisture-resistant MDF. It holds its shape and takes paint well. Either finish suits it.
About our fitted home offices in Selhurst
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 can hide the working things when you’re done. For a home in Selhurst, we design it all around what you need to store. If your home has an alcove or landing that could take a desk and wanting to close the door on work at the end of the day, home offices made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
Wherever your home in Selhurst sits in London’s mix of housing, home offices work best when the desk, shelving and storage are planned together. We plan cable routes too, leaving new wiring to your electrician. Shelf spans and thicknesses are chosen so books do not bow them.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

Common questions about fitted home offices
I live near Norwood Junction station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Croydon and the rest of London. To get started, you can use our contact form with some details about the room.
Will a conservation area stop me having fitted home offices fitted in Selhurst?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
Do you wire in sockets for the home office?
That’s work for your electrician. The furniture is designed to suit, with routes for chargers and screens. Your electrician can then fit them as planned.
What happens at the design visit?
It’s a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, and the written quote comes afterwards.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. Your quote sets out which you’ve chosen.
What affects the price in Selhurst
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. This is what makes the difference:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The internal fittings
- The width and height of the space
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote, with the materials and finish set out. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Your postcode and the borough
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
To get a quote for fitted home offices in Selhurst, drop us a line using the contact form. Let us know the room and the rough idea. We’ll arrange a design visit, then send a written quote.
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. New sockets are for your electrician, and the furniture is planned to suit.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- Glare from a window on the screen
- Shelving that bows under the load
- Working at the kitchen table
- An alcove or landing that could take a desk
For an older house near Church of St Mark, an alcove beside the chimney breast is often just right for a built-in desk.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Let us know about them at the measuring visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
Fitting day, step by step
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Whatever the age of your home, the furniture is fitted to the walls you have, scribed where walls bow and levelled where floors slope. Spray-painted pieces arrive finished; hand-painted ones can be finished on site.
- You contact us about a home office in a spare room, alcove, landing or under the eaves.
- We visit to measure the space, including any slope, alcove or uneven wall.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- Everything is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day each piece is set level and scribed to the walls, so there are no gaps along the edges.
- Your spray-painted or hand-painted finish completes the office.
Preparing the room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Arranging a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To book one, get in touch through our contact form.

Working from home in Selhurst
In the neighbourhood around Selhurst, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 17%), 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 Selhurst include Stanley Technical High School and Stanley Halls (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west, and Clock Tower (Grade II), less than half a mile south-west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can require listed building consent. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Selhurst. How the van gets to your door is planned during the design visit.
If you live near South Norwood Recreation Ground, a desk placed to make the most of daylight makes a big difference to a working day. If you live in a flat close to Norwood Junction station, the route in is measured along with the room itself, and the sections are sized to fit it.
