Fitting day, step by step
The last stage of the day is the finish. With a spray finish from the workshop, there is usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Hallways in period houses are often narrow, and the stairs turn sharply, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route in. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out, and the sections are joined and scribed in the room.
- You get in touch with some details about the room. A line on how you work helps too.
- We visit to measure and talk about the equipment you use.
- A quote in writing follows, with the fitting days agreed. You can ask us about any part of it.
- Your office furniture is built in our workshop, sized for the room.
- The office is fitted and set level, ready for your first day at the desk.
Before we arrive
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
How to get a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, fill in our short enquiry form.

Fitted home offices for homes in Westbourne Green
Storage keeps a home office calm. We can plan drawers, file storage, a cupboard for the printer and shelving, so the work surface stays clear. Doors can hide the working things when you’re done. We design the storage around your work, wherever you are in Westbourne Green. If your home has shelving that bows under the load and a corner too odd for a standard desk, home offices made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish can solve it.
Older homes tend to have generous ceiling heights, and a large share of homes around Westbourne Green are that age. That leaves room for shelving above a desk right up to the picture rail or cornice. Some internal walls in older houses are lath and plaster, so fixings are chosen to suit, and long shelves are sized so they don’t sag.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.

FAQs: fitted home offices in Westbourne Green
My home in Westbourne Green is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
At the design visit, we measure the way in not just the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
I live near London Paddington station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Westminster and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
What happens at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and discuss the design with you. We’ll also ask about access and parking.
Is an alcove big enough for a desk?
Often, yes. A desk with shelving over it can fit neatly in an alcove. It is scribed to the alcove walls so it fits closely. At the design visit we’ll measure and tell you what fits.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture, which helps avoid condensation and mould. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Pricing fitted home offices in Westbourne Green
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- Parking near your home
- How big the furniture is
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- The internal fittings
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
What to send when you contact us
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Examples of the look you’re after
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. To arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Where other trades come in
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. Please bear these in mind too:
- Changes to the structure of the house
- Painting the walls and ceiling
- Setting up computers, screens or networks
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can use our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. How it works.
What goes into it
- Cable routes

- Spray-painted finish

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Off-the-shelf desks and shelving are made for flat walls and standard sizes. In an alcove, a landing or under the eaves, that leaves gaps and wasted space. Bespoke furniture is made to the room and fits it. It costs more than flat-pack furniture, and what you get is an office that fits. Ready-made units stop well short of a tall period ceiling, wasting space that could hold things you rarely use. Built-in pieces can run to the cornice or the picture rail.
Rooms that are not square take more work: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.
What you get with us
- Fitted tight to walls that aren’t straight
- Saturday work by prior arrangement
- Over 300 projects completed
- Built around your room
Fitted home offices for homes in Westbourne Green
About 67% of the homes in the area around Westbourne Green went up before 1919, and about 12% between 1973 and 1999, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Westbourne Green, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Mary Magdalene (Grade I), under half a mile north, and Catholic Apostolic Church and Church House (Grade I), about 0.5 miles north-east. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. About 31% of households in the streets around Westbourne Green live in flats in converted or shared houses, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
If you live in a flat close to London Paddington station, home offices are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. For an older house near St Mary Magdalene, a small back bedroom can become a home office with a desk under the window. If you live near Emslie Horniman's Pleasance, a desk placed to make the most of daylight makes a big difference to a working day.
