Fitted wardrobes across CR4: what to expect
Rooms under a slope are common in loft conversions and top-floor rooms. A fitted wardrobe can follow the slope, keeping long hanging where there’s height and drawers or shelves lower down. Space that is hard to use otherwise becomes useful storage. Typical reasons to get in touch are a bedroom that never feels tidy and an awkward slope in a loft bedroom; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard.
- You get in touch about fitted wardrobes for your bedroom, with a rough idea of what you need to hang and fold.
- At the design visit, we measure the room, check the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the doors and inside with you.
- We send a written quote with the layout, materials and finish, ready for you to read through.
- The wardrobes are made in sections in our workshop. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, scribe them to the walls and hang the doors.

Arranging a design visit
A quote begins with some details from you: the room, rough measurements and some photos if you have them. When you’re ready, fill in our short enquiry form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a quote in writing.

Homes across CR4 and their bedrooms
Homes across CR4, Streatham, Colliers Wood and Tooting among them, often have one bedroom that has to do two jobs. Fitted wardrobes can be planned so the room switches between them.
The biggest shares of homes in CR4 were built before 1919 (about 47%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 21%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for fitted wardrobes, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. More than a third of the homes in CR4 (about 47%) were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms in houses of that age often have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit wardrobes built to their widths. Terraced houses are home to about 31% of households in the CR4 postcode district, according to Census 2021. Terraced houses often have a narrow back bedroom and alcoves either side of a chimney breast, both good spaces for fitted storage.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in CR4, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. Wherever you live, it starts with a visit and a quote.
Eastfields: If you live in a flat close to Mitcham Eastfields station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. If you live near Figge's Marsh, fitted wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. 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 without a struggle.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
Off-the-shelf wardrobes are cheaper to buy and easy to take with you. That’s a real advantage if you are renting or moving soon. Built-in wardrobes become part of the house, and are planned to suit it.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
Honest limits
Damp treatment and building work are for other specialists, and there are a few other limits too:
- Painting walls and ceilings, or repairing plaster
- Electrical work, such as moving sockets or switches, which is for your electrician
- Fixing the cause of condensation or damp
What it costs
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- How square the room is
- The number of doors and drawers
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
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:
- How you want to use the space
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Where you live, with the postcode
- The type of home and how the room is reached
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and discuss the design with you. Afterwards, we send a written quote for you to look over. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
FAQs: fitted wardrobes in CR4
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it is useful to be around at the end.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in CR4?
Yes. CR4 is part of the area we cover, as part of our work across all London boroughs. To get a quote, send us a few details through our contact form.
Is it OK to put a wardrobe on an outside wall?
Yes. Wardrobes on outside walls are designed with ventilation behind and inside. Any existing damp needs dealing with before fitting.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
How is the price worked out?
Each room is quoted on its own: size, internal fittings, the finish and how tricky the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, particularly with rough measurements. To send them, use our contact form.
Can fitted wardrobes go either side of the bed?
Yes. A common layout is tall cupboards either side of the bed and storage above the headboard. It is planned so there is room around the bed and the room does not feel enclosed.
