Our fitted wardrobes across E20
An outside wall is often colder than an inside one, and a wardrobe packed against one can trap moist air. We allow for ventilation behind and within wardrobes on external walls to help avoid condensation and mould. We use moisture-resistant MDF, which suits that position. Typical reasons to get in touch are a sloping ceiling that’s hard to use and condensation behind a wardrobe on an outside wall, and the answer is built in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Period rooms often have skirting boards, picture rails, cornices or coving for the furniture to meet. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details, so it sits neatly against the room. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You describe the bedroom and the storage you need.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout, with your clothes in mind.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a quote in writing.
- We then make the wardrobes in our workshop, ready for spraying or for hand painting on site.
- We bring them to your home and fit them in place.
What goes into your quote
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, and the quote follows.

Fitted wardrobes for homes across E20
Many older bedrooms across E20 keep a chimney breast with an alcove on each side. In rooms without one, a full wall of storage often works best. Each design is scribed and levelled on site.
About 58% of the homes in E20 went up since 2000, and about 16% before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how fitted wardrobes are fixed and fitted. About 58% of homes in E20 were built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Newer homes often have compact bedrooms with plasterboard stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board. About 70% of households in E20 live in purpose-built flats, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in E20, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. The process is the same wherever you are: a design visit, a quote in writing, then making and fitting.
Temple Mills: Living in a block of flats near Stratford International station? Then the route in is measured as well as the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Gainsborough School, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
What affects the cost of fitted wardrobes
The price for your room depends on:
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You will see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you first contact us:
- How you want to use the space
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
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 written quote for you to look over. To arrange the visit, message us from the contact page.
Is bespoke worth it?
Bought wardrobes come in the maker’s finishes. Fitted wardrobes are painted in a colour agreed with you. Bespoke work does take longer than buying from a shop, since there’s a design visit, a quote and workshop time first.
Before you hire any carpenter
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
Flats, leases and landlords
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
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 each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
What it is made from
Hanging rails
We place rails at the heights your clothes need: a high rail for long items and double rails for shorter ones.
Doors and drawer fronts
Door styles range from simple flat fronts to panelled ones. You choose a colour that matches or contrasts with the room.
What prompts fitted wardrobes
The usual reason is simple: there is not enough storage. Clothes spill onto chairs, into spare rooms and under the bed. A fitted wardrobe uses the full height of the wall, which adds a lot of space without taking more floor.
Some of the things we are asked to solve are these:
- Standard wardrobes that do not fill the wall
- Bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes
- Damp or musty clothes against an external wall
- Storage boxes stacked under the bed
Your questions about fitted wardrobes in E20
How do I get a quote for fitted wardrobes in E20?
The first step is to message us from the contact page with a few details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
How long will the fitting take?
It depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days. The wardrobes are built in our workshop first.
Hinged or sliding doors: which suits my bedroom?
The space in front of the wardrobe usually decides it. If a bed or a door is close, sliding doors can make more sense, while hinged doors suit rooms with space to open them. We look at it with you when we measure.
Is it possible to build wardrobes into a loft room with a slope?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions and fitted storage suits them well. We measure the slope carefully at the design visit and scribe the wardrobe to it.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first.
How do you get fitted wardrobes into a flat?
We plan the sections around the route into your flat, and the wardrobe is put together in the room. Let us know about any concierge or lift booking rules.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We’ll design around them.
