How we make fitted wardrobes for N10
What goes inside is where a fitted wardrobe earns its place. Long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers are arranged around what you own, so nothing is squashed and no height is wasted. It’s worth noting the clothes you reach for most before the design visit. Most enquiries start with not enough hanging space and damp or musty clothes against an external wall, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In older rooms, the furniture normally has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. The time the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You send us some details about the room and the storage you need, including any slopes, windows or alcoves.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the doors and the inside with you. We also look at the way in, in case the sections need to go up narrow stairs.
- We send a written quote for the wardrobes.
- The wardrobes are made at our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, levelled and scribed to the walls. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Quotes in N10
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, then set it out in the quote.

How to get a quote

Bedroom storage across N10
Across N10, including Friern Barnet, New Southgate and Muswell Hill, bedrooms come in every size. Each design uses the room’s own widths and height. The inside layout is planned around your things.
In the N10 postcode district, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 40%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 23%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. About 40% of homes in the N10 postcode district were built before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Older bedrooms typically have alcoves and tall ceilings, both of which fitted wardrobes can use. Of the 4 places we have local pages for in N10, 2 have their centre inside a conservation area, going by Historic England’s records. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission.
N10 is part of the area we cover, which takes in all 32 boroughs and the City. Tell us about access and parking when you first get in touch.
Muswell Hill: For families living near Muswell Hill Primary School, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else. The wider area includes historic houses like Athlone House, about 1.6 miles south-west. For a period home anywhere nearby, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go.
Looking after your furniture
None of this takes much effort. What we’d suggest:
- Mention if the wardrobe will go on an external wall
- Check your lease before fixing furniture to walls in a leasehold flat
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
- For a flat, measure the stairs, landings and lift
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough to clean painted doors. Skip scouring pads and harsh cleaners, as they can dull the paint.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear, especially where the wardrobe meets an outside wall. Look out for a musty smell or spots on clothes and deal with any damp early.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Large flat-pack wardrobes can be hard to build in a small bedroom. We make fitted wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home.
What to check before you book
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
What affects the price in N10
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of doors and drawers
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters

Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Wardrobe shelves can carry more weight than you’d think. Birch plywood helps keep them straight, even across a wide section.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish often suits wardrobes in older houses. The colour is agreed with you, and touch-ups are straightforward.
When you need someone else
Electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering and structural work aren’t part of what we do. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Structural changes to the room
- Treating damp or mould on the walls
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
What are your fitted wardrobes made from?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. MDF gives a smooth, stable surface for paint; birch plywood is strong and good for shelves and drawer boxes.
What affects the price of fitted wardrobes?
It depends on the size, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish. The price comes in a written quote after the design visit.
Do you cover areas outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
Is it possible to have storage over the bed?
Yes. Building around the bed uses a wall that often goes unused and can include bedside shelves. The bed size and room are measured when we visit.
Can a fitted wardrobe go against a cold wall?
Yes. We plan ventilation behind and inside wardrobes on external walls. Any existing damp needs dealing with before fitting.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The fitting depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. The making happens in our workshop, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
Can wardrobes be fitted on an uneven floor?
It is common, and it is allowed for. We level the wardrobe on a plinth or feet and scribe it to the walls, so the doors line up properly.
