About fitted wardrobes in NW2
Fitted wardrobes are built to the room, from the floor to the ceiling and from wall to wall where the space allows. There’s no dusty gap on top and no tricky space at the ends. For a bedroom in NW2, we start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need. We make fitted wardrobes from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are wardrobes that are full to bursting and several odd pieces where one run of storage would do.
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. 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. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard.
- 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. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.
What affects the price in NW2
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.

Near you in Cricklewood
In Cricklewood, that includes homes near Anson Primary School, St Gabriel's Church and Gladstone Park, among other places.

Cricklewood has its own railway station: Cricklewood station. A little further out are St Andrew's Hospital (0.8 miles north-west) and Brent Museum and Archives (0.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Westbere Copse.
Fitted wardrobes for homes across NW2
Across NW2, from West Hampstead, Neasden and Hendon outwards, we design and fit fitted wardrobes. External walls can be colder than internal ones, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation. Each wall is checked so the fixings suit it.
About 45% of the homes in NW2 went up before 1919, and about 25% between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 45% of homes in NW2 were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Older bedrooms normally have alcoves and tall ceilings, both of which fitted wardrobes can use. A quarter or more of the homes in NW2 (about 25%) date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Houses from that era often have a box room over the stairs, with a raised bulkhead in the floor, a good spot for fitted furniture built around the bulkhead.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in NW2, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. Wherever you live, it starts with a visit and a quote.
Cricklewood: For a family home near Anson Primary School, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller. If you live near Gladstone Park, keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright.
Looking after your furniture
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Move furniture away from the wardrobe wall in advance
- Check your lease before fixing furniture to walls in a leasehold flat
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
Fill the rails gradually and spread the weight along them rather than packing one end. Very heavy coats sit best on a shorter rail, so the rail stays straight.
Close doors gently and do not let them swing into furniture. It helps the hinges and runners stay true.
What prompts fitted wardrobes
After a loft conversion, the new bedroom usually needs storage that suits the slopes. Wardrobes built under the slope use space that would otherwise sit empty.
Fitted wardrobes can help with:
- Standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall
- Condensation behind a wardrobe on an outside wall
- Bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes
- Several odd pieces where one run of storage would do
How we price fitted wardrobes
There is no set price, because there is no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The overall size of the piece
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
We do not publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, talk through the design and then quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Before the design visit
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
The quote is built from the design visit. 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, so you can take your time with it. To book one, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
It’s worth being honest about cost: 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.
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Boards, parts and paint
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting is done in the workshop, giving a smooth, even surface on large doors. It suits a crisp, modern look as well as a classic panelled door.
Birch plywood
Drawers get heavy use, so we often make the boxes from birch plywood, so they hold their shape.
Questions from NW2
Which is better for fitted wardrobes, hinged or sliding doors?
It depends on the room. Hinged doors open a whole section at once but need room in front to swing, while sliding doors save space but only open part of the wardrobe at a time. We talk through both at the measuring visit.
Can fitted wardrobes follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions, and fitted wardrobes are one of the best ways to use them. The slope is measured during the design visit and the wardrobe scribed to it on site.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: 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.
Which boards do you build with?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, depending on the part and the design. Your quote sets out the materials.
What if my bedroom floor is not level?
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 close neatly.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The time on site depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We will talk you through what to expect beforehand.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
