Our fitted wardrobes across NW9
Rail heights are set for the clothes they hold. Long coats and dresses need one tall section, while two rails, one over the other, suit shirts and jackets. We also think about who uses it. We make fitted wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are several odd pieces where one run of storage would do and a room too narrow for hinged doors.
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.
- It starts when you tell us about the room, the floor it is on and the wardrobes you want.
- At the design visit we plan the wardrobes with you and check the route in, including any lift or tight stair turn. Tell us about parking as well, as a van normally needs a permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension in much of London.
- A quote in writing follows with the design, materials and finish.
- The wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route we measured.
- We carry the sections up, join them in the room and scribe them to the walls and ceiling.
How our quotes work
Every room is priced on its own, 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. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Fitted wardrobes across NW9: local notes
We make fitted wardrobes for homes across NW9, in Burnt Oak, Neasden and Wembley and beyond. On an external wall, ventilation is designed in to help keep condensation away. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whatever it is made of.
About 42% of the homes in NW9 went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 26% since 2000, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. About 42% of homes in the NW9 postcode district date from between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. 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. A quarter or more of the homes in NW9 (about 26%) were built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted pieces use the full height and are fixed into the studs.
Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones run by the boroughs, and depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit.
Colindale: If you live in a flat close to Hendon station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. If your children go to Colindale Primary School or a school nearby, fitted wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
Boards, parts and paint
Spray-painted finish
Spraying in the workshop means the doors come to your home finished. Give the paint time to cure fully.
Hanging rails
We keep the top rail at a height you can reach. Higher space above can hold shelves for things you use less.
Where other trades come in
It is worth being clear about where our work stops:
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
- The loft conversion itself, which is building work under Building Regulations
- Moving switches or sockets, which needs an electrician
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
To be fair, modular wardrobe systems are easy to reconfigure. A bespoke interior is planned around your clothes from the start.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
Do you need 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, keeping the room clear.
Here’s what fitted wardrobes can help with:
- Wardrobes that are full to bursting
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
- A room too narrow for hinged doors
- A bedroom that never feels tidy
Your questions about fitted wardrobes in NW9
What affects the price of fitted wardrobes?
Size, doors and drawers, what goes inside and the finish all affect it, along with access and parking. The price comes in a quote in writing after the design visit.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. We are carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design.
How long are you in the house for fitting?
The time on site depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. We will explain what fitting day involves before we start.
How is the furniture 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. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the furniture made to order?
Everything is built in our workshop for your room, then fitted in your home. It’s built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
