About fitted wardrobes in SW19
Some bedrooms suit wardrobes that wrap around the bed, with cupboards each side and a run of storage above the headboard. Others work around a window. The layout is planned so the room does not feel boxed in. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms and damp or musty clothes against an external wall.
You are welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting and leaving the room tidy. How long the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.
- You get in touch about fitted wardrobes for your bedroom, with a rough idea of what you need to hang and fold.
- We visit to measure up and plan the doors, rails, shelves and drawers with you. Hinged or sliding doors are part of that conversation.
- We send a written quote with the layout, materials and finish.
- We build the wardrobes in our workshop, in sections sized to get into your home. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the wardrobes go in, are levelled and scribed, and the doors are hung.
How our quotes work
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit, and the quote follows.

Homes across SW19 and their bedrooms
We make fitted wardrobes for homes across SW19, in Wimbledon, Putney and Colliers Wood and beyond. External walls can be colder than internal ones, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whatever it’s made of.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 48% of the housing in SW19, with about 15% built between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. About 48% of homes in the SW19 postcode district were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Older bedrooms usually have alcoves and tall ceilings, both of which fitted wardrobes can use. 5 of the 18 places in SW19 with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. The rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in SW19, 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.
Wimbledon: For a family home near Wimbledon High School, fitted wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. For a flat near Wimbledon station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.
Materials and finishes
Hanging rails
Rails are placed so the top one is within easy reach without a step. Shelves above the rails hold things used less often.
Moisture-resistant MDF
Moisture-resistant MDF is stable and takes paint well, which makes it ideal for wardrobe doors and visible panels. It suits bedrooms where the wardrobe sits on an external wall.
How we price fitted wardrobes
What you pay depends on:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How big the furniture is
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured.
What to send when you get in touch
When you contact us, these help most:
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
When you need someone else
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Treating damp or mould on the walls
- Structural changes to the room
- Painting walls and ceilings, or repairing plaster
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, which we check during the design visit.
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 advise on your lease.
Looking after your furniture
The finish lasts best with a little care. These practical tips help:
- Look at how many long coats and dresses you have
- Have sockets moved before the wardrobes go in
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
- List the things that won’t hang, such as jumpers and shoes
Doors can settle a little once the wardrobes are filled. Hinges can usually be adjusted to line the doors up again.
Close doors gently and do not let them swing into furniture. It helps the hinges and runners stay true.
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Can fitted wardrobes go either side of the bed?
Yes. Wardrobes can sit either side of the bed with a bridge of cupboards above. It is planned so there’s room around the bed and the room doesn’t feel enclosed.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
It is worked out with you when we measure, starting from the clothes you have. Adjustable shelves keep some flexibility for later.
Can wardrobes be fitted on an uneven floor?
We allow for it from the start. We level the wardrobe on a plinth or feet and scribe it to the walls so the doors close neatly.
Do you work outside London?
No. Our work is in London only: every London borough and the City of London.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you have chosen.
How do I get a quote for fitted wardrobes in SW19?
The first step is to tell us about the room on our contact form and let us know about the room. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Is it OK to put a wardrobe on an outside wall?
Yes, as long as it is ventilated. External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we allow for airflow behind and inside the wardrobe.
