About fitted wardrobes in TW2
Rail heights are set for the clothes they hold. Long coats and dresses need one tall section, while shirts, jackets and folded trousers suit two rails, one above the other. We also think about who uses it, so the top rail is within comfortable reach. Typical reasons to get in touch are clothes with nowhere proper to go and not enough hanging space; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. How long fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You contact us with some details about the room and the wardrobes you’d like.
- We visit to measure up and plan the doors, rails, shelves and drawers with you.
- We send a quote in writing 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.

Starting with a design visit
We quote once we’ve seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, and the written quote comes after. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Fitted wardrobes for homes across TW2
From Twickenham, Hounslow and Teddington to the quieter streets, bedrooms across TW2 range from box rooms to large rooms with bays. Each design uses the room’s own widths and height. Hanging, shelves and drawers inside are arranged around what you store.
About 31% of the homes in TW2 went up before 1919, and about 27% between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. 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. A quarter or more of the homes in the TW2 postcode district (about 27%) date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. 2 of the 10 places in TW2 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 doesn’t normally need planning permission.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so the way in is measured along with the room.
Whitton: For a flat near Whitton station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If your children go to Royal Military School of Music or a school nearby, the inside of fitted wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.
Boards, parts and paint
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.
Hanging rails
Rails are set at heights that suit your clothes: a high rail for long items and double rails for shorter ones.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
How we price fitted wardrobes
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How big the furniture is
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
Awkward rooms take more time: uneven walls, sloping floors and angled ceilings all add scribing and cutting on site. The quote allows for it, which we write after seeing the room.
What to send when you contact us
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around

The problems fitted wardrobes solve
A move is a common trigger. Wardrobes from an old home rarely suit a new room, or won’t go up the stairs at all. Built-in wardrobes are planned for the room you live in now.
People typically get in touch with us about things like these:
- Mismatched bedroom furniture
- A room too narrow for hinged doors
- Not enough hanging space
- Damp or musty clothes against an external wall
Looking after your furniture
These points come up often when people plan fitted wardrobes. They help before and after fitting:
- Work out the split between long and short hanging
- Ask your electrician about moving sockets early
- In a leasehold flat, read the lease first
- For a flat, measure the stairs, landings and lift
A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough to clean painted doors. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays, which can mark the finish.
Spread heavy items rather than piling them in one place. Shelves and rails are sized for everyday loads, so tell us during the design visit if you need to store something heavy.
Questions from TW2
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Usually not. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings may need listed building consent for works that affect their character, so check with the council first.
Is it possible to build wardrobes into a loft room with a slope?
Yes. Many loft rooms have sloping ceilings, and fitted wardrobes are one of the best ways to use them. We measure the slope carefully at the measuring visit and scribe the wardrobe to it.
What happens when you come to measure?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
Can fitted wardrobes go on an external wall?
Yes, as long as it’s ventilated. An outside wall is often colder than an inside one, so we allow for airflow behind and inside the wardrobe.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in TW2?
Yes. TW2 is part of the area we cover. To arrange a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How do you get fitted wardrobes into a flat?
Each wardrobe is built in sections that suit the stairs, landings and lift, then assembled in the bedroom. Let us know about any concierge or lift booking rules.
How do I get started?
It’s easiest to drop us a line using the contact form. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
