Fitted wardrobes across UB4: what to expect
In a period bedroom, the alcoves beside the chimney breast make natural wardrobe spaces. A pair of alcove wardrobes keeps the chimney breast as a feature, scribed to follow the uneven walls. We meet the picture rail and cornice neatly, or cut around them. Most enquiries start with bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes and damp or musty clothes against an external wall; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as we will have talked about at the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. 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 get in touch about fitted wardrobes for your bedroom, with a rough idea of what you need to hang and fold.
- At the design visit, we measure the room, check the walls, floor and ceiling and plan the doors and inside with you.
- We send a quote in writing with the layout, materials and finish, ready for you to read through.
- The wardrobes are made in sections in our workshop. We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the wardrobes go in, are levelled and scribed, and the doors are hung.
What affects the price in UB4
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size comes first. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

Starting with a design visit
Getting a quote starts with some details: the room, rough measurements and some pictures if you have them. When you’re ready, send us a few details through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.

Homes across UB4 and their bedrooms
In UB4, a spare room often doubles as a study or a guest room. Fitted wardrobes can be planned so the room switches between them, keeping clothes, bedding and everything else out of sight.
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 37% of the housing in the UB4 postcode district, with about 27% built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 37% of homes in UB4 date from between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. A quarter or more of the homes in the UB4 postcode district (about 27%) were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, fixed to suit the wall.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so we look at both at the design visit.
Hayes: Near listed buildings like Church of St Mary, less than half a mile north of the centre of Hayes, older homes may keep original joinery that fitted wardrobes can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. If you live near Barra Hall Park, keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it’s easy to buy.
What prompts fitted wardrobes
Some bedrooms are hard to furnish. Slopes, chimney breasts, low windows and doors in awkward spots leave standard wardrobes with nowhere to go. We shape fitted wardrobes around those features.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- A tight bedroom where doors get in the way
- Not enough hanging space
- Condensation behind a wardrobe on an outside wall
- Empty alcoves in the bedroom
Boards, parts and paint
Hanging rails
We place rails at the heights your clothes need: a high rail for long items and double rails for shorter ones.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done on site once the wardrobes are fitted. Small marks are simple to touch up, and it suits a softer, traditional look.
What affects the price in UB4
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The overall size of the piece
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Before the design visit
These details help when you contact us:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Examples of the look you are after
- What the furniture needs to hold

Before and after fitting day
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so go gently with it for a while. After that, a few simple habits help:
- Plan any socket or switch changes with your electrician before fitting
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
- Look at whether your lease needs consent for alterations
- Think about where you will keep shoes, bags and folded clothes
Painted doors feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. For the first while, open and close the doors gently and avoid knocking hangers against the inside.
Let doors close gently rather than slamming, and keep sliding doors from crashing into the ends. It keeps hinges and runners in adjustment longer.
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
What happens at the design visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and a written quote follows.
What materials do you use?
We build with moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, depending on the part and the design. Your quote sets out the materials.
Should I send photos?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, particularly with rough measurements. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.
How long will the fitting take?
The time on site depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days. We will talk you through what to expect beforehand.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it. We agree the colour with you before anything is painted.
