Our fitted wardrobes across UB7
In a period bedroom, the alcoves beside the chimney breast make natural wardrobe spaces. Wardrobes in both alcoves leave the chimney breast on show, and each one is scribed to walls that are rarely straight. Picture rails and cornices can be met neatly or cut around. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about no space in front for doors to swing and clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms.
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and that happens on fitting day. Few walls in older London homes are truly flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself 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. Hinged or sliding doors are part of that conversation.
- 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.
- We fit them in your home, scribe them to the walls and hang the doors.

Fitted wardrobes for homes across UB7
We make fitted wardrobes for homes across UB7, in West Drayton, Yiewsley and Cowley 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.
In the UB7 postcode district, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 31%) and the years since 2000 (about 23%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Around a third of the homes in UB7 (about 31%) were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Post-war bedrooms are typically simple shapes, which suits fitted furniture along a whole wall, fixed to suit the wall. 2 of the 6 places in UB7 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 work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and UB7 is part of that. Every job starts the same way, with a design visit to measure and go through the design.
West Drayton: If your children go to West Drayton Academy or a school nearby, the inside of fitted wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow. For an older house near Church of St Martin, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Large flat-pack wardrobes can be hard to build in a small bedroom. Our wardrobes are made in sections sized to get up the stairs, into the lift and through the doors, ready to assemble in the room.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Real projects you can actually look at
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- Where they’ll park and unload
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease.
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
Caring for painted furniture
A little care keeps the finish looking good, whether it was spray painted or hand painted. Here are our suggestions:
- For a flat, measure the stairs, landings and lift
- Empty the area where we will be working
- Check how much space there is in front for doors to open
- Mention if the wardrobe will go on an external wall
Don’t pack clothes tight against the back panel, especially on an external wall. A little airflow helps keep damp at bay.
Do not dry washing inside a wardrobe or in the bedroom with the doors shut, as the extra moisture can lead to condensation. Opening a window now and then helps.
Where other trades come in
Some parts of a job need another trade, such as an electrician, a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- Painting walls and ceilings, or repairing plaster
- Electrical work, such as moving sockets or switches, which is for your electrician
- Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
FAQs: fitted wardrobes in UB7
Hinged or sliding doors: which suits my bedroom?
Both work well, depending on the space. Hinged doors give full access but need clear space in front, while sliding doors save space but only open part of the wardrobe at a time. We’ll help you weigh them up when we visit.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
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.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Usually not. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. If the building is listed, works affecting its character can need listed building consent, so ask the council’s conservation officer.
Can fitted wardrobes follow a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Many loft rooms have sloping ceilings. We measure the slope carefully at the measuring visit and scribe the wardrobe to it.
Will fitted wardrobes get up the stairs to my flat?
We make the wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home. We measure the stairs, landings and lift as well as the bedroom. If you’re in a leasehold flat, check your lease before fixing furniture to walls.
What if my bedroom floor is not level?
We allow for it from the start. The wardrobe is set level with a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the walls.
