Fitted wardrobes in W1H: how it works
Doors can be hinged or sliding. With hinged doors, you see a full section when you open them. Sliding doors suit tighter rooms, but only part of the inside is open at any one time. We weigh them up with you during the design visit. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about condensation behind a wardrobe on an outside wall and mismatched bedroom furniture.
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, which keeps the lines straight. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard.
- You tell us about the room, including any slopes, alcoves or windows.
- We come to measure and talk through hanging heights, doors and drawers, with your clothes in mind.
- A written quote follows.
- Once you’re happy, the wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, ready for spraying or for hand painting on site.
- We bring them to your home and fit them in place. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.
What affects the price in W1H
Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.

Starting with a design visit
We quote once we have seen the room. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, and the written quote comes after. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. To book a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
What’s near Hyde Park Estate
Our area takes in the homes around Hyde Park, Church of St John the Evangelist and Duke Of Kendal pub and the streets around them. Nearby too are North Westminster Community School (0.5 miles north), International Community School (within half a mile north), Royal Society of Medicine Library (0.9 miles east) and Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School (a few minutes’ walk north-east). The closest station to Hyde Park Estate is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Harrods (1 mile south) and London Toy & Model Museum (0.6 miles west). For a walk, there is The Long Water and Campden Hill.
Fitted wardrobes across W1H: local notes
Many older bedrooms across W1H keep a chimney breast with an alcove on each side. In rooms without one, a full wall of storage often works best. Either way, each piece is fitted to the walls and floor as they are.
In W1H, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 44%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 16%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. About 44% of homes in the W1H postcode district were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Bedrooms in houses of that age often have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit wardrobes built to their widths, scribed to walls that aren’t straight. About 75% of households in W1H live in purpose-built flats, according to Census 2021. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in W1H are well within our area. If you are unsure about access or parking, mention it when you get in touch.
Hyde Park Estate: If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St Mary, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. Close to Hyde Park? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.
Caring for painted furniture
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. After that, a few simple habits help:
- List the things that will not hang, like jumpers and shoes
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
- Look at whether your lease needs consent for alterations
- Move furniture away from the wardrobe wall in advance
Painted wardrobe doors only need a soft cloth that is barely damp. Avoid abrasive pads and strong sprays, as they can dull the paint.
Don’t overload a single rail or shelf. Shelves and rails are sized for everyday loads, so mention anything unusually heavy when we plan.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the measuring visit.
Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
To be fair, modular wardrobe systems are easy to reconfigure. A bespoke interior is planned around what you own, and we can include adjustable shelves where you want flexibility.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How doors and drawers are fitted
How we price fitted wardrobes
Prices vary from room to room, and it comes down to:
- Parking near your home
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- How square the room is
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We’ll talk through what you need inside during the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
What we need to know
Some details help us understand the job before we visit. When you contact us, it helps to send:
- Examples of the look you’re after
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- How you want to use the space
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and go through the design with you. A written quote follows the visit. To arrange the visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Materials and finishes
Birch plywood
Wardrobe shelves can carry more weight than you’d think. Birch plywood helps keep them straight.
Doors and drawer fronts
Door styles range from simple flat fronts to panelled ones. They’re painted to match or contrast with the walls.
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
Which boards do you build with?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, depending on the part and the design. Your quote sets out the materials.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Let us know when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
How do I get started?
The first step is to use our contact form. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
How long will the fitting take?
It depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. The making happens in our workshop, so the time in your home is mostly fitting and finishing.
Is it possible to build wardrobes into a loft room with a slope?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions and fitted storage suits them well. The slope is measured at the measuring visit and the wardrobe scribed to it on site.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
Can I choose the layout inside the wardrobe?
We plan it with you at the measuring visit, starting from the clothes you have. Adjustable shelves keep some flexibility for later.
