About fitted wardrobes in W1U
In older bedrooms, the chimney breast alcoves are often the obvious place for clothes. 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 standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall and not enough hanging space; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. Next, we carry in the sections built in our workshop, one at a time. The time the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- It starts when you tell us about the room, the floor it’s on and the wardrobes you want.
- We visit to measure the room and go through the design, and we measure the stairs, landings and doorways too. Tell us about parking as well, as a van usually needs a permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension in much of London.
- A quote in writing follows with the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop the wardrobes are built in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, so each piece fits through the doors and round the landings.
- We carry the sections up, join them in the room and scribe them to the walls and ceiling.
Quotes in W1U
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. 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.

Arranging a design visit
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Local landmarks in Marylebone
The streets we cover here include those near Royal Society of Medicine Library, The Phoenix pub and Russian chapel on Welbeck Street. You’ll also find The St Marylebone CofE School (within half a mile north-west), St Anne's Churchyard (0.7 miles south-east), The St Marylebone CofE School (less than half a mile north-west) and St Vincent's Catholic Primary School (a few minutes’ walk west). There’s a railway station in Marylebone itself: Bond Street station. Other landmarks nearby include Respiratory Clinical Trials (under half a mile north) and Montfichet's Tower (2 miles east). Open spaces near Marylebone include St. James's Park Lake.
Bedroom storage across W1U
From Marylebone, Mayfair and Paddington to the quieter streets, bedrooms across W1U range from box rooms to large rooms with bays. Each design uses the room’s own widths and height. The inside layout is planned around your things.
The biggest shares of homes in the W1U postcode district were built before 1919 (about 49%) and since 2000 (about 16%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock 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. More than a third of the homes in the W1U postcode district (about 49%) were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Older bedrooms usually have alcoves and tall ceilings, both of which fitted wardrobes can use, scribed to walls that are not straight. Purpose-built flats are home to about 75% of households in the W1U postcode district, the 2021 Census shows. 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.
Homes across W1U range from period terraces to modern blocks, and we work in all of them. The process is the same wherever you are: a design visit, a written quote, then making and fitting.
Marylebone: If you live near St Anne's Churchyard, keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. The wider area includes historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House, about 0.3 miles south. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design.
What affects the price in W1U
What you pay depends on:
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- How big the furniture is
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
Getting in touch
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- What the furniture needs to hold
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
Rough sizes are fine at the start. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit. To get started, message us from the contact page with some details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.
Tips worth knowing
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Measure the gap between the wardrobe wall and the bed
- For a flat, measure the stairs, landings and lift
- Mention if the wardrobe will go on an external wall
- Ask your electrician about moving sockets early
Painted doors feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. For the first while, open and close the doors gently.
Now and then, check that handles and hinges are tight.
When is bespoke worth it?
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture typically costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is awkward, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Where other trades come in
Before you plan the job, it helps to know what we do not do:
- Moving switches or sockets, which needs an electrician
- Taking out a chimney breast to make space
- Building work to create a loft room
The problems fitted wardrobes solve
Sharing a bedroom means sharing the wardrobe. A fitted wardrobe can be planned with separate sections, each with the rails, shelves and drawers its owner needs.
A few of the things people ask us to solve are these:
- Wasted space beside the chimney breast
- Clothes with nowhere proper to go
- Standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall
- Space under the eaves going to waste
Questions we’re often asked
Will a sloping floor cause problems for fitted wardrobes?
It is common, and it is allowed for. We level the wardrobe on a plinth or feet and scribe it to the walls.
Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. The wardrobe is shaped to the ceiling line, with long hanging where there is height and shelves or drawers where it’s lower. It makes good use of space that’s hard to furnish.
How do I get a quote for fitted wardrobes in W1U?
Simply message us from the contact page. Rough measurements and a few pictures help, and then we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design.
Can you fit wardrobes in a top-floor flat?
We make the wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home. That’s why we measure the route, not just the room. In a leasehold flat, it’s worth checking the lease first.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How is the inside of the wardrobe planned?
It’s worked out with you when we measure, starting from the clothes you have. Adjustable shelves keep some flexibility for later.
Is it OK to put a wardrobe on an outside wall?
Yes, with ventilation planned in. External walls can be colder and damper than internal ones, so we plan airflow behind and within it to help avoid condensation and mould.
