How we make fitted wardrobes for WC1N
Loft conversions, common in London terraces, often leave sloping ceilings. A fitted wardrobe can follow the slope, with long hanging at the tall end and shelves or drawers where it gets lower. It turns an tricky corner into storage. Most enquiries start with several odd pieces where one run of storage would do and too little room for clothes, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
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 made in our workshop, a piece at a time. How long the fitting takes depends on how many wardrobes there are and how the room is shaped, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You get in touch and tell us what you keep in your wardrobes now.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan the inside: long hanging, double hanging, shelves and drawers.
- A written quote follows, listing the layout inside, the doors and the finish.
- The wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, ready for the rails, shelves and drawers you chose.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, spray-painted in the workshop or hand-painted on site, and the inside fittings go in last.
How our quotes work
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. It helps to talk about parking at the measuring visit.

How to get a quote
If you already have something in mind, tell us; 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 then sets it out. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.
What’s near Holborn
We fit furniture in homes around Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, Lincoln's Inn Fields and The Yorkshire Grey pub. Nearby too are British Library of Political and Economic Science (a few minutes’ walk south), St Alban's Church (a few minutes’ walk east), City Academy (less than half a mile north) and St Alban's Church of England Primary School (within half a mile east). There is a railway station in Holborn itself: Farringdon station. Well-known places in the area include Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (under half a mile west) and Montfichet's Tower (0.7 miles south-east). Not far away are Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
Homes across WC1N and their bedrooms
If your bedroom in WC1N has a chimney breast, the alcoves either side are natural places for storage. Where there is not one, fitted wardrobes can run along a full wall instead. Either way, each piece is fitted to the walls and floor as they are.
The biggest shares of homes in the WC1N postcode district were built before 1919 (about 44%) and since 2000 (about 20%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. More than a third of the homes in WC1N (about 44%) 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. Purpose-built flats are home to about 73% of households in WC1N, the 2021 Census shows. For a flat, fitted wardrobes are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones run by the boroughs, so a van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges. Let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Holborn: Dr Johnson's House, about 0.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go. Close to Lincoln's Inn Fields? Fitted wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Modular interior systems can be rearranged easily, and that flexibility is useful. A bespoke interior is planned around your clothes from the start, and adjustable shelves keep some flexibility.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Are the boards named, like MDF or plywood?
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
Do you need fitted wardrobes?
For some, it is about a calmer room. A single run of painted doors looks tidier than mixed furniture, and everything has a place behind it.
A few of the things people ask us to solve are these:
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
- A tight bedroom where doors get in the way
- Wardrobes that are full to bursting
- Wasted space beside the chimney breast
Where other trades come in
We make and fit furniture, and we do not do electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering or structural work. Please bear these in mind too:
- Moving switches or sockets, which needs an electrician
- Building work to create a loft room
- Removing walls, chimney breasts or any structural work
Flats, conversions and lettings
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We cannot give advice on leases.
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.
What affects the price in WC1N
There is no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Spray painting or hand painting
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
- The width and height of the space
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, and that is part of the price. Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured.
What we need to know
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.
Your questions about fitted wardrobes in WC1N
Is it possible to have storage over the bed?
Yes. Storage around a bed makes good use of a wall that is often wasted, with wardrobes at the sides and cupboards overhead. The bed size and room are measured when we visit.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Let us know when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
Do you make good the walls afterwards?
No. Plastering and decorating are not part of our work. The furniture itself is spray painted or hand painted.
How do I get started?
It’s easiest to drop us a line using the contact form and tell us about the room. After that, we arrange a design visit and follow it with a quote in writing.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?
Yes. Sloping ceilings are common in loft conversions. The slope is measured during the design 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.
