Fitted wardrobes across WD6: what to expect
Fitted wardrobes are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. Doors and panels are spray painted in the workshop or hand painted, in a colour agreed with you. Then we fit them in your home, levelling them on a plinth or adjustable feet and scribing them to the walls and ceiling. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and people most often get in touch about storage boxes stacked under the bed and bedroom alcoves that could hold clothes.
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.
- You get in touch with some details about the bedroom and where it is in the house.
- We visit to measure the room and go through the design, and we measure the stairs, landings and doorways too.
- You receive a quote in writing for the wardrobes.
- 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 WD6
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. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit.
Why work with us
- We visit, measure and go through the design before we quote
- Scribed to uneven walls

Starting with a design visit
To make a start, get in touch through our contact form and let us know which room you have in mind. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a quote in writing follows.

Fitted wardrobes across WD6: local notes
Across WD6, from Brockley Hill outwards, we design and fit fitted wardrobes. External walls can be colder than internal ones, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation. Each wall is checked so the fixings suit it.
About 35% of the homes in the WD6 postcode district went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 26% since 2000, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock 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 35% of homes in WD6 were built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, with fixings chosen for concrete, block or brick. About 26% of homes in WD6 were built since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board.
Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones run by the boroughs, and depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. Let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Brockley Hill: Living in a block of flats near Elstree & Borehamwood station? Then fitted wardrobes are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. For an older house near St Peter, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go.
Flats, leases and landlords
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Tell us about them at the design visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let, as it makes good use of an tricky room. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, finished by spray or by hand.
When is bespoke worth it?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
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.
What we don’t do
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Redecorating around the wardrobes
- Fixing the cause of condensation or damp
- Removing walls, chimney breasts or any structural work
Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
Standard wardrobes cannot follow a slope. A fitted wardrobe can be shaped to the ceiling line.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
Boards, parts and paint
Hanging rails
We place rails at the heights your clothes need: one high rail for long coats and dresses, two rails for shirts and jackets.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish often suits wardrobes in older houses. You choose the colour, and touch-ups are simple.
Questions from WD6
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 is worth checking the lease first.
Where is the furniture made?
We make it in our workshop, to the sizes taken at the design visit. Then we bring it to your home and fit it.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not usually. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
What happens at the measuring visit?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
What are your fitted wardrobes made from?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. MDF is stable and takes paint well, while birch plywood is strong and holds screws well.
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 is lower. It turns tricky space into storage.
Do you do plastering or decorating?
No. We do not plaster or decorate. The furniture is finished by spray or by hand, as agreed in your quote.
