Our walk-in wardrobes across Merton
Lighting makes a big difference in a dressing room, and any new lights or wiring are for your electrician. We plan the units with your electrician’s work in mind, and agree the details during the design visit. We make walk-in wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about somewhere for shoes to live and separate space for two people’s clothes.
You won’t need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it’s useful to have the room cleared beforehand. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long the fitting takes depends on how much hanging, shelving and drawer space goes in, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
- We start with the room you have in mind and what needs a home.
- We come to measure the room and go through how the space should work, with shoe storage and a dressing table if you’d like them.
- You get a written quote for the design we’ve agreed, for you to read through.
- Everything is made and finished in our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The units are fitted in your home and trimmed to follow the walls.
How our quotes work
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It’s useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.

Around Wimbledon
The streets we cover here include those near St. Mark's Church, Willington School and Wimbledon High School, among other places. Other local landmarks include Cannizaro Park (0.8 miles west), Bishop Gilpin CofE Primary School (under half a mile north-east) and Dog & Fox pub (close by, under half a mile west). Wimbledon has its own railway station: Wimbledon station. Other landmarks nearby include Wimbledon Museum (within half a mile west) and Atkinson Morley Hospital (1.2 miles west). Not far away are Henman Hill and Merton Park Green Walks.
Bedroom storage across Merton
In Merton, a spare room often doubles as a study or a guest room. The design can help one room work two ways, keeping clothes, bedding and everything else out of sight.
In Merton, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 37%) and before 1919 (about 27%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Around a third of the homes in Merton (about 37%) date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Houses from that era often have a box room over the stairs, with a raised bulkhead in the floor, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 36% of households in Merton live in terraced houses, based on Census 2021. London terraces usually have a small back bedroom and alcoves in the main bedroom, both good spaces for fitted storage.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so we look at both at the measuring visit.
Wimbledon: Southside House, about 1.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go. For a family home near Wimbledon High School, walk-in wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture 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, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.
Tips worth knowing
None of this takes much effort. What we’d suggest:
- Line up your electrician for any new lights
- Count your coats and long garments
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Know what you will keep before planning
Store heavy things on lower shelves, and don’t overload a single rail. That keeps the hanging and shelves in good shape.
If you live in a leasehold flat, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. We can’t advise on your lease.
What we don’t do
It is worth being clear about where our work stops:
- Building a new partition wall
- Advice on your lease
- Plastering, decorating or flooring
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
There’s a place for both. For a simple space, off-the-shelf can do the job. For awkward rooms, period homes or a built-in look, a bespoke design tends to earn its place.

Questions from Merton
Do you do the electrics for the lighting?
No. New lights and wiring are for your electrician. We design the units so the lighting can fit in and talk it through when we measure.
Do walk-in wardrobes need ventilation?
Yes, it helps keep clothes fresh and damp away. The design allows air to circulate and walls should be dry before we fit.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. Let us know when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
That is normal in older homes, and it’s what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
The furniture is built in sections. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.
Can you turn a small spare room into a dressing room?
In many cases, yes. The layout depends on the room, the door and the window, so we work it out when we measure.
