Walk-in wardrobes in Blendon
Lighting makes a big difference in a dressing room, and any new lights or wiring are for your electrician. We can plan the units so there’s space for the lighting you want, and agree the details during the design visit. If your home has somewhere for shoes to live and setting aside a corner of a large bedroom, that’s what walk-in wardrobes are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
With interwar houses or semis a big part of the housing around Blendon, bedrooms are often simple shapes, sometimes with a chimney breast or a bay. That makes a full wall of fitted furniture simple to plan, laid out around what you store. If the loft has been converted, sloping ceilings bring their own options.
Once you’ve read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made in our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
I live near Albany Park station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Blendon?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
The furniture is built in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. At the design visit, we measure the route as well as the room.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you have chosen.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some need consent for alterations. Your lease is something we can’t advise on, so it’s worth checking before fitting day.
From workshop to your room
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it’s worth mentioning at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You tell us about the room and what you want to store, from long coats to shoes.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan the hanging, shelves and drawers.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish.
- We build everything in our workshop.
- We fit the walk-in wardrobe in your home, scribed to the walls and set level.
How to prepare
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
Starting with a design visit
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. For a quote, get in touch through our contact form.

What else we make in Blendon
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is easy to buy.
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: off-the-shelf furniture usually costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so tell us about it at the measuring visit.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them during the design visit.

The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how walk-in wardrobes are fixed and fitted. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Blendon include Jays Cottages (Grade II), less than half a mile north, and Chapel House (Grade II), less than half a mile north-west.

More than half of the homes in the area around Blendon (about 63%) 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.
If you live near Danson Park, walk-in wardrobes are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. Living in a block of flats near Albany Park station? Then it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If you live in a period home close to St James the Great, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go.
