Questions we’re often asked
Do you make walk-in wardrobes for homes in Broadfields Estate?
Yes. We cover all of Barnet and the rest of London, and Broadfields Estate is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Do you cover homes near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room.
How are walk-in wardrobes priced?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. The size of the room, the layout and the finish all make a difference. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a written quote.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours, and it is agreed with you before painting. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Can you turn a small spare room into a dressing room?
In many homes, yes. A box room can take hanging, shelves and drawers on its walls, while leaving space to stand and turn. We check the room at the design visit.
How we make walk-in wardrobes for Broadfields Estate
Hanging space is the heart of most walk-in wardrobes. Long hanging suits coats and dresses, and two rails stacked one above the other suit shirts, jackets and trousers. The balance of long and double hanging is based on your clothes. People usually come to us about hanging for coats, dresses and shirts and a walk-in wardrobe in a box room, and the answer is built in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. Around Broadfields Estate, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large part of the housing. We work in lofts that are already converted, with each piece scribed to the slope and set level.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Why people ask for walk-in wardrobes in Broadfields Estate
Sharing one wardrobe between two rarely works for long. We can design separate areas for hanging, shelves and drawers, so neither of you is squeezed.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- Long and double hanging planned around your clothes
- Storage for clothes that have outgrown the wardrobe
- A walk-in wardrobe within the bedroom
- Room for two wardrobes in one space
If you live near Edgwarebury Park, walk-in wardrobes are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Choosing a carpenter
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- Real projects you can actually look at
- How they handle walls that aren’t straight
Flats, leases and landlords
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls at the measuring visit.
How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long fitting takes depends on the room and how much is fitted into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. A front path or side gate can make the carry from the van simpler. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors are covered from the door to the room.
- First, you tell us about the space and how you dress.
- 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.
- We send a quote that sets out the layout, materials and finish.
- The units are made in our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the walk-in wardrobe in your home, scribed to the walls and set level. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Before fitting day
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Bedrooms in Broadfields Estate: local notes
About 52% of the homes in the area around Broadfields Estate went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 20% since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Detached and semi-detached houses are home to about 59% of households in the area around Broadfields Estate, according to Census 2021. A house like that usually has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier. Red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping and loading. If your home is on or just off a main road, it is useful to mention it. We can then plan where the van will stop.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Andrew, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go. If you live in a flat close to Mill Hill Broadway station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in.
Broadfields Estate is within the London Borough of Barnet, about 4 miles south-east of Finchley. Wherever you are in Broadfields Estate, it works the same way: we visit and measure, send a quote in writing, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it.

Landmarks near Broadfields Estate
The streets we cover here include those near The Northgate School and London Academy and the streets around them.

Other landmarks nearby include Elstree and Borehamwood Museum (2 miles north) and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (1.4 miles west). Not far away are Edgware Way Grassland.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
The real difference is in the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls.

Looking after your furniture
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Think about long versus double hanging
- Talk to your electrician early about lighting
- Plan shoe storage around what you own
- Decide on doors or open storage before we measure
Doors are hung and adjusted when we fit them. Houses move a little with the seasons, and hinges can be adjusted to keep the gaps even.
Deal with any damp before the units go in. External walls can be colder and damper, so we allow for ventilation.
