About our walk-in wardrobes in Collier Row
Many London homes have a small room that’s tricky as a bedroom. Lined with hanging and shelves, it can hold far more than a wardrobe in the bedroom, leaving the bedroom with more space. We plan the layout so you can stand, turn and see everything. If your home has somewhere for shoes to live and long and double hanging planned around your clothes, walk-in wardrobes made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
In a 1930s semi, the main bedroom often sits over the front room and its bay, so fitted storage typically goes on the walls either side while the bay stays open. Around Collier Row, a big part of the housing is interwar, semi-detached or detached, so it is a room shape worth planning for. We measure every wall, even where the room looks square.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Questions we are often asked
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Romford station?
Yes. We cover all of Havering and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few 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 Collier Row?
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. It is useful to tell us about parking during the design visit.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
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.
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 quote in writing.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by prior arrangement. Let us know when you first get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
Pricing walk-in wardrobes in Collier Row
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- The width and height of the space
- Doors and drawers, and how many
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. Let us know about parking at the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
To help us picture the room, please include:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Your postcode and the borough
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
We quote once we have seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and go through the design with you, and the written quote comes after. There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.

Fitting day, step by step
You are welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made at the design visit and set out in your quote, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully and leaving the room tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on how much hanging, shelving and drawer space goes in, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Interwar houses typically have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, though we still measure the route in along with the room itself. Walk-in wardrobes arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- You get in touch and describe the room.
- We visit to plan the room and measure the way in, including stairs, landings and doorways. It’s useful to mention parking then, as much of London has controlled parking zones.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build the units in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We carry the sections in, join them in the room and scribe them to the walls. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
Starting with a design visit
Getting a quote starts with a few details: the room, rough sizes and some pictures if you have them. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.
Advice
Before and after fitting day
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- Think about whether you want doors
- Think about long versus double hanging
- Leave room for air behind hanging clothes
- Wipe painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth
Let air move through the walk-in wardrobe, especially if it is on an external wall. Leave a little space behind hanging clothes, so air can circulate.
If you want a partition to create the walk-in wardrobe, talk to a builder first. We make and fit the units inside.
Collier Row homes and walk-in wardrobes
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 59% of the housing in the streets around Collier Row, with about 33% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Collier Row include Numbers 215 (Grade II), about 0.6 miles south. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, like fixing into original panelling. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. More than half of the homes in the neighbourhood around Collier Row (about 59%) 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 Raphael Park, walk-in wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. Hare Hall, about 1.7 miles east, 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.
