Walk-in wardrobes in Colliers Wood, Merton
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. Our work on walk-in wardrobes in Colliers Wood starts with a design visit, and everything is made at our workshop.

Fitting day, step by step
At the end, we tidy up. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together. 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. Original hallway tiles and old floorboards are worth protecting, so they’re covered before anything comes in. Fixings into older walls are made carefully, as lath and plaster can crack if treated roughly. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- You get in touch and tell us about your clothes, shoes and bags and how you get ready.
- We visit to measure up and work out the layout inside, including any dressing table.
- You receive a written quote for the walk-in wardrobe.
- We build the carcasses, shelves and drawers in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the units in your home, then put in the rails, shelves and drawers at the heights we agreed.
Before we arrive
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Empty the space we will be working in
Arranging a design visit
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.

About our walk-in wardrobes in Colliers Wood
Ventilation matters in a room full of clothes, especially on an external wall, which can be colder than internal walls. Moving air helps keep clothes fresh and stops damp building up, so we allow for it in the design. If your home has a bedroom without crowded wardrobes and a walk-in wardrobe within the bedroom, walk-in wardrobes made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Older bedrooms typically have generous ceiling heights, and a large share of homes around Colliers Wood are that old. Fitted furniture can run right up to the ceiling or the cornice, with high storage for the things you use least. Original mouldings are worked around rather than removed, so the furniture suits the house.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Walk-in wardrobes in Colliers Wood: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 55% of the housing in the streets around Colliers Wood, with about 16% built between 1973 and 1999, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. There are 11 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Colliers Wood. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. The share of homes built before 1919 around Colliers Wood, about 55%, is well above the figure for Merton as a whole, about 27%, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. So older-house details are more likely to come into the design of walk-in wardrobes.
Near listed buildings like Gala Bingo Club, about 0.5 miles north of the centre of Colliers Wood, older homes may keep original joinery that walk-in wardrobes can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. If you live in a flat close to Tooting station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If you live near Figge's Marsh, a bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.

What affects the cost of walk-in wardrobes
There is no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- How big the furniture is
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Spray painting or hand painting
There’s no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
What to send when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- What you’d like to store or use the space for

Questions from Colliers Wood
Is parking a problem for fitting in Colliers Wood?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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’s useful to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
I live in a flat in Colliers Wood. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in along with the room itself: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
Can I send photos ahead of the visit?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. To send them, drop us a line using the contact form.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not typically. 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.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you before anything is painted.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Tell us when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
When is bespoke worth it?
It’s worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture usually costs less up front. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
What it is made from
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF stays flat and paints beautifully, in any colour you choose.
Hanging rails
We plan rails for full-length garments and for double hanging, based on what you wear.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner 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.
