Walk-in wardrobes designed for your room
How we make walk-in wardrobes for East Finchley
Most designs start with the hanging. Full-length hanging takes coats, dresses and long garments, and two rails stacked one above the other suit shirts, jackets and trousers. We plan the mix around what you actually wear. Most enquiries start with storage for clothes that have outgrown the wardrobe and separate space for two people’s clothes; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Where housing is mixed, as in much of London, bedrooms can be anything from a box room to a big front room. Walk-in wardrobes can work in any of them, from a small spare room to a main bedroom. Every wall in East Finchley homes is measured on site, because none is assumed to be square.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

From workshop to your room
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long fitting takes depends on how much hanging, shelving and drawer space goes in, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Whatever the age of your home, the furniture is fitted to the walls you have, with scribing where they wander and packing where floors dip. Spray-painted pieces arrive finished; hand-painted ones can be finished on site.
- You let us know about the room and what you want to store.
- We visit to measure up and go through the layout.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish.
- We build everything in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the units are fitted and trimmed to the room.
Before fitting day
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to

Bedrooms in East Finchley: local notes
Homes built before 1919 make up about 35% of the housing in the streets around East Finchley, with about 29% built between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The National Heritage List has 21 entries within half a mile of the centre of East Finchley. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and walk-in wardrobes can be designed to work around them. Around East Finchley, about 35% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for Barnet as a whole, about 20%, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. That makes period details like uneven walls, alcoves and picture rails more likely to shape the design.
If you live in a period home close to Church of the Holy Trinity, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind walk-in wardrobes is part of the design. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Church of the Holy Trinity, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
East Finchley is about 1 mile north of Finchley, in the London Borough of Barnet. Whether your home in East Finchley is a terraced house, a flat or a newer build, the furniture is designed around the room as we find it. Our work takes in places right across Barnet.

Why people ask for walk-in wardrobes in East Finchley
Some want somewhere to sit and get ready. A dressing table with drawers and a mirror can sit within a walk-in wardrobe next to the hanging and shoe storage.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- Storage for clothes that have outgrown the wardrobe
- Separate space for two people’s clothes
- Setting aside a corner of a large bedroom
- Hanging for coats, dresses and shirts
For families living near Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, the inside of walk-in wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How parking will work on your street
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
What it is made from
Shelves
We plan shelving for knitwear, bags and things you use less often. Spans and depths are sized so they do not sag.
Spray-painted finish
The colour is agreed with you before we spray.
Looking after your furniture
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Make sure walls are dry before units go in
- Think about whether you want doors
- Plan shoe storage around what you own
- Talk to your electrician early about lighting
New paintwork takes a while to harden after fitting. Go easy on painted surfaces at first and avoid harsh cleaners.
If you want a partition to create the walk-in wardrobe, talk to a builder first. We make and fit the units inside.
Questions from East Finchley
I live near New Southgate station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Barnet and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is East Finchley in the area you cover for walk-in wardrobes?
Yes, we work across Barnet, East Finchley included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
Getting it in is planned at the measuring visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and each section is made to a size that will get through.
Should I send pictures?
Yes. They give us a feel for the space before we visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
What does a walk-in wardrobe cost?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. A box room with rails and shelves and a full dressing room with drawers and a dressing table are very different jobs, so we price it after the design visit. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission, even in a conservation area. Listed buildings can require listed building consent for works that affect their character.
