Walk-in wardrobes for your home in Farthing Street
About our walk-in wardrobes in Farthing Street
Some people want doors on everything; others like open shelves and rails. Doors give a tidy, finished look and help keep dust away, and open rails make it quick to find things. The choice is yours, and we’ll go through it when we measure. We make walk-in wardrobes from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are shelves for shoes and bags and separate space for two people’s clothes.
A loft conversion is a common way to add a bedroom to a semi or an interwar house, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. A big part of the housing around Farthing Street is interwar, semi-detached or detached. We work in lofts that are already converted, with each piece scribed to the slope and set level.

Flats, leases and landlords
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising during the design visit.
Caring for painted furniture
People planning walk-in wardrobes often ask about these. They’re worth knowing before and after fitting:
- Count your shoes before the design visit
- Sort through your clothes before the design visit
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Deal with any damp walls first
Store heavy things on lower shelves and spread the weight along the rails. That keeps the hanging and shelves in good shape.
Talk to your electrician early about lighting. New lights and wiring are for them, and it’s easier to plan the units around it from the start.
What happens on fitting day
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Fitting day means carrying in the sections, joining them and fitting them to the walls. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- We start with the space and the clothes it needs to hold.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan the hanging, shelves and drawers, including any dressing table.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish, ready for you to check.
- The units are made and finished in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the walk-in wardrobe in your home, scribed to the walls and set level. We then check the doors and drawers with you.
How to prepare
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Farthing Street homes and walk-in wardrobes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Farthing Street were built between 1973 and 1999 (about 31%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 27%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Near the centre of Farthing Street, Historic England’s list includes Farthing Street Farmhouse (Grade II), under half a mile north-east, and Orange Court Farmhouse (Grade II), less than half a mile east. If your own home is listed, internal works that affect its character, like fixing into or removing original joinery, may need listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. TfL’s red routes have strict stopping rules. If your street in Farthing Street joins a main road, it’s worth telling us at the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live in a flat close to Orpington station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If your children go to Downe Primary School or a school nearby, walk-in wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. If your home is one of the older houses near St Mary's Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go.

How we price walk-in wardrobes
Several things affect the price:
- The number of doors and drawers
- How big the furniture is
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Parking and unloading on your street
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, then set it out in the quote.
Helping us understand the room
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It is useful to include:
- How you want to use the space
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and discuss the design with you, and the written quote comes after. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Your questions about walk-in wardrobes in Farthing Street
Is parking a problem for fitting in Farthing Street?
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.
I live near Orpington station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
That’s normal in older homes, and it’s what scribing is for. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
How long will the walk-in wardrobe take to fit?
The time the fitting takes depends on the room and how much is fitted into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
What happens when you come to measure?
It is a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you contact us, and we will see what we can do.
