Walk-in wardrobes in Friern Barnet
When is bespoke worth it?
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is usually cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
How we make walk-in wardrobes for Friern Barnet
Good light helps you see colours and find things. Wiring for new lights is a job for your electrician. We can plan the units so there’s space for the lighting you want and agree the details when we measure. Typical reasons to get in touch are storage for clothes that have outgrown the wardrobe and somewhere to sit and get ready; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
In a part of London with mixed housing, like much of the city, bedrooms range from box rooms to large rooms with bays and sloping ceilings. Walk-in wardrobes can work in any of them, from a small spare room to a main bedroom. Nothing is assumed to be square, so the room is measured carefully.

Pricing walk-in wardrobes in Friern Barnet
The price for your room depends on:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It’s useful to talk about parking during the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Where you live, with the postcode
- How you want to use the space
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
Do you cover homes near New Southgate station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Friern Barnet?
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 measuring visit, so we can plan the day around it.
How long does fitting take?
Every room is different. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. Your quote sets out which you have chosen.
How much does a walk-in wardrobe cost?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. The size of the room, the layout and the finish all make a difference. For a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Bedroom storage in Friern Barnet
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Friern Barnet were built between 1973 and 1999 (about 28%) and before 1919 (about 27%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The National Heritage List records 6 entries within half a mile of the centre of Friern Barnet. Being near listed buildings doesn’t make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. About 25% of homes in the neighbourhood around Friern Barnet date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, a good spot for fitted furniture built around the bulkhead.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St John the Evangelist, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent. If you live near Friary Park, keeping walk-in wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. The wider area includes historic houses like Heath Hall, about 2.7 miles south. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind walk-in wardrobes is part of the design.

How fitting day works
You won’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in, and it is useful to have the room cleared beforehand, as agreed at the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. The time the fitting takes depends on how much hanging, shelving and drawer space goes in, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Before fitting day, we check the route in as well as the room, so the furniture comes in sections sized for the route. We cover floors and doorways on the way in.
- We start with the space and the clothes it needs to hold.
- We visit to measure up and go through the layout, including any dressing table.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish.
- The units are made and finished in our workshop.
- We fit the walk-in wardrobe in your home, scribed to the walls and set level.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Flats, leases and landlords
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it’s worth raising at the measuring visit.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Tell us about it when you contact us.
