Walk-in wardrobes designed for your room
How we make walk-in wardrobes for Kensal Green
Good light helps you see colours and find things. Wiring for new lights is a job for your electrician. We plan the units with your electrician’s work in mind, and agree the details during the design visit. We make walk-in wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are shelves for shoes and bags and a use for a small spare room.
Floors in older houses often slope, and a large share of the homes around Kensal Green are that old. Fitted furniture sits on a plinth or adjustable feet set level, so doors close square and the gaps stay even. Where the wall bows, the edge is scribed to follow it.

Bedroom storage in Kensal Green
About 62% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Kensal Green went up before 1919, and about 14% between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Kensal Green, Historic England’s list includes The Anglican Chapel (Grade I), less than half a mile south, and The Dissenters Chapel (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-east. Listing covers the inside of a building as well as the outside, so works that affect a listed home’s character, like removing original joinery, can need listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Brent has its own. If your street in Kensal Green is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay through the council may be needed. Let us know what the parking is like at the design visit.

Tips worth knowing
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Keep the room ventilated
- Think about long versus double hanging
- Talk to your electrician early about lighting
- Sort through your clothes before the design visit
New paintwork takes a while to harden after fitting. Go easy on painted surfaces at first, and wipe them with a soft, damp cloth.
Plan any lighting with your electrician in good time. New lights and wiring are for them, and it’s easier to plan the units around it from the start.
Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
Drawers are opened every day and need to be sturdy.

What we do not do
We’re carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:
- Building a new partition wall
- Lighting and wiring, which are for your electrician
- Lease checks, which are for you and your building’s managers
If in doubt, you can send us a few details through our contact form and describe the room. How it works.

The problems walk-in wardrobes solve
The most common reason is simply running out of wardrobe space. Rails are crammed, shelves overflow and shoes end up under the bed. A dressing room spreads it all out so you can see it.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- Hanging for coats, dresses and shirts
- Separate space for two people’s clothes
- Proper shoe storage
- A calmer, clearer bedroom
For an older house near St Martin, tall ceilings give walk-in wardrobes room to reach the cornice.
What to check before you book
- Are the boards named, such as MDF or plywood?
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- How parking will work on your street
- Will the quote be in writing?
Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
My house in Kensal Green is Victorian. Can you deal with uneven walls?
Yes. Walls in older houses are rarely flat or square, and floors are often out of level, so each piece is scribed to follow the wall and set level on a plinth or adjustable feet. We also work around skirting boards, picture rails and cornices. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
I live near Kensal Green station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Brent 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 tell us about parking and access at the same time.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
Getting it in is planned during the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and each section is made to a size that will get through.
How much does a walk-in wardrobe cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Each walk-in wardrobe is different, so we price it after the design visit. To get started, use our contact form.
Do I need permission to fit furniture in a leasehold flat?
Possibly. Some leases need the building owner’s consent before you make alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
We need someone to let us in at the start of the day. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
From workshop to your room
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. 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. If your hall still has its original tiles or boards, they’re covered before any carrying starts. Drilling into lath and plaster is done with care, so the plaster around stays sound. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- First, you tell us about the space.
- We visit, measure and talk through hanging, shoe storage and a dressing table, planned around the way you get dressed.
- You receive a quote in writing.
- The units are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit everything in your home and check every door and drawer.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
How to get a quote
It is useful to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them tell us a lot about the space. To send them over, get in touch through our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
