Walk-in wardrobes in Malden Rushett: what you get
A walk-in wardrobe needs air moving through it, particularly where it sits against a cooler external wall. Moving air helps keep clothes fresh and stops damp building up, so we allow for it in the design. We make walk-in wardrobes from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and the things people most often want solved are room for two wardrobes in one space and setting aside a corner of a large bedroom.
With interwar houses or semis a big part of the housing around Malden Rushett, bedrooms are often straightforward shapes, sometimes with a chimney breast or a bay. That makes a full wall of fitted furniture simple to plan, laid out around what you store. If the loft has been converted, sloping ceilings bring their own options.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It sets out the design we have talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
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.
Could you do it yourself?
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.

Is it time for walk-in wardrobes?
Some homes have a small room that never quite earns its keep. Turning it into a dressing room can make better use of it than keeping a bed in it.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- More space for clothes and shoes
- A dressing table with drawers and a mirror
- Moving wardrobes out of the bedroom
- Shelves for shoes and bags

How fitting works for walk-in wardrobes
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections built in our workshop come in next. The time the fitting takes depends on the room and how much is fitted into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know at the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.

Advice
Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Plan shoe storage around what you own
- Deal with any damp walls first
- Measure how much long hanging you need
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
Store heavy things on lower shelves and spread the weight along the rails. That keeps the hanging and shelves in good shape.
Plan any lighting with your electrician in good time. Wiring is their work, not ours, and the units can be designed around the lighting.

Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
Is parking a problem for fitting in Malden Rushett?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.

Yes, Malden Rushett is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in. It is good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
It needs a little planning: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
It is made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.
