How we make walk-in wardrobes for New Barnet
A box room is often too small for a bed but just right for a dressing room. Lined with hanging and shelves, it can hold far more than a wardrobe in the bedroom, leaving the bedroom with more space. We plan the layout so you can stand, turn and see everything. 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 the right mix of long and short hanging and somewhere for shoes to live.
A good part of the housing around New Barnet is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Many 1930s houses have a small box room over the stairs, often with a raised bulkhead in the floor, and the bulkhead is built around rather than ignored. Main bedrooms from that era are often a good size, with a bay window at the front.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made at our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Pricing walk-in wardrobes in New Barnet
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- Spray painting or hand painting
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
These details help when you contact us:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- How you want to use the space
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Examples of the look you are after
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough sizes and some photos if you have them. To send them, drop us a line using the contact form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Questions from New Barnet
Do you make walk-in wardrobes for homes in New Barnet?
Yes. New Barnet is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with a few details.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in New Barnet?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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. It helps to tell us about parking at the measuring visit.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. Your lease is something we cannot advise on, so check it or ask your managing agent.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. Tell us when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
How long does fitting take?
How long the fitting takes depends on the room and how much is fitted into it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
Why bespoke in New Barnet?
If you’re likely to move soon, standalone furniture you can take with you may suit better. It’s worth thinking about how long you plan to stay before you decide. If a house has been extended or knocked through, the new walls and the old ones may not line up, which shows up against standard furniture. Built-in pieces are scribed to take up the difference.
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

Bedroom storage in New Barnet
In the streets around New Barnet, the largest groups of homes date from between 1919 and 1939 (about 32%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 23%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 44% of households in the neighbourhood around New Barnet live in detached or semi-detached houses, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. A house like that normally has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier. Around a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around New Barnet (about 32%) 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, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead.
For a family home near St Mary's CofE Primary School, the inside of walk-in wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow. If you live near Victoria Recreation Ground, walk-in wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
New Barnet is in the London Borough of Barnet, about 3 miles south of Finchley. Wherever you are in New Barnet, the process is the same: we visit and measure, send a written quote, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. New Barnet is one of 41 places on our list for Barnet.
Design visits and fitting in EN5, EN4 and N20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover homes on streets such as York Road, Park Road and Henry Road, along with the roads around them, whether you want walk-in wardrobes or another piece made for the room. We also cover Barnet (1 mile west), Cockfosters (1 mile north-east), East Barnet (1 mile south-east), Underhill (1 mile west) and Whetstone (1 mile south). We also make walk-in wardrobes in nearby places such as Finchley (3 miles south), Burnt Oak (4 miles south-west), East Finchley (4 miles south), Hendon (5 miles south-west), Edgware (5 miles west) and Friern Barnet (2 miles south).
Near you in New Barnet
We fit furniture in homes around East Barnet School, Trent School Cockfosters and The Alexandra pub and the streets around them. There is a railway station in New Barnet itself: New Barnet station. Well-known places in the area include Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum (2 miles south) and Barnet General Hospital (2 miles west). Not far away are Greenhill Gardens.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is normally 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.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
Do you need walk-in wardrobes in New Barnet?
Couples sharing a wardrobe often want more space each. We can design separate areas for hanging, shelves and drawers, so neither of you is squeezed.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- Somewhere for shoes to live
- A walk-in wardrobe in a box room
- A side each for a couple
- A built-in dressing table
If your home is one of the older houses near Holy Trinity Lyonsdown, tall ceilings give walk-in wardrobes room to reach the cornice.

From workshop to your room
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and it’s useful to have the room cleared beforehand. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know during the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and what you want to store.
- We come to measure the room and go through how the space should work, with shoe storage and a dressing table if you’d like them.
- A quote in writing follows, covering the design, materials and finish, for you to read through.
- We build the carcasses, drawers and shelves in our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The units are fitted in your home and trimmed to follow the walls.
Before we arrive
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Keep pets in another room while we work

If you know what you want, say so; if you do not, that is fine, and we can work it out together. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.
