Before and after fitting day
New paint needs time to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Know what you’ll keep before planning
- Leave room for air behind hanging clothes
- Think about long versus double hanging
New paintwork takes a while to harden after fitting. Go easy on painted surfaces at first, and wipe them with a soft, damp cloth.
Deal with any damp before the units go in. External walls can be colder and damper, and ventilation inside the units helps.
Walk-in wardrobes for homes in Raynes Park
A walk-in wardrobe can also be part of a bedroom. Where a bedroom is large enough, a section can be set aside with a partition or a run of units, either open to the room or behind doors. Any new partition wall is for your builder, while we make and fit the furniture. We make walk-in wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are a dressing table with drawers and a mirror and more space for clothes and shoes.
A bedroom in a house from between the wars usually has simpler mouldings than a Victorian one, so fitted furniture can often run neatly to the ceiling. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Raynes Park, high cupboards make a good home for suitcases and spare bedding. The skirting is scribed around rather than removed.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you, so it can be arranged before fitting day. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Ready-made wardrobe systems are easy to buy and often cheaper, and in a square room they can work. In an older room with uneven walls and a sloping floor, they leave gaps. A bespoke walk-in wardrobe is made to the room. Off-the-shelf units come in set widths, so a run along a wall typically ends with a gap, which fitted furniture avoids. It can use the full height too.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, then set it out in the quote.
Why choose Bespoke Carpentry in Raynes Park

Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a softer, traditional look in an older home.
Questions we’re often asked
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Raynes Park station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you make walk-in wardrobes for a home in Raynes Park?
Yes. Raynes Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Merton and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It’s made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That’s why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the design visit.
What happens at the measuring visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a quote in writing.
Bedroom storage in Raynes Park
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Raynes Park were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 48%) and before 1919 (about 25%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Raynes Park, Historic England’s list includes Methodist Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, like fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Merton sets its own rules. If your street in Raynes Park is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. Parking near your home is worth mentioning at the measuring visit.
If your children go to West Wimbledon Primary School or a school nearby, the inside of walk-in wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow. The wider area includes historic houses like Southside House, about 0.9 miles north. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go. For an older house near St Saviour's Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where walk-in wardrobes go.
Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton, about 2 miles north-east of Wimbledon. Our work covers every London borough and the City of London, Raynes Park included. Our Merton coverage includes Raynes Park.
Here we cover the SW20, KT3 and SM4 postcode area for walk-in wardrobes. Our area takes in homes on streets like Gore Road, Edna Road and Wyke Road, whether you want walk-in wardrobes or another piece made for the room. The A238 and A298 run close to Raynes Park; on busy main roads, unloading walk-in wardrobes takes a little planning. Nearby, we also make walk-in wardrobes in West Barnes (1 mile south-west), Bushey Mead (1 mile north-east), Cannon Hill (1 mile east), Motspur Park (1 mile north-west) and Wimbledon Chase (1 mile north-east).

What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in, and the sections are assembled in place.
- 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.
- You get a quote in writing for the design we have agreed, for you to read through.
- Everything is made and finished in our workshop.
- The units are fitted in your home and trimmed to follow the walls. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Before fitting day
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
How to get a quote
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and discuss the design with you. A written quote follows the visit. To book one, drop us a line using the contact form.
Advice
Flats, conversions and lettings
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Let us know about them at the measuring visit, and we will plan the fitting around them.
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
