Walk-in wardrobes for homes in Selhurst
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, and we design the units to allow for it. We make walk-in wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about a walk-in wardrobe in a box room and a side each for a couple.
Older bedrooms bring bowed walls and high ceilings, newer ones stud walls and lower ceilings. Your home in Selhurst could be either, or something in between. We scribe, level and fix to suit whichever you have. Ceiling height sets how tall the furniture can go.
If the job needs another trade, such as an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Questions from Selhurst
Do you make walk-in wardrobes for homes in Selhurst?
Yes, Selhurst is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Croydon 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.
My home in Selhurst is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you before anything is painted.
Does fitted furniture need planning permission?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
Can you turn a small spare room into a dressing room?
In many homes, yes. We can line a small room with hanging, shelving and drawers and still leave room to move. We’ll measure and plan it at the design visit.
Do you need walk-in wardrobes in Selhurst?
After a loft conversion or a change of layout, a room may be left without a clear use. A walk-in wardrobe is a popular way to use it.
Walk-in wardrobes can help with:
- Shelves for shoes and bags
- A walk-in wardrobe within the bedroom
- More space for clothes and shoes
- Room for two wardrobes in one space
If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Mark, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind walk-in wardrobes is part of the design.
Before you hire any carpenter
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
Fitting day, step by step
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and the room should already be cleared, as agreed at the design visit. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. How long 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 walk-in wardrobes arrive in sections that fit through. We cover floors and doorways on the way in.
- First, you let us know about the space and how you dress. It could be a spare room, a box room or part of a bedroom.
- 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.
- You get a quote in writing for the design we have agreed, for you to read through.
- We build the carcasses, drawers and shelves in our workshop.
- We bring everything to your home and fit it to the room. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
Getting a quote
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, get in touch through our contact form.

What affects the price in Selhurst
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. This is what makes the difference:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How square the room is
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Access to the room makes a difference too. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections. There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Where you live, with the postcode
- How you want to use the space
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space. To send them over, use our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
Bedroom storage in Selhurst
In the area around Selhurst, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 17%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Part of Selhurst is in the South Norwood Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. The council can confirm if you’re not sure. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. Where a home in Selhurst is on or beside a main road, it helps to mention that during the design visit. We’ll plan where the van can stop.
For families living near St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller. Near listed buildings like Stanley Technical High School and Stanley Halls, less than half a mile north-west of the centre of Selhurst, older homes may keep original joinery that walk-in wardrobes can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.

What else we make in Selhurst
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, as well as a bigger outlay. In return, the layout is built around your clothes and your room. Ready-made furniture rarely suits a recess, a slope or an odd corner, and most homes have at least one. Fitted furniture is designed around them.
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
