Walk-in wardrobes in St Giles
What happens on fitting day
You will not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that are not straight, so there’s some trimming and adjusting on site. Floors are protected, and dust is kept down as far as possible. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so tell us about permits and bays at the design visit.
- You get in touch and let us know about your clothes, shoes and bags and how you get ready.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan hanging lengths, shelves, drawers and shoe storage with you.
- You receive a written quote for the walk-in wardrobe.
- We build the carcasses, shelves and drawers in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the units in your home, then put in the rails, shelves and drawers at the heights we agreed.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Keep pets in another room while we work
Ask for a quote
A quote begins with a few details from you: the room, rough measurements and some photos if you have them. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.

How we make walk-in wardrobes for St Giles
You can have doors, open storage or a mix. Doors give a tidy, finished look and help keep dust away, and open rails make it quick to find things. We’ll go through the options at the measuring visit. 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 the right mix of long and short hanging and a bedroom without crowded wardrobes.
Older bedrooms usually have generous ceiling heights, and a large share of homes around St Giles are that old. Fitted furniture can run right up to the ceiling or the cornice, with high storage for the things you use least. Original mouldings are worked around rather than removed.
Everything we agree at the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Questions from St Giles
My home in St Giles is a period house with walls that aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Yes, that is normal in older houses: each piece is scribed to the wall and levelled at the base. Skirting, picture rails and cornices are met neatly or cut around. Fixings are chosen for the wall, whether solid brick or lath and plaster.
My home in St Giles 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. Walk-in wardrobes are built in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Can I send photos before the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. Show anything the furniture has to work around, like radiators or sockets.
Can you put a walk-in wardrobe in part of a bedroom?
Yes. We design the units to make a dressing area within the bedroom, while any new walls are for your builder.
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’ll design around them.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Practical tips
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Have damp sorted before fitting
- Decide on doors or open storage before we measure
- Think about where shoes and bags will go
- Leave room for air behind hanging clothes
Let air move through the walk-in wardrobe, particularly on a cooler external wall. Leave a little space behind hanging clothes to help air move.
Leasehold flats can have rules about alterations, so check your lease early. We can’t advise on your lease.
What prompts walk-in wardrobes in St Giles
Some want somewhere to sit and get ready. A dressing table with drawers and a mirror can sit within a walk-in wardrobe next to the hanging and shoe storage.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- A side each for a couple
- A walk-in wardrobe within the bedroom
- A use for a small spare room
- More space for clothes and shoes
Close to St Anne's Churchyard? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.
Choosing a carpenter
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- How parking will work on your street
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
- Will the quote be in writing?
Where other trades come in
We do not treat damp or carry out building work, so these points are worth knowing:
- Getting consent under your lease
- Painting the walls of the room
- Electrical work in the room

Bedroom storage in St Giles
In the area around St Giles, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 49%) and the years since 2000 (about 21%), 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. Near the centre of St Giles, Historic England’s list includes Church of St Giles in the Fields (Grade I), under half a mile north-west, and House of St Barnabas (Grade I), less than half a mile west. If your own home is listed, works inside that affect its character, such as fixing into or removing original joinery, can require listed building consent. It is worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. About 78% of households around St Giles live in purpose-built flats, well above the figure for Camden as a whole, about 56%, the 2021 Census shows. That puts the stairs, lifts and doors on the route in at the centre of the plan.
For a family home near St Josephs Catholic Primary School, walk-in wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. If you live in a period home close to Soho Baptist Chapel, tall ceilings give walk-in wardrobes room to reach the cornice.
St Giles is about 1 mile north-east of St Pancras, in the London Borough of Camden. Design visits and fitting in St Giles can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. St Giles is one of the places in Camden where we make walk-in wardrobes, and the borough has 28 places on our list.
Design visits and fitting in W1F, W1D and W1T work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Our area takes in homes on streets like Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane, whether you want walk-in wardrobes or another piece made for the room. The A301 and A400 runs close to St Giles; on busy main roads, unloading walk-in wardrobes takes a little planning. We also cover the places around St Giles: Seven Dials (1 mile south), West End (1 mile south-west), Soho (1 mile south-west), Covent Garden (1 mile south-east) and Chinatown (1 mile south-west). Other parts of Camden we cover include Hampstead (4 miles north-west), West Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Agar Town (2 miles north), Kentish Town (2 miles north), Greenhill (3 miles north-west) and Chalk Farm (2 miles north-west). St Giles is one of the larger places we cover in Camden.
Near you in St Giles
The streets we cover here include those near London Nautical School, The Crown pub and Mercers' School and the streets around them. There is a railway station in St Giles itself: Tottenham Court Road station. Other landmarks nearby include Kingly Court (0.5 miles west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.1 miles east). Not far away are Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
Flats, leases and landlords
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
