Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in St Paul's Cray?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It is useful to tell us about parking during the design visit.
Do you cover homes near St Mary Cray station?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
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 will design around them.
Is a box room big enough for a walk-in wardrobe?
Often, yes. We can line a small room with hanging, shelving and drawers, while leaving space to stand and turn. We check the room at the measuring visit.
Can a walk-in wardrobe be part of a bedroom?
Yes. We design the units to make a dressing area within the bedroom, and we fit the furniture once any building work is done.
Walk-in wardrobes in St Paul's Cray
You can have doors, open storage or a mix. Doors give a tidy, finished look and help keep dust away, while open storage lets you see everything at once. The choice is yours, and we will go through it when we measure. Most enquiries start with more space for clothes and shoes and a use for a small spare room; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
In a 1930s semi, the main bedroom often sits over the front room and its bay, which leaves the side walls for storage and the bay for light. Around St Paul's Cray, a big part of the housing is interwar, semi-detached or detached, so it is a room shape worth planning for. We measure every wall, even where the room looks square.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Do you need walk-in wardrobes in St Paul's Cray?
Some people want a calmer bedroom. With clothes in a dressing room, the bedroom can feel more restful.
Walk-in wardrobes can help with:
- Moving wardrobes out of the bedroom
- Somewhere to sit and get ready
- Turning a box room into a dressing room
- A walk-in wardrobe within the bedroom
If your children go to Leesons Primary School or a school nearby, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.
Before you choose who makes it
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
Bespoke walk-in wardrobes or ready-made?
A basic rail system is easy to change, which suits some people well. Bespoke joinery lets you mix doors, drawers, shelves and hanging, in a finish that suits the house. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, and standalone units can lean or gap. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size is the starting point. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Why us?
- Work across the whole of London
- Made in our workshop, then fitted in your home
- Finished by spray or by hand
- More than 300 projects completed

How fitting works for walk-in wardrobes
Fitting day follows a set order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Spray-painted pieces come finished from the workshop, while hand painting can happen on site. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.
- To begin, use our contact form; a brief note on the room and what it needs to store is plenty.
- At the design visit we measure the room and plan hanging lengths, shelves, drawers and shoe storage with you.
- A quote in writing follows, setting out the layout, materials and finish.
- 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.
Before fitting day

- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves

Pricing walk-in wardrobes in St Paul's Cray
There’s no set price, because there is no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking near your home
- How square the room is
- The internal fittings
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. Tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
