Main places
Our wall beds across Bexley
We build the bed housing from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. Doors on the front can look like a run of cupboards, so the room does not read as a bedroom by day. Most enquiries start with a home office that also sleeps guests and hiding the bed when it’s not in use; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
There isn’t 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. 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 the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You contact us about a wall bed for a spare room or studio.
- At the design visit we plan the bed cabinet and check the stairs, landings and any lift.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinet is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route.
- The cabinet is joined in the room, fixed securely and set level, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Quotes in Bexley
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It helps to talk about parking during the design visit, so we can plan for it.

Local landmarks in Sidcup
We fit furniture in homes around Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School, Waring Park and Birkbeck Primary School. Nearby too are Holy Trinity Church (under half a mile north) and The Alma pub (within half a mile south). There is a railway station in Sidcup itself: Sidcup station. A little further out are Queen Mary's Hospital (1 mile south) and Metropolitan Police Museum (under half a mile north-west).
Homes across Bexley and their bedrooms
Bedrooms across Bexley might have alcoves, sloping ceilings, bulkheads or none of these. Wall beds are scribed to the walls and levelled on site. The paint finish, spray-painted or hand-painted, is agreed with you.
The biggest shares of homes in Bexley were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 41%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 22%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. About 41% of homes in Bexley date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Houses from that era often have a box room over the stairs, with a raised bulkhead in the floor, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 52% of households in Bexley live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021. A house like that typically has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
Homes across Bexley range from period terraces to modern blocks, and we work in all of them. Wherever you live, it starts with a visit and a quote.
Sidcup: If you live in a flat close to Sidcup station, the route in is measured not just the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If you live near Waring Park, morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it’s easy to buy.
Caring for painted furniture
Fresh paintwork takes a while to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. Beyond that, these tips help:
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
- Follow the mechanism maker’s mattress guidance
- Plan where chairs and desks will sit
- Think about how often the bed will be used
Follow the mechanism maker’s guidance each time you lower and lift the bed. Make sure the floor in front is clear before the bed comes down, and don’t let children play with it.
Check how much floor there is in front of the cabinet. You need clear space for the bed to come down, so think about where a chair or desk will go.
Is bespoke worth it?
If you may move soon, a standalone bed you can take with you could suit you better. How long you’ll be in the home is worth weighing up before you decide.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
Shelves beside a wall bed often carry books, and birch plywood helps them resist sagging.
Spray-painted finish
For a sleek front, spray painting works well, and it is done before fitting.
Pricing wall beds in Bexley
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- The overall size of the piece
- How many doors and drawers there are
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
We do not publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Helping us understand the room
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- How you want to use the space
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. A written quote follows the visit. To arrange the visit, message us from the contact page.
Your questions about wall beds in Bexley
Will you travel outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
Can you build shelves or a desk around a wall bed?
Yes, and it’s one of the best ways to use the wall. A desk beside the bed suits a room that’s an office by day, and any new sockets are for your electrician.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. To send them, use our contact form.
Do you cover Bexley?
Yes. We design and make wall beds for homes in Bexley, and the process is the same everywhere we go.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work isn’t something we do; it is a job for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us.
