About wall beds in Ealing
A wall bed, sometimes called a Murphy bed, lifts up into a cabinet during the day and is lowered again at night. It means a room can work as more than a bedroom, so a guest room can double as a study or playroom. We make the cabinet for your room and paint it in a colour you choose. We make wall beds from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and people most often get in touch about a spare room that’s rarely slept in and a playroom that can sleep visitors.
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and the wall where the bed could go.
- At the design visit we check what the wall is made of, as a wall bed has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies.
- A written quote follows, covering the cabinet, the materials and the finish.
- We build the cabinet in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit the cabinet in your home and fix the mechanism as its maker specifies.
- We go through the bed with you; the cabinet has the spray-painted or hand-painted finish you chose.
What goes into your quote
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 during the design visit, so it can be planned.

Wall beds for homes across Ealing
Ealing has bedrooms of every shape, from bay-fronted rooms in older houses to tight rooms in modern flats. Wall beds are drawn up to suit the room you actually have, with the inside laid out around what you keep.
The biggest shares of homes in Ealing were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 30%) and before 1919 (about 28%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. 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 30% of homes in Ealing date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (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. 4 of the 19 places in Ealing with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission.
We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Ealing is part of that. Every job starts the same way, with a design visit to measure and discuss the design.
Ealing: Living in a block of flats near Ealing Broadway station? Then the route in is measured as well as the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. Near listed buildings like Pitzhanger Manor House, less than half a mile east of the centre of Ealing, older homes may keep original joinery that wall beds can be designed around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
Pricing wall beds in Ealing
Prices vary from room to room, and it comes down to:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit, then set it out in the quote.
What to send when you contact us
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. Just send what you can:
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Examples of the look you are after
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Your postcode and the borough
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing for you to look over. To book one, use our contact form.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it’s easy to buy.
Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a traditional finish that suits older homes.
Bed mechanism housing
The mechanism sets the size of the housing and the mattress it takes.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A normal bed has nothing to fix to the wall, which is a fair point in its favour. But if the room has other jobs to do, a wall bed lets it do them every day.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Where they’ll park and unload
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t advise on your lease.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Let us know about it when you get in touch.
Your questions about wall beds in Ealing
Do you do plastering or decorating?
No. Plastering and decorating are not part of our work. We paint the furniture itself, by spray or by hand.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some need consent for alterations. We cannot give advice on your lease.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. It works the same way as any job: design visit, written quote, workshop, fitting. If the property is let, the agent can arrange access with the tenants.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
Should I send pictures?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, particularly with rough sizes. You can send them when you fill in our short enquiry form.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
That is normal in older homes, and it is what scribing is for. We scribe the edges to follow the wall and set the furniture level on adjustable feet or a plinth.
What happens at the design visit?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
