Wall beds in Haringey: how it works
A wall bed folds up into a fitted cabinet when you do not need it and is lowered again at night. It lets one room do two jobs, 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 moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about a guest bed that disappears in the day and a spare room that’s rarely slept in.
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully. 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.
- We start with how the room is used and who’ll sleep there.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish.
- The bed housing and any shelves are built in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
What affects the price in Haringey
There is no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. Instead, we measure, discuss the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Why work with us
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- Saturday work by prior arrangement
- We work across all London boroughs
- We visit, measure and go through the design before we quote
How to get a quote
We quote once we’ve seen the room. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and discuss the design with you, and the written quote comes after. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. To book a design visit, use our contact form.

Wall beds across Haringey: local notes
From Tottenham, Noel Park and Wood Green to the quieter streets, bedrooms across Haringey range from box rooms to large rooms with bays. Wall beds are made for the room you have, using the full height where it helps. Hanging, shelves and drawers inside are arranged around what you store.
About 54% of the homes in Haringey went up before 1919, and about 13% since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. About 54% of homes in Haringey were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Older houses can have lath-and-plaster internal walls and floors that slope, both of which matter when fixing a wall bed. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 24% of households in Haringey, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, and the way in often goes up shared stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in Haringey are well within our area. Tell us about access and parking when you first get in touch.
Tottenham: If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Tower to South West of Bruce Castle, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent. Close to Bruce Castle Park? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.
What affects the cost of wall beds
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. It’s useful to talk about parking at the measuring visit, so it can be planned.
What to send when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Examples of the look you are after
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
Getting a quote starts with some details: the room, rough measurements and some pictures if you have them. To send them, get in touch through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a written quote.
Caring for painted furniture
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after. A few things help it stay looking good:
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Plan where chairs and desks will sit
The paint needs time to cure fully after fitting. Treat the cabinet gently at first, and clean the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth.
Consider how often the bed will be used and by whom. That helps decide its size and the mechanism as well as the storage around it.
Do you need wall beds?
Some people are tired of sofa beds. A wall bed takes a proper mattress, chosen to suit its mechanism, and the bed sits flat on its frame.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A real mattress for visitors
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- Hiding the bed when it is not in use
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
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.
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there’s a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you contact us.
If the property is let, we will need access agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Questions from Haringey
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: spray painted or hand painted. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you contact us.
How much does a wall bed cost?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each wall bed is different, so we quote once we’ve seen the room. To arrange a visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. Damp treatment isn’t something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, but it’s useful to be around at the end.
Will you provide a mattress for the bed?
The mechanism maker sets limits on mattress size and weight. We’ll explain its limits during the design visit, so you can choose with confidence.
