How we make wall beds for Havering
A wall bed needs clear space in front of it to fold down, and that shapes the design. Furniture in front of the bed has to be easy to move or kept out of the way when the bed is down. 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 storage wall with a bed inside and a home office that also sleeps guests.
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it’s useful to have the room cleared beforehand, as we’ll have talked about at the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- It starts with a short note from you.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and the colour.
- A written quote follows.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly. New paint needs gentle use while it cures.
What goes into your quote
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Wall beds for homes across Havering

Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 36% of the housing in Havering, with about 35% built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for wall beds, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Around a third of the homes in Havering (about 36%) date from between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 35% of homes in Havering were built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Post-war bedrooms are usually simple shapes, which suits fitted furniture along a whole wall, fixed to suit the wall.
Our area covers the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City, Havering included. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
Romford: The wider area includes historic houses like Hare Hall, about 1.4 miles north-east. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. If you live near Lodge Farm Park, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Off-the-shelf units can leave gaps at the sides or top. We can build to the full height and width, with storage or shelves filling the rest of the wall.

- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Whether they measure the room themselves
What it is made from
Bed mechanism housing
A wall bed housing needs to be rigid and true, so it’s built from sturdy board. It’s fixed into a wall or floor that can take the load.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a traditional finish in a period room.
What we do not do
It’s useful to know what’s outside our work before you plan:
- Advice on your lease
- Choosing a mattress for you
- New sockets, lighting or wiring (your electrician)
What affects the price in Havering
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The number of doors and drawers
- The overall size of the piece
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. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Helping us understand the room
These details help when you get in touch:
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Examples of the look you are after
You do not need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To arrange it, send us a few details through our contact form and tell us about the room. You receive a written quote after the visit.

- A flexible room for a growing family
FAQs: wall beds in Havering
Do you do the electrics?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can allow for cable routes in the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you have chosen.
Can a wall bed go on any wall?
It depends on the wall and floor. The mechanism must be fixed to a sound wall or floor, as its maker specifies, so we check it at the design visit.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes. We often design the bed as part of a wider storage wall with shelves or a desk beside it. The design keeps clear space in front for the bed to fold down.
What happens when you come to measure?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too.
How long does fitting take?
Every room is different. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote, so you’ll know before we start.
Will you travel outside London?
No. Our work is in London only: all 32 boroughs and the City of London.
