How we make wall beds for Redbridge
A wall bed folds up into a fitted cabinet when you do not need it and comes down when it is time to sleep. It means a room can work as more than a bedroom, so a guest room can double as a study or playroom. We build the cabinet around the bed to suit the room and paint it in a colour you choose. Typical reasons to get in touch are storage built around a fold-down bed and a guest room that sits empty most of the time; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You let us know about the room.
- We come to measure and go through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- You receive a quote in writing covering the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly. New paint needs gentle use while it cures.
How our quotes work
How it is painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.

Homes across Redbridge and their bedrooms
From Woodford, Ilford and Loxford to the quieter streets, bedrooms across Redbridge range from box rooms to large rooms with bays. Each design uses the room’s own widths and height. The inside layout is planned around your things.
About 34% of the homes in Redbridge went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 27% before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. About 34% of homes in Redbridge date from between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. Terraced houses are home to about 32% of households in Redbridge, the 2021 Census shows. London terraces normally have a small back bedroom and alcoves in the main bedroom, which suit fitted furniture.
Controlled parking zones cover large parts of London, and depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. It’s useful to tell us about parking during the design visit.
Woodford: Valentines Mansion, about 2.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. For an older house near St Barnabas' Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising during the design visit.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, which we check at the design visit.
What it is made from
Birch plywood
Shelves beside a wall bed often carry books, and birch plywood helps them resist sagging.
Bed mechanism housing
We build the housing to suit the mechanism, fixed securely as its maker specifies. When the bed is up, the front looks like cupboard doors.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. Off-the-shelf furniture can’t typically do that in an older room.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
The problems wall beds solve
Sofa beds are not always comfortable for regular use. A wall bed takes a proper mattress, chosen to suit its mechanism, and the bed sits flat on its frame.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- Room for a desk and a guest bed
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
What affects the price in Redbridge
To work out the quote, we look at:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The width and height of the space
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit.
What to send when you contact us
These details help when you get in touch:
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
It is useful to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space, along with rough sizes. To share them, use our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
Your questions about wall beds in Redbridge
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
Will you travel outside London?
No. Our work is in London only: all 32 boroughs and the City of London.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
We plan the route in at the measuring visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and each section is made to a size that will get through.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
How are wall beds priced?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Will you paint the walls around the furniture?
No. Plastering and decorating aren’t part of our work. We paint the furniture itself, by spray or by hand.
How long does fitting take?
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.
