Wall beds for your home in Belmont
Wall beds for homes in Belmont
Studio flats benefit more than most from a bed that folds away. By day, the room is a living space, and at night it becomes a bedroom. Storage and shelving can go on either side or above to make the most of the wall. If your home has a home office that also sleeps guests and a studio that works by day and night, that’s what wall beds are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
A bedroom in a house from between the wars normally has simpler mouldings than a Victorian one, so fitted furniture can often run neatly to the ceiling. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Belmont, the top cupboards can hold suitcases and spare bedding. The skirting is scribed around rather than removed.
Where other trades are needed, for instance an electrician to move a socket, we point that out, so it can be arranged before fitting day. The quote itself covers our work, from the design to the materials and finish.

Before and after fitting day
None of this takes much effort. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us what the wall is made of if you know
- Choose a mattress that suits the mechanism
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
- Give the paint time to cure fully
The paint needs time to cure fully after fitting. Treat the cabinet gently at first, and wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth only.
Check how the cabinet will get into the room. Furniture made in a workshop comes in sections sized for stairs, landings and lifts, so it helps to know about tight turns.
Belmont homes and wall beds
About 61% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Belmont went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 14% before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how wall beds are fixed and fitted. Part of Belmont is in a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you are unsure, check with the council before work starts. About 61% of homes in the streets around Belmont date from between 1919 and 1939, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, a good spot for fitted furniture built around the bulkhead.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Kenton Lane Farmhouse, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. For families living near St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.

Fitting day, step by step
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so we scribe the edges by hand to follow the wall, until the line is tight. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it’s worth mentioning during the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- First, you tell us about the room and how you’d like it to work. A desk or shelving around the bed can be part of it.
- We visit, measure up and check the wall the bed will fix to. We also check there is clear space in front to lower the bed.
- We send a quote setting out the design, materials and finish.
- The bed cabinet and any shelves or desk are built in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly. The finish is sprayed in our workshop or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
Getting a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Advice
What we do not do
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. That means:
- Choosing a mattress for you
- Getting consent under your lease
- Making good the walls after other work
If in doubt, you can send us a few details through our contact form and describe the room. How it works.
What goes into it
- Hand-painted finish
- Birch plywood
- Shelves or a desk alongside
- Fold-down bed mechanism
- Spray-painted finish
- Moisture-resistant MDF
The problems wall beds solve
Sofa beds aren’t 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.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- A spare room that is rarely slept in
Close to Canons Park? Wall beds are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
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 run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Questions we are often asked
Does a conservation area in or near Belmont affect fitted furniture?
Typically not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Belmont?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Is the furniture made to order?
We make it in our workshop, to the sizes taken at the measuring visit. After that, we fit it in your home.
Should I send pictures?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot, particularly with rough measurements. You can send them when you fill in our short enquiry form.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
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, and the written quote comes afterwards.
