Wall beds designed for your room
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We can’t give advice on leases.
Wall beds for homes in Belvedere
In a studio flat, a wall bed can make the main room feel much larger. During the day, the room is somewhere to sit, work and eat; at night, the bed comes down. We can build shelves, cupboards or a desk around the bed cabinet, so the whole wall works hard. If your home has shelves or a desk around the bed and a studio that works by day and night, that is what wall beds are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In a part of London with mixed housing, like much of the city, bedrooms range from box rooms to large rooms with bays and sloping ceilings. Fitted furniture can suit each, sized and laid out for the room. Every wall in Belvedere homes is measured on site, because none is assumed to be square.
The quote comes in writing, so you can read it at your own pace and share it with anyone else involved. It records the design, the materials and the finish we discussed.

Fitted bedroom furniture in Belvedere
Homes built before 1919 make up about 26% of the housing in the area around Belvedere, with about 22% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Belvedere include Parish Church of All Saints (Grade II), under half a mile south-west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling can need listed building consent. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home is on or just off a main road, it’s useful to mention it. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
Living in a block of flats near Belvedere station? Then the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. If your children go to Lessness Heath Primary School or a school nearby, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

How fitting day works
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 and leaving everything tidy. The time the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you live in a block, check any rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours; if you live in a house, let us know about steps, paths and parking. We plan the details of the day during the design visit. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- To begin, use our contact form; a brief note on the room and how often guests stay is plenty.
- 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.
- You receive a quote in writing for the wall bed and any storage.
- The bed housing and any shelves or desk are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day the cabinet goes in, the mechanism is fixed securely and the bed is tried out.
- We go through the bed with you; the cabinet has the spray-painted or hand-painted finish you chose.
Preparing the room
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
Starting with a design visit
You do not need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To arrange it, send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room. The written quote follows the visit.

What prompts wall beds in Belvedere
Working from home has changed how many spare rooms are used. The room needs to be an office and still sleep guests, and a wall bed makes that possible.
Requests we hear often include:
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
- A spare room that is rarely slept in
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
The wider area includes historic houses such as Red House, about 2.3 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
Before you choose who makes it
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- Real projects you can actually look at
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
Practical tips
Painted fitted furniture is easy to look after with a little care. These habits help most:
- Keep children away while the bed moves
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
- Plan where chairs and desks will sit
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
Hand-painted finishes are easy to touch in if the cabinet gets a knock. A spray finish wipes clean and stays smooth and even.
Check how the cabinet will get into the room. We make the cabinet in sections that fit up the stairs and through the doors, so tell us about narrow stairs or a small lift.
Honest limits
We are carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. It is useful to know these before you plan the job:
- Strengthening or rebuilding a wall
- Supplying mattresses
- Decorating around the cabinet
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can message us from the contact page and we’ll give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.
Boards, parts and finishes
- Birch plywood

Common questions about wall beds
I live near Belvedere station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Bexley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is Belvedere in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, Belvedere is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bexley and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
Do you supply the mattress?
What matters most is that the mattress suits the mechanism. We go through the mechanism’s limits when we measure, so you can pick the right one.
How much time does fitting need?
Every room is different. 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.
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.
What space does a fold-down bed take up?
That varies with the size of the bed. At the design visit we measure the room and check there is enough space in front.
