Wall beds in Bopeep: what you get
Our wall beds are made for homes in Bopeep and all over London. First comes a design visit, where we measure and look at the wall, followed by a quote. The cabinets are made at our workshop and fitted in your home. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you are living with a flexible room for a growing family and a guest room that sits empty most of the time, wall beds made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
A good part of the housing around Bopeep is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Many 1930s houses have a small box room over the stairs, often with a raised bulkhead in the floor, and the bulkhead is built around rather than ignored. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.
Once you’ve read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made at our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so every detail can be checked first.

When is bespoke worth it?
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Cost matters, and it is fair to say so: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.

How we price wall beds
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. The main factors are:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Parking near your home
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
There’s no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, go through the design and then quote in writing, naming the materials and finish. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.
Before the design visit
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Approximate measurements of the space
To make a start, send us a few details through our contact form and let us know which room you have in mind. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
Questions from Bopeep
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Bopeep?
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 during the design visit.
I live near Knockholt station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Bromley and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with some details about the room.
Can you build shelves or a desk around a wall bed?
Yes, that is a common request. Shelves and cupboards around the bed make the most of the space, while new sockets are for your electrician.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
We plan the route in at the design visit. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doors, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
What does a wall bed cost?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Each wall bed is different, so we quote once we have seen the room. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
Safety depends on a secure fixing and sensible use. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out, and you keep the space in front clear and children away while it moves.
What it is made from
Bed mechanism housing
A wall bed housing needs to be rigid and true, so we build it with care. It is fixed to a sound wall or floor.
Moisture-resistant MDF
We use moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels for a clean, even look.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the mechanism maker’s mattress guidance
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
- Let us know what the wall is made of if you know
Follow the mechanism maker’s guidance each time you lower and lift the bed. Make sure the floor in front is clear before the bed comes down, and don’t let children play with it.
Think about the route into the room. Furniture made in a workshop comes in sections sized for stairs, landings and lifts, so let us know about narrow stairs or a small lift.
What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are typically simple, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it’s going.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and how often the bed is used. 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.
- You get a written quote for the bed cabinet and any storage around it.
- We build and finish the bed housing and storage in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space. To send them over, get in touch through our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.
Advice
Wall beds in Bopeep: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Bopeep, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 59%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Bopeep include Maypole Cottages (Grade II), less than half a mile north, and Rock Cottage (Grade II), less than half a mile north-east. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for instance removing original joinery or fixing into it, can require listed building consent from the council. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Since the zone was extended to the outer boroughs in August 2023, the whole of London has been inside the ULEZ. Vans bringing furniture to Bopeep fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. We go through parking and access during the design visit.
Close to Hewitt's Chalk Bank? Morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they won’t shade the window. The wider area includes historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle, about 2.5 miles east. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design. For a family home near Chelsfield Primary School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.
