Wall beds for your home in Brent Cross
How it is made
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.
Birch plywood
Shelves beside a wall bed often carry books, and birch plywood helps them resist sagging.
How we make wall beds for Brent Cross
Many spare rooms are only just big enough for a bed, and the bed fills the room even when no one is staying. A wall bed gives that floor back during the day, ready for work, exercise or play. When guests come, the bed folds down. If you are living with a guest bed that disappears in the day and somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep, wall beds made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
In an area where interwar homes or semis make up much of the housing, as around Brent Cross, bedrooms typically have regular walls, a window on one side and sometimes a chimney breast. That makes a full wall of fitted furniture simple to plan, laid out around what you store. If the loft has been converted, sloping ceilings bring their own options.
Where other trades are needed, for example 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.

Pricing wall beds in Brent Cross
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. The main factors are:
- The overall size of the piece
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- How square the room is
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. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside.
Helping us understand the room
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. It is enough to send:
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Examples of the look you’re after
- The type of home and how the room is reached
Every quote follows a design visit. We measure the space, check the walls and floors and discuss what you’d like, and the written quote comes after. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. To book a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
What wall beds cannot fix
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- Decorating around the cabinet
- Building work to make a wall sound
- Choosing a mattress for you
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can send us a few details through our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How it works.

Fitted bedroom furniture in Brent Cross
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Brent Cross were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 40%) and before 1919 (about 31%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Near the centre of Brent Cross, Historic England’s list includes Penfold House (Grade II), less than half a mile north, and Hendon Central Underground Station (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-west. For a listed home, changes inside that alter its character can need listed building consent from the council, for example removing or fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. On TfL’s red routes, the rules on stopping and loading are strict. If your street in Brent Cross joins a main road, it’s worth telling us during the design visit. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live near Clarefield Park, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. If you live in a period home close to Christ Church Hendon, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. The wider area includes historic houses like Heath House, about 1.9 miles south-east. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, which is worth sorting early. We cannot advise on your lease.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls during the design visit.
Questions from Brent Cross
Is parking a problem for fitting in Brent Cross?
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. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Brent Cross West station?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Will a wall bed work on my 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 measuring visit.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
A wall bed is designed to be used regularly as long as they’re fixed and used as the maker specifies. The mechanism is fixed securely to a wall or floor that can take the load, and the maker’s guidance on use should always be followed.
What happens during the design visit?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We look at the walls, floors and anything the furniture has to work around, then send a quote in writing.
How fitting works for wall beds
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections built in our workshop come in next. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a 1930s house with a converted loft, the stairs to the loft room are often steeper than the main flight, so any section going up there is sized for them. Elsewhere in the house, the route is normally more generous. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.
- You tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and talk through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- A written quote follows.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
