Wall beds in Brentham Garden Suburb
You need room in front of the cabinet to lower the bed, so we plan the layout with that in mind. We think about where a chair, rug or desk will go, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. Typical reasons to get in touch are room for a desk and a guest bed and a living room with a bed that folds away, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and the slope can take storage cut to its angle. A big part of the housing around Brentham Garden Suburb is interwar, semi-detached or detached. We work in lofts that are already converted, with each piece scribed to the slope and set level.
The furniture is made at our workshop after you’ve had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so you can check every detail beforehand.

What it costs
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How square the room is
- The internal fittings
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. Your choice, along with the size and the fittings, is reflected in the written quote.
Before the design visit
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Approximate measurements of the space
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Fitting day, step by step
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections built in our workshop come in next. How long the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. Gates, paths and steps up to the door are part of the route we measure. Floors are covered from the door to the room, and the sections are assembled in place.

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, and it’s easy to buy.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there’s normally a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Your questions about wall beds in Brentham Garden Suburb
Is parking a problem for fitting in Brentham Garden Suburb?
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 tell us about parking during the design visit.
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you cover Brentham Garden Suburb?
Yes. Our area is the whole of London: every borough and the City of London, and that includes Brentham Garden Suburb.
Do you do the electrics?
No. We’re carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
How are wall beds priced?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. For a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You choose it, and it’s agreed with you before painting. Whichever finish you pick, it’s in the colour you have chosen.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them during the design visit, and we’ll plan the fitting around them.
