Bespoke wall beds or ready-made?
Sofa beds cost less and need no fixing, and for occasional guests that may be enough. With a wall bed you get a proper bed and an empty floor by day, which can make a small room usable. Gaps behind, beside and above ready-made furniture collect dust, and fitted furniture closes them.
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit.
Why choose us
- Spray painted or hand painted, in the colour you choose
- Saturday visits and fitting by arrangement

- Made for your room, not a standard size
How we make wall beds for Bromley Common
Many spare rooms are only just big enough for a bed, and a bed that is used a few times a year takes most of the floor. A wall bed gives that floor back during the day, ready for work, exercise or play. Guests still get a proper bed when they stay. If your home has a real mattress for visitors and a study that doubles as a spare room, wall beds made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Where the window, radiator and door sit decides most of a bedroom layout. For any home in Bromley Common, those are the first things we note at the design visit, and fitted furniture is planned around them. Nothing is built tight over a radiator, so the heat still reaches the room.
After the design visit, we send you a quote in writing. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Common questions about wall beds
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Bromley Common?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the design visit.
I live near Bickley 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.
Is a mattress included with the wall bed?
The mattress needs to suit the mechanism, including its size, depth and weight. We’ll go through those limits at the measuring visit so you can choose one that works.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
The furniture is built in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways at the measuring visit.
How much room do I need in front of a wall bed?
The bed needs room in front of it to come down, on top of the cabinet’s own depth. We measure this during the design visit, so the design works.

What else we make in Bromley Common
Bromley Common homes and wall beds
About 28% of the homes in the streets around Bromley Common went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 23% before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Bromley Common include Oakley House (Grade II), less than half a mile south-east, and Turpington Farmhouse (Grade II), about 0.5 miles north-east. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 32% of households in the area around Bromley Common live in terraced houses, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. London terraces usually have a small back bedroom and alcoves in the main bedroom, which suit fitted furniture.
If you live in a period home close to Holy Trinity Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. If you live near Norman Park, a bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.
Bromley Common is part of the London Borough of Bromley, about 3 miles east of Orpington. Anywhere in Bromley Common, it works the same way: a design visit, a written quote, furniture built in our workshop and fitting in your home. In Bromley, Bromley Common is one of the places we cover.

What wall beds cannot fix
Not everything around wall beds is carpentry, like an electrician, a plumber or an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Here’s what to know:
- Mattresses, which you choose to suit the mechanism
- New sockets, lighting or wiring (your electrician)
- Plastering or decorating the room
If in doubt, you can use our contact form and describe the room before you arrange a visit. How it works.
Materials and parts

How we price wall beds
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- The width and height of the space
- The internal fittings
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, and that is part of the price. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design.
Helping us understand the room
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- How you want to use the space
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
For a quote for wall beds in Bromley Common, use our contact form. Let us know the room and the rough idea. We will arrange a design visit, then send a quote in writing.
Why people ask for wall beds in Bromley Common
Working from home has changed how many spare rooms are used. The room needs to be an office and still sleep guests, and a fold-down bed lets it do both.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- A flexible room for a growing family
- Storage built around a fold-down bed
- Room for a desk and a guest bed
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
If you live in a flat close to Bickley station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Will the quote be in writing?
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it’s fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Whatever the age of your home, the furniture is fitted to the walls you have, scribed where walls bow and levelled where floors slope. Spray-painted pieces arrive finished; hand-painted ones can be finished on site.
- You get in touch and describe the room.
- We visit to measure the room and the way in, from the front door to the room itself. Mention parking as well, since vans often need a permit or a paid bay.
- We send a written quote.
- The cabinet is made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, in sections sized for the route.
- We carry the sections in, assemble them and fix the mechanism as its maker specifies, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
