Fitting day, step by step
You will not need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it helps to have the room cleared beforehand, as agreed during the design visit. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It helps to clear the room and the route before we arrive. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. The pieces are levelled, fitted to the walls and fixed back.
- You get in touch and tell us about the room and the wall where the bed could go.
- 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 written quote 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.
- We fit the cabinet in your home and fix the mechanism as its maker specifies.
- Before we leave we show you how to lower and lift the bed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are

Advice
Wall beds for homes in Brunswick Park
A home office that doubles as a guest room is a common request. A wall bed with a desk or shelves beside it lets the room do both, so the bed doesn’t dominate the working day. Cable routes for the desk can be planned in, though any new sockets are for your electrician. We make wall beds from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are hiding the bed when it’s not in use and a home office that also sleeps guests.
The front bedroom in many 1920s and 1930s houses sits above a bay, which leaves the side walls for storage and the bay for light. Interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing around Brunswick Park, so it’s a room shape worth planning for. We measure every wall, even where the room looks square.
The quote comes in writing, so there’s time to read it properly and talk it over at home. It covers the design, materials and finish agreed at the visit.

Your questions about wall beds in Brunswick Park
Is parking a problem for fitting in Brunswick Park?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit.
Do you make wall beds for homes in Brunswick Park?
Yes. Brunswick Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details.
Do you supply the mattress?
The mechanism maker sets limits on mattress size and weight. We will explain its limits at the measuring visit, so you can choose with confidence.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you.
How much does a wall bed cost?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. A single bed cabinet and a full wall with shelves and a desk are very different jobs, so we quote once we have seen the room. To get started, use our contact form.
How much space does a wall bed need?
The bed needs room in front of it to come down, as well as the depth of the cabinet itself. We measure this during the design visit and plan the layout around it.
Could you do it yourself?
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that aren’t square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
Flats, conversions and lettings
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so tell us about it at the design visit.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Brunswick Park
About 60% of the homes in the area around Brunswick Park went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 13% between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how wall beds are fixed and fitted. The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London since it reached the outer boroughs on 29 August 2023. Vans bringing furniture to Brunswick Park fall under it, just as they do across the rest of London. We plan parking and access with you during the design visit. 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. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
Close to Friary Park? Wall beds are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. If your children go to St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School or a school nearby, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. If you live in a period home close to Oakleigh Community Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.

Looking after your furniture
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Keep children away while the bed moves
- Leaseholders: check your lease first
- Check mattress size and weight limits
Follow the mechanism maker’s guidance each time you lower and lift the bed. Lower it steadily and keep the space in front clear, and do not let children play with it.
Think about who will sleep in the bed and how often. That helps decide its size and the mechanism as well as the storage around it.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, rather than a quick order. In return, the cabinet, shelves and finish are designed together. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, so standalone furniture can still lean or leave gaps. Built-in pieces are adjusted to the room on site.
There is no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To arrange a design visit, use our contact form.
