Wall beds in Chingford Hatch: what you get
We build the bed housing from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray painted in our workshop or hand painted. Doors on the front can look like a run of cupboards, so the room doesn’t read as a bedroom by day. Most enquiries start with a playroom that can sleep visitors and a living room with a bed that folds away, and the answer is built in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. A big part of the housing around Chingford Hatch is interwar, semi-detached or detached. Our part starts once the loft has been converted, with each piece scribed to the slope and set level.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made in our workshop. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so every detail can be checked first.

What affects the price in Chingford Hatch
The price for your room depends on:
- How square the room is
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Before the design visit
To help us picture the room, please include:
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a quote for wall beds in Chingford Hatch, fill in our short enquiry form. Let us know the room and the rough idea, with sizes if you have them. Next comes a design visit, followed by a written quote.
How it’s made
Hand-painted finish
If you’d like the bed to match the skirting or doors, hand painting works well.
Bed mechanism housing
A wall bed housing needs to be rigid and true, so we build it with care. It’s fixed into a wall or floor that can take the load.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you get in touch.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through.
What happens on fitting day
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. 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. The main stairs in houses of that age are typically straighter. Each section is assembled and fixed in the room.
- You tell us about the room and who the bed is for. The bed can sit among shelves or beside a desk.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- We send a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and storage, ready to check.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts.
How to prepare
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
Getting a quote
Every quote follows a design visit. At the visit, we measure, look at the walls and floors and discuss the design with you, then send a written quote. There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. To book a design visit, get in touch through our contact form.

FAQs: wall beds in Chingford Hatch
Can you make wall beds for a home in Chingford Hatch?
Yes, we work across Waltham Forest, Chingford Hatch included, and across the rest of London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Chingford Hatch?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It’s something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes. Shelves, cupboards or a desk can go around the bed cabinet, so the whole wall is useful. The design keeps clear space in front for the bed to fold down.
How are wall beds priced?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. A single bed cabinet and a full wall with shelves and a desk are very different jobs, so we price it after measuring. To arrange a visit, message us from the contact page.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
We need access, so someone has to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
Honest limits
We do not treat damp or carry out building work, so these points are worth knowing:

It applies to every van that comes to fit furniture in Chingford Hatch. How the van gets to your door is planned during the design visit.
Close to The Highams Park? Keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. If you live in a period home close to All Saints Church of England Highams Park, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design. For families living near Longshaw Primary School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.
