Wall beds in Clare Market
From workshop to your room
Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it is going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, especially in a controlled parking zone, so it’s useful to tell us at the measuring visit what’s outside. Unloading is kept short, with sections taken straight inside. Saturdays are possible by arrangement.
- We start with how the room is used and who’ll sleep there.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
Starting with a design visit
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, particularly with rough measurements. To send them over, use our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Advice
About our wall beds in Clare Market
A wall bed folds up into a fitted cabinet when you do not need it and is lowered again at night. It lets one room do two jobs, so a guest room can double as a study or playroom. We make the cabinet for your room and paint it in a colour you choose. Typical reasons to get in touch are a living room with a bed that folds away and hiding the bed when it’s not in use; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
In streets where many homes were built before 1919, as they were around Clare Market, lots of bedrooms have solid brick external walls. Cold external walls can lead to condensation, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture is part of the design. Small back bedrooms and box rooms are common too, and they suit wall beds and other fitted storage well.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that’s spray painting or hand painting.

What affects the cost of wall beds
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. The things that affect it are:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. A larger piece means more material and more time, so size is the starting point. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Helping us understand the room
A little information at the start saves time later. If you can, send:
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
To make a start, send us a few details through our contact form and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
What wall beds cannot fix
Before you plan the job, it is useful to know what we don’t do:
- Wiring for lights or chargers
- Building work to make a wall sound
- Plastering or decorating the room
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can tell us about the room on our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. How it works.
What goes into it
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
- Spray-painted finish
- Fold-down bed mechanism
- Hand-painted finish
- Shelves or a desk alongside
Clare Market homes and wall beds
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Clare Market were built before 1919 (about 48%) and since 2000 (about 22%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. 34 conservation areas have at least part of their area less than a mile from the middle of Clare Market. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings. Controlled parking zones cover much of inner London, and each borough runs its own. A van working in Clare Market will usually need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension arranged through the council, which often needs notice. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit.
If you live near Lincoln's Inn Fields, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. For a flat near London Charing Cross station, the route in is measured along with the room itself, and the sections are sized to fit it. For an older house near Enon Chapel, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
Clare Market is part of the City of Westminster, about 2 miles west of City of Westminster. Design visits and fitting in Clare Market can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. Our Westminster coverage includes Clare Market.
Postcode districts we cover here for wall beds: WC2H, W1D and WC2B. You will find streets here like Drury Lane, New Square and Old Square, and we cover homes on all of them for wall beds. Clare Market sits close to the A4 and A301, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. We also cover Aldwych (1 mile south), Temple Bar (1 mile east), Covent Garden (1 mile south-west), Temple (1 mile south-east) and Seven Dials (1 mile west). Other parts of Westminster we cover include City of Westminster (2 miles west), Victoria (2 miles south-west), Paddington Green (3 miles west), Paddington (2 miles west), Connaught Village (2 miles west) and Belgravia (2 miles south-west).
Near you in Clare Market
Our area takes in the homes around Mercers' School, Ye Old White Horse pub and LSE Shaw Library, among other places. The closest station to Clare Market is London Charing Cross station, roughly 0.6 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Hunterian Museum (less than half a mile north-east) and Gabriel's Wharf (0.6 miles south-east). For a walk, there is St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, rather than a quick order. What you get is one design that suits the room and the way you use it. Alcoves and recesses in period houses are rarely a standard width or depth, so off-the-shelf pieces either don’t fit or leave a gap either side. Furniture made for the space fills it.
How it is painted is part of the price: 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.

Common questions about wall beds
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Clare Market?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by 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’s useful to let us know about parking at the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Can you make wall beds for a home in Clare Market?
Yes. Clare Market is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Westminster and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you contact us.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design.
How much does a wall bed cost?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. 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, message us from the contact page.
Is a wall bed safe?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
Looking after your furniture
People planning wall beds often ask about these. They help before and after fitting:
- Check mattress size and weight limits
- Decide who the bed is mainly for
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
- Leaseholders: check your lease first
If the bed ever feels different when you lower or lift it, stop using it and get in touch. Don’t try to adjust the mechanism yourself unless its maker says you can.
Think about the route into the room. Furniture made in a workshop comes in sections sized for stairs, landings and lifts, so tell us about narrow stairs or a small lift.
