Wall beds designed for your room
Do you need wall beds in Croydon?
In a studio or a small flat, every bit of floor counts. A bed that folds up gives you a living room in the day and a bedroom at night.
Most of the enquiries we get are about needs like these:
- More floor space in a studio flat
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A study that doubles as a spare room
Addington Palace, about 2.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.

- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
About our wall beds in Croydon
Many spare rooms are only just big enough for a bed, and a bed that’s 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. We make wall beds from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the things people most often want solved are room for a desk and a guest bed and more floor space in a studio flat.
Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 sometimes have big windows that take up much of a wall, which leaves fewer walls for storage. Many homes around Croydon were built since 2000, so we make the most of the walls you have. Corners are designed in rather than left as dead space.
Once you have read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is built in our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Honest limits
As carpenters, we leave some work to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:
- Making good the walls after other work
- Choosing a mattress for you
- Building work to make a wall sound
If you’re not sure what’s possible in your room, you can send us a few details through our contact form and we will give you a straight answer. How a job runs, step by step.
What goes into it
- Spray-painted finish
- Fold-down bed mechanism
- Hand-painted finish
- Shelves or a desk alongside
- Birch plywood
- Moisture-resistant MDF
What it’s made from
Spray-painted finish
We spray paint in the workshop for a smooth, factory-like finish.
Shelves
Shelves can go above or beside the bed cabinet to make use of the whole wall.
What it costs
To work out the quote, we look at:
- The number of doors and drawers
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Where a van can park, such as a permit bay or a bay suspension
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
Getting in touch
To give us a picture of the room, it is useful to include:
- Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, use our contact form with a few details about the room. You receive a quote in writing after the visit.

Bedroom storage in Croydon
About 36% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Croydon went up since 2000, and about 28% before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. There are 29 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Croydon. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. About 36% of homes in the neighbourhood around Croydon were built since 2000, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted pieces use the full height and are fixed into the studs.
For a flat near South Croydon station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. For an older house near St Andrew's, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.
Croydon is about 2 miles north of Thornton Heath, part of the London Borough of Croydon. From period terraces to newer flats in Croydon, we measure the room as it is and design around it. Our work takes in places right across the rest of London, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
We work across the CR0, CR2, CR9 and CR8 postcode area. You will find streets here such as High Street, Church Road and Ruskin Square, and we cover homes on all of them for wall beds. The A235 and B243 runs close to Croydon; on busy main roads, unloading wall beds takes a little planning. Other places close to Croydon include South Croydon (1 mile south), Coombe (1 mile east), Addiscombe (2 miles north-east), Ashburton (2 miles north-east) and Woodside (2 miles north-east). Other parts of the rest of London we cover include Thornton Heath (2 miles north), Coulsdon (4 miles south-west), Purley (2 miles south-west), Upper Norwood (4 miles north), Selhurst (2 miles north) and South Norwood (2 miles north).
Landmarks near Croydon
The streets we cover here include those near Rutherford School, Keg & Grill pub and Cambridge Tutors College, among other places. There’s a railway station in Croydon itself: South Croydon station. A little further out are St George's Walk (less than half a mile north) and Croydon University Hospital (1.7 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Duppas Hill.
Fitting day, step by step
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared, as we’ll have talked about at the design visit. After that, it’s over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Newer homes often have stud walls, so fixings go into the studs or use fixings made for the board. Floors are covered while we work, and dust is kept to a minimum.
- First, you tell us about the room and how you’d like it to work.
- We come to measure, look at the wall and floor, and go through the layout with you.
- You get a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and any storage around it.
- We build and finish the bed housing and storage in our workshop.
- The bed and cabinets are fitted in your home and the mechanism fixed securely. The finish is sprayed in our workshop or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know

Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, fill in our short enquiry form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a quote in writing.

FAQs: wall beds in Croydon
Do you make wall beds for homes in Croydon?
Yes. We cover the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Croydon?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to let us know about parking at the design visit.
How much space does a wall bed need?
That depends on the size of the bed. At the design visit we measure the room and check there’s enough space in front.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the design. 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, so you’ll know before we start.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We’ll design around them.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
We plan the route in at the measuring visit. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doors, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
