Bedrooms in Edgware: local notes
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Edgware were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 58%) and since 2000 (about 17%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That matters for wall beds, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Near the centre of Edgware, Historic England’s list includes John Keble Church (Grade II), about 0.5 miles south-east. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for instance removing original joinery or fixing into it, can require listed building consent from the council. Check with the council’s conservation officer first. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Barnet is no exception. Where a street in Edgware is controlled, a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension from the council. Let us know about parking during the design visit.
Close to Stoneyfields Park? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. If you live in a period home close to St Andrew, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.

Wall beds in Edgware: what you get
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that is sound enough to hold it. At the design visit we look at the wall it will go on as solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings. People normally come to us about a hobby room with a bed for guests and a storage wall with a bed inside, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Edgware, the third bedroom is often small, sitting over the stairs. Small rooms like that suit wall beds, whether the room is a guest room, a dressing room or a study. Nothing is assumed: the room is measured wall by wall.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we have talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Other services in Edgware
Flats, leases and landlords
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, once we have measured the way in.
If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We can’t give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
How fitting day works
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and answer any questions. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturdays can be arranged.
- We start with what the room is for, day and night.
- We visit, measure up and check the wall the bed will fix to.
- You get a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and any storage around it.
- The bed cabinet and any shelves or desk are made in our workshop.
- The bed and cabinets are fitted in your home and the mechanism fixed securely.
Before fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to get a quote
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, drop us a line using the contact form.

When is bespoke worth it?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can use the full height and width.
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is quick to buy.
Pricing wall beds in Edgware
There is no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Parking near your home
- Awkward walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size is the starting point. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Getting in touch
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:
- How you want to use the space
- Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Any ideas or images you have saved
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and discuss the design with you. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To book one, tell us about the room on our contact form.
Common questions about wall beds
Is Edgware in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, we work across Barnet, Edgware included, and across the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with some details.
I live near Mill Hill Broadway station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Barnet and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can fill in our short enquiry form with a few details about the room.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out, and you keep the space in front clear and children away while it moves.
Is a mattress included with the wall bed?
The mattress needs to suit the mechanism by size, depth and weight. We will go through those limits during the design visit so you can choose one that works.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
My walls are not straight. Is that a problem?
That’s normal in older homes, and it’s what scribing is for. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Is it time for wall beds?
Some people are tired of sofa beds. A wall bed takes a proper mattress, chosen to suit its mechanism, and the bed sits flat on its frame.
Here are some of the needs we are asked about most:
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
- A studio that works by day and night
- Storage built around a fold-down bed
