Wall beds in Elm Park, Havering
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make wall beds for homes in Elm Park, each designed at a visit to your home.
- A study that doubles as a spare room
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
Wall beds designed for your room
From workshop to your room
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly, then checked again. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. It helps to clear the room and the route before we arrive. On the day, we cover the floors first, then bring the sections in. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- You let us know 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.
- The bed housing and any shelves are made in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies. We show you how the bed works before we leave.
Preparing the room
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area

It helps to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, along with rough sizes. To share them, get in touch through our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.

Wall beds in Elm Park: what you get
A wall bed folds up into a fitted cabinet when you do not need it and comes down when it’s time to sleep. It means a room can work as more than a bedroom, 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 home office that also sleeps guests and a proper bed instead of a sofa bed; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
A loft conversion is a common way to add a bedroom to a semi or an interwar house, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. A big part of the housing around Elm Park 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.
Everything we agree at the measuring visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

Boards, parts and paint
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which suits parts that carry load. The edge can be left on show or painted.
Shelves
Shelves can go above or beside the bed cabinet to make use of the whole wall.
Bespoke wall beds or ready-made?
A wall bed is fixed to the house, so it stays when you move. It’s worth thinking about how long you plan to stay before you decide. Ready-made units come in standard depths that rarely suit every space, so they can stick out too far or waste space behind. With fitted furniture, the depth is chosen for the room.
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

FAQs: wall beds in Elm Park
Do you make wall beds for homes in Elm Park?
Yes. Elm Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Havering and London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Elm Park?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It helps to tell us about parking at the design visit.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
What if my walls and floors are out of level?
It is something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so there are no gaps at the sides.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
Safety depends on a secure fixing and sensible use. We fix the mechanism as its maker specifies; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes. We often design the bed as part of a wider storage wall with shelves or a desk beside it. We plan it so the bed still has room to come down.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Elm Park
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Elm Park were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 49%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 25%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. More than a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around Elm Park (about 49%) date from between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 58% of households in the streets around Elm Park live in detached or semi-detached houses, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
Rainham Hall, about 2.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. If your own home is a period one, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. If your children go to Elm Park Primary School or a school nearby, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.

Is it time for wall beds?
Others want the bed to be part of a wider storage wall. Shelves, cupboards or a desk built around it make the whole wall useful.
Some of the things we’re asked to solve are these:
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
- A studio that works by day and night
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
If you live near Harrow Lodge Park, morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window.
