Wall beds in Fortis Green
A wall bed, sometimes called a Murphy bed, lifts up into a cabinet during the day 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 build the cabinet around the bed to suit the room and paint it in a colour you choose. Most enquiries start with a bed that looks like cupboards by day and a guest room that sits empty most of the time, and the answer is made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Ceilings in homes built before 1919 are often tall, and a large share of homes around Fortis Green are that old. That height can be used, with fitted furniture taken up to the cornice and top cupboards for occasional things. Original mouldings are worked around rather than removed.

Bed mechanism housing
We build the housing to suit the mechanism, fixed securely as its maker specifies. The front can look like a set of cupboards.
Hand-painted finish
Some people like the softer look of a hand-painted finish that suits older homes.
From workshop to your room
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and explain how to look after the paint. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Original hallway tiles and old floorboards are worth protecting, so they’re covered before anything comes in. Fixings into older walls are made carefully, as lath and plaster can crack if treated roughly. Any decorating around the new pieces is for your decorator.
- You tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and go through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- A quote in writing follows.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wall bed is fitted, and any hand painting is done on site. New paint needs gentle use while it cures.
Preparing the room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Empty the space we’ll be working in
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Arranging a design visit
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Questions we’re often asked
Is Fortis Green in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, Fortis Green is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Haringey and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Do you cover homes near Alexandra Palace station?
Yes, homes across Haringey and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with some details about the room.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
Uneven walls are normal in older London homes, and the furniture is made to deal with them. Edges are scribed to the wall, and adjustable feet or a plinth bring the furniture up to level.
Who chooses the colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you, and it’s set out in the quote.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. We’re carpenters, so electrical work is for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design, and new sockets should be in place before fitting day.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
How we price wall beds
To work out the quote, we look at:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking and unloading on your street
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
Before the design visit
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It is useful to include:
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- How you want to use the space
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of photos if you can take them. To send them, tell us about the room on our contact form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Is bespoke worth it?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, rather than a quick order. In return, the cabinet, shelves and finish are designed together. Chimney breasts in older houses stand out by different amounts, so the recesses either side are rarely the same, which means a matching pair of ready-made units seldom fits both. Fitted furniture is made to each one separately.
We don’t publish set prices, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote. To start, get in touch through our contact form.
What you get with us
- Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood
- Made for your room, not a standard size
- More than 300 projects completed

Fitted bedroom furniture in Fortis Green
About 56% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Fortis Green went up before 1919, and about 21% between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Near the centre of Fortis Green, Historic England’s list includes Odeon Cinema (Grade II*), less than half a mile south-east, and St James's Church Hall (Grade II), under half a mile south-east. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. The council’s conservation officer is the person to ask before work starts. Strict stopping rules apply on red routes, which TfL runs. If your street in Fortis Green joins a main road, it is worth telling us at the design visit. That way we can plan where to load and unload.
If you live in a period home close to United Reformed Church, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. For a flat near Alexandra Palace station, the lift, the stair turns and the front door all set the largest piece that can come in. For a family home near Fortismere School, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.
