Wall beds in Grahame Park: what you get
Our wall beds are made for homes in Grahame Park and all over London. It starts with a design visit to measure the room and check the wall, then a quote in writing. The cabinets are made in our workshop and fitted in your home. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote, so you’ll know ahead of time. If you’re living with a bed that looks like cupboards by day and storage built around a fold-down bed, wall beds made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
Many homes around Grahame Park were built since 2000, and a newer bedroom seldom comes with storage that fits how you live. We design wall beds around the window, the radiator and the door, so the room still works. Where the flat is in a managed block, check the rules on deliveries and lifts before fitting day.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. You’ll see what will be made, the boards used and the finish.

Pricing wall beds in Grahame Park
Several things affect the price:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- The internal fittings
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, which the quote allows for. Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit.
Before the design visit
A few details help us understand the job before we visit. It is useful to include:
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Where you live, with the postcode
- What the furniture needs to hold
It’s useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space. To send them over, message us from the contact page, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
Honest limits
As carpenters, we leave some work to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:

Do you need wall beds in Grahame Park?
Studio flats and small one-bedroom flats are another reason. With the bed away, the main room is a living space again until bedtime.
Some of the things we’re asked to solve are these:
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
- A flexible room for a growing family
- A studio that works by day and night
For families living near St James' Catholic High School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.

How fitting works for wall beds
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. The design, materials and finish were settled before anything was made, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully. How long the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Newer developments sometimes have their own parking and loading rules, so let us know what applies at the measuring visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by arrangement.

- At the design visit we agree the layout and the colour.
- A written quote follows.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.

Flats, conversions and lettings
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, which is worth sorting early. We cannot advise on your lease, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
In a managed block, the building manager or concierge may need notice before we arrive. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you contact us.

Questions we are often asked
Is Grahame Park in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes. Grahame Park is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Barnet and London. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details.
How do you fit wall beds in a flat in Grahame Park?
At the design visit, we measure the way in not just the room. Wall beds are made in our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
It depends on the wall and floor. The mechanism must be fixed to a sound wall or floor, as its maker specifies, and we look at this when we measure.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. Show anything the furniture has to work around, such as radiators or sockets.
How are wall beds priced?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. For a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
