Wall beds for your home in Greenhill
How we make wall beds for Greenhill
You need room in front of the cabinet to lower the bed, and that shapes the design. Furniture in front of the bed has to be easy to move or kept out of the way, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. Most enquiries start with hiding the bed when it’s not in use and a studio that works by day and night; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
Stud walls in newer homes can carry pipes and cables, so we check before fixing into them. Many homes around Greenhill date from 2000 onwards, so this check is routine. Heavy pieces are fixed into the studs or stand on the floor.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Questions we’re often asked
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Greenhill?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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 during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Do you cover homes near Harrow-on-the-Hill station?
Yes. We cover all of Harrow and the rest of London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Is a mattress included with the wall bed?
The mattress needs to suit the mechanism by size, depth and weight. We can talk you through what the mechanism allows, so the mattress you choose fits.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. Damp treatment is not something we do, so any damp needs sorting first.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two ways to finish it: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf units can leave gaps at the sides or top. We can build to the full height and width, with storage or shelves filling the rest of the wall. Rooms in newer homes are often compact, and standard depths can take too much floor, whereas fitted pieces can be as shallow as the space needs. It can still go to the ceiling.
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit.

Why people ask for wall beds in Greenhill
Some want a room that can change as the family does. We often hear from people who want a playroom or study that can still sleep guests without giving up the floor.
Some of the things we are asked to solve are these:
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A studio that works by day and night
- A real mattress for visitors
- Hiding the bed when it’s not in use
For an older house near Church of St John the Baptist, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Whether you’ll get a quote in writing, not just a figure
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
What it costs
What you pay depends on:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Spray painting or hand painting
- The overall size of the piece
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
What to send when you contact us
You do not need exact measurements or a plan. Just send what you can:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
To get a quote, fill in our short enquiry form and tell us which room you have in mind. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.
Bedrooms in Greenhill: local notes
In the area around Greenhill, the largest groups of homes date from the years since 2000 (about 45%) and before 1919 (about 22%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how wall beds are fixed and fitted. Near the centre of Greenhill, Historic England’s list includes Granada Cinema (Grade II), under half a mile south-east, and Church of St John the Baptist (Grade II), under half a mile south-east. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for instance removing original joinery or fixing into it, may need listed building consent from the council. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. More than a third of the homes in the neighbourhood around Greenhill (about 45%) were built since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board.
Headstone Manor, about 1.1 miles north-west, 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. If your children go to Saint Jerome Church of England Bilingual School or a school nearby, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

Fitting day, step by step
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. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Newer developments sometimes have their own parking and loading rules, so it helps to let us know at the measuring visit. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.

Flats, conversions and lettings
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so let us know about it at the design visit.
