About our wall beds in Hadley Wood
In a studio flat, a wall bed can make the main room feel much larger. During the day, the room is somewhere to sit, work and eat; at night, the bed comes down. We can build shelves, cupboards or a desk around the bed cabinet, so the whole wall works hard. If you’re living with a flexible room for a growing family and somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep, that’s what wall beds are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Wide windows with a radiator below are common in homes from the 1950s and 1960s, so storage normally goes on the walls beside or opposite. Many homes around Hadley Wood were built in the post-war decades, so we expect to plan around a radiator. Nothing is built tight over the radiator, so it keeps heating the room.
The furniture is built in our workshop after you’ve had the quote and decided to go ahead. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

How we price wall beds
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. This is what makes the difference:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Parking near your home
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Spray painting or hand painting
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
Before the design visit
A little information at the start saves time later. Where you can, include:
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Approximate measurements of the space
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
To get a quote for wall beds in Hadley Wood, fill in our short enquiry form. Tell us which room it is and roughly what you have in mind, with sizes if you have them. Next comes a design visit, followed by a written quote.

Fitting day, step by step
There is not much for you to do on fitting day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Parking near post-war estates can depend on residents’ bays and estate rules, so let us know what applies at the design visit. On the day, the sections are carried in, assembled and fixed. 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. We also check there is clear space in front to lower the bed.
- You get a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and any storage around it.
- The cabinets are made in our workshop.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly.
Before fitting day
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
Starting with a design visit
The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing. To arrange the visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Questions from Hadley Wood
My home in Hadley Wood is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. Wall beds are made at our workshop in sections sized to fit that route, then assembled in your flat. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
I live near Hadley Wood station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Enfield and the rest of London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can I send photos before the visit?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough sizes. It is useful to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Walls and floors that are not true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
What does a wall bed cost?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. A single bed cabinet and a full wall with shelves and a desk are very different jobs, so we price it after measuring. To get started, message us from the contact page.
Do I get to choose the colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you before anything is painted.
Wall beds for homes in Hadley Wood
In the neighbourhood around Hadley Wood, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 31%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 25%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Hadley Wood is in a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. The council can confirm if you’re not sure. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Enfield sets its own rules. Depending on your street in Hadley Wood, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. It helps to let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
If your children go to Livingstone Primary and Nursery School or a school nearby, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller. Near listed buildings like Camlet House, less than half a mile north-east of the centre of Hadley Wood, older homes may keep original joinery that wall beds can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. If your home is one of the older houses near St Paul's Church, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.

Before and after fitting day
Getting the most from wall beds starts with the planning and carries on after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- Check mattress size and weight limits
- Let us know what the wall is made of if you know
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched up. A spray finish wipes clean and stays smooth and even.
If you live in a leasehold flat, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. We cannot advise on your lease.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf.
