Flats, blocks and rented homes
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways not just the room, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising at the measuring visit.
Wall beds in Hatch End: what you get
Our wall beds are made for homes in Hatch End 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. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days, so you will know beforehand. If you’re living with a storage wall with a bed inside and a hobby room with a bed for guests, that’s what wall beds are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
The front bedroom in many 1920s and 1930s houses sits above a bay, which leaves the side walls for storage and the bay for light. Interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a big part of the housing around Hatch End, so that shape of room is worth knowing. Every wall is measured, as a room that looks square rarely is.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we’ll tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Wall beds in Hatch End: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Hatch End, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 38%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 28%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. There are 15 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Hatch End. You can check whether a particular building is listed on Historic England’s list. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Harrow is no exception. If your road in Hatch End falls in a zone, the van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay, which the council arranges, often with notice. We ask about parking during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
For a family home near Pinner Park Primary School, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller. If you live in a flat close to Hatch End station, it’s useful to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day.
Hatch End is part of the London Borough of Harrow, about 2 miles south-east of Harrow. We cover Hatch End as part of our work across Harrow. Hatch End is one of 20 places on our list for Harrow.
In HA5, HA2 and HA3, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. We cover homes on streets like Love Lane, Moss Lane and Tudor Road, along with the roads around them, whether you want wall beds or another piece made for the room. We also cover Headstone (1 mile east), Harrow Weald (2 miles east) and Belmont (2 miles east). Across the rest of Harrow, our area takes in Harrow (2 miles south-east), Stanmore (3 miles east), Wealdstone (2 miles east), Little Stanmore (4 miles east), Greenhill (2 miles south-east) and South Harrow (3 miles south). Hatch End is among the bigger places we cover in Harrow.
Near you in Hatch End
We fit furniture in homes around Nower Hill High School and The Moon & Sixpence pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Hatch End station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find St. George's Shopping Centre (2 miles south-east) and Heath Robinson Museum (0.8 miles south-west).
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
What it costs
Not every room costs the same, for these reasons:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The number of doors and drawers
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.
Helping us understand the room
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. It’s useful to include:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
Getting a quote starts with some details: the room, rough sizes and some pictures if you have them. When you’re ready, get in touch through our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a quote in writing.

At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know at the measuring visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.

Advice
Do you need wall beds in Hatch End?
Studio flats and small one-bedroom flats are another reason. A bed that folds up gives you a living room in the day and a bedroom at night.
Here are some of the needs we’re asked about most:
- A living room with a bed that folds away
- A study that doubles as a spare room
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like East End Farm Cottage, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
Choosing a carpenter
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
Common questions about wall beds
I live near Hatch End station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Harrow and the rest of London. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Do you make wall beds for homes in Hatch End?
Yes, Hatch End is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Harrow and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You do. The paint colour is agreed with you.
How much does a wall bed cost?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. For a design visit, drop us a line using the contact form.
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.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
