About our wall beds in Haverstock
Safety starts with the fixing: the mechanism is fixed as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that is sound enough to hold it. We check the wall and floor at the design visit as solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings. If your home has room for a desk and a guest bed and a playroom that can sleep visitors, wall beds made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
In houses built before 1919, a floor can drop noticeably from one side of a room to the other, and a large share of the homes around Haverstock are that old. Fitted furniture sits on a plinth or adjustable feet set level, so doors close square and the gaps stay even. The scribe at the wall takes up any bow in the plaster.
The furniture is made at our workshop after you have had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so you can check every detail beforehand.

Bedroom storage in Haverstock
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Haverstock were built before 1919 (about 46%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 23%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Near the centre of Haverstock, Historic England’s list includes Belsize Fire Station (Grade II*), under half a mile west, and Church of St Silas the Martyr (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can require listed building consent. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. About 46% of homes in the area around Haverstock were built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. A wall bed has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies, and in houses of that age the walls can be solid brick or lath and plaster, so the fixings are chosen with care.
Close to Primrose Hill? A bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls. For a family home near Fine Arts College, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else. For an older house near Church of St Mary the Virgin, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.

FAQs: wall beds in Haverstock
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Haverstock?
It can be: much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
I live near South Hampstead station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Camden and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can use our contact form with a few details about the room.
Do photos help?
Yes, they help. Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space, especially with rough measurements. To send them, message us from the contact page.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Electrical work is not something we do; it’s a job for your electrician. We can plan cable routes into the design, and any new sockets are best done before fitting day.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: 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.
What space does a fold-down bed take up?
The bed needs room in front of it to come down, on top of the cabinet’s own depth. We check the space when we measure and plan the layout around it.
Practical tips
New paint needs time to cure fully, so treat it gently at first. After that, a few simple habits help:
- Lower and lift the bed steadily
- Decide who the bed is mainly for
- Plan a cupboard for spare bedding
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
The mechanism maker’s guidance says how much bedding can stay on the bed when it folds away. Bulky duvets and pillows may need storing nearby.
If you know the wall’s construction, mention it. Solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard need different fixings, and we check it at the design visit too.
From workshop to your room
At the end, we tidy up and take up the floor coverings. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Parking on terraced streets can be tight, particularly in a controlled parking zone, so it is useful to tell us at the design visit what’s outside. Unloading is kept short, with sections taken straight inside. Saturdays are possible by arrangement.
- To begin, get in touch through our contact form; a brief note on the room and how often guests stay is plenty.
- We visit to measure up, look at the wall and floor and make sure there is clear space in front to lower the bed.
- You receive a quote in writing for the wall bed and any storage.
- The bed housing and any shelves or desk are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day the cabinet goes in, the mechanism is fixed securely and the bed is tried out.
- We go through the bed with you; the cabinet has the spray-painted or hand-painted finish you chose.
Before we arrive
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
Getting a quote
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote. To book one, drop us a line using the contact form.
Advice
How it is made
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting suits a cabinet you want to look crisp and is finished before it reaches you.
Hand-painted finish
Some people like the softer look of a hand-painted finish in a period room.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls at the measuring visit.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you contact us.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is normally cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is awkward, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
