Hornchurch Marshes Wall Beds
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make wall beds for homes in Hornchurch Marshes, each designed at a visit to your home.
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A living room with a bed that folds away
Wall beds designed for your room
How it’s made
Bed mechanism housing
We build the housing to suit the mechanism and fix it as the maker specifies. When the bed is up, the front looks like cupboard doors.
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish can be done on site, once it is fitted. It’s easy to touch up later.
About our wall beds in Hornchurch Marshes
The cabinet is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. From the front, the folded bed can look like a set of tall cupboards, so the room does not read as a bedroom by day. Most enquiries start with a bed that fills a little-used room and a home office that also sleeps guests, and the answer is made in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Many homes around Hornchurch Marshes were built since 2000, and newer homes rarely have enough built-in storage for a bedroom. 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.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both, depending on the design. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

Tips worth knowing
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. These are worth keeping in mind:
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Decide who the bed is mainly for
Whether bedding can stay on the bed when it folds up depends on the mechanism. Bulky duvets and pillows may need storing nearby.
Tell us what the wall is made of if you know. The fixing depends on the wall, and we check it during the design visit too.
Flats, leases and landlords
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so let us know about it at the measuring visit.
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 get in touch.
How fitting works for wall beds
You will not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in, and it’s useful to have the room cleared beforehand, as agreed at the measuring visit. 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 your quote sets out the fitting days. Newer blocks often have concierge desks, entry systems and rules on lift booking, so it is useful to sort them out beforehand. The furniture is built in sections that fit the lift and doorways.
- You let us know about the room and who the bed is for.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor.
- We send a written quote for the bed cabinet and storage, ready to check.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies. We show you how the bed works before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
Arranging a design visit
The design visit is where every quote starts. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit. To book one, send us a few details through our contact form.
Advice
The problems wall beds solve
Most people come to us with a guest room that sits empty most of the year. A standard bed takes up the floor all the time, and folding it away gives the room a second life.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- A real mattress for visitors
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- More floor space in a studio flat
The wider area includes historic houses like Rainham Hall, about 1.1 miles east. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.

Your questions about wall beds in Hornchurch Marshes
Is parking a problem for fitting in Hornchurch Marshes?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit, and we’ll plan around it.
Can you make wall beds for a home in Hornchurch Marshes?
Yes. Hornchurch Marshes is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Havering and London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two choices: 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.
How are wall beds priced?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. To arrange a design visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How much time does fitting need?
Every room is different. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You do not need to watch us work, but it helps to be around at the end.

About 43% of the homes in the streets around Hornchurch Marshes went up since 2000, and about 34% between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Red routes are run by TfL, with tight limits on where and when vehicles can stop. If your home is on or just off a main road, it helps to mention it. That way we can plan where to load and unload. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Havering sets its own rules. Where a street in Hornchurch Marshes is controlled, a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension from the council. We ask about parking at the measuring visit, and we’ll plan around it.
