How we make wall beds for Kingston upon Thames
The mattress has to suit the mechanism; the mechanism maker sets the size, depth and weight it can take. We will talk through what suits the bed during the design visit, so you can choose a mattress that works. Typical reasons to get in touch are a proper bed instead of a sofa bed and a hobby room with a bed for guests; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
If your bedroom is in a period house, expect uneven walls and tall ceilings; in a newer flat, expect plasterboard and a lower ceiling. Your home in Kingston upon Thames could be either, or something in between. Each is measured and fitted in its own way. Ceiling height sets how tall the furniture can go.
The quote names the materials: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. The finish is stated too, whether that is spray painting or hand painting.

How fitting day works
You’re welcome to ask questions while we work. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so the day itself is about careful fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Parking varies a lot across London, from permit zones to private bays, so let us know what applies at the measuring visit. For a flat, building rules on lifts and working hours are worth checking.

About wall beds
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it’s easy to buy.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
Questions from Kingston upon Thames
My home in Kingston upon Thames is a flat. How do you get the furniture in?
At the design visit, we measure the way in as well as the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it’s worth checking those early.
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Kingston station?
Yes, homes across London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
We check that at the design visit. Solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings, and the mechanism maker’s instructions set what’s needed.
Do you supply the mattress?
The mechanism maker sets which mattresses suit the bed by size, depth and weight. We’ll go through those limits during the design visit so you can choose one that works.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We will design around them.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
You can choose between two finishes: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall, after checking the walls at the design visit.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on leases.
Wall beds for homes in Kingston upon Thames
In the neighbourhood around Kingston upon Thames, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 36%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 21%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account at the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. The National Heritage List has 59 entries within half a mile of the centre of Kingston upon Thames. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and wall beds can be designed to work around them. Around Kingston upon Thames, about 36% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for the rest of London as a whole, about 21%, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. That makes period details like uneven walls, alcoves and picture rails more likely to shape the design.
If you live near Canbury Gardens, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of All Saints, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.

The problems wall beds solve
The most common reason is a spare room that is rarely slept in. A standard bed takes up the floor all the time, and a wall bed lets the room be used every day.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A flexible room for a growing family
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
For families living near St Luke's CofE Primary School, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Will other trades be needed, and who arranges them?
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- How parking will work on your street
- Whether the quote says what the furniture is made from
What affects the price in Kingston upon Thames
Several things affect the price:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- How easy it is to get the furniture into the room
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit. After that, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish all play a part.
Before the design visit
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- Examples of the look you are after
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that’s fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, get in touch through our contact form.
