Wall beds designed for your room
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
A standard bed is simple and needs no mechanism, which is a fair point in its favour. But if the room has other jobs to do, a wall bed lets it do them day after day. Walls in interwar houses are straighter than in older ones, but rarely perfect, and standalone units can lean or gap. Built-in pieces are adjusted to the room on site.
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. We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit.

About our wall beds in Kingston Vale
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that’s sound enough to hold it. At the design visit we look at the wall it will go on as solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings. If your home has a guest bed that disappears in the day and a real mattress for visitors, wall beds made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted can solve it.
The front bedroom in many 1920s and 1930s houses sits above a bay, so fitted storage normally goes on the walls either side while the bay stays open. Around Kingston Vale, a big part of the housing is interwar, semi-detached or detached, so that shape of room is worth knowing. We measure every wall, even where the room looks square.

Fitting day, step by step
Getting everything level comes first. Where the floor slopes, we bring the furniture up to level on adjustable feet or a plinth, which keeps the lines straight. Only then is it fixed to the wall, with fixings chosen to suit brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. In a 1920s or 1930s house, the hall and stairs are usually simple, but the route in is still measured, not just the room. Wall beds arrive in sections and are assembled in place, with floors protected throughout.
- It starts with a short note from you.
- We come to measure and talk through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- You receive a quote in writing covering the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly.
Preparing the room
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician ahead of time

Your questions about wall beds in Kingston Vale
Do you cover homes near Raynes Park station?
Yes, homes across Merton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Kingston Vale?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps to avoid condensation. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
A wall bed is designed to be used regularly when fixed and used as its maker specifies. We fix the mechanism securely to a sound wall or floor, and you should follow the maker’s guidance on lowering and lifting it.
How much does a wall bed cost?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. 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, send us a few details through our contact form.
How much space does a wall bed need?
That depends on the size of the bed. At the design visit we measure the room and check there is enough space in front.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations. We cannot advise on your lease.
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, which we check during the design visit.
Tips worth knowing
These points come up often when people plan wall beds. They help before and after fitting:
- Plan a cupboard for spare bedding
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
- Let us know about the wall’s construction
- Think about how often the bed will be used
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched up. Spray-painted finishes clean easily with a soft cloth and keep their smooth look.
Let us know what the wall is made of if you know. Solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard need different fixings, and we look at it when we measure.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Kingston Vale
About 45% of the homes in the area around Kingston Vale went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 24% between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. We take that into account during the design visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Kingston Vale include Dorich House (Grade II), about 0.6 miles north-west. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features such as panelling can need listed building consent. It is worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. All of London, Merton included, is inside the ULEZ. So any van that delivers or fits furniture in Kingston Vale is covered by it. We go through parking and access during the design visit.
Southside House, about 1.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design. If you live in a period home close to St John the Baptist, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. For a flat near Raynes Park station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
