Wall beds in New Addington
You need room in front of the cabinet to lower the bed, and that shapes the design. We think about where a chair, rug or desk will go, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. If your home has a playroom that can sleep visitors and hiding the bed when it’s not in use, that’s what wall beds are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A bedroom in a 1950s or 1960s home is typically a simple rectangle, often with the window on the outside wall and the door near a corner. Around New Addington, many homes were built in the post-war decades, which often means a whole wall of fitted furniture with few awkward cuts. The space in front is planned first, so doors open fully.
We write quotes in plain English. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, all taken from the design visit.

About 78% of homes in the neighbourhood around New Addington were built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, fixed to suit the wall. Parking controls in London are set borough by borough, so Croydon has its own. If your road in New Addington 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. It’s useful to tell us about parking at the design visit.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Addington Palace, about 1.5 miles north-west. 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 near Addington Vale, a bedroom facing the green is best kept light, with the furniture on the side walls.

Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.

Common questions about wall beds
Do you cover homes near Hayes (Kent) station?
Yes. We cover all of Croydon and the rest of London. You can tell us about the room on our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Do you make wall beds for homes in New Addington?
Yes. We cover all of Croydon and the rest of London, and New Addington is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
How much time does fitting need?
The time the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes. Shelves, cupboards or a desk can go around the bed cabinet with shelves or a desk beside it. The design keeps clear space in front for the bed to fold down.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
How it’s made
Moisture-resistant MDF
We use moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels for a clean, even look.
Shelves
Shelves can go above or beside the bed cabinet for books, boxes or display.
The problems wall beds solve
In a studio or a small flat, every bit of floor counts. With the bed away, the main room is a living space again until bedtime.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
- Storage built around a fold-down bed
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
- A real mattress for visitors
For an older house near St Edward King and Confessor, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design.
What to check before you book
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- How parking will work on your street
What affects the cost of wall beds
We quote each job after the design visit, because no two rooms are the same. These are the things that affect it:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The number of doors and drawers
- The overall size of the piece
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. Tell us about parking during the design visit.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you first contact us:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What the furniture needs to hold
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
To get a quote, get in touch through our contact form and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a quote in writing follows.
What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Communal stairs in older blocks often have tight landings, so sections are sized for both the stairs and any lift. Letting the caretaker or managing agent know ahead of time helps. We cover the floors in shared areas on the way in.
- First, you tell us about the room and how you’d like it to work. A desk or shelving around the bed can be part of it.
- We come to measure, look at the wall and floor, and go through the layout with you.
- A written quote follows, covering the cabinet, the storage and the finish, for you to look over.
- The bed cabinet and any shelves or desk are made in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Before we arrive
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- Let us know if your street is in a controlled parking zone
- Empty the space we will be working in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote starts with some details: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, use our contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.
