How fitting works for wall beds
At the end, we tidy up. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Clearing the room and the way in beforehand helps the day run well. Fitting day starts with protecting the floors and setting out the pieces. Each piece is levelled, scribed where the wall wanders and fixed to suit the wall.
- It starts with a short note from you.
- At the design visit we agree the layout and the colour.
- You receive a written quote covering the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- The wall bed is fitted, and any hand painting is done on site. New paint needs gentle use while it cures.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Take down pictures, mirrors and shelves from the wall
- Have your electrician move any sockets or switches beforehand
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
How to get a quote
Rough measurements are fine at the start. Everything is measured properly when we visit, including how level the floor and ceiling are. To get started, drop us a line using the contact form. You receive a written quote after the visit.

Wall beds for homes in North Cheam
We build the bed housing from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray painted in our workshop or hand painted. Doors on the front can look like a run of cupboards, sitting quietly in the room. Most enquiries start with a home office that also sleeps guests and hiding the bed when it’s not in use; the furniture is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and the slope can take storage cut to its angle. Around North Cheam, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large part of the housing. Our part starts once the loft has been converted, and the furniture is scribed to the slope and the walls.
We write quotes in plain English, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

How it’s made
Spray-painted finish
Spray painting suits a cabinet you want to look crisp and is finished before it reaches you.
Birch plywood
For a sturdy cabinet, birch plywood is a good choice around a moving bed.
The problems wall beds solve
Often the bed is one part of a bigger plan. Cupboards and shelving either side turn one wall into storage, workspace and a bed.
Typical reasons people contact us include:
- A real mattress for visitors
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A flexible room for a growing family
For families living near Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

Bedrooms in North Cheam: local notes
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 58% of the housing in the streets around North Cheam, with about 13% built between 1973 and 1999, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of North Cheam is in a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. The controls in a conservation area are mostly about the outside of buildings, so furniture fitted inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you are unsure, check with the council before work starts. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Sutton is no exception. If your street in North Cheam is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a pay-and-display bay or a suspended bay through the council may be needed. We ask about parking at the measuring visit, so the day can be planned around it.
Living in a block of flats near West Sutton station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. If you live near Nonsuch Park, morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window.

Common questions about wall beds
Is North Cheam in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, we work across Sutton, North Cheam included, and across the rest of London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
Do you cover homes near West Sutton station?
Yes, homes across Sutton and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
It is made in sections. At the design visit, we measure the route not just the room.
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’ll design around them.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
That depends on what the wall and floor are made of. The mechanism has to be fixed securely as its maker specifies, to a wall or floor that can take the load, so we check it at the measuring visit.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. We’ll also ask about access and parking, and afterwards we send a written quote.
Practical tips
People planning wall beds often ask about these. They’re worth knowing before and after fitting:
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
- Let us know what the wall is made of if you know
- Clean the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
New paintwork takes a while to harden. Go easy on the doors and front at first, and clean the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth.
Consider how often the bed will be used and by whom. That helps decide its size and the mechanism, and whether a desk or shelves go around it.
Honest limits
Our work is the furniture itself: designing it, making it in our workshop and fitting it. In practice, that means:
- Building work to make a wall sound
- Decorating around the cabinet
- Supplying mattresses
