Wall beds in Oakwood: what you get
The cabinet is made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. Doors on the front can look like a run of cupboards, so the room does not read as a bedroom by day. Typical reasons to get in touch are a bed that looks like cupboards by day and somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep; the furniture is made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Around Oakwood, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the spare room may be the small one at the front, over the hall and stairs. That is where wall beds earn their place, making a small room work as a dressing room, a guest room or both. Every wall is measured and checked, even in a house that looks square.
Our quotes are written in plain words. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
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 it is worth raising during the design visit.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
Looking after your furniture
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it is worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
- Think about how often the bed will be used
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
- Mention if the wall is a stud wall
Whether bedding can stay on the bed when it folds up depends on the mechanism. We can build a cupboard beside the bed for extra bedding.
Check how much floor there is in front of the cabinet. You need clear space for the bed to come down, so think about where a chair or desk will go.

What else we make in Oakwood
From workshop to your room
Getting everything level comes first. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that is solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so any section going up there is sized for them. Elsewhere in the house, the route is usually more generous. Each section is assembled and fixed in the room.
- You get in touch with some details about the room. Mention who the bed is for.
- We visit, measure and discuss the bed, shelves and desk. What the wall is made of matters, as the bed has to be fixed securely.
- You receive a written quote.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wall bed is fitted in your home.
Preparing the room
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture

Do you need wall beds in Oakwood?
Some people are tired of sofa beds. A wall bed takes a proper mattress, chosen to suit its mechanism, and the bed sits flat on its frame.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
- A spare room that is rarely slept in
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
Near listed buildings like Oakwood Underground Station, under half a mile north-west of the centre of Oakwood, older homes may keep original joinery that wall beds can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Whether they measure the room themselves
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
Questions we’re often asked
I live near Winchmore Hill station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Enfield and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Is Oakwood in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes. Oakwood is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Enfield and London. To get started, you can get in touch through our contact form with a few details.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You do. We agree the colour with you, and it is set out in the quote.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It is something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
How much space does a wall bed need?
You need clear floor in front of the cabinet for the bed to fold down, as well as the depth of the cabinet itself. We measure this at the design visit and plan the layout around it.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Oakwood
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 44% of the housing in the streets around Oakwood, with about 22% built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Part of Oakwood is in a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission in a conservation area, as the controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings. If in doubt, the council’s planning team can confirm. Many London boroughs run controlled parking zones, and Enfield sets its own rules. If your street in Oakwood is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension through the council may be needed. We ask about parking during the design visit, so the day can be planned around it.
For an older house near St Thomas's Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. If you live near Oakwood Park, wall beds are typically planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
