Practical tips
Fitted furniture is part of the room, so it’s worth looking after. A few pointers help:
- Plan where chairs and desks will sit
- Clean the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth
- Choose a mattress that suits the mechanism
- Think about where extra bedding will go
Check the mattress stays within the limits the mechanism maker sets, because a mattress outside those limits can affect the balance. If you change the mattress later, check it against those limits.
If you live in a leasehold flat, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Your lease is something to check with whoever manages the building.
Wall beds in Picketts Lock: what you get
The cabinet is made 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. People typically come to us about more floor space in a studio flat 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.
Fitted furniture in a bedroom has to work with how you use the room. Whatever your home in Picketts Lock is like, the first question at the measuring visit is what the room needs to do. The layout, the doors and the inside follow from that. You choose the colour, spray-painted or hand-painted.

Questions from Picketts Lock
Is Picketts Lock in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, Picketts Lock is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Enfield and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Is parking a problem for fitting in Picketts Lock?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed, and suspensions often need notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
How do you get the furniture up the stairs?
It’s made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
It’s a chance to measure properly and talk through what you’d like. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a quote in writing.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We can’t advise on leases, so please check yours.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you get in touch.
Materials and finishes
Shelves
Open shelves soften a wall of cupboards and keep it from feeling heavy.
Moisture-resistant MDF
We use moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels for a clean, even look.
Bedrooms in Picketts Lock: local notes
In the neighbourhood around Picketts Lock, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 27%) and between 1973 and 1999 (about 20%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Picketts Lock is partly covered by a conservation area, going by Historic England’s data. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you are unsure, check with the council before work starts. Each London borough runs its own parking controls, and Enfield is no exception. Depending on your street in Picketts Lock, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a council bay suspension may be needed. Parking near your home is worth mentioning during the design visit.
If you live near Pymmes Park, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. If your children go to Delta Primary School or a school nearby, hanging rails set low at first can be raised later, as children get taller.

Why people ask for wall beds in Picketts Lock
Plenty of spare rooms have become home offices. People want a desk by day and a bed for visitors, and a wall bed makes that possible.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- A living room with a bed that folds away
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A playroom that can sleep visitors
The wider area includes historic houses like Bruce Castle, about 2.6 miles south-west. If your own home is a period one, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.
What to check before you book
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Where they’ll park and unload
From workshop to your room
Fitting day follows a set order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. It’s useful to clear the room and the route in before fitting day, including anything on the walls near the work. We cover floors and doorways first. Sections are then carried in and assembled.
- You tell us about the room and who the bed is for. The bed can sit among shelves or beside a desk.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish, ready to check.
- The bed housing and any shelves are built in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Take anything hanging off the wall we’re fitting to
Getting a quote
To get a quote, message us from the contact page and tell us a little about the room. We then arrange a design visit to measure and talk through the design, and a written quote follows.
Advice
How we price wall beds
The price for your room depends on:
- The number of doors and drawers
- How big the furniture is
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The internal fittings
Parking is part of the price picture in London. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. Tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so we can plan for it.
Helping us understand the room
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Your postcode and the borough
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What the furniture needs to hold
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing, so you can take your time with it. To book one, fill in our short enquiry form.
