How we make wall beds for Pitshanger
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, to a wall and floor that can take the load. 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 spare room that’s rarely slept in and more floor space in a studio flat, wall beds made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand can solve it.
Across London, neighbouring streets can be decades apart in age, and the walls in a bedroom might be brick, blockwork, lath and plaster or plasterboard. We check at the measuring visit and choose fixings for each one. With a chimney breast, the alcoves are the obvious place; without one, a full wall typically is.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we’ve talked through, the materials and the finish, so you know exactly what you are getting.

How fitting day works
On the morning of the fitting, the first job is covering the floors and protecting the way in from the front door. The sections made in our workshop come in next, one at a time. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days. If you live in a block, check any rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours; if you live in a house, let us know about steps, paths and parking. We plan the details of the day during the design visit. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- You contact us about a wall bed for a spare room or studio.
- At the design visit we plan the bed cabinet and check the stairs, landings and any lift. Mention parking as well, since vans often need a permit or a paid bay.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build the bed cabinet in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The cabinet is joined in the room, fixed securely and set level, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Preparing the room

FAQs: wall beds in Pitshanger
Is Pitshanger in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, we work across Ealing, Pitshanger included, and across the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
I live in a flat in Pitshanger. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
How much space does a wall bed need?
It depends on the bed size and the mechanism. We measure up and make sure the bed has room to fold down.
How are wall beds priced?
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Each wall bed is different, so we quote once we have seen the room. To arrange a visit, use our contact form.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
It depends on the wall and floor. The mechanism must be fixed to a sound wall or floor, as its maker specifies, and we look at this when we measure.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you get in touch.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so let us know about it during the design visit.
Bespoke wall beds or ready-made?
Sofa beds cost less and need no fixing, and for occasional guests that may be enough. With a wall bed you get a proper bed and an empty floor by day, which can make a small room usable. Off-the-shelf furniture is designed for no room in particular, while fitted furniture is drawn for the room it goes into. The finish is chosen to suit the space.
The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.
Why choose us
- Every London borough and the City of London covered
- Saturday visits and fitting by prior arrangement
- Edges scribed to follow your walls

Bedrooms in Pitshanger: local notes
About 43% of the homes in the area around Pitshanger went up before 1919, and about 18% between 1919 and 1939, 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. There are 8 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Pitshanger. Being near listed buildings does not make a home listed, and you can check any address on Historic England’s list. Around Pitshanger, about 43% of homes date from before 1919, well above the figure for Ealing as a whole, about 28%, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. That makes period details like uneven walls, alcoves and picture rails more likely to shape the design.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. Living in a block of flats near Castle Bar Park station? Then wall beds are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. If your home is one of the older houses near Church of St Barnabas, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice.
Pitshanger is part of the London Borough of Ealing, about 1 mile south of Ealing. Design visits and fitting in Pitshanger can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. We list Pitshanger among 19 places we cover in Ealing.
In W5, W13 and UB6, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Streets in the area include Selby Road, Argyle Road and Kent Avenue, and homes on each of them are within our area for wall beds. We also cover Brentham Garden Suburb (1 mile east), Perivale (1 mile north), Ealing (1 mile south), Hanwell (2 miles south-west) and West Ealing (2 miles south-west). Elsewhere in Ealing, we also cover Acton (2 miles south-east), Southall (3 miles south-west), Northolt (3 miles north-west), Acton Green (3 miles south-east), Bedford Park (3 miles south-east) and Northfields (2 miles south).
Around Pitshanger
Our area takes in the homes around St Benedict's School, Brentham Clubhouse pub and Ealing Independent College. For rail, the closest station is Castle Bar Park station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find London Transport Museum Depot (2 miles south-east) and Ealing Hospital (1.9 miles south-west). Not far away are Fox Wood and Castlebar Hill.
When is bespoke worth it?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths, and standard units leave gaps.
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is easy to buy.
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:
- The internal fittings
- Tricky walls, sloping ceilings and uneven floors
- Parking and unloading on your street
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: drawers take more making than shelves, and each rail, divider or pull-out adds to the work. At the design visit, we work out what you need inside, then set it out in the quote.
Getting in touch
You don’t need exact measurements or a plan. It is enough to send:
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
- How you want to use the space
- Any ideas or images you have saved
- Rough measurements: width, height and depth
Pictures help us understand the room before we visit. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space, especially with rough sizes. To share them, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
