How we make wall beds for Preston
A wall bed needs clear space in front of it to fold down, and that shapes the design. Furniture in front of the bed has to be easy to move or kept out of the way when the bed is down. Typical reasons to get in touch are more floor space in a studio flat and a spare room that’s rarely slept in, and the answer is made in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
A good part of the housing around Preston is interwar, semi-detached or detached. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the box room over the stairs is a classic spot for fitted furniture. The main bedroom may have a bay at the front and a chimney breast on the side wall.
If the job needs another trade, like an electrician or a plumber, we will tell you. Our quote covers the carpentry: the design, the materials and the finish.

Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Common questions about wall beds
I live near South Kenton station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Brent and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Preston?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. 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 is useful to let us know about parking at the design visit.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we’ll see what we can do.
Can you fit a wall bed to a stud wall?
That’s something we look at when we measure. Different walls need different fixings, and the mechanism maker sets out what’s required.
Do you supply the mattress?
The mechanism maker sets which mattresses suit the bed by size, depth and weight. We can talk you through what the mechanism allows, so the mattress you choose fits.
How long does fitting take?
Every room is different. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days, so you’ll know before we start.

Fitting day, step by step
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections made at our workshop come in next. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. On fitting day, the sections are carried in, assembled, scribed to the wall and levelled. Hand-painted furniture can be finished on site; spray-painted pieces arrive finished from the workshop. Saturday fitting is possible by prior arrangement.
- It starts with a short note from you.
- We come to measure and talk through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- You receive a quote in writing covering the design, materials and finish.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wall bed is fitted, and any hand painting is done on site. New paint needs gentle use while it cures.
Before fitting day
- Point out meters, boilers and fuse boards near the furniture
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
Arranging a design visit
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if you don’t, that is fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we’ve measured, and the written quote then sets it out. To start, drop us a line using the contact form.
Advice
Before and after fitting day
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here are a few tips worth knowing:
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Consider how many people will sleep in it
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
- Give the paint time to cure fully
The mechanism maker’s guidance says how much bedding can stay on the bed when it folds away. Bulky duvets and pillows may need storing nearby.
Tell us what the wall is made of if you know. Solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard need different fixings, and we check it at the measuring visit too.
Preston homes and wall beds
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Preston were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 55%) and since 2000 (about 18%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Preston is in a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you want to be certain, ask the council’s planning team. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your home is on or just off a main road, it’s useful to mention it. Then we can work out where to load and unload.
If you live in a flat close to South Kenton station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in. If you live near Preston Park, wall beds are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. For families living near Preston Park Primary School, wall beds in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow.

Flats, blocks and rented homes
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. We choose fixings to suit the wall.
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
