About our wall beds in Roxeth
Spare rooms in London homes are often small, and the bed fills the room even when no one is staying. When the bed is folded away, the room is open again, ready for work, exercise or play. Guests still get a proper bed when they stay. If your home has a playroom that can sleep visitors and a study that doubles as a spare room, that’s what wall beds are for, made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
A bedroom in a house from between the wars normally has simpler mouldings than a Victorian one, which makes it simple to take fitted furniture up to the ceiling. If yours is one of the interwar houses or semis that make up much of the housing around Roxeth, the top cupboards can hold suitcases and spare bedding. Skirting boards are cut around neatly.

Why people ask for wall beds in Roxeth
Most people come to us with a guest room that sits empty most of the year. A bed fills the room whether anyone is using it or not, and a wall bed lets the room be used every day.
People usually get in touch with us about needs like these:
- A guest room that sits empty most of the time
- A studio that works by day and night
- Hiding the bed when it is not in use
- A study that doubles as a spare room
If you live in a flat close to Sudbury Hill Harrow station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- How the furniture will be finished, and where
- How parking will work on your street
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Cost matters, and it’s fair to say so: flat-pack is usually cheaper to buy. Bespoke makes more sense where the room is tricky, the space is valuable or you want the furniture to look built in.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.
Fitted bedroom furniture in Roxeth
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Roxeth were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 42%) and before 1919 (about 19%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how wall beds are fixed and fitted. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Roxeth include The Old Schools (Grade I), about 0.6 miles north-east, and The White Cottage (Grade II*), about 0.5 miles south-east. If you live in a listed building, fixing into or taking out original features like panelling can require listed building consent. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. Controlled parking zones are common across London, and Harrow sets its own rules. If your street in Roxeth is in a controlled parking zone, a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. It helps to let us know about parking during the design visit.
If you live near Northwick Park, keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright. If your children go to Roxeth Primary School or a school nearby, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.

If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. A lease can require consent from the building owner for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We cannot advise on your lease.

Practical tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Here are our suggestions:
- Think about how often the bed will be used
- Check there’s room for the bed to fold down
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Give the paint time to cure fully
New paintwork takes a while to harden. Treat the cabinet gently at first, and wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth only.
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.
How fitting works for wall beds
In older rooms, the furniture normally has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. The time the fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it’s worth mentioning during the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- You tell us about the room and who the bed is for. The bed can sit among shelves or beside a desk.
- We visit to measure up and look at what the wall is made of, as the bed must be fixed securely.
- A quote follows, setting out the design and finish.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cabinet is fitted and the bed checked as it lowers and lifts.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Let us know where the boiler and meters are

Your questions about wall beds in Roxeth
Can parking be tricky on fitting day in Roxeth?
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 tell us about parking during the design visit, so we can plan the day around it.
Do you make wall beds for homes in Roxeth?
Yes. We cover all of Harrow and the rest of London, and Roxeth is part of that. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Will a wall bed work on my wall?
That depends on what the wall and floor are made of. The mechanism must be fixed to a sound wall or floor, as its maker specifies, so we check it during the design visit.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
A secure fixing and careful use are what matter. We fix the mechanism as its maker specifies; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It needs a little planning: leaving ventilation behind and inside helps stop condensation. We don’t treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections. At the design visit, we measure the route not just the room.
