Wall beds in Thamesmead: what you get
Our wall beds are made for homes in Thamesmead and all over London. It starts with a design visit to measure the room and check the wall, followed by a quote. We make everything in our workshop and fit it in your home. How long the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. People typically come to us about a spare room that’s rarely slept in and a hobby room with a bed for guests, and the answer is built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand.
The positions of the window, the radiator and the door shape a bedroom more than its size. Whatever kind of home you have in Thamesmead, we start there, then plan fitted furniture on the walls that are left. Furniture is kept clear of radiators so the room stays warm.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. They say what will be made, what it’s made from and how it will be finished, taken from what we agreed at the visit.

What else we make in Thamesmead
How fitting day works
However carefully a piece is made in the workshop, it still has to meet the room, and fitting day is where that happens. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. Whatever the age of your home, the furniture is fitted to the walls you have, scribed where walls bow and levelled where floors slope. Spray-painted pieces arrive finished; hand-painted ones can be finished on site.
- You get in touch and let us know about the room and how often the bed is used.
- We visit, measure up and check the wall the bed will fix to. We also check there’s clear space in front to lower the bed.
- You get a quote in writing for the bed cabinet and any storage around it.
- The cabinets are made in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Before fitting day
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician beforehand
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Tell us about parking near your home
Starting with a design visit
If you know what you want, say so; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To start, send us a few details through our contact form.
Advice
Pricing wall beds in Thamesmead
There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. The things that affect it are:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The internal fittings
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How many doors and drawers there are
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Rough sizes: width, height and depth
- The type of home and how the room is reached
You don’t need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit. To get started, fill in our short enquiry form. The written quote follows the visit.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them during the design visit, and we will plan the fitting around them.
Looking after your furniture
Because fitted furniture stays put, a little upkeep goes a long way. A few pointers help:
- Treat new paintwork gently at first
- Think about where extra bedding will go
- Measure the clear space in front of the wall
- Check your lease if you live in a flat
Check the mattress stays within the limits the mechanism maker sets, as a heavier one can affect how the bed balances. If you change the mattress later, check it against those limits.
Consider how often the bed will be used and by whom. That helps decide its size and the mechanism, and whether a desk or shelves go around it.
Questions from Thamesmead
Can you fit furniture in a home close to Abbey Wood station?
Yes. We cover all of Bexley and the rest of London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room.
Do you make wall beds for homes in Thamesmead?
Yes, Thamesmead is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bexley and the rest of London. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and talk through the design, followed by a quote.
How much does a wall bed cost?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. A single bed cabinet and a full wall with shelves and a desk are very different jobs, so we quote once we have seen the room. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
Are fold-down beds safe to use?
Wall beds are made for regular use as long as they’re fixed and used as the maker specifies. The mechanism is fixed securely to a wall or floor that can take the load, and the maker’s guidance on use should always be followed.
Should I send photos?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: 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.
The problems wall beds solve
Often the bed is one part of a bigger plan. Shelves, cupboards or a desk built around it turn one wall into storage, workspace and a bed.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
- Shelves or a desk around the bed
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- Room for a desk and a guest bed
