Wall beds for homes in Turnpike Lane
Safety starts with the fixing: the mechanism is fixed as its maker specifies, to a wall and floor that can take the load. We check the wall and floor at the measuring visit, because the fixing has to suit what the wall is made of. Typical reasons to get in touch are room for a desk and a guest bed and somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep; the furniture is made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed.
In a Victorian bedroom, the chimney breast usually sits on a side wall, with a recess to each side. That layout is worth knowing around Turnpike Lane, where a large share of homes were built before 1919. Storage can go in each recess, with a bridge of cupboards over the chimney breast. The flue behind is kept ventilated, and any damp is sorted first.

Common questions about wall beds
I live in a flat in Turnpike Lane. How will the furniture get up the stairs?
We measure the route in not just the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It helps to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do you cover homes near Hornsey station?
Yes, homes across Haringey and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with some details about the room.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It also helps to have someone around at the end, so we can go over the finished furniture together.
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We’ll design around them.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you get in touch.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. You can send them when you get in touch through our contact form.

Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. Near the centre of Turnpike Lane, Historic England’s list includes Church of St John the Baptist (greek Orthodox) (Grade II*), under half a mile south, and Tower of Old Parish Church of St Mary (Grade II*), under half a mile west. Where a home is listed, listed building consent can be needed for inside works that affect its character, such as fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. About 66% of homes in the neighbourhood around Turnpike Lane were built before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures.

Do you need wall beds in Turnpike Lane?
Studio flats and small one-bedroom flats are another reason. A bed that folds up gives you a living room in the day and a bedroom at night.
A few of the things people ask us to solve include:
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- A real mattress for visitors
- A studio that works by day and night
For an older house near Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox), a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go.

Flats, conversions and lettings
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We can’t give advice on leases.
How we price wall beds
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. The main factors are:
- How square the room is
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The number of doors and drawers
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay near your home. It helps to talk about parking at the design visit, so it can be planned.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Approximate measurements of the space
- How you want to use the space
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any

How fitting day works
Once the main sections are fixed in place, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, then checked again. 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. Older London houses often have narrow hallways and tight turns on the stairs, so wall beds are made in sections sized to get through. Floors and stair carpets are protected on the way in and out, and the sections are joined and scribed in the room.
- First, you tell us about the room and how you’d like it to work.
- We come to measure, look at the wall and floor, and go through the layout with you.
- We send a quote setting out the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are made in our workshop.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly.
Before fitting day
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
