Fitting day, step by step
Before anything is fixed, we set the furniture level. Floors are often out of level, so adjustable feet or a plinth take up the difference, and that keeps the doors and shelves true. After that, it is fixed to the wall using fixings that suit the wall, whether that’s solid brick, lath and plaster or plasterboard. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know at the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- First, you tell us about the space. Mention who the bed is for.
- The design visit covers measuring, the wall and the layout.
- A quote in writing is sent to you, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- Everything is built in our workshop.
- We fit the bed and storage in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Getting ready for fitting day
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
Arranging a design visit
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. To send them, drop us a line using the contact form. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and talk through the design, then send a written quote.

How we make wall beds for Waltham Forest
We fit wall beds in Waltham Forest and across London. First comes a design visit, where we measure and look at the wall, followed by a quote. We make everything in our workshop and fit it in your home. How long fitting takes depends on the design and how much storage goes around the bed, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote, so you will know beforehand. If your home has a spare room that’s rarely slept in and a storage wall with a bed inside, that’s what wall beds are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. A big part of the housing around Waltham Forest is interwar, semi-detached or detached. We work in lofts that are already converted, and the furniture is scribed to the slope and the walls.
Materials are named in the quote: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job. It also says how the furniture will be finished: spray painted or hand painted.

Is it time for wall beds?
Lots of spare rooms have become home offices. The room needs to be an office and still sleep guests, and a fold-down bed lets it do both.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A guest bed that disappears in the day
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
- A spare room that is rarely slept in
For a family home near Normanhurst School, the inside of wall beds can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.
What to check before you book

Fitted bedroom furniture in Waltham Forest
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 39% of the housing in the area around Waltham Forest, with about 23% built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Near the centre of Waltham Forest, Historic England’s list includes Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge (Grade II*), less than half a mile west, and Church of St John the Baptist (Grade II), about 0.6 miles south-east. For a listed home, internal works that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. An early word with the council’s conservation officer is the best first step. About 42% of households in the area around Waltham Forest live in detached or semi-detached houses, the 2021 Census shows. A house like that usually has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
If you live in a period home close to St John the Baptist Church, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where wall beds go. Close to Linder's Field? Keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright.
Waltham Forest is about 4 miles south-west of Walthamstow, part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Design visits and fitting in Waltham Forest can be on a Saturday, by prior arrangement. Our work takes in places right across the rest of London, large and small.
In E4 and IG9, the process is the same as anywhere else in London. Main roads around Waltham Forest include the A1069. If your home is on one of them, tell us during the design visit, as some main roads have strict stopping rules. If you’re just outside Waltham Forest, we also cover Friday Hill (1 mile south-west), Monkhams (1 mile south), Chingford Hatch (1 mile south-west) and Woodford Wells (1 mile south). We also make wall beds in nearby places such as Walthamstow (4 miles south-west), Leyton (5 miles south), Bakers Arms (4 miles south), Walthamstow Village (4 miles south-west), Leytonstone (5 miles south) and Holloway Down (6 miles south).

Boards, parts and paint
Moisture-resistant MDF
A painted MDF front looks crisp, which suits the doors and side panels.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood gives a strong carcass for a piece that moves every day.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
If the property is let, we’ll need access agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways as well as the room, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is typically a gap left over at the top or at one end. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can use the full height and width.
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.
Questions from Waltham Forest
I live near Chingford station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across London are within the area we cover. You can fill in our short enquiry form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Is Waltham Forest in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes, Waltham Forest is within the area we cover, which takes in all of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, and then we send a quote.
Is a wall bed safe?
Safety depends on a secure fixing and sensible use. The mechanism is fixed exactly as its maker sets out; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
How is the furniture 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.
Who chooses the colour?
The choice is yours. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
How are wall beds priced?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. To arrange a design visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
