Wall beds in West Brompton
What happens on fitting day
You won’t need to do much on the day. We need someone to let us in at the start, and it is useful to have the room cleared beforehand, as we will have talked about at the design visit. After that, it is over to us: the floors are covered, the sections come in and the fitting begins. How long fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Original hallway tiles and old floorboards are worth protecting, so they’re covered before anything comes in. Drilling into lath and plaster is done with care, so the plaster around stays sound. Decorating around the furniture afterwards is for your decorator.
- We start with how the room is used and who’ll sleep there.
- We visit to measure up and look at what the wall is made of.
- We send a written quote for the bed cabinet and storage.
- We build and finish everything in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area
- Keep pets in another room while we work
- Clear the hallway and stairs so the sections can come through
Starting with a design visit
If you know what you want, say so; 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 arrange a visit, tell us about the room on our contact form.

Wall beds in West Brompton: what you get
You need room in front of the cabinet to lower the bed, and that shapes the design. Furniture in front of the bed has to be easy to move or kept out of the way, so the bed can come down without a shuffle. We make wall beds from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and people most often get in touch about a storage wall with a bed inside and room for a desk and a guest bed.
Victorian and Edwardian bedrooms typically have a chimney breast on one wall and a recess either side. A large share of the homes around West Brompton date from before 1919, so many bedrooms there may share that layout. Storage can go in each recess, with a bridge of cupboards over the chimney breast, leaving the breast itself clear. Any capped chimney is kept ventilated.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it’s easier before the furniture is made.

Other services in West Brompton
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder, where scribing and fixings that suit the wall are important.
Why bespoke in West Brompton?
A bespoke wall bed takes more planning than buying a unit online. What you get is one design that suits the room and the way you use it. Chimney breasts in older houses stand out by different amounts, so the recesses either side are rarely the same, which means a matching pair of ready-made units seldom fits both. Each side can be made to its own size.
Getting to the room affects the job as well. Narrow halls, tight stairs or a small lift may mean the furniture is made in more sections, and that’s part of the price. Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design.

FAQs: wall beds in West Brompton
I live near West Brompton station. Is that in your area?
Yes, homes across Hammersmith and Fulham and the rest of London are within the area we cover. To get started, you can tell us about the room on our contact form with a few details about the room, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Does a conservation area in or near West Brompton affect fitted furniture?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, changes inside that alter its character can require listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you are unsure, the council can confirm.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
Safety depends on a secure fixing and sensible use. We fix the mechanism as its maker specifies; you lower it steadily with the floor clear.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
It’s made in sections, each one sized to fit the way in. At the design visit, we measure the route as well as the room.
Do I choose the paint colour?
The choice is yours. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.

Common reasons to get in touch include:

- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St Cuthbert and St Matthias, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
