How we make wall beds for West Wickham
Many spare rooms are only just big enough for a bed, and the bed fills the room even when no one is staying. When the bed is folded away, the room is open again for a desk, a hobby or just space. When guests come, the bed folds down. If you’re living with a home office that also sleeps guests and more floor space in a studio flat, wall beds made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish can solve it.
Around West Wickham, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the spare room may be the small one at the front, over the hall and stairs. Small rooms like that suit wall beds, whether the room is a guest room, a dressing room or a study. Every wall is measured and checked, even in a house that looks square.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It sets out the design we have talked through, the materials and the finish, so it is clear what’s included.

Boards, parts and paint
Bed mechanism housing
The housing has to be strong and square, so it is built from sturdy board. It’s fixed to a sound wall or floor.
Hand-painted finish
If you’d like the bed to match the skirting or doors, hand painting works well.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Ready-made wall bed units are available and typically cost less, and they can work in a simple space. They come in set sizes and finishes and rarely allow for an uneven wall or an alcove. Ours is made to the room you have. Even in a 1930s house, walls and floors are not perfectly true, so standalone furniture can still lean or leave gaps. Built-in pieces are adjusted to the room on site.
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Bigger pieces use more board and take longer to make and fit, so size is the starting point. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.

Flats, leases and landlords
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 is best sorted before fitting day. We cannot give advice on leases.
Landlords furnishing a let use fitted furniture too, often to make the most of a small or awkward room. It is made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work.

FAQs: wall beds in West Wickham
Can you make wall beds for a home in West Wickham?
Yes, West Wickham is within the area we cover, which takes in all of Bromley and the rest of London. We start with a design visit to measure the room and talk through what you need, followed by a quote.
Do you cover homes near West Wickham station?
Yes. We cover all of Bromley and the rest of London. To get started, you can send us a few details through our contact form with a few details about the room.
Is a wall bed safe for everyday use?
A wall bed is designed to be used regularly 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 you should follow the maker’s guidance on lowering and lifting it.
Do I need to be in when you fit?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you don’t need to stay in the room, but it helps to be around at the end.
How much space does a wall bed need?
You need clear floor in front of the cabinet for the bed to fold down, on top of the cabinet’s own depth. We measure this at the measuring visit and plan the layout around it.
Should I send pictures?
Yes. Pictures help us understand the room before the design visit, along with rough measurements. It helps to show radiators, sockets and anything else on the wall.
What it costs
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
What to send when you get in touch
Getting some details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Examples of the look you are after
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we’ve measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, fill in our short enquiry form.
Wall beds for homes in West Wickham
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around West Wickham were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 63%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 24%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for wall beds, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Near the centre of West Wickham, Historic England’s list includes The Swan Public House (Grade II), under half a mile east, and The White Lodge (Grade II), less than half a mile west. Works inside a listed home that affect its character, for example removing original joinery or fixing into it, can require listed building consent from the council. It’s worth speaking to the council’s conservation officer before the design is final. About 61% of households in the neighbourhood around West Wickham live in detached or semi-detached houses, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a semi or detached house, a driveway, where there is one, can make unloading easier.
If you live in a period home close to St Francis of Assisi, tall ceilings give wall beds room to reach the cornice. For a family home near Oak Lodge Primary School, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else. Close to Millers Pond? Keeping wall beds off the window wall keeps the room bright.

How fitting day works
In older rooms, the furniture usually has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. On fitting day, we cut and scribe the furniture around these details. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. Some interwar and suburban streets have driveways, which can make unloading easier, so let us know at the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- We start with what the room is for, day and night. A desk or shelving around the bed can be part of it.
- 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, for you to look over.
- We build and finish the bed housing and storage in our workshop, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies. The finish is sprayed in our workshop or painted by hand on site.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
