Fitting day, step by step
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, and then we check it all again. The time the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Scribing is done on site, which means some cutting in the room or close by, so we ask for a clear space to work near the room. We keep dust down and tidy as we go. Hand painting, if that’s your finish, can follow the fitting.
- You let us know about the room.
- We come to measure and discuss the bed, the storage and the finish.
- A quote in writing follows.
- We build the cabinets in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wall bed is fitted, and any hand painting is done on site.
Preparing the room
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- If you live in a block, book the lift and tell the building manager
- Clear the area where the furniture is going

Wall beds in Westbourne
We fit wall beds in Westbourne 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. The time the fitting takes depends on the size of the bed and the cabinets around it, and your quote sets out the fitting days. People usually come to us about a guest room that sits empty most of the time and a real mattress for visitors, and the answer is made at our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
With a large share of homes around Westbourne built before 1919, many bedrooms sit against solid brick external walls. Those walls can be colder than internal ones, so wardrobes and storage on them are designed with ventilation behind and inside to help avoid condensation. Small back bedrooms and box rooms are common too, and they suit wall beds and other fitted storage well.
Everything we agree at the measuring visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Is it time for wall beds?
Others want the bed to be part of a wider storage wall. Shelves, cupboards or a desk built around it turn one wall into storage, workspace and a bed.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A storage wall with a bed inside
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
If your children go to St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School or a school nearby, 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
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
Honest limits
We are carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:
- New sockets, lighting or wiring (your electrician)
- Structural work to the wall or floor
- Choosing a mattress for you
If you are not sure what’s possible in your room, you can send us a few details through our contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you arrange a visit. Our process from visit to fitting.

Wall beds in Westbourne: local notes
About 59% of the homes in the neighbourhood around Westbourne went up before 1919, and about 14% between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for wall beds, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. There are 169 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Westbourne. Older homes nearby may have original joinery, shutters or panelling worth keeping, and wall beds can be designed to work around them. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 25% of households in the neighbourhood around Westbourne, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. In a converted house, rooms can be odd shapes, with new partitions meeting old walls, and the route in may go through a shared hall and stairs. If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before anything is fixed to the walls.
Kensington Palace, about 0.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind wall beds is part of the design. Near listed buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre of Westbourne, older homes may keep original joinery that wall beds can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can require listed building consent.

FAQs: wall beds in Westbourne
Is Westbourne in the area you cover for wall beds?
Yes. We cover all of Westminster and the rest of London, and Westbourne is part of that. The first step is a design visit, where we measure and go through the design, followed by a quote.
Will a conservation area stop me having wall beds fitted in Westbourne?
Typically 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, works inside that affect its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
Can a wall bed have storage around it?
Yes, and it’s one of the best ways to use the wall. A desk beside the bed suits a room that’s an office by day, and any new sockets are for your electrician.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
We plan the route in at the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
What space does a fold-down bed take up?
The bed needs room in front of it to come down, on top of the cabinet’s own depth. We measure this at the design visit and plan the layout around it.
What do you do at the measuring visit?
We measure the room, check how level the walls and floors are and go through the design with you. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a written quote.

What affects the cost of wall beds
To work out the quote, we look at:
- How many doors and drawers there are
- The overall size of the piece
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Parking near your home
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying, and that’s part of the price. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.
Helping us understand the room
Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall
To get a quote for wall beds in Westbourne, send us a few details through our contact form. Let us know which room it is and roughly what you have in mind, with sizes if you have them. We’ll arrange a design visit, then send a quote in writing.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it’s easy to buy.
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths, which leaves standard units with gaps at the sides and top.
