How we make wall beds for Wimbledon Chase
Studio flats benefit more than most from a bed that folds away. During the day, the room is somewhere to sit, work and eat, and at night it becomes a bedroom. Storage and shelving can go on either side or above, so the whole wall works hard. Typical reasons to get in touch are a playroom that can sleep visitors and a home office that also sleeps guests, and the answer is made in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
With a large share of homes around Wimbledon Chase 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 during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something is not quite right, tell us before anything is made.

How it’s made
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a traditional finish in a period room.
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF stays flat and paints beautifully, so it suits the doors on the bed cabinet.
Common questions about wall beds
Will a conservation area stop me having wall beds fitted in Wimbledon Chase?
Normally not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character may need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Do you make wall beds for homes in Wimbledon Chase?
Yes, we work across Merton, Wimbledon Chase included, and across the rest of London. You can send us a few details through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
Getting it in is planned at the measuring visit. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doors, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes, that is a common request. Shelves and cupboards around the bed make the most of the space, while new sockets are for your electrician.
How much does a wall bed cost?
Every piece is quoted for your room after the design visit. Size, storage and finish all affect the price. For a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two choices: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Before and after fitting day
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- Lower and lift the bed steadily
- Give the paint time to cure fully
- Check there’s room for the bed to fold down
- Look at your lease before fixing to the walls
New paintwork takes a while to harden. Go easy on the doors and front at first, and wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth only.
Think about who will sleep in the bed and how often. That helps decide its size and the mechanism, and whether a desk or shelves go around it.
Why people ask for wall beds in Wimbledon Chase
In a studio or a small flat, every bit of floor counts. A bed that folds up gives you a living room in the day and a bedroom at night.
Some of the things we’re asked to solve are these:
- A bed that looks like cupboards by day
- A hobby room with a bed for guests
- A living room with a bed that folds away
- A proper bed instead of a sofa bed
If you live in a flat close to Wimbledon Chase station, check any building rules on lifts and working hours early, and the sections will be sized for the way in.
Choosing a carpenter
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
Fitting day, step by step
At the end, we tidy up and lift the floor protection. Before we go, we look over the finished furniture with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the bed, the cabinets and the wall it fixes to, and your quote sets out the fitting days. In a period home, the furniture is fitted to walls that aren’t straight, so each piece is trimmed and adjusted on site. We protect the floors and keep dust to a minimum. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so let us know about permits and bays at the design visit.
- You tell us about the room.
- We come to measure and talk through the bed, the storage and the finish.
- You receive a written quote covering the design, materials and finish.
- The cabinets are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood; a spray finish is applied there for a smooth, even surface.
- We fit everything in your home and check the bed lowers and lifts smoothly.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
- Leave a clear route from the front door to the room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Getting a quote
If you know what you want, say so; if you don’t, that’s fine, and we can work it out together. The design is talked through at the visit, once we have measured, and the written quote that follows sets it out. To arrange a visit, send us a few details through our contact form.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?
A sofa bed is cheaper and simpler, which suits some homes. A wall bed takes a proper mattress and gives back the floor, which matters in a small room. The two recesses beside a chimney breast are seldom an identical size, which means a matching pair of ready-made units seldom fits both. Each side can be made to its own size.
There is no price list, because each job is designed for a single room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a quote in writing. To start, message us from the contact page.
