Ask about wall beds in Winchmore Hill
Bespoke wall beds or ready-made?
Standard units seldom reach the ceiling or fit wall to wall. A bespoke cabinet can run the full width and height, with storage or shelves filling the rest of the wall. Ready-made furniture rarely suits a bay, a box room or a bulkhead over the stairs, and interwar homes often have all three. Built-in pieces are designed to fit them.
We don’t publish set prices, because each job is designed for a single room. Instead, we measure, talk through the design and then quote in writing, with the materials and finish set out. To start, tell us about the room on our contact form.

How we make wall beds for Winchmore Hill
The bed mechanism must be fixed securely, exactly as its maker specifies, into a wall or floor that’s sound enough to hold it. At the design visit we look at the wall it will go on as solid brick, stud walls and plasterboard all need different fixings. We make wall beds from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a guest room that sits empty most of the time and storage built around a fold-down bed.
If you live in one of the interwar houses or semis around Winchmore Hill, the third bedroom is often small, sitting over the stairs. That’s where wall beds earn their place, making a small room work as a dressing room, a guest room or both. Nothing is assumed: the room is measured wall by wall.
Our quotes are written in plain words, without jargon. You will see what will be made, the boards used and the finish.

When is bespoke worth it?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job.
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.

What happens on fitting day
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. Interwar houses usually have a straight run of stairs and a reasonable hallway, though we still measure the route in along with the room itself. The furniture comes in sections and is put together where it is going.
- You let us know about the room and who the bed is for.
- At the design visit we measure the room and check the wall and floor.
- We send a written quote for the bed cabinet and storage, ready to check.
- The bed housing and any shelves are made in our workshop.
- We fit it in your home, with the mechanism fixed as its maker specifies.
Before we arrive
- Arrange any electrical changes with your electrician in advance
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall
How to get a quote
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit, once the room is measured and the design talked through. For a quote, fill in our short enquiry form.

How we price wall beds
Every room is different, so every job is quoted on its own. These are the things that affect it:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- Parking near your home
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. A larger piece means more material and more time. Doors, drawers, internal fittings and the finish make up most of the rest.
What we need to know
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- What the furniture needs to hold
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- The type of home and how the room is reached
If you already have something in mind, tell us; if not, we can work it out together at the visit. At the design visit, we measure up and talk the design through with you, and the written quote then sets it out. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Do you need wall beds in Winchmore Hill?
The most common reason is a spare room that’s rarely slept in. A standard bed takes up the floor all the time, and a wall bed lets the room be used every day.
These come up often when people first get in touch:
- A home office that also sleeps guests
- A bed that fills a little-used room
- Somewhere comfortable for guests to sleep
- A studio that works by day and night
If you live near Grovelands Park, wall beds are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
What to check before you book
- Have they thought about parking near you?
- How the doors are hung and adjusted
- Who does any electrics, plumbing or gas work
- Can you see real work of theirs?
Questions from Winchmore Hill
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Winchmore Hill?
It depends on the street, as many London boroughs run controlled parking zones. A van may need a visitor’s permit, a paid parking bay or a bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. Let us know what parking is near you during the design visit.
Do you cover homes near Winchmore Hill station?
Yes. We cover all of Enfield and the rest of London. To get started, you can message us from the contact page with some details about the room.
What finishes do you offer?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. Your quote sets out which you have chosen.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
Is it possible to add a desk beside the wall bed?
Yes, and it is one of the best ways to use the wall. Shelves and cupboards around the bed make the most of the space, while new sockets are for your electrician.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, and furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need it. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
