Fitted wardrobes across Haringey: what to expect
We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood in our workshop. The doors are finished with spray paint in the workshop or painted by hand, in a colour agreed with you. We then fit them in your home, setting them level on adjustable feet or a plinth and scribing them to the walls and ceiling. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about wardrobes that are full to bursting and several odd pieces where one run of storage would do.
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote.
- You contact us with a short note about the room and the wardrobes you have in mind, and we arrange a design visit.
- At the design visit, we measure up and plan the doors and the inside with you. We also look at the way in, in case the sections need to go up narrow stairs.
- We send a written quote for the wardrobes.
- The wardrobes are made at our workshop.
- We install the wardrobes, hang the doors and fit the rails, shelves and drawers. A hand-painted finish, if you chose one, is done on site.
Quotes in Haringey
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.

Fitted wardrobes for homes across Haringey
Haringey has bedrooms of every shape, from bay-fronted rooms in older houses to tight rooms in modern flats. The design follows the room, not a catalogue, with the inside laid out around what you keep.
In Haringey, the largest groups of homes date from before 1919 (about 54%) and the years since 2000 (about 13%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. That matters for fitted wardrobes, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. More than half of the homes in Haringey (about 54%) were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Bedrooms in houses of that age often have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit wardrobes built to their widths. Flats in converted or shared houses account for about 24% of households in Haringey, according to Census 2021. Conversions often leave rooms in unusual shapes, with partition walls, boxed-in pipes and chimney breasts in odd places, 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.
Since August 2023, the Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all of London, and red routes, run by TfL, have strict rules on stopping.
Tottenham: If you live in a period home close to Church of St Mary the Virgin, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, like Tower to South West of Bruce Castle, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
What we don’t do
Electrics, plumbing, gas, plastering and structural work are not part of what we do. There are a few other points to bear in mind:
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
- Converting a loft (we build storage in lofts that are already converted)
- Decorating or plastering the room
Looking after your furniture
These points come up often when people plan fitted wardrobes. They help before and after fitting:
- In a leasehold flat, read the lease first
- Ask your electrician about moving sockets early
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
- Empty the area where we’ll be working
Doors can settle a little once the wardrobes are filled. Most hinges can be adjusted to bring a door back in line, and sliding doors can be adjusted on their runners.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear. Look out for a musty smell or spots on clothes and have the cause looked at early.
Bespoke fitted wardrobes or ready-made?
Getting a big standalone wardrobe into a flat or up a tight stair can be difficult. Our wardrobes are made in sections sized to get up the stairs, into the lift and through the doors.
Before you hire any carpenter

- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
- Real projects you can actually look at

Boards, parts and paint
Moisture-resistant MDF
Wardrobe doors are large, so stability matters. MDF gives a flat, smooth surface that paints well.
Doors and drawer fronts
Doors can be plain, panelled or shaped to suit the room. You choose a colour that matches or contrasts with the room.
Flats, conversions and lettings
Many London terraces have been converted into flats, and that often means a shared hallway and a tight turn on the stairs. Each section is sized with that in mind.
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. At the design visit, we measure the stairs, the landings, any lift and the doors, so the furniture can be made in sections that fit through without a struggle.
FAQs: fitted wardrobes in Haringey
What if my bedroom floor is not level?
Floors in older houses are often out of level. We set fitted wardrobes level on a plinth or adjustable feet, so the doors hang true.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Hinged or sliding doors: which suits my bedroom?
That depends on how much space there is in front of the wardrobe. Where a bed sits close by, sliding doors often work better. We look at it with you when we measure.
What can go inside a fitted wardrobe?
We plan it with you during the design visit, starting from the clothes you have. Adjustable shelves keep some flexibility for later.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how awkward the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
Can you build wardrobes around a bed?
Yes. Storage around a bed makes good use of a wall that is often wasted and can include bedside shelves. The bed size and room are measured when we visit.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, Saturdays are possible by arrangement. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we will see what we can do.
