How we make fitted wardrobes for Havering

Wardrobes can be built around a bed, with cupboards each side and a run of storage above the headboard. In other rooms, the units sit either side of a window, with a dressing table or seat in between. We plan the layout so the room still feels open. We make fitted wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about wasted space beside the chimney breast and standard wardrobes that don’t fill the wall.

Furniture made in a workshop still has to meet the room it’s going into, and that happens on fitting day. Walls in older homes are rarely flat or square, so each edge that meets a wall is scribed to follow it, closing the gaps a standard unit would leave. How long the fitting itself takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.

You let us know about the room, including any slopes, alcoves or windows. A rough sketch of the room helps if you have one.
We come to measure and talk through hanging heights, doors and drawers.
We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote. It lists what’s inside each wardrobe as well as the doors.
Once you’re happy, the wardrobes are made in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
The wardrobes are fitted in your home, ready to use. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.

Homes across Havering and their bedrooms

From Romford, Hornchurch and Gallows Corner to the quieter streets, bedrooms across Havering range from box rooms to large rooms with bays. Each design uses the room’s own widths and height. The inside layout is planned around your things.

Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 36% of the housing in Havering, with about 35% built between 1945 and 1972, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. We take that into account at the measuring visit, since older and newer walls take different fixings. About 36% of homes in Havering date from between 1919 and 1939, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Many interwar houses have a small room over the stairs, which suits fitted storage made around its bulkhead. About 35% of homes in Havering were built between 1945 and 1972, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, with fixings chosen for concrete, block or brick.

We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Havering is part of that. Every job starts the same way, with a design visit to measure and discuss the design.

Romford: The wider area includes historic houses like Hare Hall, about 1.4 miles north-east. If your own home is a period one, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. Near listed buildings like Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor, under half a mile north of the centre of Romford, older homes may keep original joinery that fitted wardrobes can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?

Getting a big standalone wardrobe into a flat or up a tight stair can be difficult. We make fitted wardrobes in sections sized to the route into your home, ready to assemble in the room.

Honest limits

We are carpenters, so some jobs belong to other trades. These are worth knowing before you plan:

Moving switches or sockets, which needs an electrician
Curing damp, which needs the right specialist
Removing walls, chimney breasts or any structural work

Pricing fitted wardrobes in Havering

Several things affect the price:

How big the furniture is
Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
The finish: spray painted or hand painted
How square the room is

Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension. Tell us about parking at the measuring visit, so it can be planned.

What to send when you get in touch

Before the design visit, it helps us to know about:

Approximate measurements of the space
Your postcode and the borough
The type of home and how the room is reached
Radiators, sockets, pipes or meters on or near the wall

The quote is built from the design visit. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a quote in writing, so you can take your time with it. To book one, get in touch through our contact form.

Could you do it yourself?

A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. Sloping ceilings, uneven floors and lath-and-plaster walls make it harder.

It’s worth being honest about cost: off-the-shelf furniture normally costs less up front. Bespoke earns its place where the room is tricky, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.

Flats, leases and landlords

If your flat is leasehold, check your lease before fixing furniture to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.

For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants, at times that suit them. An agent can arrange access for you.

FAQs: fitted wardrobes in Havering

Should I choose hinged or sliding wardrobe doors?

Both work well, depending on the space. Hinged doors give full access but need clear space in front; sliding doors suit narrow rooms, though only part of the inside is open at once. We talk through both at the measuring visit.

How do I get a quote?

Simply fill in our short enquiry form. Rough measurements and a few photos help, and we’ll arrange a design visit, followed by a written quote.

Which boards do you build with?

Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, depending on the part and the design. Your quote sets out the materials.

Do I get to choose the colour?

You choose it. The paint colour is agreed with you, and it’s set out in the quote.

Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?

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.

Can you build wardrobes around a bed?

Yes. Building around the bed uses a wall that often goes unused. We measure the bed and the room at the design visit.

Should I send pictures?

Yes, they help. A few pictures of the room, from floor to ceiling, tell us a lot. You can send them when you drop us a line using the contact form.
