Fitted wardrobes across Southwark: what to expect
Hanging heights are planned around your clothes, not a catalogue. Long coats and dresses need one tall section, while two rails, one over the other, suit shirts and jackets. We also think about who uses it, keeping rails at a height they can reach. We make fitted wardrobes from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are space under the eaves going to waste and storage boxes stacked under the bed.
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’s what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote.
- You contact us about fitted wardrobes.
- At the design visit we measure the room and agree the layout and doors.
- Your written quote follows, setting out the design, materials and finish.
- We build the wardrobes in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls and ceiling; a hand-painted finish is done on site.
- At the end we check each door and drawer with you; fresh paintwork needs gentle handling while it cures.
Quotes in Southwark
The inside of the furniture affects the price as well: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We’ll talk through what you need inside at the measuring visit.

To make a start, message us from the contact page and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. From there, we arrange a design visit to measure up and talk through your ideas, and a written quote follows.

Fitted wardrobes for homes across Southwark
Bedrooms across Southwark might have alcoves, sloping ceilings, bulkheads or none of these. Fitted wardrobes are scribed to the walls and levelled on site. You choose the colour and whether it’s spray-painted or hand-painted.
The biggest shares of homes in Southwark were built since 2000 (about 28%) and before 1919 (about 26%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It is a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 28% of homes in Southwark were built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Bedrooms in homes built since 2000 tend to be compact, with stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board. Purpose-built flats are home to about 64% of households in Southwark, in the ONS Census 2021 figures. For a flat, fitted wardrobes are made in sections sized for the stairs, the lift and the doors. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and Southwark is part of that. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
East Dulwich: For an older house near The Latter Rain Outpouring Revival Church, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind fitted wardrobes is part of the design. Close to Brunswick Park? Fitted wardrobes are usually planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay.
Where other trades come in
It is worth being clear about where our work stops:
- Moving switches or sockets, which needs an electrician
- Fixing the cause of condensation or damp
- The loft conversion itself, which is building work under Building Regulations
Flats, blocks and rented homes
Mansion blocks and purpose-built blocks often have house rules about lifts, entry systems and when trades can come in. Tell us about them during the design visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. TfL runs the red routes, and the stopping rules are strict, so it is worth raising during the design visit.
Pricing fitted wardrobes in Southwark
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. That depends on:
- Parking and unloading on your street
- The internal fittings
- The overall size of the piece
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
No two rooms cost the same to furnish, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. Spray painting and hand painting are different processes, which affects the cost. You’ll see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- 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
- What the furniture needs to hold
To get a quote for fitted wardrobes in Southwark, send us a few details through our contact form. Let us know which room it is and roughly what you have in mind. We’ll arrange a design visit, then send a written quote.
Is bespoke worth it?
With off-the-shelf wardrobes, the colour choice is the maker’s. We paint fitted wardrobes in the colour you choose, sprayed in the workshop or painted by hand. Bespoke work does take longer than buying from a shop.
Before you hire any carpenter
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
- Have they measured the stairs, lift and doorways?
- Where they’ll park and unload
- Will the quote be in writing?
What it’s made from
Hand-painted finish
A hand-painted finish often suits wardrobes in older houses. You choose the colour.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which suits wardrobe carcasses, shelves and drawers. Its layered edge can be painted or left on show.
Questions from Southwark
Will you paint the walls around the furniture?
No. Our work is the furniture, not the walls, so any work on the walls is for a plasterer or decorator. We finish the furniture itself, as set out in your quote.
Do you cover Southwark?
Yes. We cover Southwark. To get a quote, fill in our short enquiry form.
Do you work outside London?
No. We work in London and nowhere else.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. You do not need to watch us work, though we like to go over the furniture with you at the end.
How do I get a quote?
It’s easiest to send us a few details through our contact form with some details about the room. We then arrange a design visit, measure up and send a quote in writing.
What if my bedroom floor isn’t level?
We allow for it from the start. The wardrobe is set level with a plinth or adjustable feet and scribed to the walls.
Do you make the furniture yourselves?
Each piece is made at our workshop for the room it’s going into, then brought to your home and fitted. It is built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
