Fitted cupboards in Bromley: how it works
In many London hallways, space is tight, so every cupboard needs to be worth the room it takes. A shallow cupboard can hold coats, shoes and bags without blocking the way, with hooks, a rail or shelves inside. Some people like a low bench with storage beneath for putting shoes on by the door. We make fitted cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray or by hand, and the usual reasons to get in touch are storage for towels and bedding and a cupboard for a recess or odd corner.
At the end, we tidy up. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and explain how to look after the paint. How long the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
- You let us know where the cupboards should go.
- We visit to measure up and discuss the design.
- A written quote follows.
- The cupboards are made at our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a little extra left on edges that meet the walls.
- We fit the cupboards and trim the edges to follow the walls and ceiling.
- The spray-painted or hand-painted finish completes the job, and new paintwork should be treated gently while it cures.
Quotes in Bromley
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

Awkward spaces in homes across Bromley
In the flats and conversions around Bromley, storage is often the thing people are shortest of. Well-planned fitted cupboards can add storage while keeping the room usable, with sections sized for the stairs and lift.
Homes built between 1919 and 1939 make up about 30% of the housing in Bromley, with about 27% built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. The age of a home tells us a lot about its walls, floors and ceilings, and so about how fitted cupboards are fixed and fitted. About 30% of homes in Bromley date from between 1919 and 1939, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Houses of that era often have a hallway wide enough for a coat and shoe cupboard, and a box room that can take more storage. About 27% of homes in Bromley were built between 1945 and 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Post-war homes often have fewer nooks than older houses, so fitted cupboards add storage that was never built in, with fixings chosen for the wall.
We cover the whole of London, so homes in Bromley are well within our area. If you’re unsure about access or parking, mention it when you get in touch.
Orpington: For a flat near St Mary Cray station, fitted cupboards are made in sections sized for the stairs, landings and lift, so measuring the route matters as much as measuring the room. For a family home near Perry Hall Primary School, fitted cupboards can give school bags, shoes and sports kit a proper home.
What affects the price in Bromley
There is no set price, because there is no set room. What affects it comes down to:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- The width and height of the space
- Spray painting or hand painting
- Parking near your home
What goes inside matters as much as the outside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers all add work. We will talk through what you need inside during the design visit, and the quote follows.
What we need to know
Getting some details early makes the visit more useful. Where you can, include:
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Rough sizes, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
The design visit is where every quote starts. We take full measurements, see how true the walls and floors are and work through the design together. Afterwards, we send a written quote for you to look over. To book one, fill in our short enquiry form.
What prompts fitted cupboards
Moving into a flat often shows how little built-in storage there is. A tall cupboard in a hallway or a recess can make a real difference, particularly when it uses the full height of the room.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting in touch:
- A cupboard for the meters with easy access
- A boiler cupboard that keeps access clear
- A linen cupboard on the landing
- A hallway cupboard for coats and shoes
What we do not do
Not everything around fitted cupboards is carpentry, from an electrician to a plumber or an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Here’s what to know:
- Any gas work around the boiler
- Wiring for lights or sockets
- Building work or structural changes
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Boiler and meter cupboards are hard to get right with standard units. Clearances, ventilation and access all matter, and a cupboard made for the spot can allow for them.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Whether the quote follows a visit to your home
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Which parts of the job need an electrician or a plumber
Flats, leases and landlords
In conversions and newer blocks, many internal walls are timber or metal stud with plasterboard. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of, after checking the walls during the design visit.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations, and that’s best sorted before fitting day. We cannot give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
Common questions about fitted cupboards
Can you fit cupboards to walls that are not straight?
Yes. Each cupboard is trimmed to the shape of the wall and set it level on adjustable feet or a plinth. It’s one of the reasons fitted joinery suits period homes.
Does my lease affect fitted furniture?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. Check your lease, as we cannot advise on it.
Who chooses the colour?
You choose it, and we agree it with you before the furniture is finished. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
How are fitted cupboards priced?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Each cupboard is different, so we price it after measuring. To get started, send us a few details through our contact form.
Can you build a cupboard around a boiler?
Yes. We design the cupboard to keep the clearances and ventilation set out in the boiler maker’s instructions, with doors that open wide for servicing. Any work on the boiler itself is for a Gas Safe engineer.
How much time does fitting need?
The time the fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
The furniture is built in sections, sized for the route along with the room itself. At the design visit, we measure the route along with the room itself.
