Fitted cupboards across the City of London: what to expect
A utility or boot room has to work hard, every day. Tall cupboards can take the vacuum cleaner, ironing board and cleaning things, with housing for a washing machine or tumble dryer where you want it. Your plumber connects the appliances and your electrician handles any sockets, and we leave room for their work in the design. We make fitted cupboards from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed, and people most often get in touch about a boiler cupboard that keeps access clear and storage for towels and bedding.
Every fitting follows the same order: floors are protected, the sections come in, everything is levelled, scribed to the walls, fixed and finished. Then the room is tidied and we look over the work with you. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- To begin, tell us about the room on our contact form; a brief note on the space and anything in it that needs access is plenty.
- We visit to measure and plan the cupboard so meters, fuse boards and any boiler stay easy to reach.
- You receive a written quote for the cupboards.
- The cupboards are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with the access planned in.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.

Fitted cupboards across the City of London: local notes
Homes across the City of London are full of odd corners, from stair voids to loft eaves. Fitted cupboards are drawn up for the space you have.
About 40% of the homes in the City of London went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 27% since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. More than a third of the homes in the City of London (about 40%) were built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Homes from that era tend to have little built-in storage, so fitted cupboards make a real difference, with fixings chosen for the wall. About 27% of homes in the City of London were built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Homes built since 2000 rarely have much storage, and they tend to have stud walls, so fitted cupboards are designed with fixings to suit.
Getting furniture into a London home takes planning, from narrow halls to lifts and parking, so the way in is measured along with the room.
City of London: Living in a block of flats near London Cannon Street station? Then the route in is measured as well as the room, and the sections are sized to fit it. If you live in a period home close to St Olave Old Jewry, fitted cupboards can fill recesses that are rarely a standard size.
Caring for painted furniture
A few practical points help before and after fitting day. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
- Make a note of what needs a home
- Think about how the cupboards will get in
- Keep boiler vents and meter access clear
- Let us know how parking works on your street
Keep the way to the meters and fuse board clear. Try not to fill the space in front of them, so engineers and meter readers can get to them quickly.
Before the design visit, think about what will go in each cupboard. Coats, shoes, cleaning things and bedding all need different depths and fittings, so it helps to know this early.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Boiler and meter cupboards are hard to get right with standard units. The space needs to suit the boiler’s instructions and leave meters reachable, and a cupboard made for the spot can allow for them.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- Whether they can show you real projects they’ve done
- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Will the doors close with even gaps?

What it’s made from
Shelves
Sagging shelves are avoidable, so we size each one for its span and load.
Spray-painted finish
For a smooth, even look, spray painting is a good choice, and it is finished before fitting day.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
If you live in a flat, getting the furniture in is planned from the start. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways along with the room itself, so each section is sized to get through without a struggle.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them at the design visit.
Questions from the City of London
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
It can be done with some care: ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps avoid condensation and mould. We do not treat damp, so any damp should be sorted before fitting day.
Can you build a cupboard around a boiler?
Yes, provided the cupboard keeps to the boiler maker’s instructions. We plan the space and ventilation around it and make sure an engineer can reach it.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Will the cupboards fit my uneven walls?
Yes, it is something we deal with all the time. Few walls in a period house are straight, so we scribe and level every cupboard.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the job. 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, so you will know before we start.
Can you come on a Saturday?
Yes, by arrangement. Tell us when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
What materials do you use for fitted cupboards?
We use moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, finished by spray painting or hand painting. The materials and finish are agreed in your quote.
