Fitted cupboards across Greenwich: what to expect
Gas meters, electricity meters and fuse boards tend to be where you’d least like them, under the stairs, in a hallway or beside the front door. A fitted cupboard can hide them neatly and still keeps access clear. Engineers and meter readers will need access, so we design doors or removable panels that make that easy. We make fitted cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are using the full height of a room and cupboards that suit a period house.
You won’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in, and the room should already be cleared. From there, we protect the floors, bring the furniture in and get on with the fitting. How long fitting takes depends on the number of cupboards and the space they fit into, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You let us know where the cupboards should go and what they need to hold, including anything tricky like a boiler or meter.
- We visit to measure and check how level the floor and walls are.
- We send a quote in writing with the design, materials and finish, ready for you to check.
- We build the cupboards in our workshop.
- Fitting day: the cupboards are fitted and trimmed to the room. A hand-painted finish is applied on site, if you chose one.
What goes into your quote
Rooms that are not square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it, written once we have measured up.

Getting a quote
Getting a quote starts with a few details: which room it is, rough sizes and a couple of pictures if you can take them. When you’re ready, fill in our short enquiry form. We will then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Landmarks near Plumstead
Around Plumstead, we cover homes near Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, St John's Church and Plumstead Common and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The Queens Arms (a few minutes’ walk north-west), Plumstead Manor School (under half a mile south-east) and South Rise Primary School (within half a mile south-east). There is a railway station in Plumstead itself: Plumstead station. Nearby you’ll also find British Hospital for Mothers and Babies (1.3 miles west) and Gallions Reach Shopping Park (1.6 miles north).
Fitted storage across Greenwich
From Plumstead, Eltham and Woolwich to the quieter streets, homes across Greenwich have tricky spaces worth using. It could be beneath the stairs, in a window bay, in a hallway or in the eaves. Fitted cupboards are designed for the space as it is.
Homes built since 2000 make up about 26% of the housing in Greenwich, with about 22% built before 1919, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 26% of homes in Greenwich were built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Newer homes often have little built-in storage, and their walls are usually plasterboard on studs, so fitted cupboards are designed with fixings to suit. Purpose-built flats are home to about 43% of households in Greenwich, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Building management rules on lifts, deliveries and working hours are worth checking early.
We make fitted furniture for every kind of home in Greenwich, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. Wherever you live, it starts with a visit and a quote.
Plumstead: For a flat near Plumstead station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. For families living near South Rise Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit.
When is bespoke worth it?
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that are not square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
Pricing fitted cupboards in Greenwich
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The number of doors and drawers
- Parking near your home
- Access to the room, such as stairs, lifts and narrow halls
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Where you live, with the postcode
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
The quote is built from the design visit. We measure the room properly, check how the walls and floors run and talk through the design with you. A quote in writing follows the visit for you to look over. To arrange the visit, message us from the contact page.
The problems fitted cupboards solve
A new utility room or boot room often prompts the call. There are appliances, coats, boots and cleaning things to fit in, and fitted cupboards can bring order to them.
Here’s what fitted cupboards can help with:
- A neat cupboard around the boiler
- Cupboards that sit well with skirting and coving
- Cupboards for a utility or boot room
- Storage for towels and bedding
Flats, leases and landlords
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We cannot advise on your lease.
Blocks of flats often have their own rules on lift bookings, entry systems and times for trades. Let us know about them during the design visit, so fitting day is planned around them.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Off-the-shelf cupboards are quicker to get and normally cost less, and in a square room they can work well. Where walls lean and floors slope, they rarely sit flush. A fitted cupboard costs more but follows the room.
Before you hire any carpenter

- Do they scribe the furniture to the walls?
- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote

Your questions about fitted cupboards in Greenwich
What happens during the design visit?
We take full measurements, look at the walls and floors and work through the design together. Access and parking are worth talking about too, and afterwards we send a written quote.
How long will the cupboards take to fit?
How long the fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two ways to finish it: spray painted or hand painted. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Can you fit cupboards to walls that are not straight?
Yes. Each cupboard is trimmed to the shape of the wall and levelled with a plinth or adjustable feet. That is one of the main reasons to choose fitted cupboards in an older house.
Is it possible to 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, and the doors open fully for servicing. Any work on the boiler itself is for a Gas Safe engineer.
How much does a fitted cupboard cost?
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Each cupboard is different, so we price it after measuring. To get started, drop us a line using the contact form.
Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?
Not normally. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different: check with the council’s conservation officer first.
