Our fitted cupboards across Wandsworth
A fitted cupboard is built for one space and nowhere else. It runs from the floor to the ceiling, or to whatever height suits the spot, and it’s trimmed to the walls so there are no awkward gaps. Hallways, landings, utility rooms, boot rooms and alcoves all make good homes for one. The inside is planned around what you need to keep there. We make fitted cupboards from moisture-resistant MDF and strong birch plywood, with a painted finish, and the usual reasons to get in touch are a utility room with proper storage and landing shelves for bedding and towels.
With the carcasses fixed and level, any doors go on and any drawers or lids are fitted. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly. The time the fitting takes depends on how many cupboards there are and where they go, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- We start with the space and what you want to store, including anything awkward like a boiler or meter.
- At the design visit we measure up and look at the walls, floor and ceiling. Doors, shelves and rails are agreed then too.
- We send a written quote with the design, materials and finish, ready for you to check.
- We build the cupboards in our workshop, using moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit them in your home, scribed to the walls and set level.

Fitted cupboards for homes across Wandsworth
Homes across Wandsworth are full of odd corners, from stair voids to loft eaves. Fitted cupboards are drawn up for the space you have.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 44% of the housing in Wandsworth, with about 21% built since 2000, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. About 44% of homes in Wandsworth were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Houses of that age have lots of recesses, from hallway nooks to alcoves, and walls that are rarely straight. Purpose-built flats are home to about 48% of households in Wandsworth, according to Census 2021. 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 Wandsworth, from Victorian terraces to new-build flats. The process is the same wherever you are: a design visit, a written quote, then making and fitting.
Clapham Junction: If you live in a flat close to Clapham Junction station, each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. For families living near Christ Church CofE Primary School, deep drawers suit the bulky things families collect, from scooters to swimming kit.
Materials and finishes
Moisture-resistant MDF
MDF gives a smooth surface for a painted finish, and the moisture-resistant grade copes with damper spots.
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting in the room lets the cupboards match the surrounding woodwork and makes later touch-ups easy.
Why people ask for fitted cupboards in Wandsworth
Standard cupboards don’t sit well in many period homes. Uneven floors and walls that are not square leave gaps at the sides and top that collect dust and look untidy. A built-in cupboard follows the room instead.
Common reasons to get in touch include:
- A hallway cupboard for coats and shoes
- Using the full height of a room
- Making use of an tricky alcove or corner
- Cupboards that suit a period house
Honest limits
Before you plan the job, it is useful to know what we do not do:
- Any plumbing in a utility room
- Any gas work around the boiler
- Building work or structural changes
What it costs
There is no set price, because there is no set room. The things that affect it are:
- How square the room is
- Doors and drawers, and how many
- Whether you choose a spray or hand-painted finish
- The overall size of the piece
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so we may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a suspended bay. It’s useful to talk about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.
Getting in touch
Getting a few details early makes the visit more useful. If you can, send:
- Your postcode and the borough
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- The type of home and how the room is reached
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space. To send them over, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Standard cupboards come in set widths and heights, so there’s normally a gap at the side or a space above. A fitted cupboard can run wall to wall and floor to ceiling, which can add a good deal of storage.

Questions from Wandsworth
Can you build a cupboard over the fuse board and meters?
Yes. We can build a cupboard that hides them neatly without getting in the way of access. We don’t move meters or fuse boards; that’s for your supplier or an electrician.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two choices: 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.
Will a fitted cupboard work on a sloping floor?
Yes. We scribe each cupboard to follow the wall and levelled with a plinth or adjustable feet. It’s one of the reasons fitted joinery suits period homes.
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. Leases vary, and some require the building owner’s consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on your lease, so check it or ask your managing agent.
How much time does fitting need?
How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the cupboards and the room, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote. We will talk it through at the design visit.
Can you fit furniture on an external wall?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps to avoid condensation. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you have chosen.
