Fitted wardrobes across the City of London: what to expect

A fitted wardrobe is built into the room itself, running floor to ceiling and wall to wall. There’s no dusty gap on top and no tricky space at the ends. If you are planning fitted wardrobes in the City of London, the first step is a design visit to measure up and talk through the design. Typical reasons to get in touch are musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall and not enough hanging space; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.

In older rooms, the furniture usually has to meet skirting, picture rails, cornice or coving. We cut and scribe the furniture around them on site, so it looks as though it was always there. How long the fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and the fitting days are set out in your quote.

You get in touch and tell us about the bedroom, including any slopes, windows or alcoves.
At the design visit, we measure up and plan the doors and the inside with you. We also look at the way in, in case the sections need to go up narrow stairs.
Your quote follows, with the layout, materials and finish set out.
The wardrobes are built in our workshop, sized to get through your doors and up the stairs.
The wardrobes are fitted in your home, set level and scribed to the walls and ceiling.

How our quotes work

Rooms that aren’t square take more work: walls that lean, floors that slope and sloping ceilings all mean more scribing and cutting. The quote allows for it.

Homes across the City of London and their bedrooms

Many older bedrooms across the City of London keep a chimney breast with an alcove on each side. Where there isn’t one, fitted wardrobes can run along a full wall instead. Each design is scribed and levelled on site.

The biggest shares of homes in the City of London were built between 1945 and 1972 (about 40%) and since 2000 (about 27%), in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. 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, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Bedrooms from that era tend to be regular, so fitted furniture can run wall to wall, fixed to suit the wall. A quarter or more of the homes in the City of London (about 27%) were built since 2000, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Newer homes often have compact bedrooms with plasterboard stud walls, so fitted furniture is fixed to suit the board.

The City of London is part of the area we cover, which takes in all 32 boroughs and the City. Let us know about access and parking when you first get in touch.

City of London: Close to St Alphage Garden? Fitted wardrobes are normally planned on the walls away from the window, so the light and the view stay. If your children go to Fashion Retail Academy or a school nearby, the inside of fitted wardrobes can be laid out with adjustable shelves, so the space keeps up as children grow.

What prompts fitted wardrobes

Sharing a bedroom means sharing the wardrobe. We can plan separate sections for each person, each with the rails, shelves and drawers its owner needs.

Requests we hear often include:

Empty alcoves in the bedroom
A tight bedroom where doors get in the way
Several odd pieces where one run of storage would do
Damp or musty clothes against an external wall

What it costs

There’s no set price, because there’s no set room. What affects it comes down to:

Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
Spray painting or hand painting
Parking and unloading on your street
How easy it is to get the furniture into the room

The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.

Helping us understand the room

These details help when you get in touch:

Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
Rough measurements, even if they’re only to the nearest few centimetres
Whether it’s a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift

What it’s made from

Hanging rails

Long rails need support so they do not bend under heavy coats when it carries winter coats. Rail lengths are planned so they stay straight.

Hand-painted finish

A hand-painted finish often suits wardrobes in older houses. The colour is agreed with you.

Could you do it yourself?

Standard units come in set widths and heights, so there’s often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Furniture we make is built to the room’s own sizes, so it can use the full height and width.

The real difference is in the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. Off-the-shelf furniture can’t typically do that in an older room.

Made for the room, or bought in a box?

Bought wardrobes are made in set sizes, which leaves gaps above and beside them. A fitted wardrobe runs to the ceiling and the walls, so the space is used and there’s nowhere for dust to collect on top.

FAQs: fitted wardrobes in the City of London

How is the price worked out?

Every job is priced for its room: the size, what goes inside, the finish and how square the room is all count. You’ll get a quote in writing once we have measured up.

Is the furniture made to order?

Everything is made at our workshop for your room, then fitted in your home. It is built from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.

Do I need planning permission for fitted furniture?

Not normally. Conservation area controls are mostly concerned with the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.

Do you work outside London?

No. We cover London only: all 32 boroughs and the City of London.

Do you work in the City of London?

Yes. We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, and that includes the City of London.

Can you build wardrobes around a bed?

Yes. Wardrobes can sit either side of the bed with a bridge of cupboards above. We plan it so the bed fits comfortably and the room still feels open.

Can you add sockets inside the units?

No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
