How we make fitted wardrobes for Lambeth
Doors can be hinged or sliding. With hinged doors, you see a full section when you open them, though they need room in front to open. Sliding doors suit tighter rooms, although only part of the wardrobe is open at a time. We weigh them up with you at the measuring visit. Typical reasons to get in touch are a bedroom that never feels tidy and wardrobes that are full to bursting; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Once the main sections are fixed in place, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. Each one is adjusted until the gaps are even and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the wardrobes and the number of doors, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You describe the bedroom and the storage you need.
- We come to measure and talk through hanging heights, doors and drawers, with your clothes in mind.
- A quote in writing follows.
- We then make the wardrobes in our workshop, ready for spraying or for hand painting on site.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, ready to use. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.
What goes into your quote
Access to the room makes a difference too. Several flights of stairs, a small lift or a narrow hall can mean smaller sections and more carrying. The price comes in a written quote, worked out from the measurements and the design you choose.

Fitted wardrobes across Lambeth: local notes
Homes across Lambeth, Stockwell, Kennington and Streatham among them, often have one bedroom that has to do two jobs. The design can help one room work two ways.
The biggest shares of homes in Lambeth were built before 1919 (about 40%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 17%), 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 40% of homes in Lambeth were built before 1919, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Bedrooms in houses of that age often have a chimney breast and alcoves, which suit wardrobes built to their widths, scribed to walls that aren’t straight. About 22% of households in Lambeth live in flats in converted or shared houses, according to Census 2021. In a converted house, rooms can be odd shapes, with new partitions meeting old walls, and the way in often goes up shared stairs. A lease can require consent for alterations, so it’s worth checking yours first.
In London, the route into a home matters as much as the room, so the way in is measured along with the room.
Stockwell: Carlyle's House, about 2.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, a bedroom chimney breast and its alcoves often shape where fitted wardrobes go. Near listed buildings like Stockwell Green United Reformed Church, under half a mile south-east of the centre of Stockwell, older homes may keep original joinery that fitted wardrobes can be designed around. For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent.
Materials and finishes
Hanging rails
We keep the top rail at a height you can reach. Higher space above can hold shelves for things you use less.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, so it’s a good choice for carcasses, shelves and drawer boxes. You can paint the edge or leave the layers showing.
Honest limits
We’d rather be clear about where our work stops:
- Taking out a chimney breast to make space
- Redecorating around the wardrobes
- Any wiring or new sockets (your electrician handles those)
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
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. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
A confident DIYer can manage simple shelves or a standard wardrobe in a square room. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
Flats, blocks and rented homes
A lot of London’s terraced houses are now converted flats, which often brings a shared hall and tight turns on the stairs. We plan the size of each section around it, after measuring the route at the design visit.
If your building is on a red route or a busy main road, getting the furniture from the van to the door needs planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it is worth raising at the design visit.
What prompts fitted wardrobes
Sharing a bedroom means sharing the wardrobe. We can plan separate sections for each person, each with its own mix of hanging, shelves and drawers.
Most of the enquiries we get are about things like these:
- Wasted space beside the chimney breast
- A bedroom that never feels tidy
- Musty smells in a wardrobe on a cold wall
- Clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms
Your questions about fitted wardrobes in Lambeth
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by arrangement. If a Saturday works better for you, say so when you contact us.
Do you work outside London?
No. We only take on work in London, across all the boroughs and the City of London.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician. We plan the furniture around where they’ll go.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
Every job is priced for its room: size, internal fittings, the finish and how tricky the walls are all play a part. The written quote follows the design visit.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. Spray painting gives a smooth, even finish, and hand painting is easy to touch up.
Is the furniture made to order?
We make it in our workshop, to the design and sizes agreed after the design visit. Then we bring it to your home and fit it.
Do I need to be at home on fitting day?
Someone needs to let us in at the start of the day. It’s good to have someone there at the end to look over the work with us.
