How we make fitted wardrobes for Lewisham
Loft conversions, common in London terraces, often leave sloping ceilings. A fitted wardrobe can follow the slope, with long hanging at the tall end and shelves or drawers where it gets lower. It turns an awkward corner into storage. We make fitted wardrobes from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted, and people most often get in touch about an awkward slope in a loft bedroom and not enough hanging space.
If anything comes up on the day, just ask. Most of the decisions were made during the design visit and set out in your quote, so fitting day is about putting it in place carefully. The time the fitting takes depends on the length of the run, the doors and what goes inside, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
- You describe the bedroom and the storage you need. A rough sketch of the room helps if you have one.
- A design visit follows, where we measure and agree the layout.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote.
- Once you’re happy, the wardrobes are built in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The wardrobes are fitted in your home, ready to use. We adjust the doors so they hang and close evenly.

Fitted wardrobes across Lewisham: local notes
In Lewisham, a spare room often doubles as a study or a guest room. Fitted wardrobes can be planned so the room switches between them, keeping clothes, bedding and everything else out of sight.
The biggest shares of homes in Lewisham were built before 1919 (about 36%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. For carpentry, the era of a house is a useful clue to how square its rooms are and what its walls are made of. Of the 22 places we have local pages for in Lewisham, 6 have their centre inside a conservation area, going by Historic England’s records. Conservation area controls are mainly about the outside of buildings, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. Much of inner London is covered by controlled parking zones, so it’s useful to mention parking at the design visit, and we’ll plan the van around it.
Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones run by the boroughs, and depending on the street, a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension through the council may be needed. Let us know about parking at the design visit.
New Cross: Close to Fordham Park? Keeping fitted wardrobes off the window wall keeps the room bright. If your children go to Myatt Garden Primary School or a school nearby, a mix of drawers and shelves copes with school uniform as well as everything else.
Do you need fitted wardrobes?
The usual reason is simple: there is not enough storage. Clothes spill onto chairs, into spare rooms and under the bed. A fitted wardrobe uses the full height of the wall, so you get more storage from the same floor space.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting in touch:
- Not enough hanging space
- Clothes piled on chairs and in spare rooms
- A room too narrow for hinged doors
- Damp or musty clothes against an external wall
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That is something we plan for in the design.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
What it’s made from
Birch plywood
Wardrobe shelves can carry more weight than you’d think. Birch plywood keeps them flat across wider sections.
Doors and drawer fronts
Drawers can be hidden behind doors or shown as part of the front. Inside drawers keep the front simple.
Flats, leases and landlords
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. An agent can arrange access for you.
For flats on red routes or busy main roads, unloading takes some planning. Red routes are run by TfL and have strict stopping rules, so it’s worth raising at the measuring visit.
Looking after your furniture
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Count how much long hanging and short hanging you need
- Check the route into your flat, not just the room
- Think about whether hinged doors will clear the bed
- Tell us which walls face outside
Painted doors feel dry quickly but take longer to cure fully. For the first while, open and close the doors gently and avoid knocking hangers against the inside.
Keep any ventilation gaps clear. Watch for musty smells or marks on clothes and have the cause looked at early.
Questions we are often asked
Do you move sockets or add lighting?
No. Sockets, switches and lighting are for your electrician. We’ll design around them.
What are your fitted wardrobes made from?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, each used where it suits the job best. Your quote sets out the materials.
How is the inside of the wardrobe planned?
It’s worked out with you when we measure, based on what you wear and how much of it there is. Some shelves can be adjustable so the layout can change.
Can you make fitted wardrobes for a home in Lewisham?
Yes. Lewisham is part of the area we cover. To arrange a design visit, send us a few details through our contact form.
How do you get fitted wardrobes into a flat?
The wardrobes are made in sections sized to get up the stairs, into the lift and through the doors. That is why we measure the route, not just the room. If you’re in a leasehold flat, check your lease before fixing furniture to walls.
How much will my fitted wardrobe cost?
It depends on the size, the number of doors and drawers, the internal fittings and the finish, along with access and parking. The price comes in a quote in writing after the design visit.
How is the furniture painted?
There are two options: a spray finish from the workshop, which is smooth and even, or hand painting, which can be done in your home. The finish is agreed in your quote.
