About fitted home offices in Westminster
A spare room often makes the best home office, particularly if it still needs to work as a guest room. We can design desks, shelving and cupboards that leave room for a bed, or with doors that close over the desk when you finish work. We’ll look at how the room is used when we visit in Westminster. Most enquiries start with no way to put work away and a room with two jobs to do, and the answer is built in our workshop from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Every fitting follows the same order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on how much desk, shelving and storage you want, and the fitting days are agreed in your quote.
- You get in touch with a few details about the room. A line on how you work helps too.
- We visit to measure and talk about the equipment you use, and plan where the cables will run.
- Your quote sets out the design, the materials and the finish.
- Your office furniture is made in our workshop, sized for the room, from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We fit it in your home and leave it ready for work, with the cable routes left open.
What goes into your quote
Parking is part of the price picture in London. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It’s useful to talk about parking at the design visit, so we can plan for it.

Arranging a design visit
You do not need exact measurements to get started. We measure everything properly at the measuring visit, along with the walls, floor and ceiling. To get started, message us from the contact page and tell us about the room. The written quote follows the visit.

Fitted home offices across Westminster: local notes
We make fitted home offices for homes across Westminster, in City of Westminster, Marylebone and Soho and beyond. Where the office shares a room, a desk that closes away lets the room go back to its other job. Long shelves are sized so they don’t sag under files and books.
Homes built before 1919 make up about 49% of the housing in Westminster, with about 15% built between 1945 and 1972, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. More than a third of the homes in Westminster (about 49%) were built before 1919, going by the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax figures. In older houses, an alcove or a small back bedroom often makes a good place for a built-in desk. Purpose-built flats are home to about 70% of households in Westminster, the 2021 Census shows. In a block, each section is sized to get up the stairs or into the lift and through the door. Many blocks have rules on lift booking and working hours, so check with the managing agent before fitting day.
Controlled parking zones cover large parts of London, 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 during the design visit.
City of Westminster: For a flat near Bond Street station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If your home is one of the older houses near St Mark's, a small back bedroom can become a home office with a desk under the window.
What it costs
What it costs comes down to the materials and the time involved. The main factors are:
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Parking near your home
- The internal fittings
- Doors and drawers, and how many
Every room is priced on its own, because the size, the layout and the finish all vary. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. The figure comes in your written quote after the design visit.
Helping us understand the room
You don’t need exact measurements or a plan. It’s enough to send:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A few photos of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- Whether it is a house or a flat, and if there are stairs or a lift
It helps to see the room before we come. A few pictures showing the walls, the corners and where the ceiling meets them give us a good feel for the space, along with rough measurements. To share them, use our contact form, and we’ll suggest a time for a design visit.
Looking after your furniture
Most of what helps is simple. Here’s what we suggest:
- Consider doors to hide work at the end of the day
- Mention any parking rules on your street
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Notice where daylight falls at different times
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched in. It’s worth keeping a record of the paint colour. Should you have a question about the office, message us from the contact page and we will help.
Keep cables in their routes rather than pulled across the desk. Wires pulled across an edge can wear it. A little tidying now and then keeps the office calm.
Flat-pack or bespoke?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. If the walls are straight and the space suits standard sizes, it often does the job, and it is easy to buy.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on leases.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. If there is a lift, it may need booking, and its size matters when we plan the sections. Mention it when you contact us.
What it’s made from
Shelves
We can make fixed shelves, adjustable ones, or a mix. Fixed shelves help tall units stay rigid, and adjustable shelves leave room to change.
Spray-painted finish
Spraying gives a smooth, even surface. We spray in the workshop, so the finish is complete before fitting. The colour is agreed with you.
Questions from Westminster
Do you do plastering or decorating?
No. Our work is the furniture, not the walls. We finish the furniture itself, as set out in your quote.
Is an outside wall a problem for fitted furniture?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so ventilation behind and inside the furniture helps. If there is damp, it should be sorted before anything is fitted.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Let us know when you contact us if a Saturday suits you best.
How do you get large furniture into a flat?
It is made in sections, sized for the route not just the room. That is why we measure the stairs, lift and doorways during the design visit.
Do I need permission in a conservation area?
Not typically. Conservation areas mostly control changes to the outside, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. In a listed building, check with the council’s conservation officer before any work.
Is the furniture spray painted or hand painted?
There are two options: spray painting, done in the workshop for a smooth, even finish, or hand painting, which can be done on site. The finish is agreed in your quote.
Do you fit furniture for landlords?
Yes. It works the same way as any job: design visit, written quote, workshop, fitting. If the property is let, the agent can arrange access with the tenants.
