Walk-in wardrobes in Lewisham: how it works
Most designs start with the hanging. Full-length hanging takes coats, dresses and long garments, and two rails stacked one above the other suit shirts, jackets and trousers. The balance of long and double hanging is based on your clothes. Typical reasons to get in touch are long and double hanging planned around your clothes and room for two wardrobes in one space, and the answer is made in our workshop from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
When the fitting is done, we tidy the room and take up the floor coverings. Before we leave, we go over the finished piece together and answer any questions. How long the fitting takes depends on the size of the room and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
- You tell us about the room.
- At the design visit we measure the walls, floor and ceiling at several points, as few rooms are truly square.
- A quote in writing follows.
- We make the walk-in wardrobe in our workshop from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- On fitting day each unit is levelled and scribed to follow the walls.
- Before we leave we go through the doors and drawers with you; new paintwork needs gentle handling while it cures.
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. It is useful to talk about parking at the design visit.

Arranging a design visit
A quote begins with a few details from you: which room it is, rough measurements and a couple of pictures if you can take them. When you are ready, send us a few details through our contact form. We’ll then arrange a design visit and follow it with a written quote.
Local landmarks in New Cross
Our area takes in the homes around Laban Centre, Fordham Park and St. Paul's, among other places. You’ll also find Myatt Garden Primary School (less than half a mile south-east), Addey and Stanhope School (less than half a mile north-east), Wickham Arms (less than half a mile south) and St James's Church (close by, under half a mile north-west). New Cross has its own railway station: New Cross station. Well-known places in the area include Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.1 miles south-east) and Miller General Hospital (0.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include New Cross Gate Cutting.
Bedroom storage across Lewisham
Homes across Lewisham, New Cross, St Johns and Deptford included, have bedrooms with every kind of quirk. Each piece is fitted to the room’s own walls and floor. The paint finish, spray-painted or hand-painted, is agreed with you.
The biggest shares of homes in Lewisham were built before 1919 (about 36%) and between 1919 and 1939 (about 18%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. 6 of the 22 places in Lewisham with their own pages here have their centre inside a conservation area, according to Historic England’s data. The rules mainly cover 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 tell us about parking at the measuring visit.
Our area covers the whole of London, all 32 boroughs and the City, Lewisham included. Wherever you are, the job starts with a design visit.
New Cross: Living in a block of flats near New Cross station? Then each piece is planned so it can be carried up and joined together in the room. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Public Library, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. For a listed home, fixing into original features may need listed building consent.
DIY, flat-pack or bespoke
Bespoke work comes into its own in rooms that aren’t square. Older London rooms tend to have leaning walls, sloping floors and alcoves of different widths.
If you are handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls, because scribing and the right fixings start to matter.
When you need someone else
Some parts of a job need another trade, from an electrician to a plumber or a Gas Safe registered engineer. Here is what to bear in mind:
- Building work to create the room
- Getting consent under your lease
- Curing damp in the walls
Flats, conversions and lettings
In a flat, the route in matters as much as the room. We measure the stairs, landings, lift and doorways as well as the room, so each section is sized to get through.
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Bespoke walk-in wardrobes or ready-made?
Ready-made wardrobe systems are easy to buy and often cheaper, and in a square room they can work. Where walls lean and floors slope, they rarely fit neatly. Ours is built to the room’s real shape.

- Which materials they’ll use, named in the quote
- How doors and drawers are fitted
- Whether the finish is set out in the quote
How we price walk-in wardrobes
To work out the quote, we look at:
- What goes inside: rails, shelves, drawers and dividers
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- How big the furniture is
How it’s painted is part of the price: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Getting in touch
The more you can tell us at the start, the better the design visit goes. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few pictures of the space, taken from the doorway and from each corner
- The type of home and how the room is reached
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Where you live, with the postcode
Photos help us understand the room before we visit. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough measurements. To share them, use our contact form, and we will arrange a design visit.
FAQs: walk-in wardrobes in Lewisham
Do I need the building owner’s consent?
Possibly. A lease can require consent for alterations, including fixing furniture to the walls. We cannot advise on leases, so please check yours.
How is the furniture painted?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
Does someone need to be home during the fitting?
Someone needs to be there to let us in. After that, you do not need to stay in the room, but it helps to be around at the end.
How are walk-in wardrobes priced?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Each walk-in wardrobe is different, so we price it after the design visit. To get started, message us from the contact page.
Do you work on Saturdays?
Yes, by prior arrangement. Tell us when you get in touch if a Saturday suits you best.
How much time does fitting need?
Every room is different. The time the fitting takes depends on the room and how much is fitted into it, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote.
What if the stairs or lift are small?
We plan the route in at the design visit. The stairs, landings, any lift and the doorways are measured, and the furniture is made in sections sized to get through.
