Fitted wardrobes

Common questions

Do I need to empty the room first?

The wall we are building against needs to be clear, and the bed usually needs pulling away from it. Everything else can stay where it is if it is covered. We will tell you at the measure-up exactly what needs moving, so you are not shifting furniture on the morning.

Can you build round a sloping ceiling or a boiler cupboard?

Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons people ring. Both get measured properly and the carcasses are cut to suit, rather than ordered in standard sizes and packed out with filler.

Sliding doors or hinged?

Hinged look better and cost less, but they need swing room. In a narrow bedroom, or where the bed sits close to the wardrobe, sliders are usually the right answer even though they take up internal depth. We will tell you which your room can take.

What happens if the wall is not straight?

That is the normal case, not the exception. The filler strips get cut to follow the wall, so the gap is not there to see. It is part of the job and it is in the price, not an extra that appears later.

Will it be painted?

Doors come finished from the range you pick. Where we build carcass or filler work that needs painting, say so at the measure-up and we will either price it in or leave it prepared for your decorator.
