A freestanding wardrobe is a piece of furniture. An integrated wardrobe is part of the building — it runs to the ceiling line, follows the skirting, absorbs the plaster tolerance and finishes flush with the wall beside it. That only works if the wall, the floor and the ceiling were drawn together with the wardrobe, by the same team, before either was built. It is the reason we deliver wardrobes inside a renovation rather than as a product on its own.
Carcasses, fronts, internal fittings, hardware, lighting and installation together in one itemised quotation.
We count what you own — hanging metres, shoe pairs, folded stacks, luggage — and the internal layout is drawn from that number.
Ceiling levels, lighting circuits, sockets and floor finishes are coordinated against the wardrobe drawing before first fix.
We return to adjust doors, drawers and shadow gaps once the building has settled and the finishes are complete.
Before anything is drawn we establish how much you actually have to store, and of what kind. Most wardrobes fail not because they are badly made but because they were sized by eye — too much hanging, not enough drawer, and nowhere at all for the things nobody mentions.
Full-height runs drawn to the ceiling line, scribed to the wall and finished with consistent shadow gaps. Handleless where specified, with the reveal itself doing the work — which only holds if the carcass is level and the wall behind it is flat.
A dressing room is a small room where every surface is furniture, so the room and the fit-out have to be drawn as one thing. Lighting, ventilation, mirrors and circulation matter as much as the storage — a beautiful dressing room you cannot open two doors in at once is a failed one.
The inside is what you touch every day and what wears out first. We specify hinges, runners and lifts by manufacturer and model, rated for the actual door weight rather than the nearest catalogue number, and we fit them ourselves.
Wardrobe lighting is an electrical layout, not an accessory. Drivers need accessible positions, sensors need door swings, and none of that can be added after the plaster — so it is drawn with the wardrobe and installed at first fix.
Everything is named in the specification by product and finish, then procured through us at trade terms and included in the price. We use board, edging and hardware we have watched age on real projects — and nothing is substituted between the drawing and the delivery.
Ceilings that fall, walls that bow and floors that rise are normal in any building. When the wardrobe is drawn with the room, those tolerances are designed out. When it is ordered afterwards, they turn into packers, filler strips and a shadow gap that changes width across the run.
Fitted furniture fails at the handovers — between the survey and the drawing, the drawing and the workshop, the workshop and the site. Every one of those handovers is inside our own company.
Carcasses set out, internals fitted, fronts hung, and the same room finished. No stock footage and no other company's work.
The same drawing standard and the same fitters, whether it is a whole dressing room or a run of storage in a hallway.
Each installation below sits inside a renovation we delivered in full — walls, ceilings, floors and circuits included.
All labour and all materials — carcasses, fronts, glazing, internal fittings, hinges, runners, lighting, drivers and installation — in one itemised quotation.
There are no provisional sums and no shopping list for you to chase. If it is named in the specification, it is in the price.
No. An integrated wardrobe depends on the wall behind it being flat, the floor being level and the ceiling holding a line — none of which we control if somebody else built them.
We deliver wardrobes as part of a renovation we complete ourselves, which is the only way the warranty means anything.
By counting. We go through what you own — hanging metres, folded stacks, shoe pairs and their heights, bags, luggage, seasonal items — and the internal layout is drawn from that number with an allowance for growth.
It is the single most common reason a wardrobe disappoints, and it costs nothing to get right on paper.
Either, but handleless is less forgiving. With no handle, the reveal between the doors is the detail, and it will show every millimetre of drift across a long run.
That is achievable when the carcasses are levelled properly against a wall we prepared ourselves — less so when the run is fitted into somebody else's plasterwork.
Doors and drawers are adjusted after installation, again before handover, and covered by the four-year warranty afterwards. Buildings move slightly in the first year and hardware is designed to be re-adjusted.
One call is enough — there is no argument about whether the fault lies with the fit-out or the wall, because they were both ours.
