Fitted furniture in Hackney

Fitted Wardrobes in Hackney is rarely a catalogue job. You will find mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks and post-war infill in this area, and it moves as it ages. Add high pollution load and sheltered urban humidity to that and paint failure on south-facing sashes and rot at the bottom rail becomes the usual trigger for replacement. Everything we do here comes back to using the full height so nothing is wasted above the rail.

We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.

One thing that catches people out here: large numbers of properties sit in conservation areas with like-for-like replacement conditions.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Hackney are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Nothing in your house is square in Hackney

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.

01

We scribe to the wall

Every panel is cut to the actual line of the plaster, so there is no tapering gap running down the side of the unit.

02

We measure at three heights

Alcoves are routinely 20 to 40mm wider at the bottom than the top. One measurement is how you end up packing the gap out.

03

We finish off site

Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.

“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”

“Finish is better than anything we have had sprayed on site, and it has stayed that way.”

Hackney questions

What if the opening is out of square?

Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.

Do you fit, or supply only?

Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.

Will the finish need maintaining?

A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?

Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.

Do you take a deposit?

Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
