Local service · NE6 & NE7
Many Heaton homes are Tyneside flats and red-brick terraces with small bedrooms. We design fitted wardrobes that make good use of box rooms, chimney recesses and short walls.
An open niche breaks up a run of doors. It gives everyday shoes and bags a place of their own.
Local service
Heaton is in Newcastle’s east end, across parts of NE6 and NE7. It runs from Jesmond Dene and Armstrong Park across to Byker and Walker. The streets off Chillingham Road and Heaton Road are mostly late Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and many are Tyneside flats.
A Tyneside flat is a pair of homes, one upstairs and one down, with front doors side by side. Bedrooms are a fair height but often small, and doors, windows and fireplaces leave little clear wall. Sliding door wardrobes help here because they need no room to swing open.
Chimney recesses are useful too. A pair of alcove wardrobes turns them into deep cupboards without taking up floor space. In a small room the inside matters as much as the doors, so we plan the hanging, shelves and drawers around what you own.
Homes we design for
These are the homes we see most often in Heaton, and how we tend to plan for each one.
Upper flats are reached by a straight internal stair, and lower flats have rooms off a hallway. Both tend to have compact bedrooms with walls broken up by fireplaces and doors.
Often suitsAlcove wardrobes, sliding doors, units made in sections
Two-storey terraces usually have a small back bedroom or box room. Some also have a loft conversion with sloping ceilings at the top.

Wardrobe solutions
The designs we suggest most often in NE6 and NE7. Each one is made to measure.
Doors that slide rather than swing, so the bed can sit closer to the wardrobe.
Deep storage built into the recesses on either side of a chimney breast.
Wall-to-wall storage that keeps a compact room tidy and looks like part of the house.
Sized around radiators, stair bulkheads and awkward corners in box rooms.
Hanging space and drawers that fit under the eaves of a loft conversion.
Slim drawers, overbed cupboards and bedside units that free up floor space.

Installation coverage
We fit wardrobes all over Heaton, from the streets off Chillingham Road up to the semis of High Heaton. We also work in nearby Byker, Walker, Walkergate and the Ouseburn. We are based in Newcastle, so a visit is easy to arrange.
Many terraced streets are narrow, parking can be busy and many houses have back lanes. We talk about loading, parking and the stairs up to your bedroom at the design visit. We also cover nearby Jesmond and Gosforth.
Wardrobes are made in sections and put together in the room, so long stairs are fine.
We agree where to park and load with you before fitting day.
We check door, radiator and bed positions so the wardrobe suits how you use the room.
Nearby areas
We also cover Newcastle upon Tyne and towns across Tyneside, Wearside and County Durham.
Yes. These bedrooms rarely have a clear wall, so we design around the fireplace, door and window. Using the chimney recesses and choosing sliding doors often gives you the most storage.
Often the box room gains the most. A shallow wardrobe can run wall to wall and floor to ceiling, and we can build over a stair bulkhead. With a well-planned interior, the room becomes a usable bedroom or dressing room.
Yes. We make every wardrobe in sections that are easy to carry. They are put together in the room, so narrow stairs and tight turns are not a problem.
Yes. Heaton has plenty of shared and rented homes, and landlords often want storage that saves space. We usually suggest hard-wearing finishes and simple interiors that suit any tenant.
As a rough guide, allow a few weeks from signing off the design. A typical bedroom wall is often fitted in a day or two. Your quote confirms the timeline, and our installation process page sets out each step.
It depends on the size, doors, finish and interior. We price each room after a free visit, and Our costs guide goes through the main price factors.
