Process overview
Step by step
The six stages of your project
A single alcove wardrobe and a full walk-in dressing room both follow the same six stages.
- 01Day one
Your enquiry
Tell us about your room using our short quote form. Include the type of wardrobe you have in mind, rough sizes and when you’d like it done. We’ll get back to you to arrange a design visit at a time that suits you.
- No obligation
- Photos and inspiration welcome
- Help choosing if you’re unsure
- 02Design visit
Free home consultation
We visit your home to understand how you use the room. We measure width and height at several points, plus depth, skirting, coving, sockets and anything else that affects the design. We also bring finish samples so you can see colours in your own light.
- Measured at multiple points
- Door, finish and handle samples
- Honest advice on what will work best

Walk-through & aftercare
Before we leave, we show you how the doors and drawers adjust and how to care for your finishes. Then we tidy up so the room is ready to use. If anything needs attention later, just get in touch.
- Room left clean and tidy
- Care and adjustment advice
- A clear point of contact afterwards
Installation day
How can you prepare for fitting day?
A little preparation helps installation day run smoothly. Here’s what we suggest, and we’ll go through it with you beforehand too.
Clear a route
A clear path from the front door to the room makes bringing panels in quicker and safer.
Check sockets & switches
Let us know about any sockets, switches or radiators on the wall. The design visit is the best time to mention them.
Plan your day
Someone should be home at the start and for the handover. The time in between is yours.
Pets & children
For everyone’s safety, keep pets and little ones away from the work area while we fit.
Ask anything
Not sure about something? Ask us before the day. Our FAQs page also covers the questions we hear most.
The details that matter
Fitted properly, not just installed
The difference between a wardrobe that looks built-in and one that looks added on is in the finishing.
- Carcasses levelled to compensate for sloping floors
- Scribed fillers tight to walls and ceilings, with no visible gaps
- Door gaps aligned and adjusted to run evenly
- Careful work around skirting, coving and period features
- Fixings suited to your walls, from solid brick to plasterboard
How long does the whole process take?
As a rough guide, most projects take two to six weeks from design sign-off to installation. It depends on the design, the finishes and how busy we are at the time. Walk-in wardrobes and whole-room schemes can take longer. We confirm your timeline in writing with your quote.
How long does installation take on the day?
A typical single-wall bedroom wardrobe is often fitted in one to two days. Larger, multi-wall or walk-in projects take longer. We’ll tell you what to expect before we start.
Do I need to empty the room?
We’ll need clear access to the wall where the wardrobe is going and a clear route through the house. It helps to move small furniture and personal items out of the way beforehand. We’ll protect floors and anything that stays in the room.
Will there be much mess or noise?
Fitting involves some cutting and drilling, so there will be noise at times. We use dust sheets, keep the work area tidy and clean up thoroughly before we leave.
Do you remove old wardrobes?
If you need existing furniture taken out, let us know when you enquire and we’ll include it in your quotation where we can.
Do I need to be home during installation?
It’s helpful for someone to be there at the start, to confirm details, and at the end, for the handover walk-through. Many customers carry on with their day in between.
