Overview
What is a made-to-measure sliding wardrobe?
A sliding wardrobe has doors that run along a track at the top and bottom of the frame. They open sideways instead of swinging out, so you don’t need to leave clear space in front of them.
Ours are made to measure. That means the frame fits your wall from end to end and from floor to ceiling, with no gaps at the sides or a dusty space on top. We scribe the edges to follow your walls, which matters in older Newcastle homes where walls and floors are rarely straight.
Sliding doors suit most bedrooms, but they are especially useful in compact rooms in terraces, flats and new-build homes across Newcastle. If you prefer doors that open fully, see our hinged door wardrobes.
Sliding vs hinged
Sliding or hinged doors: which suits your room?
Both work well. The right choice depends on your floor space and how you like to use the wardrobe.
| Question | Sliding doors | Hinged doors |
|---|---|---|
| Space needed in front | None, as the doors stay in the frame | Room for the doors to swing open |
| Access to the inside | One section at a time | Everything on view at once |
| Mirrors | Large, full-height panels | Mirrors on individual doors |
| Look | Clean and modern | Classic or modern |
Many people choose sliding doors for a long bedroom wall and hinged doors for alcoves, where narrow doors look better. We can show you both at your free design visit.

Door panels and finishes
Each door is a frame with a panel, so you can mix finishes. You can compare real samples in your room before choosing.

Frames come in a range of metal colours, including silver, champagne and black. Mirror and glass panels have a safety backing, which is important in family homes.
Heavier doors need a stronger track. We choose the track to suit your panels and can add soft-close, so the doors slow down before they meet the frame.

Why it works
Are sliding wardrobes good for small bedrooms?
Yes. They are often the best option when space is tight.
More floor space
There is no door swing, so furniture can sit closer to the wardrobe.
A brighter room
Mirror panels reflect daylight and make the room feel bigger.
Less visual clutter
One run of doors looks tidier than several separate units.
Room for long walls
Sliding doors work well across wide walls where many hinged doors would feel busy.
Installation
How we fit sliding wardrobes in Newcastle homes
Sliding doors need a level track to run smoothly. Many Newcastle houses have uneven floors and ceilings, so we measure at several points and plan the frame around what we find. Our installation process page explains what happens on fitting day.
Measure
We check the width and height in several places and note skirting, coving and sockets.
Plan the inside
Drawers sit behind a single door, so they always open fully.
Fit and level
The frame and track are levelled, and the edges are scribed tight to your walls.
Hang and adjust
We hang the doors and adjust them until they glide and close evenly.

How much does a sliding wardrobe cost?
It depends on the width, the door finish and what goes inside. We give you a clear, itemised quote after a free visit. For a sense of budget, read our costs guide.
Can you fit sliding doors if my floor isn’t level?
Yes. This is common in older Newcastle properties. We level the frame and track so the doors run smoothly.
How many doors will I need?
That depends on the width of the wall. We size the panels so they are easy to move and look balanced.
Do sliding doors block part of the wardrobe?
You open one section at a time. We plan the inside so drawers and everyday items are never stuck behind two doors.
Do you fit sliding wardrobes outside Newcastle?
Yes. We are based in Newcastle and also cover Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and the coast.
Can you replace the doors on my old sliding wardrobe?
Sometimes, depending on the frame and track. Tell us what you have when you get in touch and we’ll explain your options.
