Fitted wardrobes in Woking

The principal-bedroom picture in a recent moving-home enquiry was taken from an angle. The client could not provide a straight-on view, but it was enough to start a design conversation. We had also asked for floor plans and inspiration images. That enquiry from our wider work covered wardrobes as well as media walls in other rooms.

If you are waiting for access to a home in Woking, you do not need perfect photographs to begin. Send what you have and tell us when a visit is possible. We can discuss ideas and a guide price; the fitted dimensions still come from our survey. A floor plan cannot tell us how much a wall leans or how the new doors will meet the ceiling.

A pair of alcoves can look equal from the doorway and still measure differently at the top and bottom. We measure them separately rather than ordering two matching boxes. You can keep a consistent door style while using the available width differently inside each cabinet.

A slope needs the same care. Put hanging where there is enough height, then check how you would reach shelves or drawers further into the lower section. Where the wardrobe meets a cornice, we agree the top rail and scribed junction before manufacture. That avoids leaving the finishing detail unresolved until fitting day.

We build hinged and sliding wardrobes. Hinged doors let you open a whole section, but their swing needs to clear the bed and bedside furniture. Photograph that side of the room too. A close-up of the empty wall leaves out the obstruction that might decide the door type.

Sliding doors avoid an outward swing, though part of the wardrobe stays covered when a door moves across. Take an internal drawer: its full width must be exposed before it can pull out. We check the door openings and drawer positions together on the drawing.

Before the visit, look at what is overflowing in your current wardrobe. It may be folded clothes rather than hanging space. Long coats need a different arrangement from shirts, and a shelf that works for shoes might be awkward for a stack of knitwear.

We work through those quantities with you. Keep everyday items at a comfortable height and reserve harder-to-reach cupboards for things you use less often. If two people share the wardrobe, their sides do not have to contain the same rails and drawers, even when the closed doors match.

A drawing of the doors does not tell you how many drawers are inside or how the cabinetry meets an uneven ceiling. We agree the interiors, finish and fitting details with the quotation. If you change from a simple hanging bay to a bank of drawers, we can show you what that changes in the price.

A single wardrobe wall is also a different brief from a full dressing room. In a walk-in layout, the space between facing wardrobes matters as much as their depth. We establish which project you need at the first conversation so the guide price is useful.
