Core serviceFitted wardrobes in Cambridge

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in CB1. Six door collections across hinged, sliding and walk-in builds. Every unit is cut to the room's actual dimensions and delivered in sections small enough for a narrow staircase. Where original cornicing exists, the wardrobe stops below it with a clean shadow gap.

18mm carcasses, doors from our six collections, painted in any of our 100+ colours.

Whole-home commissionsFitted kitchens in Cambridge

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our CB1 kitchen work is in period houses: galley kitchens being opened into the dining room, side-return extensions, and cabinetry that has to slot in around the original chimney breast and services. We build the cabinetry. You choose worktops, appliances and splashbacks.

Living & Working Spaces

A category that's grown a lot since 2020. Media walls in living rooms, home offices in reception rooms, alcove cabinets flanking original fireplaces, full bedroom suites. Most of these come up as a second project once the wardrobes are in.

London manufacturing · CB1 design

What Cambridge homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Cambridge's period housing is full of original features people want to keep. These are the three constraints that come up on almost every CB1 project, and how our workshop handles them.

Tall sash windows and shutters have to stay clear.
Period properties Cambridge design constraint · 01

Tall sash windows and shutters have to stay clear.

The Cambridge problem

A Cambridge bedroom is usually built around a tall sash window, sometimes with the original shutters still boxed into the reveal. A standard wardrobe along that wall covers the shutter box or fouls the sash.

Metro's design answer

We build the wall as one integrated run: floor-to-ceiling wardrobes tight to each side wall, scribed to stop at the shutter box, with a low fitted drawer-and-seat unit under the window between them.

No two chimney-breast alcoves are the same width.
Chimney breasts Cambridge design constraint · 02

No two chimney-breast alcoves are the same width.

The Cambridge problem

Almost every Cambridge terrace has a chimney breast in the principal bedroom with an alcove either side, and the two are never equal. A single standard carcase for both leaves gaps and filler strips.

Metro's design answer

Each alcove is templated on its own and filled floor-to-ceiling, wall to chimney breast. Two different carcases that read as a balanced pair.

Lower-ground conversions lose height and gain a damp wall.
Garden flats Cambridge design constraint · 03

Lower-ground conversions lose height and gain a damp wall.

The Cambridge problem

Many Cambridge houses are split into flats, and the lower-ground garden flat has reduced ceiling height around 2.3m and an external wall that can carry damp. An off-the-shelf wardrobe is the wrong height and traps moisture.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We build wall-to-wall and to the real 2.3m height, with a ventilated back so air moves behind the cabinets, scribing the run around any vault recess and shelving it out as storage.

From our workshop to your home

How Metro works with Cambridge.

Four stages from your first phone call to the day we leave your bedroom cleaner than we found it.

01

Design visit at home

A designer comes to you, measures the room properly, asks how you actually use it and sketches the layout on the spot. Free. No deposit. No pressure.

02

Quote and samples

You get a written, itemised quote. Hand-drawn elevations. Physical samples of the doors, paints and handles you're deciding between. Take your time with it.

03

Built in Wembley

Once you sign off the design, your wardrobe is cut, assembled, painted and quality-checked at our HA9 workshop. Built to your room. Not assembled from standard-size carcases.

04

Fitted by our own team

Same Metro team, never subcontractors. Floor protection down before anything else. Installation completed in one to four days. Room left swept. 10-year guarantee starts the day we leave.

How Cambridge homes actually use Metro

Four common Cambridge wardrobe scenarios.

Most CB1 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.

Scenario 01

Terrace bedroom with tall sash and shutters

The situation: A couple near Mill Road with original shutters they wanted kept. A chain quote would have boarded over the shutter box.

What they got: Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes either side of the sash, scribed to the shutter box, with a fitted drawer-and-seat run under the window. Shutters still fold, sash still slides.

Range: Heritage Painted Project size: ~£5,400
Scenario 02

Back bedroom with unequal chimney alcoves

The situation: Owners who had been told both alcoves were the same size when they clearly were not.

What they got: Each alcove templated separately and filled floor-to-ceiling under the picture rail. Two carcases that read as a matched pair.

Range: Built-In Project size: ~£4,200
Scenario 03

Lower-ground garden flat with a low ceiling

The situation: A garden flat with a 2.3m ceiling and a slightly damp front wall by the vault.

What they got: A wall-to-wall run built to 2.3m with a ventilated back, scribed around the vault and shelving it out. No trapped damp, no wasted corners.

Range: Sliding Door Project size: ~£6,000
Scenario 04

Period conversion needing a compact dressing area

The situation: A one-bed conversion where the bedroom had an awkward return beside the chimney.

What they got: A fitted run turning the corner around the chimney return, hanging plus drawers, hand-painted to match the period trim.

Range: Shaker Project size: ~£4,800

Cambridge: common questions

A few things CB1 clients tend to ask.

Can you fit wardrobes around the original sash windows and shutters?
Yes. We measure the shutter box and window reveal and stop the wardrobe run at that line, scribed with a shadow gap, so the shutters still fold and the sash still slides.
My chimney-breast alcoves are different widths. Will it still look even?
We template each alcove separately and build two different carcases, both filled floor-to-ceiling, so they read as a balanced pair even though the sizes differ.
I'm in a lower-ground garden flat with a low ceiling and a damp wall. Can you help?
Yes. We build wall-to-wall to the real 2.3m height with a ventilated back so air moves behind the cabinets, and scribe the run around any vault recess, shelving it out as storage.
Will the wardrobe panels get up a narrow period staircase?
Yes. We measure the staircase and turns on the visit, then cut each carcase into 400mm sections small enough to carry up. Our fitters assemble them in the room.
How much does a fitted wardrobe in Cambridge cost?
Most CB1 projects fall between £3,800 and £8,500, depending on size, range, finish and internal fit-out. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you sign.
What's the difference between Metro and a national chain?
We make in London, fifty-six miles away in Wembley, not a Midlands factory. Every piece is cut for your exact room, and the team that designs, builds and fits is all ours, with no subcontractors.
Do you cover Cambridge for period and bespoke projects?
Yes. Cambridge is within our wider coverage for whole-home and bespoke commissions; we work around original sashes, shutters and cornicing, and fit with our own team.
