Core service Fitted wardrobes in Orpington

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in BR6. 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.

Whole-home commissions Fitted kitchens in Orpington

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our BR6 kitchen work is in semi-detached and detached family houses: kitchens moving into a rear extension, kitchen-diners, larders and utility rooms drawn around the way the house is used. 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 · BR6 design

What Orpington homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Orpington's 1930s semis & period homes have three recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on a BR6 project.

Bay windows Orpington design constraint · 01

A bay window swallows the best wall in the bedroom.

The Orpington problem

The front bedroom of an Orpington house is often dominated by a splayed bay window. It is the obvious wall for a wardrobe, but a standard unit either blocks the window or leaves awkward dead returns to each side.

Metro's design answer

We fit floor-to-ceiling wardrobes tight to each side wall flanking the bay, with a low fitted seat and drawers across the bay itself. The window stays clear and the whole wall works as one run.

Chimney alcoves Orpington design constraint · 02

The chimney-breast alcoves are never the same width.

The Orpington problem

Like most period Orpington terraces, the back bedroom has a chimney breast with an alcove either side, and the two are rarely equal. One standard carcase for both leaves filler strips on one side and a unit that will not shut on the other.

Metro's design answer

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

Loft conversions Orpington design constraint · 03

Loft bedrooms lose half the wall to a sloping ceiling.

The Orpington problem

An Orpington loft conversion adds a bedroom but a sloping ceiling that cuts the usable wall height in half. Freestanding wardrobes simply will not stand under the slope.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We scribe the wardrobe into the eaves, following the roof pitch so units run from floor to slope with no gap above. The lowest part becomes drawers and shoe storage instead of dead space.

From our workshop to your home

How Metro works with Orpington.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best-suited Metro ranges for BR6

Which Metro ranges fit Orpington homes best?

The ranges we recommend more than any others in BR6, based on what the area's property actually demands.

Hinged Shaker

Best for semis

Our default for period and inter-war bedrooms, painted in any of our 100+ colours, sitting neatly into bays and alcoves.

Loft & Eaves

Best for conversions

Angled units scribed to the roof pitch for loft bedrooms, turning the low eaves into drawers and storage.

Built-In

Best for alcoves

Chimney-breast alcove wardrobes templated individually, filled floor-to-ceiling with no filler strips.

Sliding Wardrobes

Best for small rooms

Where a back bedroom is tight, floor-to-ceiling sliders avoid door swing and add a mirror for light.

How Orpington homes actually use Metro

Four common Orpington wardrobe scenarios.

Most BR6 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.

Scenario 01

Front bedroom with a splayed bay

The situation: A family on the High Street wanted storage on the bay wall. A chain quote blocked half the window with a standard unit.

What they got: Two floor-to-ceiling wardrobes flanking the bay with a fitted window seat and drawers across it. Hand-painted, brass handles. The bay stays the feature of the room.

Range: Shaker Project size: ~£5,200

Scenario 02

Back bedroom with unequal chimney alcoves

The situation: Owners frustrated that two previous quotes used one carcase size for both alcoves, leaving gaps.

What they got: Each alcove templated separately and filled floor-to-ceiling under the picture rail. Two carcases that line up perfectly from the doorway.

Range: Built-In Project size: ~£4,300

Scenario 03

Loft-conversion main bedroom under the slope

The situation: A new Orpington loft bedroom where freestanding wardrobes could not stand under the sloping ceiling.

What they got: Wardrobes scribed into the eaves following the roof pitch, the low end built out as drawers. Floor-to-slope, no dead space.

Range: Loft & Eaves Project size: ~£6,100

Scenario 04

Tight box bedroom needing mirror sliders

The situation: A small third bedroom where hinged doors fouled the bed.

What they got: Floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobe with one mirror panel and internal drawers. Built wall-to-wall with no door swing.

Range: Sliding Door Project size: ~£4,000

“Nitish and the team were great. On time delivery and installations great service!”

Nathan ZalcbergGoogle review

“Excellent Job from Metro Wardrobes. Not cheap but you definitely get your money worth, plus a 10 year guarantee. The builder Kinjal along with his colleague Naitik performed very well and completed essentially everything in one day. They had to come back the next day to install handles to drawers and doors as my personal selection was not available in time but they came in within 24hrs of the wardrobe installation. Happy with everything and hopefully I will not need to use the guarantee.”

ReggieGoogle review

“Top company. Very professional. Super clean work. The build quality. The design phase and customer service is the best around. They accommodated all our requirements and the customer care after sales was what made them stand out. Don’t hesitate to go with a company that prices match beat the best.”

Orpington: common questions

A few things BR6 clients tend to ask.

Can you fit a wardrobe around the bay window in my house?

Yes. We build floor-to-ceiling wardrobes tight to each side wall flanking the bay, with a low fitted seat and drawers across the bay itself. The window stays clear and the whole wall becomes one run.

My chimney-breast alcoves are different widths. Will it still look even?

That is normal in period terraces. We template each alcove separately and build two different carcases, both filled floor-to-ceiling, so they read as a matched pair even though the sizes differ.

Can you fit wardrobes into my loft conversion with its sloping ceiling?

Yes. We scribe the units into the eaves following the roof pitch, so they run from floor to slope with no gap above. The lowest part becomes drawers and shoe storage.

Will the panels get up to a loft room on a narrow 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 Orpington cost?

Most BR6 projects fall between £3,500 and £7,500, depending on size, range, finish and internal fit-out. Loft and bay projects sit a little higher. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you sign.

What's the difference between Metro and a national chain?

We make in London, twenty-five 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 all of Orpington, BR6?

Yes, across the area from the High Street and Crofton through to Chelsfield and Green Street Green.
