Core serviceFitted wardrobes in Romford

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in RM1. 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 Romford

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our RM1 kitchen work is in newer homes: replacing a developer kitchen with one drawn to the room, and fitting cabinetry around fixed services in apartments and conversions. 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 · RM1 design

What Romford homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Romford's 1930s semis, terraces & new-build have three recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on an RM1 project.

A bay window swallows the best wall in the bedroom.
Bay windows Romford design constraint · 01

A bay window swallows the best wall in the bedroom.

The Romford problem

The front bedroom of a Romford 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.

The chimney-breast alcoves are never the same width.
Chimney alcoves Romford design constraint · 02

The chimney-breast alcoves are never the same width.

The Romford problem

Like most period Romford 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 bedrooms lose half the wall to a sloping ceiling.
Loft conversions Romford design constraint · 03

Loft bedrooms lose half the wall to a sloping ceiling.

The Romford problem

A Romford 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 Romford.

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.

Best-suited Metro ranges for RM1

Which Metro ranges fit Romford homes best?

The ranges we recommend more than any others in RM1, 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 Romford homes actually use Metro

Four common Romford wardrobe scenarios.

Most RM1 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 South 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 Romford 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

“They’ve done a great job from start to finish. I’ve had to deal with so many builders, handymen etc. due to a complete house refurbishment and I can honestly say Metro was one of the rarest ones that didn’t cause any headache. We’ve asked them to a wardrobe for the porch and a shoe cabinet opposite to that one but the shoe cabinet area wasn’t ready to be installed yet at the time of delivery so they’ve come back again after a few weeks and completed everything perfectly. I’d like to thank especially the last installation team, sorry don’t know their names.”

NesliopeGoogle review

“Incredible piece of work in terms of design, quality build and installation. This is my second wardrobe from Metro, eventhough you feel it bit expensive but every penny worth it. Highly recommend.”

Girish G BGoogle review

“A wonderful experience from start to finish. I designed four wardrobes — the team's expertise and flexibility were outstanding. Every person I dealt with was warm, professional and genuinely invested in getting it right.”

Romford: common questions

A few things RM1 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 Romford cost?
Most RM1 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-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 Romford and Gidea Park?
Yes. We work across RM1 and RM2, from the town-centre flats to the Gidea Park houses.
