What Metro manufactures for South Woodford.
Three product categories, made in one workshop. Click through to browse the full range.
Fitted Wardrobes
The most common job we do in E18. 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.
Fitted Kitchens & Utilities
We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our E18 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.
Hand-painted in-frame or slab fronts, soft-close drawers, dovetailed solid-oak boxes available.
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.
Integrated LED lighting, hidden cable management, matched to existing joinery.
What South Woodford homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.
South Woodford's Edwardian & 1930s homes have three recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on an E18 project.
A bay window swallows the best wall in the bedroom.
The front bedroom of a South Woodford 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.
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.
Like most period South Woodford 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.
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.
A South Woodford 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.
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.
How Metro works with South Woodford.
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.
Which Metro ranges fit South Woodford homes best?
The ranges we recommend more than any others in E18, based on what the area's property actually demands.
Hinged Shaker
Best for semisOur default for period and inter-war bedrooms, painted in any of our 100+ colours, sitting neatly into bays and alcoves.
Loft & Eaves
Best for conversionsAngled units scribed to the roof pitch for loft bedrooms, turning the low eaves into drawers and storage.
Built-In
Best for alcovesChimney-breast alcove wardrobes templated individually, filled floor-to-ceiling with no filler strips.
Sliding Wardrobes
Best for small roomsWhere a back bedroom is tight, floor-to-ceiling sliders avoid door swing and add a mirror for light.

Four common South Woodford wardrobe scenarios.
Most E18 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.
Front bedroom with a splayed bay
The situation: A family on George Lane 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.
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.
Loft-conversion main bedroom under the slope
The situation: A new South Woodford 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.
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.
Trusted by London homeowners
“Good price, great team and good quality work. I liked to work with the whole Metro team for my sliding wardrobe. They provided full support from fitted design, pricing and until assembly with no hassle. They also provided shorter lead time compare to others. Highly recommended.”
“We had 2 wardrobes and a dressing table fitted from Metro. The fitters were very friendly and professional. The fitting team was also knowledgeable and they finished everything sooner than expected. The dressing table was left off of the order, but has been ordered and fitted in few days. Really impressed with the turnaround time with Metro. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend them.”
“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.”
