Our workshop sits ten miles from SW8, about a 28-minute drive most of the day. Close enough that a designer can come to you, your wardrobe can be built that same week, and a fitter can return for any small adjustment without it becoming a project.

Serving Vauxhall · SW8

Fitted furniture for Vauxhall, made ten miles away in Wembley.

Vauxhall and Nine Elms are south London's tower district. New-build apartment blocks along the river and the Embassy quarter, alongside Victorian terraces in the older streets. The new homes bring stud walls, services bulkheads and open-plan living. Metro covers Vauxhall from its Wembley HA9 workshop and templates every piece to your exact room.

Core serviceFitted wardrobes in Vauxhall

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in SW8. Ten ranges 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 Georgian staircase. Where original cornicing exists, the wardrobe stops below it with a clean shadow gap.

Solid 18mm carcase, hand-painted in Farrow & Ball or Little Greene.

Whole-home commissionsFitted kitchens in Vauxhall

Fitted Kitchens

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our SW8 kitchen work happens in Victorian galleys being opened up, and in canal-side conversions where the cabinetry has to slot in around immovable services. We build the cabinetry. You choose worktops, appliances, and splashbacks.

Living & Media Walls

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 · SW8 design

What Vauxhall homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Vauxhall's housing has recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on a SW8 project.

Stud walls need wardrobes fixed to the structure, not the plasterboard.
New-build bedrooms Vauxhall design constraint · 01

Stud walls need wardrobes fixed to the structure, not the plasterboard.

The Vauxhall problem

A new-build Vauxhall bedroom has plasterboard on a timber or metal stud frame. Screw a heavy wardrobe straight into the board and it will pull loose over time.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We locate the studs and noggins, add fixing battens where needed, and build the run wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling fixed into the structure. Solid, level, and not going anywhere.

Services bulkheads drop the ceiling right where the wardrobe goes.
Apartments Vauxhall design constraint · 02

Services bulkheads drop the ceiling right where the wardrobe goes.

The Vauxhall problem

Many Vauxhall flats have an MVHR or services bulkhead dropping the ceiling around the perimeter to roughly 2.4m, exactly where a full-height wardrobe was meant to go.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We measure the bulkhead, not the room, and build wall-to-wall to that height with a clean shadow gap above, so the unit sits flush below the drop and looks intended.

Open-plan rooms have nowhere to hide the TV and the clutter.
Open-plan living Vauxhall design constraint · 03

Open-plan rooms have nowhere to hide the TV and the clutter.

The Vauxhall problem

An open-plan Vauxhall living space looks great empty but has no built-in storage, so the TV and everything around it ends up on freestanding units that clutter the room.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We fit a wall-to-wall media and storage wall around a recessed TV: closed cabinets, open shelving and a media bench, with cables hidden behind. Built in, not placed in.

How Vauxhall homes actually use Metro

Common Vauxhall wardrobe scenarios.

Most SW8 enquiries fall into a handful of property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.

Scenario 01

New-build master bedroom on a stud wall

The situation: An owner in a recent Vauxhall development worried a heavy wardrobe would not hold on the plasterboard wall.

What they got: We located the studs, added fixing battens, and built a wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling run fixed into the structure. Solid and level, with soft-close everything.

Range: Built-In Project size: ~£4,600
Scenario 02

Apartment bedroom under a services bulkhead

The situation: A flat where the ceiling dropped to 2.4m around the edge, so full-height units would not fit.

What they got: Floor-to-bulkhead sliders built to the drop with a clean shadow gap above. A mirror panel doubled the light.

Range: Sliding Door Project size: ~£5,200
Scenario 03

Open-plan living wall with hidden TV

The situation: An open-plan living space with the TV and clutter on freestanding units.

What they got: A wall-to-wall media wall around a recessed TV: closed cabinets, open shelving, a media bench, cables hidden behind.

Range: Media Wall Project size: ~£6,400
Scenario 04

Second bedroom turned compact walk-in

The situation: A small second bedroom doing nothing but storing boxes.

What they got: Worked wall-to-wall with hanging, shelving and a slim island of drawers. A proper dressing room with no wasted corners.

Range: Walk-In Project size: ~£5,800
