What Metro manufactures for Woolwich.
Three product categories, made in one workshop. Click through to browse the full range.
Fitted Wardrobes
The most common job we do in SE18. 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.
Fitted Kitchens
We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our SE18 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.
Full project management from design through installation.
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.
Built around existing chimney breasts, alcoves, and architectural features.
What Woolwich homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.
Woolwich's housing has recurring quirks. Here is how our workshop handles each on a SE18 project.
Stud walls need wardrobes fixed to the structure, not the plasterboard.
A new-build Woolwich 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.
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.
Many Woolwich 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.
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.
An open-plan Woolwich 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.
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.

Common Woolwich wardrobe scenarios.
Most SE18 enquiries fall into a handful of property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.
New-build master bedroom on a stud wall
The situation: An owner in a recent Woolwich 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.
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.
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.
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.
