Core serviceFitted wardrobes in Woolwich

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in SE18. 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 Woolwich

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our SE18 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 · SE18 design

What Woolwich homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

Woolwich is mostly newer apartments and conversions, which bring their own constraints. Here is how our workshop handles the three that come up on almost every SE18 project.

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

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

The Woolwich problem

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.

Metro's design 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 Woolwich design constraint · 02

Services bulkheads drop the ceiling right where the wardrobe goes.

The Woolwich problem

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.

Metro's design 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 Woolwich design constraint · 03

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

The Woolwich problem

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.

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.

From our workshop to your home

How Metro works with Woolwich.

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 SE18

Which Metro ranges fit Woolwich homes best?

The ranges we recommend more than any others in SE18, based on what the area's property actually demands.

Sliding Wardrobes

Best for apartments

Floor-to-bulkhead sliders that avoid door swing in compact new-build bedrooms, with mirror panels for light.

Built-In

Best for stud walls

Wall-to-wall runs fixed into the studwork and noggins, level and solid on plasterboard walls.

Media Walls

Best for open-plan

Wall-to-wall media and storage walls around a recessed TV, with hidden cable management.

Walk-In Wardrobes

Best for second rooms

A study or second bedroom worked wall-to-wall as a compact dressing room.

How Woolwich homes actually use Metro

Four common Woolwich wardrobe scenarios.

Most SE18 enquiries fall into one of four 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 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.

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

“I just love love love our alcove wardrobes. I had some specific design requests because the alcoves are a slightly different size and I wanted the wardrobes to be the same. The designer Luci was flexible to my requests and got it to exactly how I wanted it. Their price is amazing… best out of the several quotes I received. Plus they were so quick and efficient everything including installation done in two weeks. Installation was done swiftly in one day and they left the room spotless. Total gem of a company, I highly recommend. I will be wanting to work with them for other projects for sure.”

Charmie KimGoogle review

“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.”

Gurkan SacikaraGoogle review

“Highly recommend. The service and quality are excellent. Our designer visited the house, took measurements and later showed us 3D renders of the finished wardrobe. The fitting team left the flat immaculately clean.”

Woolwich: common questions

A few things SE18 clients tend to ask.

Can you fix a wardrobe to a new-build stud wall safely?
Yes. We locate the studs and noggins, add fixing battens where needed, and build the run fixed into the structure rather than the plasterboard, so it stays solid and level for the long term.
My flat has a ceiling bulkhead where the wardrobe goes. Can you still fit one?
Yes. We measure the bulkhead height, 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.
Can you build a media wall for an open-plan living space?
Yes. We fit a wall-to-wall media and storage wall around a recessed TV, with closed cabinets, open shelving and hidden cable runs, so it reads as built-in joinery rather than freestanding furniture.
How much does a fitted wardrobe in Woolwich cost?
Most SE18 projects fall between £3,500 and £7,000, depending on size, range, finish and internal fit-out. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you sign.
What's the difference between Metro and a national chain?
We make in London, eighteen 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 work in the new Royal Arsenal Woolwich apartments?
Yes. New-build flats are a large part of our SE18 work; we fix into studwork, build to services bulkheads and design open-plan media walls.
