Tyne and Wear is a county of tyneside flats, Victorian terraces and extensive post-war estate housing. That is exactly the kind of building stock a fitted wardrobe has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Walls in Tyne and Wear are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A fitted wardrobe that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Fitted Wardrobes in Tyne and Wear — common questions
Can wardrobes go right up to a sloping ceiling?
Yes, and that is usually the best use of a loft or dormer room. The top section is cut to the rake and either fitted as a fixed panel or as a lift-up flap for luggage. It is more work than a square top, so expect it to add to the price.
Will the wardrobes be attached to the wall?
Yes, they are fixed back to the structure for safety and to hold the carcasses straight. That means they are fitted furniture rather than freestanding, and they stay with the house if you move.
What is inside the wardrobe by default?
A standard bay is a hanging rail and a shelf above. From there you can add drawer banks, shoe racks, pull-out trouser rails, jewellery trays and internal LED lighting. The internal layout is priced separately so you can see what each addition costs.
How deep should a wardrobe be?
600mm external is the standard, which gives about 560mm inside — enough to hang a jacket square to the wall. Anything under 550mm and clothes have to hang sideways on a pull-out rail, which holds far less.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
