Greater London is a county of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Georgian townhouses and post-war conversions, where no two chimney alcoves are the same width. That is exactly the kind of building stock a fitted home office 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
Every fitted home office we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Greater London, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
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.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Home Offices & Studies in Greater London — common questions
Can an office fit into an alcove or a landing?
Frequently. A 1,200mm alcove takes a full workstation with shelving above, and a landing return can take a desk under a window. Both are much better than a table in a corner of a bedroom.
How deep should a built-in desk be?
700mm minimum for a monitor at a comfortable distance. 600mm works for a laptop only. Less than 600mm and you will end up sitting too close to the screen.
How do you manage the cables?
A cable tray under the full length of the desk, grommets at each workstation, and a single ventilated cupboard for the router, hub and power. Done once at build stage it stays tidy permanently.
Can you build in a printer and filing?
Yes. A pull-out shelf for the printer at low level is much better than a fixed shelf — it lets you reach the back for paper jams. Filing is usually a two-drawer bank under the desk on full-extension runners.
Do you work with architects and builders?
Regularly. We can work to your drawings and specification, price from a schedule, and co-ordinate with the main contractor's programme. We are equally happy dealing directly with a homeowner from a rough sketch.
