Gwynedd is a county of slate-roofed stone cottages in quarrying villages and coastal holiday properties. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sliding-door 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
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our sliding-door wardrobe work is cut to the dimensions taken from your Gwynedd property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
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
Sliding Door Wardrobes in Gwynedd — common questions
Can sliding wardrobes be removed later?
The doors and track come off easily. The carcass is fixed to the wall, so removing it will need making good behind. It is fitted furniture, designed to stay.
Can sliding doors be full height?
Yes, up to about 2,800mm. Above around 2,400mm we move to a heavier gear set and a steel-reinforced stile, because a tall panel that flexes will jam in the track.
Do sliding doors seal against dust?
Not fully — there is always a running clearance. Brush seals on the stiles reduce it a great deal. If dust is a real concern, hinged doors on soft-close hinges are the better choice.
Is the floor under the wardrobe carpeted?
We recommend fitting to the subfloor and carpeting up to the unit. Sliding gear needs a flat, firm bottom track, and carpet underneath will compress unevenly and throw the doors out.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
