Cardiff is a county of Victorian bay-fronted terraces on a grid, with steady period refurbishment. That is exactly the kind of building stock a walk-in dressing room 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
A walk-in dressing room is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Cardiff in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
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
Walk-In Dressing Rooms in Cardiff — common questions
Should there be a window in a dressing room?
Ideally yes, for ventilation. If there is not, an extract fan on a humidistat is worth fitting — a sealed room full of clothes and no air movement is how you get musty fabric.
Can a dressing room be made from a small bedroom?
That is the most common way it happens. A box room of 2.4m by 2.4m makes an excellent dressing room and adds more to how the house lives than a bedroom nobody sleeps in.
How much room do I need for a walk-in?
A single-sided run needs 1,500mm of floor width — 600mm for the units and 900mm to stand and open a drawer. A double-sided run needs 2,300mm minimum. Below that you are better off with a wardrobe wall.
What lighting works best?
LED strip in the underside of each shelf, on a movement sensor, plus a decent ceiling light with a high colour rendering index. Poor colour rendering is why clothes look different once you get downstairs.
Do you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
