Bespoke Fitted Furniture in Manchester
Fitted wardrobes and storage for Manchester homes, from mill conversions in the city centre to the Victorian streets of Didsbury and Chorlton.
Fitted Furniture Designed Around Your Manchester Home
City centre flats are the hardest rooms we are asked to work in, and they are also the ones that gain most. A converted mill or a new build apartment usually has no chimney breast, no alcoves and no obvious run of wall, and the partitions are plasterboard on a metal frame rather than masonry. That changes how a wardrobe is fixed. We span the load across the frame properly rather than hanging weight off a skin of board, and we build to the ceiling because floor space in a flat is the expensive part.
The Victorian and Edwardian streets through Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington and Levenshulme are a different job again. Those houses have generous ceiling heights and proper alcoves, but the walls are rarely plumb and the floors often fall towards the bay. In a conversion or a listed mill building there can also be restrictions on fixing into original fabric, which is worth raising at the design visit rather than discovering on fitting day.

Bespoke Furniture We Fit in Manchester
From fitted wardrobes and media walls to kitchens and clever storage, we design, build and fit furniture for the whole home.
Wardrobes for city centre apartments
Apartment bedrooms have no alcoves and plasterboard walls. A full-wall wardrobe fixed into the metal or timber studs carries the load safely and uses every centimetre to the ceiling.
Fitted Wardrobes →Alcove units in Didsbury and Chorlton
Victorian living rooms in south Manchester have deep alcoves and tall ceilings. Built-in cupboards and shelving, scribed to walls that are rarely plumb, keep the period look.
Living Rooms & Cabinetry →Media walls for Manchester homes
A slim media wall suits an apartment living room with no chimney breast. It holds the TV, hides every cable and adds the focal point the room lacks.
Media Walls & TV Units →Home offices in spare rooms
A fitted desk 500mm deep, with shelving above, fits a spare room or a corner of a bedroom where a standard desk will not.

Fitted Furniture in Manchester: FAQs
Do you fit furniture in Manchester city centre apartments?
Yes, and it is a large part of our Manchester work. Access, lift bookings and building management rules all need arranging in advance, so tell us at the design visit and we will build that into the schedule.
Can you fit wardrobes where there is no alcove?
Yes. Most modern apartments have no alcove at all, so we design a full run along the best available wall and finish it with end panels so it reads as built in rather than as a box pushed against plaster.
Will fixings hold in a plasterboard partition wall?
Not on their own, which is why we do not rely on them. We locate the metal or timber studs behind the board and fix into those, spreading the load so a fully loaded wardrobe is carried by the structure and not the board.
Do you cover south Manchester?
Yes. Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington, Burnage, Northenden and Fallowfield are all part of our Manchester area.
Can you fit furniture in a rented apartment?
Only with the landlord's written permission, because fitted furniture is fixed to the walls.
Do you build media walls in apartments?
Yes. Apartment media walls are usually slim panels 100mm to 150mm deep. See our media wall ideas.
