What we do
Fitted wardrobes designed around the room, not the other way around.
A Shires fitted wardrobe is bespoke cabinetry built floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall into your bedroom, dressing room, landing or spare room. Doors, finishes, handles and internal storage are specified around your clothes, your habits and the light in the room, not pulled from a fixed catalogue.
We work with homeowners across Shropshire and Herefordshire who want their storage to disappear into the architecture: the run of doors reads flush with the walls, the top of the wardrobe meets the ceiling, and every drawer, rail and shelf is placed where it earns its keep.
The service covers everything from a single alcove wardrobe to a full walk-in dressing room, including sloped-ceiling and eaves builds where standard furniture cannot go.
Who it's for
Homeowners in Shropshire and Herefordshire replacing tired freestanding wardrobes, extending into an alcove, finishing off a loft conversion, or planning a new master suite.
When to plan it
During a renovation, after new flooring or plastering, or any time storage is overflowing. Made-to-measure lead times are typically 4–6 weeks, early enquiry protects your install date.
Why professional install matters
Old houses in the Shires rarely have square walls, level floors or plumb ceilings. Scribing, packing and floor-to-ceiling installation is where a fitted wardrobe stops looking like flatpack and starts looking like part of the house.
What happens if you get it wrong
A bad wardrobe install costs more than a good one.
Wasted space above and beside
Freestanding wardrobes typically leave 30–60cm of dead space at the ceiling and gaps along the walls. In a small Shropshire bedroom that's an entire extra wardrobe's worth of storage you never get back.
Doors that drop and rub
Cheap hinges, unbraced carcasses and non-scribed installs mean doors that drop within 12 months, catch on the frame, and refuse to close flush. Repainting the frame never fixes it.
Damage to plaster and skirting
DIY and one-man-band fits crack cornice, chip skirting and leave visible packers behind the fascia. Undoing the damage is often more expensive than the wardrobe itself.
The most common mistake we're called in to correct is homeowners ordering pre-made units online, hoping they'll "near enough" fit. In a period property in Ludlow, Ludgvan-style cottages around Cleobury Mortimer or a Victorian semi in Hereford, "near enough" is never square. Made-to-measure removes the risk entirely.

The benefits of a properly fitted wardrobe.
Up to 40% more usable storage
Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall construction reclaims the space freestanding wardrobes leave behind, without extending the room.
Built to outlast the room
Scribed carcasses, soft-close mechanisms and lifetime installation guarantee. When trends change, only the doors need to.
Fits rooms nothing else will
Sloped ceilings, deep alcoves, chimney breasts, dormer eaves, made-to-measure is the only category that fits period Shropshire homes properly.
Adds resale value
A well-fitted master wardrobe is one of the few interior upgrades estate agents in Ludlow and Hereford routinely mention in listings.
Faster mornings, calmer rooms
Everything in view, nothing hidden at the back. Internal fit-outs are specified to your actual routine, not a showroom's.
One team, one point of contact
Owner-led survey, one installer team, one guarantee. No handoffs between salesperson, fitter and aftercare.
The detail
Finishes, hardware and internal storage, specified around your room.

Painted doors are colour-matched to Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library palettes on request. Woodgrain options include warm oak, smoked oak, walnut and ash.
Hardware
Brushed and polished brass bar handles, matte black knurled knobs, satin nickel and polished cup pulls, soft leather tab pulls, and true handleless push-open and J-pull profiles. Every option is shown in-hand at the survey stage.

Frequently asked
Fitted wardrobe questions, answered honestly.
- How much do fitted wardrobes cost in Shropshire and Herefordshire?
- Every wardrobe is bespoke, so pricing depends on the size of the run, the finish, the door style and the internal storage you choose. As a guide, most fitted wardrobe projects we quote in Shropshire and Herefordshire fall between £2,500 and £8,500 supplied and installed. We survey the room in person, then send a written, fixed-price quote within 24–48 hours, no hidden extras added later.
- How long does it take from survey to installation?
- You will receive a fixed-price quote within 24–48 hours of your free home survey. Once the deposit is placed, made-to-measure lead times are typically 4–6 weeks depending on the finish, followed by an install window that usually runs 1–3 days on site for a standard bedroom wardrobe run.
- What is the process for having a fitted wardrobe installed?
- Enquire by phone, email or the contact form. We book a free home survey at a time that suits, measure the room precisely and talk through finishes, layout and internal storage. You receive a fixed-price written quote within 24–48 hours, a 50% deposit places the order, the furniture is made-to-measure, then our own team installs it. The 50% balance is paid on completion.
- Do the wardrobes come with a guarantee?
- Yes. All furniture carries a 5-year manufacturer guarantee, and our installation is covered by a lifetime installation guarantee, if anything moves, sags or comes loose because of the way we fitted it, we return and put it right at no cost to you.
- Can you fit wardrobes into sloped ceilings, alcoves or awkward eaves?
- Yes: this is where made-to-measure earns its keep. We regularly build into sloped ceilings, chimney breasts, deep alcoves, dormer eaves and rooms where nothing is truly square. The survey exists to catch every angle so the finished wardrobe sits floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall as if the room was built around it.
- Do you install walk-in dressing rooms as well as wardrobes?
- Yes. Walk-in dressing rooms are one of the most common projects we take on, bespoke cabinetry, island drawers, integrated lighting and mirrored panels fitted into an existing room. We do not carry out structural building work, but we handle everything inside the room from measure to install.
- Do you cover my area?
- We cover Shropshire and Herefordshire including Ludlow, Hereford, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Cleobury Mortimer, Church Stretton, Leominster and Telford. If you're just outside these towns, call us, we very often still cover it.
- Are you insured?
- Yes, we carry full public liability insurance across every installation. Combined with the lifetime installation guarantee, that means the wardrobe, and your home during the fit, is fully protected.
- Can I change my mind on the finish after the survey?
- Yes. Nothing goes into production until you have signed off the written quote and placed the deposit. We encourage clients to take finish samples away, live with them in the room for a few days, and confirm once they are certain.
- What's the difference between a fitted wardrobe and a freestanding one?
- A freestanding wardrobe is a piece of furniture placed in a room; a fitted wardrobe is built into the room itself, floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, with no wasted space above, below or beside it. Fitted wardrobes typically add 25–40% more usable storage into the same footprint and they finish flush with the architecture, which is why they read as part of the house rather than as furniture.
