Cost & Process Guide

What fitted wardrobe joinery costs, and how the process runs

This guide covers what affects the cost of bespoke fitted wardrobe joinery, typical lead times, and what happens at each stage from first enquiry to final install.

What Drives Cost

The variables that move the price

Bespoke joinery is quoted per project rather than off a fixed price list, but the main variables are consistent:

  • Size and layout complexity — a straight run of hinged doors costs less than a walk-in dressing room with an island unit.
  • Material and finish — painted MDF sits at the entry point of the range; veneered panels and solid timber detailing cost more.
  • Internal fit-out — the number and type of internal fittings adds to both material and labour cost.
  • Site conditions — awkward access, sloped ceilings, or existing services can add time to manufacture and install.
  • Ironmongery — soft-close hinges and runners are standard; higher-spec track or motorised elements increase cost.
  • Volume — a consistent specification quoted across several units brings the per-unit cost down versus a one-off.

We don't publish a generic price list because these variables move the number too much to be useful — every project gets a fixed quote once the brief or drawings are confirmed. See the range of wardrobe types this covers →

Typical Timeline

Enquiry to install, stage by stage

StageTypical duration
Survey or drawing review1–5 working days
Design and quote3–10 working days
Sign-offClient/architect dependent
Manufacture3–6 weeks
Install1–3 days on site

Total time from first enquiry to a finished install is typically 4–8 weeks, though this varies with project complexity, current workshop capacity, and how quickly sign-off happens at each stage.

The Process, Step By Step

From enquiry to a finished install

1. Enquiry

You send us a brief, drawings, or request a site survey.

2. Survey or drawing review

We take exact site dimensions ourselves, or work from an issued architect drawing package.

3. Design and quote

We produce layout drawings and a fixed price quote based on the confirmed spec.

4. Sign-off

Final drawings, materials and finish are approved before manufacture starts.

5. Manufacture

Built in our own workshop to the confirmed drawings.

6. Delivery and install

Delivered and fitted on site by our own installation team, coordinated with your programme.
