How much should built in wardrobe cost ?

DebbieBologna

Hi I am looking at having a custom build wardrobe in white built in my flat on one wall.

It is to have 4 big doors and 4 small doors above them so sort of 2 double wardrobes side by side and 2 very short double wardroes put on top to use the wasted space above tothe ceiling if that makes sense.
Size is 220cm wide by 240 cm tall (to ceiling) . One double section is to have shelves in it, and the other is to have hanging space with 3 pull out drawers for my shoes in it.

How much should this cost roughly ? and how long should this take to make ? I am in West London and live in a flat so have no space in my flat for cutting etc to be done.

I did get someone who said he would make it in 18mil mdf ? but never came back with a quote. Is that the right material ?

Grateful for any ideas.

Have you had a look at what is available at magnet, mfi, b&q etc and if you could use their standard wardrobes with a bit of infill paneling where necessary.

magnet, mfi and the likes don't do fitted robes tho. they all link together etc but no floor to ceiling - i asked a few months back at mfi.

check in your yellow pages for bedroom fitters - most have showrooms or workshops that you can visit.

one of my bedrooms i got fitted from an advert in the Liverpool Echo!! I obviously visited their workshop but they did a really good job for a nice price so have a look in your local paper too. I suppose you know what you can afford so if they quote more than you can afford ask them to drop the price ie £700's too much but would you do it for £600 for cash??

Also i'm just having another bedroom fitted and got 3 quotes ranging from £1750 to £1340 so its worth shopping around.

For your job i would reckon about £1000 but it would have a proper back on it. My daughter's got a big double mirrored fitment along one of her walls with shelving and rails - that would be soo much cheaper as there's no back to it and you don't have to have mirrored doors.
