Overview
This page prices wardrobe assembly for Marylebone W1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 57% privately rented and 3,555 households in total. Work starts at £70, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Wall checked for level and plumb — a Victorian bedroom wall is rarely square top to bottom, and that decides how much scribing the fit will need.
Step 2
Panels assembled and squared with a diagonal check before the back goes on, since a carcass built out of square is what makes doors bind later.
Step 3
The unit offered up to the wall, gaps marked and fillers cut so the front face sits flush rather than following the wall's own lean.
Step 4
Anti-tip fixings into a stud or masonry point on every tall unit, standard on every build regardless of whether the kit's instructions make it optional.
Step 5
Rails, drawers and shelving fitted, doors and runners adjusted to close flush and quiet, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
One fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) is the nearest station, so a W1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts in W1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) rather than assumed from a map.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, and every tall or multi-door wardrobe is anchored to the wall as standard — the fixing furniture safety guidance and most manufacturer manuals call for and that free-standing self-assembly often skips.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors | £70 | 1–1.5 hrs | Carcass squared and anchored before the doors go on, so they don't drop out of alignment within weeks. |
| Double or triple flat-pack wardrobe | £110 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | More panels to square and a wider carcass that needs bracing across the back before it's rigid. |
| Fitted wardrobe system (PAX-style), per bay | £150 | 2–3 hrs | Each bay is scribed individually to the wall — almost no London bedroom wall is square top to bottom. |
| Sliding-door wardrobe, per door | £65 | 45–70 min | Tracks have to be dead level or the door binds or drifts open on its own, which takes more adjustment than a hinged door. |
| Interior fit-out (drawers, rails, shelving), per unit | £45 | 30–50 min | Internal dividers and soft-close runners are fitted after the carcass is anchored, not before. |
| Wall anchoring for an existing free-standing wardrobe | £35 | 20–30 min | A retrofit anti-tip strap into a stud or masonry fixing, which most self-assembled wardrobes are never fitted with. |

Prices are assembly labour for a kit you supply. Every tall or top-heavy unit is anchored to the wall as standard, which is the manufacturer's own instruction and not an upsell. Scribing fillers for out-of-square walls are cut on site and included. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →

Working in Marylebone
Walk Marylebone from The Wallace Collection outwards and the Georgian and early Victorian pattern is obvious: 88% of the 3,555 households in W1 live in flats, 12% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 32% in Marylebone, so alongside the 57% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Marylebone substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a W1 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Marylebone knows the pattern near The Wallace Collection: village high street, Georgian estate streets and the medical quarter along Harley Street. We plan the W1 visit around it. Marylebone sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts — one reason one fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways).

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Marylebone on the Marylebone rounds — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, with 32% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Bay count and door type set the price. A fitted system is priced per bay because each one is scribed to its own patch of wall; sliding doors need more track-levelling time than hinged ones around Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) — and 47% one-person households here, with 12% of Marylebone homes being houses.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception across W1. Marylebone's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom on this side of Westminster, with 11% social-rented stock nearby — and 3,555 households on this patch, so we scribe filler pieces to close the gap rather than leave the unit leaning off the wall. The fault we correct most on call-backs is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways) rather than assumed from a map on W1 jobs — and this being Westminster City Council territory, with 57% of W1 homes being privately rented.
On every tall or multi-door unit, as standard. With 88% of Marylebone homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let across W1, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood.
Yes, from £65 a door. The track has to be dead level along its full run or the door drifts open on its own — with 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most on W1 jobs — and Westminster parking rules in play, with 57% of W1 homes being privately rented.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with The Wallace Collection a few streets away — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, and every tall or multi-door wardrobe is anchored to the wall as standard — the fixing furniture safety guidance and most manufacturer manuals call for and that free-standing self-assembly often skips in Marylebone. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways), with 12% of Marylebone homes being houses.
Structural alcove work or making good plaster where a fitted system is boxed in; Sourcing or ordering replacement parts for a kit that arrives damaged or incomplete; Moving existing furniture out of the room before the build starts on the Marylebone rounds, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and 11% social-rented stock nearby. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Marylebone W1 price you agree is the price you pay for Marylebone (W1) addresses, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
All three. With 57% of Marylebone privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the W1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across W1, with this being a short walk from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways).
