Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our service. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Just message us on WhatsApp — we reply fast.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Greater Manchester and cover the whole of the Northwest, including Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Salford, Rochdale, Stockport, Warrington and surrounding areas. Not sure if we cover you? Just drop us a WhatsApp and we'll confirm straight away.

How do I get a quote?

Simply get in touch via our Contact page or WhatsApp. We'll arrange a free home visit at a time that suits you, take precise measurements, discuss your design ideas and give you a full written quote — no hidden costs, no obligation.

How long does an installation take?

Most projects are completed in just 1–2 days. A standard fitted wardrobe is typically done in a single day, while larger or more complex installations such as full dressing rooms may take two days. We'll always give you a clear timeline before we start.

Do you only work with IKEA PAX?

We specialise in the IKEA PAX system, which we combine with our own bespoke carpentry skills to achieve a fully custom, built-in look. The PAX system gives us the flexibility to create wardrobes that fit any space — including alcoves, loft rooms and angled ceilings — at a far more affordable price than traditional joinery.

Can you fit wardrobes in awkward spaces?

Absolutely — awkward spaces are our speciality. We regularly install wardrobes in alcoves, chimney breast recesses, loft conversions with sloped ceilings, rooms with low eaves and any other tricky layouts. If you have an unusual space, we'd love to take a look.

Do you offer a free home visit?

Yes — our home visits are completely free with no obligation. One of our fitters will come to your home, take accurate measurements, talk through your options and provide a full written quote. We won't rush you and there's no pressure to commit.

What is included in the price?

Everything. Our quotes cover supply of all IKEA PAX components, bespoke carpentry work (panel cutting, boxing in, skirting matching etc.), fitting and installation, and a full tidy-up when we're done. No surprise costs — what we quote is what you pay.

Can you modify or box in existing furniture?

Yes — we can cut down PAX frames and panels to fit non-standard heights and widths, box in pipework or beams, and add custom skirting and architrave to give your wardrobe a true built-in finish that matches your room.

Do you work on weekends?

We do take on weekend bookings subject to availability. Many of our customers prefer a Saturday install to avoid taking time off work. Just mention it when you get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

How do I pay?

We accept bank transfer and cash. A deposit is required to secure your installation date, with the balance due on completion once you're happy with the work. We never ask for full payment upfront.

Still have a question?
