Alcove Joinery for London Living Rooms
The alcoves either side of a chimney breast are the signature storage opportunity in London's Victorian and Edwardian homes. Our built in alcove cupboards use them fully: base cupboards scribed tight to uneven walls, shelving above, and detailing matched to your skirting and cornice.
Each unit is made to measure in our workshop and hand-finished — spray-painted in any colour or prepared for your decorator. From a single alcove cupboard to full-wall arrangements with fitted alcove wardrobes in bedrooms, the result looks original to the house.

Alcove Cupboards — Frequently Asked Questions
How much do built in alcove cupboards cost?
A single alcove base cupboard with shelving above typically runs £1,200–£2,200 depending on size and finish; a matching pair either side of a chimney breast from around £2,400–£4,200. Spray finish and interior details are itemised in your fixed quote.
My walls are wonky — will units still fit tight?
Yes. Period walls are rarely straight, which is why every unit is scribed on site to follow your actual wall line. Tight shadow-free joints against uneven plaster are standard, not extra.
Painted or ready-to-paint — what do you supply?
Either. Most clients choose our hand-sprayed finish in any colour for a flawless factory-quality surface; alternatively we install primed units ready for your decorator.
Can you match my skirting and cornice?
Yes — matching existing mouldings is a specialty. We replicate skirting profiles, continue picture rails and respect cornice lines so the joinery reads as original to the room.
How long from survey to installation?
Typically 3–4 weeks. Installation itself is usually one day per alcove pair, completed cleanly with dust sheets and vacuum-extracted tools.
