The houses here

Why a standard one will not fit.

Appleby-in-Westmorland sits in the upper Eden Valley. Sandstone again, with Boroughgate running down from the castle to the river. Around it are farms and estate cottages, and a steady amount of restoration work on older properties. It is the furthest regular corner of our area. The houses there are almost all old.

Work this far out is planned rather than casual. So we do more of it in one visit. Kitchen, utility and boot room drawn together, fitted in one programme, by the same men. It is a better way to do it anyway. Those three rooms share a wall more often than not.

We make fitted bedrooms and fitted wardrobes for houses across Carlisle, Penrith and the rest of Cumbria. Because we cut the carcasses, the wardrobes finish at your ceiling. The run finishes at your wall. The sloping ceiling in the back bedroom stops being a reason you cannot have storage there.

Appleby: the questions we get

Do you travel as far as Appleby?

Yes. It is the far end of our regular area, not outside it. Work that far out is usually planned as one programme rather than a series of visits.

Can you do the kitchen and the utility room at the same time?

It is usually the sensible way. They are often back to back and they share services. Drawing them together means the storage ends up where it should be. Not split between two jobs done a year apart.

Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?

Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to have them made. A slope beats standard units completely. On a drawing it is only an angle. The space under it is usually the only spare storage in the room.

Do the wardrobes go right up to the ceiling?

If you want them to. We cut the carcasses, so the height is set by your ceiling and not by what a supplier stocks. It usually gains a full shelf across the whole wall.
