The houses here

Why a standard one will not fit.

Penrith is red sandstone. The Eden Valley behind it is farmhouses, stone barns and a steady run of conversions. The barn work is the interesting part. A converted agricultural building gives you height, exposed trusses and a very large open room. It also gives you no two walls that meet at a right angle. Standard units in a room like that leave gaps you can put your hand in.

Eden Valley conversions tend to want one long run and an island. The room is big enough to need a working centre. An island is also where making it ourselves shows most plainly. It can be any length the room wants. It can carry a table on the end. It does not have to be two standard boxes and a filler panel.

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.

Penrith: the questions we get

Do you fit kitchens in barn conversions near Penrith?

Yes, and they are some of the best rooms to work in. A conversion usually has the height and the space. What it does not have is a straight wall. So the furniture has to be drawn to the building. We measure it, draw it, and make it to that drawing.

Can you make an island long enough for a room that size?

Whatever length the room wants, because we build the carcasses. An island is not limited to the sizes a supplier happens to stock. It can carry a breakfast table built into the end if that suits how the room is used.

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.
