Wigton, Cumbria
Fitted bedrooms and wardrobes in Wigton

The houses here
Why a standard one will not fit.
Wigton is the market town between us and the Solway. The centre is mostly Georgian and Victorian. Behind it, farms and smallholdings spread out across the plain. Farmhouse kitchens out this way tend to be large, cold and awkwardly shaped. A range at one end, a door to the yard at the other. They need furniture that accepts the shape of the room instead of arguing with it.
Boot rooms matter more here than almost anywhere else we work. A farmhouse back door takes mud, dogs, waterproofs and boots every day of the winter. A proper boot room changes how the whole house works. Bench, drying space, real storage. It is one of the jobs we are asked for most, and one of the easiest to justify.
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.

Wigton: the questions we get
Do you fit kitchens in farmhouses around Wigton?
Regularly. Farmhouse kitchens are usually big rooms with an old range, a stone floor and walls that are not straight. They are among the most satisfying rooms to make furniture for, because nothing off a shelf fits them.
Can you build a boot room off the back door?
Yes, and on a working farm it is often the room that earns its money fastest. Bench, boot storage underneath, hooks and a drying space above. All in materials that will take being wet every day through the winter.
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.
