Peckham rooms that suit fitted joinery
Peckham covers an unusually wide spread of housing: handsome Georgian and Victorian terraces around Bellenden Road and Peckham Rye, substantial ex-council blocks, and a fast-growing layer of new-build flats from the area’s regeneration. That mix means no two briefs here look quite the same.
Fitted wardrobes in Bellenden and Rye terraces. The period houses on the desirable streets have tall bedrooms — ceilings often 2.8-3.1m — where full-height wardrobes make the most of the volume, with a top box above the rail for seasonal storage. Georgian stock in particular has walls that have moved over two centuries, so we scribe every panel to the plaster rather than assuming square.
Compact storage in ex-council flats. The estate flats around Consort Road and Queens Road have lower ceilings, near 2.4m, and blockwork walls, so the work is shallower and fixings are planned for masonry rather than timber studs. Slimline wardrobes, hallway cupboards and a neat media run are the usual asks — storage that adds capacity without shrinking a modest room.
Joinery for new-build flats. The regeneration flats often come with a basic developer-spec fit-out and one long living wall. Owners upgrading them tend to want a single continuous piece — wardrobe into desk into shelving — that lifts the finish and suits open-plan living. Lift and corridor sizes decide how we section the build.
Southwark access
Peckham sits in Southwark and the streets around Rye Lane get busy. The borough operates controlled parking zones across much of the area, so a visitor permit is usually needed for install days — we’ll flag when to arrange it. For estate and new-build flats the practical detail is booking the goods lift and confirming the carry-in route, which we sort before drawings are finalised.
