Can I Hire Someone to Install Fitted Wardrobes?

If you’re considering upgrading your bedroom storage, you might be wondering if it’s possible to hire someone to install fitted wardrobes? Do you need a joiner? Maybe a local wardrobe installer is better? Perhaps a larger fitted wardrobe company is more reliable? Regardless, the answer is yes and in most cases, it’s better to hire a professional because whilst DIY furniture has its place, fitted wardrobe design and installation requires precision, planning and expertise to deliver the best long term results!

Can I Install Fitted Wardrobes Myself?

Unlike flat pack or freestanding furniture, fitted wardrobes are designed to fit your exact room dimensions, working around any awkward spaces and maximising every inch of space available. Because of this, fitted wardrobe installation isn’t just about assembling furniture, it’s about creating a built-in wardrobe that not only looks seamless, but functions perfectly too. So, whilst it’s ‘technically’ possible to do it yourself, it’s not always straightforward – measurements must be correct, spaces must be planned, materials must be cut perfectly to size and doors must be perfectly aligned. Ultimately, even minor errors or mismeasures can leave gaps or create misalignments that reduce the overall quality of the furniture. Plus, DIY installations are definitely a more time consuming option for you!

Why Should I Hire a Professional Fitted Wardrobe Installer?

Having a specialist fitted wardrobe designer create and install your fitted wardrobe offers some major advantages:

• Precision Fit – a professional fitted wardrobe installer will ensure your new fitted wardrobe fits absolutely perfectly, even in challenging spaces;
• Expert Design – you’ll benefit from working with a fitted wardrobe company that has designed fitted wardrobes previously and knows what works well and what doesn’t;
• High Quality Finish – the best fitted wardrobe installers will ensure the finish is seamless and beautiful, which is difficult to achieve yourself without some experience;
• Time & Stress Savings – the process can take days (or weeks!) of your time, whereas an experienced fitted wardrobe company will be able to complete this more efficiently.

Should I Hire a Joiner or Fitted Furniture Company to Install My Fitted Wardrobe?

You likely can hire a joiner or carpenter, but here’s the key difference in our opinion:

• Joiners can absolutely build custom units, but they are unlikely to specialise in fitted wardrobe systems;
• Fitted wardrobe companies (like My Fitted Bedroom) install fitted wardrobes day in, day out and offer a full service; design, manufacture and installation. 

When you use a fitted wardrobe company like us at My Fitted Bedroom, the process is simple and structured, including a free home design consultation, provision of a quote, manufacture of your design and professional fitting of your final wardrobe. This ensures consistency, a smooth overall experience and the result? A beautiful and fully bespoke fitted wardrobe!

So, Is It Worth Hiring Someone to Install Fitted Wardrobes?

In our opinion, yes! Hiring a professional is definitely worth it – fitted wardrobes are a long term investment and their quality has a huge impact on how they look, how they function and how long they last. Cutting corners can reduce the value of your investment, so working with an experienced team can make all the difference!
