The London Fitted Wardrobe Co. - Julian Richards


Recommended Posts

Another recommendation for Julian Richards. We contacted Julian last year about fitted wardrobes. He was quick to respond and thorough during the site visit and quotation. We changed our minds quite a lot during the process and Julian was excellent at responding. Julian worked efficiently and to deadlines, always checking in with us and asking our advice. A lovely person to have in your house (we even trusted him with a key which I never do). All in all a brilliant carpenter for wardrobes and other things and we cannot recommend him enough.

Another recommendation for Julian.


Julian built us two fitted wardrobes in the bedroom alcoves, and alcove cupboards and floating shelves in our living room.


The quality of his work is brilliant - and has received high praise from our decorator. I really appreciated his advice on how to make the best use of the space, and the proportions of each element.


Julian was a pleasure to deal with, with great communication throughout, and kept the place nice and tidy during the project.

Originally found Julian via this board while searching for a local carpenter who could build us some bespoke Wardrobes into a fairly awkward shaped room, and have to give an absolutely glowing recommendation.

Came in at a fraction of what we were quoted by a 'name' wardrobe maker and was a pleasure to deal with - will be using again shortly for a sitting room project

Julian has just finished fitting fabulous new wardrobes in our bedroom, created bespoke bedside cabinets and redesigned our study. Would recommend him without hesitation. His creativity in maximising the space was great, the quality of work excellent and attention to detail impressive. Julian was really diligent, taking great care to ensure precise measurements even to the millimetre to ensure that the erratic angles of our floors and ceilings didn't compromise the look of straight lines. Julian is a great communicator to ensure that you are kept informed during the project and can make decisions with him as you go. Open and transparent in his pricing, reliable and thorough, very happy to recommend him.

Another shout out for Julian Richards. He has just finished our fitted wardrobe, floating shelves and drawers for a kid?s bedroom and some large fitted shelves in our hallway.


Julian was extremely professional and knows his trade exceptionally well. He was happy to accommodate last minute changes, was friendly, tidy and extremely hardworking and finished the project very quickly without compromising the quality of the finish.


We will be looking to use him again in the future and would highly recommend him for any carpentry job.

Another shout out for the excellent Julian Richards.

Fantastic work, a really great carpenter.

Built in wardrobes with design advice that both maximise storage space and look fantastic

Clean, timely works and great value for money in comparison to other quotes received. I?ll be using him next for kitchen cupboards

Julian has recently finished fitting 4 alcove shelves and 2 alcove wardrobes. We couldn't recommend him more highly. His work is of the highest standard, with incredible attention to detail, and he is a pleasure to deal with!

Anyone know if Julian has given up the game? Or on holiday? He doesn?t seem to respond to messages despite having read them not answer the phone/return voicemails :-(

Feedback here sounded good but notice the last recommendations were in September...

Hi there,


I?m afraid I?m on holiday at the moment, enjoying the last of the Turkish summer sun. Sorry I haven?t responded yet, but my son has smashed the the screen to my phone. This means I have no access to text messages/ WhatsApp until I return and get my screen replaced. I have sparse access to email (relying on WiFi and access to my wife?s phone) but generally intend to respond to all enquiries upon my return on 3rd November.


Sorry for any delays, but I?m sure you appreciate the unusual situation.

Hi All,


I would like to recommend Julian Richards as a great local carpenter. He created lovely fitted shelving, cupboards and wardrobes in our house. Very professional guy with very appropriate creative ideas and high quality work!


Happy to be contacted if anyone has questions.


Thanks, Mel

Julian has recently built large floor to ceiling wardrobes for us (negotiating a tricky corner - with creative suggestions for the use of the space) and also some floating shelves in the alcoves.


He is an excellent carpenter, completed the work on time and was a pleasure to deal with.

Julian completed a pair of floor to ceiling wardrobes in our house which have changed our life! They look great, hold masses of stuff and are really solid.

Julian really knows what he?s doing. He knows what will look good and is very attentive to your brief. He is utterly reliable and an excellent carpenter - unpaused by the idiosyncrasies of old houses and misshapen walls.

I?d recommend him unreservedly and we?ll definitely use him again.

A pic of his work attached and his number is 07931 520713.

Very happy to add my voice to the recommendations for Julian Richards above.

I had to wait a fair while for Julian to become available to fit my wardrobes, testament to his popularity on here!

But it was worth the wait, and TBF gave me plenty of time to decide on the layout / design / handles.

I have a LOT of clothes and I'm VERY fussy but Julian was happy to oblige.

I also wanted something slightly different to suit my 30s semi, more art deco rather than Victorian or Shaker style cupboards.

Julian was very helpful in making suggestions and came back after the decorator had painted to make a couple of adjustments to account for my lanky height & flowing clothes!

I've not posted before so I'll add a photo if I can figure out how...

Hi Julian,


My husband and I are looking to get high quality alcoves either side of a fireplace in our living room. Obviously we wouldn't want this until post-lockdown, but would be great to discuss this with you in preparation. Shall I send photos / any other info to you directly?

We would also like to echo all the excellent feedback above for Julian Richards. We hired based on this forum and he certainly met our expectations.


He built two floor to ceiling wardrobes for us - one in an alcove and one across a whole wall. He was very helpful regarding design and his carpentry was excellent. He was totally un-bothered by the somewhat wonky walls of our house, reliable and finished on time. We are delighted with the results.


He also built some floating shelves either side of a fireplace which are also excellent.


Highly recommended.

I posted a message recommending Julian and his excellent cupboards and wardrobes a couple of months ago. Just repeating my enthusiasm for his work - high quality, solid, well designed and reliable - and adding some more photos of a wardrobe and shelves he did for our sons? bedroom last year.

Do contact him on 07931 520713 If you want something similar.

Julian did an outstanding job for us last year fitting wardrobes in our bedroom, building bespoke bed side cabinets and creating a study. He came back a couple of weeks ago to do a smaller job creating a new cupboard unit. Would recommend him without hesitation. He has an incredible eye for detail, knows how to maximise space, comes up with creative solutions and is meticulous in his work. He listens carefully to what you want, comes up with great ideas and he's a really nice guy.

We just want to say a big thank you to Julian, who's just completed our bedroom wardrobes, and living room cupboards with shelving. We are absolutely over the moon with everything. He is highly skilled, and would 100% recommend him. A seriously great job.


Also, whilst he was here, he helped me build a garden fence, that was totally unplanned. I wasn't really sure what I was doing, and he basically did 99% of the work (which I took the credit for later on).


We will be contacting Julian Richards again, any need for a carpenter, this is a great find. Thank you.

We recently used Julian to build wardrobes in two of our bedrooms. He did a very professional job, was neat and tidy and was done quickly. He talked us through our options prior to starting, and once agreed, he ensured we were kept involved with any key decisions throughout. I believe the job was priced fairly too. Overall it was a very smooth process, and I'd recommend Julian to anyone wanting a decent carpenter. His number is 07931 520 713

Another recommendation for Julian- fantastic workmanship and an excellent carpenter. We have used him for alcoves cupboards and now again recently for built in wardrobes and we are delighted with the finished product. I?d recommend Julian to anyone!

Another recommendation for Julian. He built a bookcase and some floating shelves for me last year and they look brilliant. Solidly made and he managed to get everything done in one day. He arrived on time and was a pleasure to deal with. He was clean and tidy and fairly priced too compared to some other quotes I received. I'd definitely use him again.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
