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.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
