Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes in Maldon
Mastering the Architectural Diversity of the River Blackwater’s Historic Port
Maldon is a town of two halves: the historic maritime centre with its timber-framed townhouses and the thriving new garden suburbs in Heybridge. At Simply Fitted Wardrobes we provide a level of artisan craftsmanship that respects the heritage of the past while solving the storage crises of the present.
Whether you are furnishing a grand period residence near the High Street or a sleek new-build in Westcombe Park or Handley Gardens, we provide a breath of fresh air with our honest, factory direct approach.
Traditional Craftsmanship for Maldon’s Period Properties
Historic Maldon homes weren’t built with modern storage in mind. Uneven floors, sloping ceilings and non plumb walls are the standard, not the exception.
-
Precise Scribing: We don’t hide gaps with massive, ugly filler panels. We scribe every fitted wardrobe to the exact profile of your walls, ensuring a “built-in” look that feels like a natural extension of the room.
-
The Rockingham Collection: Our timeless Shaker designs are the premier choice for Maldon’s heritage interiors, offering a high-end finish that complements traditional cornicing and architecture.
Solving the “New-Build Storage Fail”
If you are relocating to one of the new developments like Handley Gardens or Wycke Place you have likely realised that show home luxury doesn’t always translate to the plot you have purchased.
-
Better than Builder-Grade: Don’t pay a premium for a builder’s “optional extra” that lacks a back or a top. Our wardrobes feature a full 18mm solid carcass as standard. Learn everything you need to know in our fitted wardrobe guide.
-
The Survival Service: Moving is stressful. Once you place your order, we lend you heavy-duty temporary hanging rails free of charge. It’s our way of helping you get settled while your bespoke furniture is being handcrafted in our Essex factory.
The Simply Fitted Wardrobe Promise

-
Made in Essex: Your wardrobes are built at our Chelmsford showroom and factory, ensuring total quality control from design to installation.
-
No High-Pressure Sales: No “manager discounts” or two-hour sit-downs. Just a simple, honest quote for a superior product.
Bespoke Wardrobe in Maldon FAQs
Developer supplied wardrobes are often what we call “scam-level” products. They typically use basic front-frame systems that lack solid backs, tops or side panels. Leaving your new walls exposed. In our experience with Maldon new-builds, these are often poorly installed with large gaps and panels that are not scribed around the skirting. We provide a full 18mm solid carcass as standard, giving you superior durability and a truly bespoke finish for a similar or better price than the builder’s inferior add-on.
We know the move-in day “storage panic” is real. To help Maldon families get their lives back to normal, we offer a Free Temporary Rail Service. Once you place your deposit, we lend you heavy-duty hanging rails so you can get your clothes out of boxes and bags immediately while we handcraft your furniture in our Essex factory. We typically install within 4–6 weeks, providing a much higher quality and more permanent solution than a “stop-gap” IKEA fix.
While many show homes in Maldon use sliders to save space, the reality is that a 600mm depth is usually too shallow for a properly functioning sliding wardrobe. Sliding tracks require a depth of 650mm–700mm to ensure your clothes don’t snag on the back of the doors. If your alcove is 600mm on the nose, we strongly recommend a bespoke hinged wardrobe. This ensures your doors work perfectly and your garments remain protected, even in the restricted footprints of modern master bedrooms.
Absolutely. Maldon’s heritage properties require a completely different approach than a new-build estate. We specialise in the “Scribed In” technique,where we tailor our 18mm carcasses to the uneven floors and “wonky” walls found in Maldon’s historic maritime buildings. Our Rockingham Shaker Range is incredibly popular in the town centre, offering a timeless, elegant aesthetic that respects the original character of your home while providing modern, intelligent storage.
