Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes In Billericay | The Goodwood Shaker Fitted Wardrobe Collection
Period Character Meets Precisie Traditional Fitted Wardrobes in CM11
Billericay’s residential landscape is defined by beautiful character properties that require a sensitive, design led approach to storage. At Simply Fitted Wardrobes, we specialise in integrating high capacity, 18mm thick rigid furniture into period master bedrooms without sacrificing the room’s architectural soul.
This featured project in Billericay showcases our Goodwood Range—a bespoke, CNC machined Shaker fitted wardrobe design tailored to match the client’s vision of a tall, single panel aesthetic. Finished in the timeless Farrow & Ball All White No. 2005, this fitted wardrobe installation in Billericay proves that bespoke joinery can be both a functional necessity and a significant design statement.
The Chimney Breast Challenge: Creating Symmetrical Fitted Wardrobe Perfection
Many period homes in Billericay feature a chimney breast that potentially disrupts the flow of a standard wardrobe run. For this master bedroom, we built a solution that turned this obstacle into a symmetrical centrepiece:
-
The Step Forward Design: To ensure the central fitted wardrobe remained fully functional for hanging space, we set the unit forward. This allows for a useable 600mm depth in front of the chimney breast, while the flanking wardrobes sit flush in the alcoves.
-
Symmetrical Perfection: We utilised three equal double fitted wardrobe sections to create a balanced, three dimensional look that complements the room’s existing panelling as well as period features.
-
Traditional Fitted Wardrobe Finishes: Avoiding the modern ceiling scribe, the client opted for a Traditional Cornice as well as a Shaped Plinth, hand finished in Farrow & Ball to match the bespoke beaded doors.
Why Our Goodwood Range of Fitted Wardrobes is the Best Choice
While high street retailers offer “standard” Shaker fitted wardrobe doors, our Goodwood range of fitted wardrobes is built for longevity and aesthetic precision:
-
Bespoke Beading Detail: Unlike modular Shaker doors, this project features a bespoke beading with no mid-rail, creating a tall, elegant single panel design that mirrors traditional, period Essex interior doors.
-
Lancaster Oak Internals: Every unit is finished internally with Lancaster Oak, providing a warm, textured contrast to the crisp All White exterior.
-
Blum Hardware with Lifetime Warranty: We don’t just provide soft-close as standard. We provide Blum hinges and drawer runners, guaranteed for the lifetime of your home.
-
18mm Structural Integrity: Every carcass, back panel, side panel and top panel is manufactured from 18mm thick board in our Essex Workshop, ensuring zero sagging even under maximum load.

Fitted Wardrobes In Billericay FAQs
The price of a bespoke installation in Billericay depends on the range and complexity, such as our chimney breast project. However, transparency is our standard. Our entry-level Blyton Range of fitted wardrobes starts from £2,651.00, while a bespoke painted Goodwood Shaker Fitted wardrobe project typically starts from £3732.34. Unlike national retailers with 50% off sales, we use a Fixed Benchmark Pricing model to ensure you get our best price first.
While a carpenter can build on-site using MDF, a specialist like Simply Fitted Wardrobes provides factory built, precise 18mm rigid carcasses manufactured in our Essex workshop. This means your fitted wardrobes are built with industrial precision, featuring solid back panels as well as Blum lifetime guaranteed hardware—a level of durability and materials that standard site built joinery often lacks.
The primary difference is the 18mm Structural Integrity. Budget retailers often use 15mm thin carcasses and flimsy hardboard backs which can bow over time. Every wardrobe we install in Billericay features 18mm solid panels throughout (including the backs). Furthermore, we are a local Essex business; the team that designs your wardrobe in our studio is the same team that manufactures and installs it.
Yes. In many Billericay character homes, we use bespoke engineering techniques. By setting the central wardrobe forward, we create a full depth, useable hanging space in front of the chimney breast while the flanking wardrobes sit flush in the alcoves. This creates a symmetrical statement piece that maximises storage without compromising the room’s period architecture.
