How much do fitted wardrobes cost?
Fitted wardrobes are an excellent investment for any home, offering both functionality and style. At Prestige Bedrooms Surrey, we understand the importance of getting this investment right. With over 30 years in the industry and more than 20,000 installations completed, we are experts in helping you understand how much fitted wardrobes cost.
How much for fitted wardrobes?
The most significant factor in how much fitted wardrobes cost is whether you opt for a DIY solution or professional installation. Although a DIY solution may initially appear significantly cheaper, the time cost, stress, access to premium materials, equipment required, and quality of the finished product usually make professional installation more cost-effective in the long run. For the example wardrobe below, professional installation costs range from £3,000 to £3,500, whereas DIY options are generally cheaper, ranging from £1,500 to £2,000.
Additionally, factors such as material quality, design complexity, and extra features can affect how much fitted wardrobes cost. Throughout this blog, we’ll explore each factor to help you build your perfect wardrobe at the right cost. If you have any questions, we can guide you through this and provide a competitive quote.
DIY vs Professional Installation
DIY Options
DIY fitted wardrobes can be a more budget-friendly option. However, DIY solutions often come with limitations in terms of customisation and quality. Building the unit yourself requires significant effort and skill, and DIY wardrobes may not integrate into your room as seamlessly as professionally installed options. Additionally, it's important to consider the time cost involved in designing and building your own fitted wardrobes. Check out our guide on how to build your own fitted wardrobe to help you determine if it’s the right option for you.

What to consider in valuing the cost of a professionally fitted wardrobe?
Installation Complexity
When it comes to fitted wardrobes, the complexity of the installation can vary greatly depending on your space. One notable challenge arises with slanted walls or unusual room layouts. These types of installations are often difficult to handle with a DIY approach and usually require professional expertise.
DIY installations on slanted walls can be particularly challenging. Accurate measurements and precise cutting are crucial, and even small mistakes can lead to significant issues, such as gaps, misalignment, or even structural problems. Also, the need for bespoke components and the assembly process's complexity can add to the difficulty of a DIY project. This is why we recommend getting a free design consultation before a DIY project to help you make the right decision.
Delivery of Components
Professional services, like ours, handle all delivery logistics, ensuring timely and safe delivery. If you opt for a DIY build, you’ll need to be present to receive and manage the large components, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
Removal of Old Fitted Wardrobe
Removing an old fitted wardrobe can be challenging and time-consuming. Our professional services include removal and disposal within our costs, making the process hassle-free for you. If you are opting for a DIY solution, please refer to our "How to Remove a Fitted Wardrobe" guide.
Hiring Installers
The value of skilled installers cannot be overstated. Our team at Prestige Bedrooms Surrey has decades of experience and over 20,000 installations completed. You can trust that you’re getting the highest quality installation that will last. The value will be evident in the finished product.
Adding Value to Your Home
Fitted wardrobes can significantly increase the value of your home. In fact, homes with fitted wardrobes can be more attractive to potential buyers, potentially increasing your property's value. To maximise this increase in property value, professional installation is recommended, as potential buyers will notice the quality of the installation.
Financing Options
Many professional services, including ours, offer financing options that allow you to spread the cost of your fitted wardrobe over time. This can make high-quality, bespoke solutions more accessible and potentially make the initial outlay comparable to, if not cheaper than, a DIY option.
Material Quality and Range of Options
The quality of materials used in your fitted wardrobe will impact both the price and the longevity of the installation. At Prestige Bedrooms Surrey, we order in bulk from the best suppliers, ensuring we can offer over 50 colours and 25 styles at competitive prices to perfectly match your desired aesthetic.
Optional Extras
Optional extras such as drawers, lighting, and premium door handles can increase the overall cost of your fitted wardrobe. However, these features can significantly enhance both the functionality and style of your wardrobe. If you opt for a DIY installation, incorporating these extras can complicate the process, as you’ll need to order additional components and ensure they are assembled correctly.
At Prestige Bedrooms, we can customise your wardrobe to include any bespoke options you desire, ensuring that it perfectly complements your home. Check out our bespoke fitted wardrobe page for inspiration and to explore the options we can provide.
