About Combe Down

What fitted wardrobes typically look like in Combe Down

Combe Down wardrobes split into two camps: the Victorian stone-built terraces in the village core (where the same Bath chimney-breast alcove patterns apply as elsewhere), and the larger 1930s semis and post-war detached houses on the rest of the ridge (where eaves storage and walk-in wardrobe conversions are more common because the loft volumes are larger).

Honest note: The descriptions below are generalisations — what's typical or commonly found in Combe Down, based on the area's documented housing stock. Every property is different, so Tom will always confirm what's actually there on the site visit before quoting.

Property types Tom commonly works with in Combe Down:

  • Victorian stone-built terraces (Combe Down village core)
  • 1930s semi-detached houses
  • Post-war detached houses (1950s–70s)
  • Modern estate housing (1980s–2000s)

Common wardrobe patterns

The kinds of fitted wardrobes Tom builds in Combe Down

In the village core: alcove cupboards either side of chimney breasts, plus under-stair storage. On the wider ridge: full eaves storage in 1930s semis with loft conversions, walk-in wardrobe conversions in the larger detached houses, and main-room media walls with storage either side of a fireplace.

Local questions

Combe Down — common questions

Combe Down 1930s semi — can you fit eaves wardrobes in the loft?
Yes — eaves storage is one of the most useful additions to a 1930s semi loft conversion. Sliding doors work better than hinged for the slope, and we measure to the ceiling line so there's no triangular dead zone.
We have a stone-built Victorian terrace in the village — same patterns as elsewhere in Bath?
Yes — the same chimney-breast alcove pattern applies. Stone walls are slightly thicker than brick, which gives you more room to recess into, but the proportions are otherwise identical to Georgian terraces elsewhere in Bath.
Can you do a walk-in wardrobe in our larger detached house?
Yes — the larger post-war detached houses on Combe Down have the bedroom volumes for a walk-in wardrobe conversion. We usually design a U-shape with full-height hanging either side and a drawer / shelving bank at the back.
Do I need planning permission for built-in wardrobes in Combe Down?
Almost never. Built-in wardrobes are usually permitted development. The stone-built properties in the village core are mostly not listed, but any exterior-facing work (visible venting, cable runs on the front elevation) still needs to be assessed.
Are you VAT registered?
No — below the threshold. Quotes are VAT-free.

Our step by step process

Our step by step process

Every job follows the same six stages. Some are quicker, some are slower — but the order and what to expect at each point is fixed, so you're never wondering what's happening.

  1. 01

    Measure and design

    We come and measure the exact space, including any sloping ceilings or unusual angles. You tell us what goes inside — full-height hanging, double rails, drawers, shoe storage.

  2. 02

    Material and finish

    Choose from MDF painted, real wood veneer, melamine or a mix. We talk through the trade-offs of each at this stage, not after the order is placed.

  3. 03

    Quote and schedule

    Fixed-price quote with the lead time. Most wardrobe projects are made-to-measure off-site then installed in a day or two.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Frames fixed to the wall, doors and internals fitted, final adjustments. Most bedrooms are usable again the same evening.
