How Long Does it Take to Get Fitted Wardrobes Installed?

A time estimate for installing our wardrobe doors is frequently requested, and while there is no precise answer that can be given because each installation is unique, we have provided some answers below. 

How long does it take to get fitted wardrobes installed in your home?

The delivery time for your wardrobe is between 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the wardrobe and the brand that you’ve chosen. But the exact time required to install your fitted wardrobes varies from project to project. Most of our installations are completed by our highly experienced team in less than 24 hours, but we provide our clients with a more accurate estimate as soon as we have all the order details.

What factors can affect the installation time frame?

UK homes are very unique in terms of shapes and sizes, with many unusual spaces for wardrobes. These variations in the size and intricacy of the areas and the wardrobe units themselves are the main factors that affect the installation time. 

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

How do you know if you need fitted wardrobes or not, and what are the benefits of having them installed in your home?

Based on research, your home's potential worth significantly rises if you add fitted wardrobes. Fitted wardrobes are more likely to draw potential buyers because they are viewed as a premium feature, which can help you evaluate whether they are worthwhile.

In addition to making the home ready to move into and different from other homes by giving it a special and unique atmosphere, it will also save potential buyers money and time that would have otherwise been spent on installing new wardrobes.

For clients who do not plan on selling the property, the biggest benefit of having fitted wardrobes is that you get a customised wardrobe that is designed exactly to suit your space, style and storage preferences. We’ve discussed all the benefits of installing a fitted wardrobe in detail here.

Reasons to hire a professional to do it for you?

When you’re ordering a new wardrobe, it is best to enquire about the installation beforehand. Most wardrobe companies offer their own delivery and professional installation services that are best suited for the job. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, fitted wardrobes can be complex so it’s best to let the professionals do the job for you.   

What should you consider when choosing a company to install your fitted wardrobes for you?

We personally recommend getting the wardrobe installed from the same company that you get the wardrobe from as their own team will be more experienced in installing that particular wardrobe. You’ll also be able to get the installation done at a relatively more economical cost from your wardrobe supplier than hiring another installation company. 

Installers who work with the company are also more likely to take ownership of their job and be accountable, which results in fewer errors.

However, if for any reason you’re opting for a different installation team, here are some things to consider:

• Online reviews: With most companies having a strong online presence these days, it is important to look at their Google Business reviews to learn from the client testimonials. So make sure that you go through the latest, the highest and the lowest reviews and ratings.
• Company experience: It's crucial to remember that not every company that installs new closets can accomplish a flawless job. So it's a good idea to find out how long the business has been doing closet installation work. A company with extensive experience will be a wise choice because its professionals can modify the closets to your specifications.
• Check the references: It's crucial to look at the most recent homeowners they have worked with to get a clear picture of their expertise and track record. Request three references, then check them out on your own. This is a reliable sign of their professionalism and dedication to doing the job well.
• Responsiveness and customer service: Here are some questions you need to ask before finalising the installation company: How quickly did they respond to your questions? Did they answer your follow-up queries? And did they get in touch with you in a timely manner? All these factors will help you decide what sort of customer service the company offers. 
• Price comparison: You obviously don’t want to be overpaying the wardrobe installers, so make sure that you do a market survey or a price comparison with 4-5 different companies. This will allow you to compare the rates and the services offered by the companies to choose the most suitable one. Nonetheless, the prices alone should not be the deciding factor as it’ll be better to go for a company with higher rates and good reviews than one with lower rates and bad reviews.
