Sliding vs hinged
Sliding doors save the floor-space needed for a hinged swing, critical in rooms under 3m wide. Hinged doors give 100% internal access at once and a wider material range. Both are viable; the layout usually decides it.

Service overview
The full picture, before you commit a penny.
What it is
Made-to-measure sliding-door and hinged fitted wardrobes, built to the exact height, width and depth of your room, including scribing to skirting boards, ceiling coving and any wall bow or slope.
Who it's for
Homeowners in Newcastle, the North East, Surrey and Brighton who need serious storage in bedrooms, dressing rooms, landings, loft conversions and hallways, plus landlords upgrading rental storage to a durable long-life spec.
When you need it
When freestanding wardrobes don't fit, don't hold enough, or don't sit properly against a wall, or when you're refitting a bedroom, converting a loft, or reconfiguring a dressing area.
Why use a specialist
Fitted wardrobes make a room feel larger, not smaller: no visible gaps, no dead space above, no shadow lines down the side. And commercial-grade sliding tracks are engineered for a lifetime of daily use, the flat-pack alternatives derail within two years.
The cost of getting it wrong
What happens when this job is rushed, cheapened, or ignored.
The problem with freestanding wardrobes isn't the wardrobe, it's what you lose around it. Ceilings, alcove sides, floor gaps: that's storage you're paying mortgage on but not using. Compounded across a whole house, it's usually more space than a loft conversion would give you.
Risks & escalating costs
- Sliding-door kits without properly rated tracks derail within 12–24 months of daily use.
- Wardrobes not scribed to skirting and wall profile leave visible gaps that catch dust and light.
- Cheap MFC carcasses sag under hanging weight after a few years, replacement, not repair.
- Non-fused internal lighting is a fire risk and voids home insurance if declared.
- Poorly hung sliding doors scratch flooring and skirting on every use, visible damage over time.
Common mistakes we fix
- Buying online sliding-door kits without measuring wall bow, floor level or ceiling slope.
- Assuming a wardrobe you built once will move to the next house, it won't, cleanly.
- Ignoring internal fit-out at design stage, usually the highest-value part of the wardrobe.
- Choosing mirrored doors in low-light rooms without considering how they show smudges.
- Skipping soft-close on drawers to save budget, you notice it every single day.

Why it's worth doing properly
Concrete outcomes, not generic promises.
30–50% More Usable Storage
Floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall design consistently gives significantly more usable capacity than freestanding wardrobes of the same footprint.
Commercial-Grade Sliding Tracks
Roller and track systems rated for tens of thousands of open/close cycles, designed for a lifetime, not a two-year replacement cycle.
Sized To Your Wardrobe
Hanging heights, drawer counts, shoe racks and trouser rails specified to what you actually own, not what a catalogue thought you owned.
Scribed On Site
Every unit is scribed to your exact wall, floor and ceiling profile. No visible gaps, no filler runs, no shadow lines.
Installed In 1–3 Days
Most single-run fitted wardrobes are installed and finished within a working week, no long open project on your bedroom.
Certified LED Lighting
Internal wardrobe lighting installed with a fused isolator by our NICEIC-approved electrician, safe, dimmable and correctly rated.
The detail
Everything that goes into a Bridgeway fitted wardrobes.
We install fitted wardrobes in every configuration, sliding, hinged, walk-in dressing rooms and awkward alcove runs. Below is what we walk you through at design stage.
Door finishes we offer
Painted MDF (RAL / Farrow & Ball), veneered timber, matt lacquer, gloss lacquer, mirror, tinted glass, and reeded/fluted panels. Handles or handleless. Combinations are common, mirror centre with painted flanks, for example.
Internal fit-out ranges
Soft-close drawers, pull-out shoe racks, hanging (single and double height), trouser and tie racks, pull-down hanging rails, integrated LED, and jewellery inserts. Sized in millimetres to what you own.
Walk-in dressing rooms
Full L-shape or U-shape fit-outs, island units with drawers, seating benches, integrated mirrors and dedicated lighting circuits, designed as a single scheme rather than assembled from parts.
Loft & sloping-ceiling wardrobes
Sloping eaves are where bespoke earns its keep, every unit angled and scribed to the slope, with drawer runners front-mounted so nothing catches the ceiling line.
Landlord & rental spec
Robust carcasses, easy-clean finishes and drawer runners rated for daily abuse. Priced to make sense on a per-room yield basis and built to survive tenant turnover.
