How Much Does It Cost to Build Fitted Wardrobes?

£1,500 – £6,000

per wardrobe

Building fitted wardrobes costs between £1,500 and £6,000 per wardrobe run, depending on the width, height, internal fittings, and whether it is a bespoke joinery build or a flat-pack system fitted by a carpenter. Floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes maximise storage and are priced by the linear metre of wardrobe run.

Prices vary by region, property type and tradesperson. Always get at least two quotes.

What affects the price?

Wardrobe width - a standard 3m wardrobe run costs less than a 5m or full-room installation

Build type - fitting a flat-pack system (Ikea Pax, etc.) is cheapest; bespoke joinery-made wardrobes cost significantly more

Interior fittings - drawers, pull-out trays, shoe storage, and internal lighting all add to the cost

Door style - standard hinged doors are cheapest; sliding doors, mirror panels, or custom lacquered fronts cost more

Labour vs materials

A joiner typically takes one to two days to fit a standard 3m wardrobe run. Labour accounts for 40-50% of the total cost for a flat-pack installation; a bespoke build has a higher labour proportion.
