Alcoves, eaves and awkward corners: wardrobes in Wymondham

At about 27 miles east north east of Brandon, Wymondham is close to as far out as we go. It is a longer trip than Attleborough and Long Stratton, and we do make it, for a project that justifies the travel rather than for an hour's work.

Wymondham falls under South Norfolk Council. They are who the application goes to and who signs the work off, so it is worth knowing before a design is fixed. We build to what has been approved and work to the inspection stages on the programme.

Wymondham has a period centre of timber framed and Georgian property, with substantial modern development beyond. That is what fitted wardrobe work has to suit. Two houses on the same street can differ on this, so a number quoted down the phone is a guess. We price from the property, never from a template.

At roughly 27 miles it is outside our core area, so it depends on the size of the job. For a full wardrobe project the travel is usually worth it for both of us. For a small one day job it honestly is not, and we would rather tell you that than quote a price that reflects the driving.

Plots are tight through the centre of Wymondham and more open on the newer edges. It is mostly a practical point for inside work: where materials are unloaded and where a cutting station can be set up out of the way.

The period centre and the abbey setting bring their own constraints here. Inside the house that rarely stops anything, but it is worth knowing about when the work touches a wall, a floor or anything structural.

We do not make that call, the council does. For fitted work inside the house it is worth checking if the property is listed or if a wall is coming out, and we will tell you which of those applies once we have seen it. In Wymondham that means South Norfolk Council. If there is any doubt we would rather you check with them before work is booked than after.

Yes. It most often runs alongside second fix carpentry, media wall work and renovation work, and because one team does the carpentry throughout there is no gap between trades. At about 27 miles from our base, putting the work into one programme also means one run of travel instead of several.
