Didcot bedrooms fall into two broad camps and off-the-shelf wardrobes struggle with both. The Victorian terraces near Station Road and Broadway have narrow box rooms with off-centre chimney breasts, so the two alcoves either side are rarely the same width. A flat-pack pair bought to match will sit wrong on one side from the day it goes in. The newer estates at Ladygrove, Valley Park and Great Western Park have squarer rooms, but ceilings are lower and the walls are plasterboard on timber studs rather than masonry, which changes how a run needs to be fixed and how heavy a load it can safely carry.
We measure every alcove and every wall independently rather than assuming a room is symmetrical or square, because in Didcot it usually is not one or the other. In the estate houses that means checking stud centres before we design the fixing points, since a wardrobe full of clothes and shoes puts real weight on the wall it is scribed against. In the terraces it means building two carcasses that look identical from the front despite being genuinely different sizes behind the doors.
Every wardrobe is drawn in CAD before anything is cut, built and sprayed in our own workshop at Ipsden, then delivered and fitted on site. For most Didcot addresses that is a short trip down the A4130, so a snagging visit or a follow-up measure does not need to be batched with anything else. Lead time on a bespoke run is around six weeks from a signed quote to fitting day.
