FWIW I was quoted £800 for a non-MDF alcove cupboard, two doors, full height. That's proper wood but doesn't include paint, which suits me.
Some other joker quoted over a grand to retrofit some off the shelf wardrobe, one of those plasticky looking things you get from places who advertise during Grand Designs and are called James Sandersen and have a woman tenderly stroking her wardrobe. I want to see knots and paintbrush streaks

Any recommendations on bespoke shelving/cupboard carpenters in East London?
Or any guidance on costs? Last time we had building work done I asked for a quote on some basic mdf shelves in a couple of alcoves and £700 seemed expensive, but maybe that’s what I need to budget for.
It would be to fill two alcoves either side of where a wall was removed with shelves, a large wardrobe/shelving in one room and some shelves/wall cupboard in another. Maybe some built-in cupboards around the chimney breast in a loft extension too.
