Our story
A Solihull workshop, three decades on.
Olton Bedrooms was established in 1994 by Stuart Hubert, who started out in a small Solihull workshop and built the firm one handmade wardrobe at a time. Three decades later we're still in Solihull — now on Drayton Road in Shirley — and every piece of furniture is still handcrafted to order in our own workshop rather than boxed up on a production line somewhere else.
That's deliberate, and it's the whole point. Because we make everything ourselves — right down to our own Vinyl and New Era door ranges, in over fifty colours — your fitted bedroom is built around your room rather than forced to fit a standard carcass. It also means the awkward spaces other suppliers avoid, like sloped loft ceilings, under-stairs gaps and chimney-breast alcoves, are exactly where we do our best work.
What clients write about, over and over, isn't just the furniture — it's the way the work is done. A free design consultation to get the layout right, furniture made to measure, and a fit that's most often completed in a single day by our own team — described again and again as clean, tidy and polite. It's why so many of our customers, including families fitting out whole new-build houses, come back to us and recommend us to others.

What we stand for
The things clients mention every time.
Made, not assembled
Every piece is handcrafted to order in our own Solihull workshop — genuinely bespoke joinery, not flat-pack forced into your room.
Guided by experience
Three decades of designing fitted furniture goes into every layout — clients single Stuart out for steering them to what genuinely works, room by room.
Our own door ranges
We manufacture our own Vinyl and New Era doors in-house, in over fifty colours and sixteen-plus styles, matched right across the room.
A clean, tidy fit
Our fitters are described again and again as clean, tidy and polite — respectful of your home from the first day to the final tidy-up.
Most fits in a day
From consultation to a finished room typically runs six to twelve weeks, with the installation itself most often completed in a single day.
Repeat & recommended
A long-established local firm that runs on repeat custom and word of mouth — customers come back for room after room and send their friends.
The people you'll meet
A genuinely local team.
Founder
Stuart Hubert
Stuart founded Olton Bedrooms in 1994 in a small Solihull workshop and still leads the firm today. Clients — including repeat customers fitting out whole new-build houses — single him out for guiding them through the layouts that genuinely work for each room, drawing on three decades of designing and making fitted furniture.
Designers, makers & fitters
The Olton team
A close-knit Solihull team of designers, cabinetmakers and fitters — Sue, John, Lee, Ashley, Kurt, Kate, Zoe, Steve, Adam, Mark, Paul, Andy, Jonathan and Nathan — who between them design, handcraft and install every project. Clients describe them again and again as clean, tidy, polite and excellent at what they do.

In clients' own words
Every star earned on the job.
“Just had a fitted wardrobe to one of our bedrooms and standalone furniture to another bedroom. The service from start to finish has been excellent and the fitters were excellent too. Would definitely recommend and now looking forward to having the office fitted out. Thank you”
“Having used Olton before, we didn't hesitate going to see them again when we were looking to fit the rooms in our new build. The service from start to finish was exceptional. As we had so many rooms, Stuart guided us well in regards to what layouts would work for each room. The showroom as usual…”
“Thank you so much for the installation of my new wardrobes, I'm so happy with them! The quality is amazing. Paul and JJ were wonderful!”
“Wouldn't use anyone else! Had a bed made for my daughter's room and a shoe/coat cupboard fitted in our extension. WOW they are better than expected. Again from start to finish you cannot fault this company.”
