A linen cabinet rarely appears on a project schedule early. It is the cupboard everyone forgets until the fit-out drawings are nearly signed off — and then the dimension is wrong, the finish does not match the vanity run, or the internal shelving cannot hold the stock the housekeeping team actually stores. Because our linen cabinets are made to measure rather than picked from a standard catalogue, the quality of your enquiry determines how quickly you get a usable price. This guide sets out exactly what to send us and what happens next.
Before you write: decide what the cabinet has to do
Two projects can ask for the same tall cupboard and need completely different interiors. A villa pantry stores glassware and dry goods; a hotel floor's linen store stacks folded towels, bathrobes and spare duvet covers in bulk. Tell us the use, not just the word "linen cabinet", and we can propose an internal layout instead of guessing at one.
As part of our wider interior fixtures range, these tall units are usually specified alongside vanities, kitchen cabinetry and other built-in joinery. If they must read as one family with the rest of the millwork, send us the adjacent cabinet specification — door profile, board substrate, edge treatment and colour reference — so the tall unit is produced to match rather than approximated afterwards.
The information we need in your enquiry
Send the following and we can move straight to a costing. Missing items are not a problem — we will ask — but each one you supply removes a round trip.
| Item | What to include |
|---|---|
| Location and quantity | Country and city, number of units, and whether the same design repeats across floors or dwellings. |
| Opening dimensions | Width, height and depth of the recess, plus floor-to-ceiling height if the unit is to be built into a niche. Note skirting, pipes or a newel post that reduces usable space. |
| Door type | Hinged, sliding or open shelving, and which way doors should swing. Mention clearance in front of the unit if the corridor is tight. |
| Internal layout | Shelf heights and load, drawers, hanging rails for robes, pull-out baskets, or a dedicated compartment for bulky bedding. Say what has to fit, and we will set the spacing. |
| Material and finish | Board substrate, surface (matte, high gloss, lacquer, veneer, melamine or an aluminium-framed glass door) and a colour reference. A physical sample or RAL / paint code is far more reliable than a photograph. |
| Room conditions | Bathroom, laundry or corridor; whether the space is wet, humid or unventilated. This affects board choice and edge sealing. |
| Drawings if you have them | A marked-up plan, elevation or even a measured sketch with dimensions is enough to start. CAD files speed things up but are not required. |
| Target programme | The date the units must arrive on site and who receives them. This shapes production sequencing and how we consolidate your shipment. |
What our quotation covers
Enquiries come through the same custom and OEM service we use for project furniture, so a single price can cover more than one cupboard. A typical quotation sets out:
- The cabinet body, doors, internal fittings and selected hardware, itemised by unit.
- Finish and material options at each price point, so you can see what a change to the specification costs.
- Packing method and container loading where cabinetry travels with other goods from the same project.
- Freight option — sea, air or rail — with door-to-door delivery arranged by our logistics team, who also handle commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin.
Where a quotation includes other fit-out items — vanities, basins, shower systems, wardrobes or kitchen cabinetry — we produce them together so finishes, ironmongery and tolerances are consistent across the job.
How the enquiry moves to production
Our workflow follows the same stages we apply to villa and hospitality projects: consultation, design and planning, production, logistics, installation and after-sales. In practice for a tall cabinet order that means:
- Review. We read your drawings and come back with questions on dimensions, clearances and internal layout before pricing.
- Detail confirmation. A shop drawing showing sizes, door direction, shelf positions and finish reference goes to you for sign-off. Nothing is cut until that drawing is approved in writing.
- Production. Units are built to the approved drawing with the specified board, surface and hardware.
- Delivery and site support. Packed units ship to site, with on-site installation and inspection available where the project requires it.
Confirm on every order
Final dimensions, board substrate, finish code and internal configuration are confirmed per project. Please check the signed shop drawing against the site opening before production begins — field measurements taken after plasterboard or tiling are finished are far more accurate than those taken off the structural plan.
Combining linen cabinets with other joinery on one order
Most enquiries we receive are not for a single cupboard. A villa or apartment job usually needs the tall storage units specified together with kitchen cabinetry, wardrobes and laundry fit-out. Ordering them as one package means one drawing set, one production run, one container and one point of contact — which is how our turnkey solutions for villa, hospitality and office projects are normally arranged.
Related tall units in the same collection cover the other storage gaps on a typical floor plan:
- Utility tall cabinets for cleaning supplies and general household stores.
- Open shelf tall cabinets where display or easy access matters more than concealment.
- Multi function tall cabinets for laundry integration, including pull-out hampers and stacked appliance zones.
Questions we are asked most often
Can I order one unit as a sample? Yes, and it is often sensible on a multi-dwelling job. Confirm the sample's dimensions and finish before repeating the run.
I have no drawings. Send photographs of the space with a tape measure in frame and the rough dimensions. We will draft the layout for your approval.
Can the finish match an existing cabinet on site? Send a physical sample piece if you can. Colour-matching from a photograph is unreliable, particularly with veneers and metallic or high-gloss surfaces.
Do you ship to my site? Freight is arranged by sea, air or rail with customs paperwork handled on our side; import duties and local delivery terms are confirmed per destination, so tell us the delivery address in the first message.
