Alcove Units Hailsham
Bespoke Alcove Units Hailsham
Every alcove, perfectly filled.
Six miles from your alcoves to our workshop.
Bespoke Alcove Cupboards & Shelving in Hailsham
Hailsham is about six miles from our workshop, which makes it the closest town we serve. Design visits are easy to arrange, and during fitting we are minutes away.
Every alcove unit is built to measure in Pevensey, hand-sprayed and fitted by the same team. In the older houses around the town centre, Hellingly and Upper Dicker, that usually means classic units either side of a chimney breast. In newer homes without one, the same approach works for recesses, chimney-breast-style media walls and awkward corners.
Either way, nothing is bought in and nothing is subcontracted.
- Classic chimney breast alcove units
- Built-in storage for recesses in newer homes
- Media and TV units with hidden cables
- Hand-sprayed in any colour

Ideas
What an alcove can do
Alcoves are one of the most flexible spaces in a Hailsham home. These are the three things people ask us for most.
Media & TV units
Alcoves either side of a TV make a natural media wall, with speakers, consoles and cables hidden behind doors.
Books & display
Shelving sized to your books and objects, with optional lighting to pick out the things you want on show.
Desk & home office
A fold-away or fixed desk built into one alcove, with shelving above, so work stays tidy and out of the way.
Finishes
Doors, details and paint
Every door and panel is made and sprayed in our workshop, so you are not limited to a supplier’s range.
Door styles
Shaker, flat panel or in-frame doors, with open shelving or glazed doors where you want to display rather than hide.
Paint & colour
Hand-sprayed in our own booth in any colour, including Farrow & Ball and Little Greene matches, or left as natural timber.
Details & lighting
Matching skirting and cornice, integrated LED lighting and handles chosen to suit the rest of the room.

Investment
What alcove units cost in Hailsham
Every alcove is measured and built to order, so there is no fixed price list. Cost depends on the size, the mix of cupboards and shelving, and the finish. You get a clear, itemised quote after your free design visit, and the figure we agree is the figure you pay.

FAQs
Hailsham alcove unit questions, answered
How close are you to Hailsham?
Our workshop is in Pevensey, roughly six miles away, which makes Hailsham the closest town we cover.
My house has no chimney breast. Can you still help?
Yes. Many newer Hailsham homes have recesses, corners or a blank wall that works just as well for built-in cupboards and shelving, or a media wall that creates alcoves where there were none.
Can you build around a TV and hide the cables?
Yes. We plan cable routes, sockets and ventilation at the design stage so nothing is visible once the units are fitted.
Shelving, cupboards or both?
Whatever suits the room and how you use it. We will talk it through at the design visit and show you the layout in 3D first.
How much do alcove units cost in Hailsham?
There is no fixed price list, because cost depends on the size, the mix of storage and the finish. We do a free design visit and give you a clear, itemised quote with no obligation.
What else do you make?
Kitchens, fitted wardrobes, bookcases, media walls, home offices and under-stairs storage, all from the same workshop.
