Over 30 years of hand-built wardrobes.
Every panel cut and edged in our own workshop.
On all movement of our sliding doors.

Our History
Sliding Wardrobe Warehouse was established in 1995, and the business has been based in Dorking ever since. [CHECK WITH CLIENT: how the business started, who founded it and whether it has always been at the Glebelands Centre] Over those three decades, the work has grown from sliding wardrobe doors into the full range we make today: fitted, sliding, hinged and walk-in wardrobes, made-to-measure wardrobes for awkward spaces, bedroom furniture, understairs storage, home office furniture, and lounge and media units.
What hasn’t changed is how we run the company. We’re an independent, family business, and the people you speak to are the people who own it. Mark, Alison and their son Jack run Sliding Wardrobe Warehouse together, and between them they look after everything from the first conversation in the showroom to the final check once your wardrobe is fitted.
That matters, because a bespoke wardrobe is a big decision. It changes how a room looks and works every day, and it should last for years. When you deal with a family business, you’re not passed between departments or handed over to a subcontractor you’ve never met. You know who is designing your wardrobe, who is responsible for getting it right, and who to call if you have a question.
It’s also why so many of our customers come back to us, or recommend us to friends and family. One customer told us she’d bought a wardrobe from us 20 years earlier, and the new one was even better.
Meet the Family
Many customers meet Mark first, when they visit the showroom to talk through door styles and finishes. He’ll help you weigh up the options, from the look of the doors to the way the interior is laid out, so you leave with a clear idea of what will work in your room.
Alison keeps the business running smoothly behind the scenes, making sure enquiries are answered, surveys are booked and every project runs to plan from order to installation.
Jack represents the next generation of the family business, bringing fresh ideas to a company built on traditional craftsmanship, and making sure Sliding Wardrobe Warehouse will be here for many years to come.
Alongside the family, our makers and fitters share over 150 years of combined experience in carpentry, joinery and installation. Every one of them is trained in-house, so the same standards run through every wardrobe we make.
Where to find us
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm · Friday 9am to 3pm · Saturday 9am to 2pm (by appointment)
Everything we sell is made by us. Our showroom and workshop sit together at the Glebelands Centre on Vincent Lane in Dorking, and that’s where every panel for every wardrobe is cut and edged to the measurements taken in your home.
Making everything ourselves gives us complete control over quality. We choose the materials, we check every component before it leaves the workshop, and we never have to force a standard size into a space it doesn’t fit. If something needs adjusting, the people who made it are the people who fix it.
Our showroom is the best place to start. You can see our sliding door systems side by side, open and close hinged doors, compare colours, glass and mirror finishes, and look at interior fittings such as drawers, shoe racks and pull-down rails. There’s free parking, and visits are by appointment so we can give you our full attention.
If you can’t get to us, we’re happy to talk things through on the phone or bring samples when we visit your home to measure.
How it works
There are no middlemen at Sliding Wardrobe Warehouse. The same team designs your wardrobe, makes it and fits it, which means nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a factory and an installer.
1
See door styles and finishes, and tell us what you have in mind.
2
We visit, measure the room precisely and talk through how you'll use the space.
3
You see your wardrobe as hand-drawn plans or CGI images, and we refine it until you're happy.
4
Every panel is cut and edged to your measurements in Dorking.
5
Our own fitters install the wardrobe, adjust the doors and walk you through it before signing off.
We know that having people working in your home can be disruptive, so we work cleanly and respectfully, keep you informed and clear away when we’ve finished. As one customer put it, the fitter “did a very professional job and cleared away afterwards.”
Our Standards
As a family business, our name is on every wardrobe we make, so we don’t cut corners on materials or workmanship.
High-density Egger panels for interiors and exteriors, with 2mm ABS edging on every panel. Many manufacturers use 1mm.
Komandor aluminium and Spacepro steel sliding door profiles, with 4mm AGC coloured glass and mirror.
Soft-close fittings and full-extension drawer runners, so doors and drawers run smoothly for years.
A 10-year warranty on all movement on our sliding doors.
In-house training for every member of the team, and CSCS cards for every installer, so the people in your home have been assessed for the skills the job needs.
Members of the Federation of Small Businesses, with £5m public, employers’ and product liability insurance.
Already happy with your wardrobe but tired of the doors? We also make replacement sliding doors for existing built-in wardrobes, measured and made to fit the space you have.
Who We Work With
Most of our work is for homeowners, from a single sliding wardrobe in a spare room to a full walk-in dressing room. We offer a complete design-to-installation service, or a supply-only service if you have your own fitter or you’re tackling a DIY project.
We also work closely with property developers across Surrey and Sussex, surveying new build homes and installing sliding, hinged and walk-in wardrobes to give finished bedrooms a high-end look. And we supply carpenters and builders with panels and materials cut and edged to their sizes and finishes, ready for their own teams to fit.
Whoever you are, you get the same family team and the same attention to detail.
