What affects the price?
Sliding doors are the main one — they need careful alignment and take far longer than hinged doors.
A big wardrobe is also a two-person job to stand safely, so some fitters price it accordingly.
Get it anchored to the wall
Any tall wardrobe should be fixed to the wall — it's the single most important safety step, particularly with children in the house. Most fitters do this as standard; confirm that they will.
