Tips worth knowing
None of this takes much effort. What we’d suggest:
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Decide whether you’d prefer drawers, cupboards or both
- Think about matching the woodwork or the walls
- Note how narrow the loft stairs are
Small marks on a hand-painted finish can be touched in. It’s worth keeping a record of the paint colour. Should you have a question about the storage, send us a few details through our contact form and we will help.
Temperatures in a loft room can swing more than elsewhere. Keep the room ventilated. It helps the storage stay in good condition.
About our loft storage in Alperton
Loft rooms are often bedrooms, so storage for clothes matters. Wardrobes under the slope, drawers in the knee wall and shelves in the dormer can all work together. Planned together, they make the room feel ordered. We design them around what you need to store in Alperton. We make eaves cupboards from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted, and the usual reasons to get in touch are clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom and a boarded loft that’s hard to keep organised.
Around Alperton, with interwar houses or semis making up much of the housing, the hall is often wide enough for coat and shoe storage. Bay windows suit seating with drawers or lift-up lids, with a grille so any radiator below keeps heating the room. Each space is measured and eaves cupboards are made to suit it.
The written quote is your record of the job. It describes the eaves cupboard we have designed for the room, its materials and its finish.

Questions we’re often asked
Will parking be an issue for fitting furniture in Alperton?
It can be, depending on whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. A van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a parking bay suspension, which the council arranges, often with notice. It’s useful to let us know about parking during the design visit.
I live near Wembley Central station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Brent and the rest of London. You can message us from the contact page to arrange a design visit.
What materials do you use for loft storage?
Moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. Stable materials suit a loft, where temperatures can vary. Your quote confirms the materials and finish.
How long does it take to fit loft storage?
How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and your quote sets out the fitting days. The storage is made in our workshop first, so the time in your home is spent fitting. We keep the route up to the loft as clear as possible.
What if the wall is cold or damp?
An outside wall can be colder and damper than an inside one, so we allow for ventilation behind and inside the furniture to avoid condensation. Any damp needs sorting by the right specialist before fitting.
Does eaves storage affect the insulation?
A good design avoids that. At the design visit we check what’s there and leave the space it needs. We do not alter insulation or vents.

How we price loft storage
A few things affect what fitted furniture costs:
- Hanging rails, shelves, drawers and other fittings inside
- The width and height of the space
- The number of doors and drawers
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room

Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Anything in the way, such as radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- Pictures of styles you like, if you have any
- Your postcode and the borough

How fitting day works
Every fitting follows the same order: we protect the floors, bring the sections in, set them level, scribe them to the walls, fix them and finish them. At the end, we tidy up and go over the work with you. How long the fitting takes depends on the shape of the room and the number of cupboards and drawers, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so it’s worth mentioning at the design visit. Otherwise, a visitor permit or a nearby bay helps. Doorways, stairs and floors are covered on the way in.
- It starts when you get in touch with some details about the loft.
- At the design visit we measure the knee walls, slopes and stairs and plan the storage with you, including the headroom under the slope.
- A written quote follows, with the design, finish and fitting days set out.
- We make every part in our workshop, cut to the angle of the slope.
- The storage is fitted in the loft and checked, door by door, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Move anything in the hall or on the stairs out of the way
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Tell us about any meters, fuse boards or boilers in the area

Could you do it yourself?
Off-the-shelf furniture can be a sensible choice. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is quick to buy.
Where bespoke earns its keep is in rooms that are not square. In period homes, walls lean, floors slope and the alcoves on each side are often different widths.
