Loft storage in Belmont: what you get
Behind the short walls at the edge of a loft room, there’s often space going to waste. Eaves cupboards and pull-out drawers built into the knee wall put it to work. Pull-out drawers mean you don’t have to crawl in. We measure and plan for the space you have in Belmont. 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 boxes and suitcases with no home and low eaves that nobody can use.
Around Belmont, interwar houses or semi-detached and detached homes make up a good part of the housing. If yours is a 1920s or 1930s house, the bay window at the front, the space under the stairs and the box room are the usual places to gain storage. Any meters or fuse board under the stairs stay accessible, and the storage is planned around them.
A written quote follows the design visit. It sets out the design we have talked through, the materials and the finish, so it’s clear what’s included.

Flats, conversions and leaseholders
For a rented home, access for the design visit and fitting day has to be agreed with the tenants. A letting agent can arrange this on a landlord’s behalf, and the written quote can go to whoever needs it.
Conversions and newer flats often have stud walls rather than solid brick. Fixings are chosen to suit whatever the wall is made of.
Questions from Belmont
Is Belmont in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes, we work across Harrow, Belmont included, and across the rest of London. You can use our contact form to arrange a design visit.
Does a conservation area in or near Belmont affect fitted furniture?
Usually not: conservation area rules mainly cover the outside of buildings, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can need listed building consent from the council. The council’s planning or conservation team can tell you if in doubt.
Does eaves storage affect the insulation?
Not when it’s planned well. At the design visit we check what’s there and leave the space it needs. We don’t alter insulation or vents.
Can the fitting be on a Saturday?
Yes, we can arrange Saturdays. Just mention it when you get in touch, and we will see what we can do.
Do I get to choose the colour?
The choice is yours. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
Can you convert my loft as well?
No. We don’t carry out loft conversions. We design and fit storage once the room is in place, from eaves cupboards to wardrobes under the slopes.
What prompts loft storage in Belmont
A sloping ceiling makes a standard wardrobe impossible. A wardrobe made for the slope uses the full height. It is often the main reason people get in touch about a loft bedroom.
Requests we hear often include:
- A dormer that isn’t being used
- Nowhere to store bags and boxes
- Boxes piled on loft boards
- Wasted space behind the knee walls
The wider area includes historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 1.6 miles west. If your own home is a period one, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
What to check before you book
- Where they’ll park and unload
- How they handle walls that are not straight
- Can you see real work of theirs?
- How they’ll get the furniture into the room
What affects the price in Belmont
Prices vary from room to room, for these reasons:
- Parking near your home
- How big the furniture is
- Stairs, lifts and the route to the room
- Doors and drawers, and how many
In London, parking can affect the price. Much of London is covered by controlled parking zones, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. It helps to talk about parking during the design visit, so we can plan for it.
Getting in touch
Ahead of the design visit, we will usually ask about:
- Pictures showing the full wall, from floor to ceiling
- How you want to use the space
- Any ideas or images you’ve saved
- Where you live, with the postcode
It’s useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line tell us a lot about the space, especially with rough measurements. To send them over, tell us about the room on our contact form, and we’ll arrange a design visit.

Could you do it yourself?
If you’re handy, a simple shelf or a standard wardrobe in a square room is a reasonable DIY job. It gets harder with sloping ceilings, out-of-level floors and lath-and-plaster walls.
The real difference is in the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.
How fitting works for loft storage
With the carcasses fixed and level, we hang any doors and fit any drawers or lids. We adjust each one so the gaps line up and it closes cleanly, and then we check it all again. How long fitting takes depends on the length of the eaves and the design, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Semis and detached houses often have a front path or a side gate, which can make carrying in easier. We measure the path, any steps and the front door as part of the route. Floors, stairs and doorways are protected on the way in, and the sections are assembled in place.
- You get in touch and tell us about your converted or boarded loft, and how you get up to it.
- We come to measure the room and the way up to it, and discuss the design.
- 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.
- We carry it up, fit it and leave it ready to use, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Take anything hanging off the wall we are fitting to
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Move furniture and belongings away from the wall

Fitted storage in Belmont
The biggest shares of homes in the streets around Belmont were built between 1919 and 1939 (about 61%) and before 1919 (about 14%), on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. Belmont is partly covered by a conservation area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. About 55% of households in the streets around Belmont live in detached or semi-detached houses, going by Census 2021 figures from the ONS. A house like that usually has more rooms to plan around than a flat, and sometimes a driveway that makes unloading easier.
Living in a block of flats near Harrow & Wealdstone station? Then it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Kenton Lane Farmhouse, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features.
