Loft storage in Chadwell Heath
Fitting day, step by step
The last stage of the day is the finish. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s usually only filling and touching up to do in the room; if you chose hand painting, that can be done in the room once the furniture is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. Loft stairs in an interwar house can be tight, with a low ceiling at the top, so any section going up there is sized for them. The main stairs in houses of that age are typically straighter. The pieces are joined and fixed once in place.
- You get in touch and let us know about your converted or boarded loft.
- We visit to measure the eaves and slopes and talk through the design, including the headroom under the slope.
- We send a quote in writing setting out the design, materials and finish, for you to look over.
- The cupboards and drawers are made in our workshop, in sections sized for the loft stairs.
- The storage is fitted in the loft and checked, door by door, with the finish sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
Before fitting day
- Check the building’s rules for trades and lift bookings
- Clear the area where the furniture is going
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to get a quote
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. Each room is different, so we quote after seeing it, when we have measured up and talked through the design. To arrange a visit, get in touch through our contact form.

Loft storage for homes in Chadwell Heath
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. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Chadwell Heath, it’s planned around your things. If you’re living with furniture that can’t get up to the loft and seasonal things cluttering the loft room, eaves cupboards made from birch ply and moisture-resistant MDF, painted by hand or sprayed can solve it.
A good part of the housing around Chadwell Heath is interwar, semi-detached or detached. In a typical 1930s house, storage tends to hide in the bay, under the stairs and in the box room. Any meters or fuse board under the stairs stay accessible, and the storage is planned around them.
Once you’ve read the quote and decided to go ahead, the furniture is made at our workshop. It describes the design, the materials and the finish agreed at the visit, so you can check every detail beforehand.

About loft storage
Common questions about loft storage
Is Chadwell Heath in the area you cover for loft storage?
Yes, we work across Barking and Dagenham, Chadwell Heath included, and across the rest of London. You can drop us a line using the contact form to arrange a design visit.
Do you cover homes near Chadwell Heath station?
Yes. We cover all of Barking and Dagenham and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and let us know about parking and access at the same time.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It’s something we deal with all the time. The furniture is scribed to follow the walls and levelled on feet or a plinth.
Do pictures help?
Yes, they help. Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling, give us a good idea of the space. You can send them when you use our contact form.
Do you do the electrics?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We will design around them.
How much does loft storage cost?
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. Drawers in the knee wall typically involve more work than simple cupboards, and the finish matters too. Everything is set out in a written quote after the visit.
Made for the room, or bought in a box?
Loft walls are rarely straight, and floors are often out of level. Ready-made pieces show the gaps. Our storage is scribed to the room and set level, so the lines look right. Off-the-shelf furniture comes in a few set depths, which may be too deep for one spot and too shallow for another. Fitted furniture is made to the depth the space can take.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting is done in the workshop, while hand painting can be done on site. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.

Do you need loft storage in Chadwell Heath?
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.
If you recognise any of these, it is worth talking to us:
- A dormer that isn’t being used
- Furniture that can’t get up to the loft
- A converted loft with no fitted furniture
- Clothes with nowhere to go in a loft bedroom
Hare Hall, about 2.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area. For a period home anywhere nearby, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards.
Questions to ask before you hire anyone
- A written quote that sets out the job
- Is it spray painted or hand painted?
- Will they visit to measure before quoting?
- How parking will work on your street
Storage in Chadwell Heath homes: local notes
About 40% of the homes in the streets around Chadwell Heath went up between 1945 and 1972, and about 32% between 1919 and 1939, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Entries on the National Heritage List near the centre of Chadwell Heath include Granary to North West of Crown Farmhouse (Grade II), under half a mile east, and Crown Farmhouse (Grade II), about 0.5 miles east. For a listed home, works inside that affect its character can need listed building consent from the council, for instance removing or fixing into original panelling. Ask the council’s conservation officer before anything is fixed. London’s red routes are run by TfL, and stopping on them is tightly controlled. If your home in Chadwell Heath is on or near a main road, tell us at the measuring visit. It lets us plan the stop before fitting day.
If your home is one of the older houses near St Chad's Church, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even. If your children go to Warren Junior School or a school nearby, eaves cupboards can be planned around what a family needs to keep, from coats and bags to sports kit.
Chadwell Heath is about 4 miles south-west of Barking, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Chadwell Heath is part of the area we cover. Our work takes in places right across Barking and Dagenham, from the busiest high streets to quiet residential roads.
Every home in RM6, RM7 and RM8 is within our area for loft storage, from the main roads to the quieter streets. Streets in the area include Back Lane, West Road and Eric Road, and homes on each of them are within our area for loft storage. Chadwell Heath sits close to the A1112, and we plan where the van can stop before fitting day. Close by, we also work in Becontree Heath (1 mile south-east), Rush Green (1 mile south-east), Romford (2 miles east) and Goodmayes (2 miles south-west). Other parts of Barking and Dagenham we cover include Barking (4 miles south-west), Dagenham (3 miles south), Becontree (2 miles south), Thames View Estate (4 miles south-west), Barking Riverside (4 miles south) and Castle Green (3 miles south).
Local landmarks in Chadwell Heath
We fit furniture in homes around The Warren School, The Warren School and The Eva Hart pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Chadwell Heath station, roughly 0.9 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include King George Hospital (1.4 miles west) and The Brewery (1.5 miles east).
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Flat-pack and off-the-shelf furniture has its place. In a room with square walls and standard sizes, it can work well, and it is easy to buy.
What you pay for with bespoke is mainly the fit: scribed edges, a level base on an uneven floor and furniture that meets the ceiling, skirting and picture rail. Off-the-shelf furniture cannot typically do that in an older room.
What it costs
The price reflects the time and materials the job needs. That depends on:
- The width and height of the space
- Walls and floors that are out of level or out of square
- Access to the room, like stairs, lifts and narrow halls
- The finish: spray painted or hand painted
In London, parking can affect the price. The boroughs run controlled parking zones across much of the city, so a van may need a visitor permit, a paid bay or a bay suspension near your home. Let us know about parking at the measuring visit.
Getting in touch
A few details help us understand the job before we visit. When you contact us, it’s useful to send:
- Pictures of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- Anything in the way, like radiators, sockets, switches, a boiler or meters
- What kind of home it is, and which floor the room is on
- Any ideas or images you have saved
To get a quote, tell us about the room on our contact form and tell us a little about the room and roughly what you’d like. We then arrange a design visit to measure and go through the design, and send you a quote in writing afterwards.
